  It's one thing to see that video on it's own but it is quite another to see it introduced during a talk at a convention. Truly disgusting! Kinda reminds me of a televangelist.I am glad you told me it was at the 22 minute mark rory-ks that way I didn't have to sit through the rest of that drivel.

  What are you gonna do when the existence of god is disproved?

  by Doltologist in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in 1897, j.j. thomson discovered the electron.

  this was the first constituent part of the atom which, for 2,000 years, was thought to be indivisible.

  today, we know of 18 elemental particles following the recent discovery of the higgs boson, the so-called god particle.. back in 1897, most people believed in god because there weren't even any theories as to how the universe came into being.

  Your reference starts in 1897. In 2015 there are billions of people alive today waiting for someone to disprove a belief in God. It's not going to happen.

  what kind of confidence can anyone have in an organization that rejected its founder and first two presidents for the first 63 years of its existence?

  that's 53% of the time they existed!

  any comments.

  I have every confidence. That the GB are imperfect men led by holy spirit. They might make some errors but as the time of the end draws nearer the light gets brighter and brighter. LOL

  Why Science is Better Than Religion and Always Has Been

  Finklstein I don't have time to watch it right now.It's a good post I'll bet.

  My personal observation is that religion is learning how to toe the party line like a politician does and science is all about learning how things work. There has been lots of science that goes unreported because the real joy that scientists discover is the joy of finding things out. I am thinking about Fermat's last theorem here.

  California Out of Water Soon

  by Village Idiot in

  1. social
  2. current

  look closely at the figures below and see how much water california has left from its major source of water the sierra mountains:.

  my advice, not that any politician would take it, would be to eliminate most agriculture in the state.

  almonds, rice and alfalfa, are all thirsty water guzzling crops that neither those in california nor the rest of the nation needs.

  Village Idiot I have not been in the state of California in years. Back in the day it was a happening place but as I remember water was always scarce there. Tell us all about the lay of the land these days, in terms of politics, who is prospering and what ever? Living next to Lake Ontario I can't even imagine what it must be like to stockpile 40 days worth of drinking water.

  truthseeker100, I too am doing some voluntary reduction even though the owner, for now, pays for the water. I'm afraid of the drinking water being gone from one day to the next. When that goes it will go fast.

  I've stockpiled about 40 days worth of drinking water, 20 if I cook with water. It's not really enough.

  I had no idea it was bad there!

  Village Idiot California is a desert state like Nevada. I enjoy strawberries we get get from there in winter.and that's about it. Look into farm subsidies in the state and you will see the corruption I am sure the poor poor farmers there with their illegal Mexican workers making less than the minimum wage would agree.

  Teddy Hero Worship Continues -- Sept 15 Study Edition Bio on Melita Jaracz

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  very weird article, you can read it here if you can tolerate such nonsense:.

  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20150915/melita-jaracz-blessing-in-life/.

  basically teddy was a super, duper spiritual giant who went undercover behind the iron curtain, sorta james bond like.

  Oh yes, she had humble beginnings in a poor backwoods Canadian province.

  Lets be clear here, Saskatchewan farmers wipe their ass with non taxable hundred dollar bills today, just like they did during the great depression. It does not surprise me that she would seek out a life living off others, that's what she was brought up to do. Humble beginnings my ass!

  It must be nice to own land live off of it not pay tax on it and on top of that, get a nice little check from the government each month. Sounds like a governing body recruitment poster. LOL

  2. bible

  watchtower september 2015 study edition, "stand firm in the faith," paragraphs 16 and 17:.

  following jesus example, we must read the bible daily, study it, and meditate on what we learn.

  along with general bible study, dig into topics about which you may have questions.. you can imitate jesus by meditating on the wonderful promises jehovah has made to you.

  THIS IS WHAT WITNESSING HAS BEEN REDUCED TO IN 2015

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  threads on the newer jw face of public "witnessing" have shared in common the astonishment that jws safely park themselves behind their literature trolleys and exercise incredibly little contact with passersby.

  whether the poster is talking about europe or the united states or australia, descriptions here are the same.. literature stands are protective sheilds behind which jws huddle, talking to each other, sipping on their espressos, whilst the disinterested world passes by.

  neither the jws nor the passersby catch each others eyes.
