  What Freedoms Do You Enjoy Now That You're Not A Witness?

  by minimus in

  the watchtower scoffs at "apostates" because they want their "so-called freedom".

  not practicing this religion does give you a lot of freedom and normalcy.

  what freedoms do you cherish now?

  How did you dispose of your JW books? (Or did you?)

  little drummer boy and i have a small house and we do not have room for the wasted space all of these books are creating.

  here's a brief rundown of what we have:.

  several nwt hardcover bibles, chinese bibles (lots of chinese students in our town), insight on the scriptures, concordances, a few bound volumes, song books, km books, reasoning books, the entire bible on audio tape, and more.

  I plced them inside a plastic bag, then inside another plastic bag, then placed them inside a wall of a room I was refinishing in my house. Spiritual food for the mice now.

  Evolution and Homosexuality in species

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i started wondering the other day how homosexuality could evolve in species, humans for example, assuming the main purpose of evolution and natural selection is for creatures to reproduce and pass on their genes to another generation.

  obviously for natural selection to favour homosexuality there must be benefits to the species which outweigh the disadvantages of no/less reproduction patterns of homosexual members of the species.

  i found an article that certainly offers some suggestions to solving the seeming "puzzle".

  With regards non-human animals, isn't availability also a factor? For example, a zoo may have an enclosure with only male canaries. Since the drive to pair up and perform the act of sex is still there, some will become attracted to other males. ...Just a thought.

  Hey, thanks so much Nathan Natas. I did not even know that a site like that existed. You were right about the slow downloading speed, but I just started it going and then when I just came back to my computer it was done. The scan is a very good quality and it's exactly what I needed. So, thanks again!

  Okay, a friend of mine who is still a Witness wrote to the Watchtower Society a few years ago asking questions about the flood. He showed me their response and I made a copy of it. I am trying to get a copy of all the articles that Watchtower references in their letter. So, I really want the article called "Noah's Passenger List", from 1951, regardless of whether the information has been repeated in more recent articles. I especially want to see if that article references other (non-Watchtower) sources and then I can research those too.

  Blondie, you asked: "Are you hunting based on this quote...?"

  The answer is no, although the information from the 1957 Watchtower is very interesting. I wanted this exact article because someone gave me this reference as an "answer" to the question of which species were on the ark. I assumed I could just look the article up on the CD-Rom, but evidently not.

  this time i thought for sure they wouldn't publish this one...but i believe our local paper, the stevens point journal is a very liberal, progressive little newspaper.

  the elders ignored my last letter...i wonder if they can ignore this one???

  oh how i love it!!.
