salamanders whose eyes are not fully functioning use less food than those with fully functioning eyes, which burn more energy to produce retinal chemicals and electrical discharges.. it only makes sense then, that over the few thousand years since the noachian flood, that the salamanders stranded who inherited defective eyes (ie -that burned less food) would survive longer than those with good eyes that used energy anyway.. the non working eyes are an excellent example of the "vestigial organs" which the witchtower claims do not exist.. hb.

besides the folks walking with signs at each convention, what was your first taste of "apostasy"?
my first interesting experience happened within the kingdom hall.
my congregation in dallas (farmers branch) was in the same district as the bonham congregation which was about 70 miles northeast of dallas.. http://governingbodyletters.blogspot.com/2008/04/who-owns-kingdom-halls.html.
I believe there is a book by Reed about this.

3) what will happen to mankind when god's will is done on earth?
" (rev.
" however, "those hoping in jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth."--ps.
Thanks for the critic of the WT Blondie.The WT talks about the model prayer.."God's kingdom in heaven"
So why did God have Satan in Heaven since the beginning of mankind until 1914?What kind of corrupt Gov't was he running.Oh, I forgot the WT is not to swift when it comes the Bible knowledge.So heaven was in the power of Satan until 1914.

PS Q8..The DNA code(gnome) completed only a few years ago.Give it a hundred years and see what happens to health.
Q19 So who is killing and fighting wars?Long before 1914.silly WT/GB/FDS.
from all of my research so far on the 607 issue the only argument that jw's have for it is the 70 year period counting backwards from 537bce.
as 539bce is the accepted date for cyrus conquering babylon, why do they say 537bce is the date he released the jews and not 538bce or 536bce for instance?.
paul.
Who decides these calculations.Where do they get weeks=days=years. These people calculate the precise date of 1914 however, they DO NOT know when Jesus Christ was born.Prove it in the Bible.

it has been interesting for me to learn the various ways that the jws twist the scriptures to fit their own dogma.
(of course jws aren't alone in that, but that's another topic.
) two quick examples of jws not following or going beyond the bible are blood and birthdays.
Is a person who upholds bible principles a bad (association) person?

PS:I meant to say, association with Jehovah's Witnesses spoil useful habits.
What.s with the BIG green head in the bush on page three.

i never thought we'd be here.
after a long discussion last night, my wife now wants to know the 'other side of the story'.
what made me leave.
Maybe she wants some ammo for the Elders.

alright, so i'm reading on this site, and i'm not 100% sure what it's about.
it appears to be a bunch of former jw people bashing everything they can get their hands on in relation to jw's.. .
i was brought up as a jw, but when i got older and started to think for myself, i began to realize that i didn't agree with their teachings.
When I read the O/T of the Bible it's like todays News A whole lot of killing, corruption.The Head guy of the O/T Gov't was NOT a nice fellow.I do like what his Son had to say in the N/T.

or: "common responses to criticism, by active jehovah's witnesses", which i could also have called this topic.. .
-a video i just saw on youtube made by an active witness took me down memory lane a bit, and reminded me of how i used to think and respond to some common criticisms of the jws.
as i started writing this post, i had planned to put this person's thoughts point-by-point, but it turned out he was pretty much only covering one common critisism.
The R&F believe everything the GB say,because they are robots.When you program a computer it does what the programmers(GB) programmed into it.If the GB say shit smells good.The R&F would say isn't that a loving provision from the GB.
