over the years, the watchtower has, believe it or not talked out of both sides of its mouth on this issue.
surprise, surprise.
lol!.
"I saw a great crowd no man was able to number"
Clearly the WTBTS somehow equates their 6 odd million membership as a crowd that no man could number. (and yet they still try and put a number on it anyway along with stats on publishers, pioneers, average hours, new recruits, new baptisms)
i've long known, and most of you probably have as well, that there was something not all there with me.
mostly i put it down to me being bad.
questions i've never been asked before.

We all go a little crazy sometimes, I am positive that all of us have some kind of mental instabilities at one point or another. You can't be really all that crazy if you know you are because if you were you wouldn't know, you know. (If you get that then maybe you are lol)
Kisses precious, the pills will be sweet

this should stir things up!
haven't finished reading it.
thought some of you would get a kick out of it.
The fact remains that they have not proven it beyond a shadow of a doubt that evolution is nothing more than a theory
Nonsense evolution is a fact, the theory is the part which deals which speculating on HOW it happens
How do we know some space ship didn't crash land with ape like species aboard?
What like a pet? Or the ape was flying the ship?? Is there ANY evidence for this space ship, I mean I know you believe everything exists because some super god click his celestial fingers one day as he was bored so it doesn't surprise me that you would put forth such a dumb theory as a space ship bringing an ape to earth.
By the way their is ample evidence to show how evolution occurs, honest it is out there, free of charge, accessible to all IF you be bothered to study
Science always jumps to conclusions in the field of evolution and seem to always find that the latest discorveries are more related to animal than they are to man after it comes under scrutiny
Now you are just making things up, could you post something to back this ridiculous statement up? You should have more respect for people who have the desire to find answers, people who are not content to give a mythical god credit BECAUSE they know no better. If it was not for people like this we would not have things you no doubt take for granted like the internet and airplanes
i'm not a big fan of internet shopping.
what about you?

erm, according to my status thing on the left I am no longer a newbie, however................
I was a witness in the north east of England back in 1985 ish to 1993/4 ish so this was pre generation doctrine new light blah blah. My mother had raised me as a dub till i was 13 but she was quite abusive (no shock there lol) and I placed myself in foster care where to my surprise I ended up with...........another witness family. In all fairness to this family they did try very hard to help me when I was going through quite a typical rebellious teenage phase. I may add that at this point I actually did believe all of the crap I was forcefed at the KH, as in I genuinely believed the world would shortly be destroyed and that Jah would be questioning me over my frequent erm.......lapses in self control lol.
Then I started to see
My first problems with everything revolved around ethics, I was scheduled for a bible reading at the age of 14 on the passage of the bible that deals with the angel killing the 185,000 assyrians, the more I read this the more I was disconcerted, 185,000!!! that is a lot!!! Men who had families, who were doing there job, who knew nothing of this special God. Why didn't He teleport them away? Or turn the assyrian king's heart. I delivered the talk with a sly nod to my feelings which a comment of "some...........could say God was cruel killing 185,000 men in one night, some could say they were innocent men with families........however" I was looked at in a suspicious light after that, at least it looked that way to me.
Ove rthe next year I started to study science a lot more, things just did not add up, the flood, fossils, dinosaurs, I saw that I could not argue my case when science conflicted with what I had been taught in the hall.....then the penny dropped. My belief system was like a house of cards where cards one by one had been slowly pulled away to finally the house just collapsed. I woke up one morning and realised I was an atheist...that was a strange day
Since then i left, never looked back, had a kid, got educated, and got a great big fat social circle woohoo for me!!
or are you still grossly affected because you were once a jw?
Am I a well adjusted, tax paying, law abiding member of secular society? - Yes
I am totally normal
*apart from my hidden super powers*
why, exactly, are you here on jwd?.
are you out of the jw's and still needing association with like people?.
do you lack the skills to have real friends in real life?.
I am here because I used to be a JW, am no longer one, I have unlimited internet access at work and while wikipedia keeps me amused I need other things to stimulate me and unfortunately my company takes a dim look towards drugs and alcohol in the work place ;-)
Oh and checking out if there are any hot exjw's in the UK (hey....honesty is next to godliness or some shit like that)
i have really been enjoying all the parodies of questions from the readers.
but, sometimes, it's just to easy.
missanna was sent a watchtower from her "loving".
Wait for it............
Caffeine
Salt
Sugar
Red meat
Full fat milk
Basically all of the things like taste..............GOOD!!!!!!!
Frickin' bunch of donuts, and to think some grade a donut with nothing better to do than ponders Jehovah's viewpoint on caffeine actually wrote to HQ because he/she was feeling confused. Probably some eager teenager, if I was his father I would smack him round the head and tell him to drink his expensive, double frothy caramel frothiccino and stop spoiling it for the rest of us
*having flashbacks of those eager beaver teenage dubs, always causing me grief they were, "You're drinking cider at the age of 17, you're stumbling me, I will tell Elder "do not have any qualifications to be a counseller but will do it anyway" Smith if you don't stop and prayer to jehovah for repentance*
