  Why do we have redundant DNA? The coding is there, but it's not functional. In evolutionary terms it's an advantage, as some of it might be be useful at some point, but if we we designed to be perfect, why the junk DNA?

  Demon Stories

  by humblepotato in

  so we all know that "crazy" brother or sister.

  every kingdom hall has one.

  they give the best comments (from a hilarious perspective), have experiences with the "demons", but most importantly, they are on about 10 deifferent kinds of medications.

  People lie, exaggerate and pass off made up stories as real all the time. I believe the young man was mentally ill or took drugs, then had a meltdown and threw himself around. Obviously the brothers were scared and afraid of demons and jumped to conclusions. Elders usually know very little about mental illness

  I say proof or it didn't happen.

  And it does not take faith to not believe in God any more than it takes faith to not believe in the Easter Bunny.

  By “evolution,” we mean “macroevolution”—apes turning into humans, for example.

  quote in title taken from article footnote.. anyone have information on who gene hwang and yan-der hsuuw in the article are?.

  why do they repeatedly state that apes turned to humans when that's not what evolutionists teach at all?.

  (Besides, I think a strong argument could be made that, genetically, humans are a subset of ape. We're really closely related to them, that's for damn sure.)

  According to the National Geographic, we share 96% of our genome with Apes. I guess Jehovah was tired by then and didn't want to start from scratch.

  Yes, religion isn't doing much for anyone any more. Religious belief gives people the mistaken impression that they are better than those not of their belief system, a dangerous mind set that assumes nothing is as important as rigid acceptances of ones belief system. What is more important now is reducing mankind's impact to the earth via climate change, learning to live in peace, fighting poverty and famine.

  What makes a person want to attend religious services where the loved one is not spoken to (initially) and has to go through silly hoops to be accepted back in?

  I believe in most cases they are doing it to strictly please their new love. In my experience they soon tire of the religion and don't end up getting baptized.

  Big eyes- jw's all excited about the movie

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those still attending.

  have you seen an excitement go through the dubs about the tim burton film big eyes?

  they reckon it will give a "fine witness".. i've seen it and found it really irritating, basically margaret keane is such a timid mouse that she allows her husband to take all the credit for her work.

  I can't imanlgine why anyone would be excited about this. I would think most people don't care and won't remember what religion she was by the next day. If they do think about it they will probably see she just went from being a doormat for her husband to being a doormat for her religion.

  Yes, although by the time I left I had few friends and not a lot of family left. Like Pete Zahut said, at some point you just cant go on as you were. My only regret is not leaving sooner.
