Do none of you know this answer or is it just fun to be sarcastic.

Noah and the ark are not real. If they did exist they did not in the way the bible describes.

Black or darker skin is a protection from the sun. races that existed over time closer to the equator developed darker skin. Take into account the Africa and the middle east. European races that evolved farther away from the equator have lighter skin.

I won't get into everything if you want to know more look it up. Just please do not reply that god created us that way or created us at all.

Sorry for jumping into the fight on your thread. Maybe I should just learn to shut up and take it.

That's what I was thinking.

What I'm going to tell my parents

if my fade ever comes to a head, and my parents demand i explain myself, i now know exactly what i'm going to say.

you believe that the watchtower society is the only channel to god.

i know you realize they're imperfect men, but i also know that if they ordered you all to go on a killing rampage of your non-witness family, there would be people that would be willing to go, and maybe even you would kill me.

I just started asking my dad questions right after I was reinstated. I asked and I guess was still looking for an adequate answers. I had already been studing science on my own and had many resonable questions that I guess I had been aswering myself. Finally thought when the question arrived why I wasn't going to the hall anymore I simply said I have to many questions and am not getting enough answers. Then stated asking. I knew they couldn't give me good answers which led to discussions. These talks usually ended with the family, elder friend who is a biochemist simply asking me whether or not I believed in Jesus. I said he may have lived but I COULDN'T believe anymore.

i'm currently still attending meetings and am "considered" to still be in good standing.

i've cut back on how much i go, because to be honest i really don't believe any of it anymore.

some of it i do still believe is true and legitimate, but most of it i feel is bs.

I agree with robert. At first I just decided not to go anymore, but I was still somewhat in favor of the JWs, I was raised in it, it takes time. After a while though don't be suprised if you aren't so favorable. I mean the people that are still active that I hang out with from time to time, including family, all know that I am an athiest. In my experience though, they don't care. Even an elders in my old hall know that I smoke, drink and live my my girlfriend, but at this point I guess they just would rather ignore it.

Yeah, I just stopped going. I was DF'd then reinstated, for my dad mainly. After that I just stopped going. The elders did hear about some of the stuff I was doing which probably would have gotten me DFd again, I just lied. I felt at that point it wasn't for me so why did I have to answer to them. Now, it is obvious to other that are still active, that still know me, that I should have been DFd, but the truth of the matter is they are glad I am not so they don't have to treat me that way. The elders asked me after I stopped why I did RIGHT after I got reinstated. I told them it wasn't really for me at the time. They had nothing to DF me for so they didn't. that was seven years ago.

It might not work that way for you but the remaining family member that are still active continue to treat me fine, my brother on the other hand is DFd and although my parents do not treat him any different others do, and it is completely BS. It doesn't hurt the fact that only two members in my immediate family are still in.

Keep in mind though if you don't do something it will just continue to bother you. Nobody wants to live a lie or feel forced to do something.

I don't know which is worse catholic or JW. I mean really. If you can find things wrong with JWs you should most certainly be able to find things wrong with the catholic faith as well.

Here it is. If god's word existed it would not be that difficult to find. It says that in the bible.

Get off the sea-saw.

My guess is he drank jager which he made from deer's blood... I can not find any reason that this wouldn't be true... oh am I supposed to think... in that case ...it never happened. If that doesn't make sense then I guess it did happen in that case it had to have been pabst.
