  Oh, Schizm! (Daniel 11:35)

  schizm: here's something for you to consider, which you will no doubt disagree with, but that shows that the wts will refine its thinking on these issues:

  and some of those having insight will be made to stumble, in order to do a refining work because of them and to do a cleansing and to do a whitening, until the time of [the] end; because it is yet for the time appointed.

  Schizm what you are saying is completely and hilariously irrelevant.

  My assertion stands: you continue to confirm your inability to answer AuldSoul's points.

  I don't qualify, but I'm not asking you to answer my questions. I'm pointing out that you *forgot* to answer AuldSoul's points, and I assume he does qualify.

  Greg Stafford releases JWD 3

  greetings group .

  i saw today that stafford is going to be releasing a third addition of his jehovahs witnesses defended publication at a pre-sale price, on his web site at http://www.elihubooks.com/ .

  it will be of interest to those of us who have read his publications to see what changes will be in version 3 that were not in version 2, since the release of his three dissertations book, which was a more candid look at the history of the wt history and doctrinal changes.

  I second the motion that the post is by Greg Stafford, and extend the motion to describe said post as 'spam'.

  Clarification: I know you tried to answer one of the points, but you didnt offer any evidence to back up your assertions.

  Schizm - surely you can do better than that? Try answering the points AuldSoul raises.

  Roots of human family tree are shallow (agrees with the Bible)

  looks like the bible is right after all.. from:.

  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060701/ap_on_sc/brotherhood_of_man_1with the help of a statistician, a computer scientist and a supercomputer, olson has calculated just how interconnected the human family tree is.

  you would have to go back in time only 2,000 to 5,000 years and probably on the low side of that range to find somebody who could count every person alive today as a descendant.

  Gill - I think you're referring to the idea of the Mitochondrial Eve, rather than Mitochondrial DNA.

  "They have kept changing their theories so often through the years."
  Thats kind of how science works... it doesnt matter how much you like a particular idea, if new evidence comes to light that doesnt fit, then you have to modify your idea to fit the new evidence as well as old. That way you always have the best possible explanation given the facts. Science is not at all analogous to religion, and neither are scientists analogous to religious leaders. Most religious leaders start off with what they have decided through faith is the best possible explanation, then refute any evidence that disagrees.
