  The Governing Body said it ... are you ready !!!!!!!!!!!!

  i was at a funeral this weekend, the first time i'd been in a kingdom hall in 13 years, the talk was short about a half hour, and all jw stuff as expected, but the one part of the talk made me laugh, the speaker said :.

  "we (a group of elders), had the oppourtunity to speak with a member of the governing body at the assembly, and he said : "we the governing body are confident that armageddon is close, and are ready for jehovah's day, are you ready ???"".

  i couldn't believe my ears, they will never learn.

  This is there sensationalism at its best. The only end that is right around the corner is there own.

  I agree Darth Frosty, hopefully closer than we all think.

  How do you feel about Tatoos?

  i feel very offended and distrurbed when i see people covered with tatoos.

  some people have tatoos all over their bodies, even on their faces.

  there are also tatoo programs on the tlc channel that children can watch without a forewarning before the show comes on.

  The Memorial...

  does anyone still go to the memorial?

  i was just thinking that although i made it quite clear to my wife that i was not going to go to anymore meetings or conventions (i made a comment about not wanting to be there when the kool-aid came out) that i caught myself thinking the other day that i might go to the memorial just to keep her happy.

  but then i thought why?

  my daughter will be turning 19 on the 24th.

  this weekend we're having a dinner party for her at indochine restaurant and then taking her guests to the movies.

  i am so pleased that i am able to do this without one iota of fear or guilt like the jws wish they could still impose on us.

  What faithful JW's do you pity the most?

  many of us have family in the borg, we are anxious to get them out, .

  we might be very angry with the borg.. but who among the jw do you really just pity?

  is it elders, pioneers, retired folks w/o decent retirement?.

  i think it would be a nice feature on this site if we had a list of people who where active on the board, then we wouldnt be upset if we had no replies to our topics ( cos no one was about ) or be really excited if there were a couple hundred.

  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".

  oops i stuffed up... i meant to say this in the second paragraph

  this doesnt actually mean you are more attracted to the same sex though, males being "less-masculine" or more feminine doesnt mean you are going to prefer the same sex, it could just mean that your sex drive isnt as strong, it really DOESNT point towards homosexuality from what i can see.

  sorry everyone, lol

  But the genetic makeup of less-aggressive males also makes homosexuality more likely. Also males who are "less-masculine" also have lower sex drive and so reproduce less. So it's a trade-off somehow.

  this doesnt actually mean you are more attracted to the same sex though, males being "less-masculine" or more feminine doesnt mean you are going to prefer the same sex, it could just mean that your sex drive isnt as strong, it really point towards homosexuality from what i can see.

  And what about lesbianism? That theory doesn't quite work in reverse. More aggressive females make better Mothers?

  this is a very good point pope

  The other argument the paper makes, is that the species is strengthened by having the genetic and/or cultural diversity of hetero- and homo-sexual individuals.

  Once again it doesnt really mean you are homosexualy just because you are "less-masculine" or more feminine, to me it would sound better if they said

  the species is strengthened by having the genetic and/or cultural diversity of "less-masculine" or more feminine individuals. (to me this doesnt mean someone is gay it just means they are less-masculine" or more feminine, thats not sexual at all).

  Ive gotta say though it is very interesting, great thread pope!
