You are so right, Thisismein1975................the masses will eat out of your hands when a so-called expert, dressed in the appropriate garb, gives his 'professional' opinion. Mass media (including religious mass media) are experts at selling their 'product' to an unsuspecting public.

Looking at this video with Dr. Angel Fierro and I'm cringing.
by Island Man ini'm cringing because the video is very empty in the way of presenting any credible evidence or logical reasoning for rejecting evolution in preference for creationism.
but it's not the only reason.the video wreaks of propagandistic manipulation.
first, angel gives very stereotypic reasons for why he accepted evolution in the past.

where have the demons gone?
by aboveusonlysky indoes anybody remember some of the sensational demon stories jw's would tell back in the day?
i was a kid in the early 80's and i remember a few times hearing of people having real life encounters with demons.
for example, one sister claimed that before she became a jdub she would regularly talk to demons and they would even fix stuff like her washing machine!

Maybe most of the demons have gone apostate from their 'mother organization'. They probably became discouraged when the 'demon governing body' kept pressuring them to put more and more haunting and terrorizing time on their 'monthly service report'. Third and fourth generation demons are now waking up to the fact that their 'haunting' has done little good and they are now tired of the 'busy work' . Perhaps after having learned 'the truth about the demon truth' they just gave up and started living a normal demon life?

Great building design!If it doesn't work out as a Jehovah's Witness 'educational center' , the Governing Body(tm) can always sell it to the DOLLAR GENERAL store chain.
I think 'Brother' Rankin used 'theocratic warfare' when he described the building as an 'educational center'. It could more appropriately called an 'indoctrination center'.

"-Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound an fury
Signifying nothing." - Macbeth Act 5 scene 5

Today's Text - You MUST Love Jehovah!
by Divergent inthursday, september 1. you must love jehovah your god.—matt.
22:37.. if you have a loving relationship with jehovah, you will be a ‘doer of the word, not a hearer only.’ (jas.
1:22-25) a “doer” has faith that produces such works as zealous preaching activity and participation in christian meetings.

YOU MUST HAVE LACKED FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just remember, in WATCHTOWERLAND, the individual is always to blame. You either lacked faith, ran ahead of the organization, didn't trust in Jehovah enough, had selfish intentions, were blinded by Satan, had unclean 'private sins' , didn't pray hard and long enough, didn't go out in service enough, didn't answer at the meeting enough, grieved Jehovah's Holy Spirit, weren't reaching out enough, were not keeping up with Jehovah's progressive chariot, read your own personal interpretations into prophecy, didn't respect the authority of the Elders, didn't 'wait of Jehovah' and the list goes on and on and on! Jehovah, Jesus Christ, the invisible angels and his corporate representatives, the GOVERNING BODY OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES (tm) never take responsibility for anything......................but you must love Jehovah in spite of the evidence!

Evolution Gap - Where's the Fur?
by shadow inevolution paints human ancestors covered with fur.
fur has several benefits as stated by britannica "the pelts of fur-bearing animals are called true furs when they consist of two elements: a dense undercoat, called ground hair, and longer hairs, extending beyond that layer, called guard hair.
the principal function of ground hair is to maintain the animal’s body temperature; that of guard hair is to protect the underlying fur and skin and to shed rain or snow.".
