out now.. yes, yes, yessssss!
on p. 26-27 they talk about how the lunar positions on vat 4956 fit 588/7 bce!!!.
"clearly, much of the astronomical data in vat 4956 fits the year 588 b.c.e.
Thank you VERY MUCH Alleymom ! (and you too Doug). By the way, I have been informed that your rebutal has also been translated in Italian by Achille
You are our transnational experts !
(May I ask you, Alleymom, a copy of the book cover, please ? Proving that's really coming from the book quoted by the WT. Thanks. It's not for me but for skeptics JW...)
out now.. yes, yes, yessssss!

Thank you very much Alleymom. I have translated your quick rebutal in French and the answer of Dr John Steele (I hope Doug that you won't mind about the using of your picture made earlier. On the other hand, I'm promoting your website ;-).

Alleymom: great rebutal !
But would it be possible to have a copy of the pages of Nabonidus and Belshazzar proving your argument ? (a picture proof)
The page 10 and the charts ?
Thank you.
the new issue of the witchtower is available for download now.. .
what does the future hold for the dog class?
who are the "dogs" that are shepherding the "other sheep"?.
Awesome ! Would it be possible to have the original format for a translation ? What programs do you use ?
hi xxxx,.
to tell you the truth, i feel very deceived from the way the organization has been acting in the last years.. .

Hey Nick !
If you speak French, you'll like my new video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-yP32_03Og
A bientôt ;-)
i recently completed making this video:.
the origin of life.
it's a quick look at the watchtower's new brochure.
I recently published on YouTube this video in French
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-yP32_03Og
Inspired by the great work of Sheperd Book, I thought it was the perfect model for relevant critics on the Web 2.0
A lot of French JW doesn't read or understand English, so I spent a week to translate the video (choosing 70% of the claims) and added 5 minutes of other critical analysis.
Very good reception for the moment.
Thanks again Sheperd Book for your idea !!! I think to use it for the second brochure Was Life Created?
Cheers !!!
i looked through your posts but couldn't find your life story.
have you written it?.
i would love to read your progression from/through jw to avid scholar :).
Great story.
We share the same feelings :
(e.g. giving up simply childish pleasures like birthdays and holidays, having to preach as a young kid, being teased for being a JW and doing things I hated, wearing those awful uncomfortable clothes to boring meetings three times a week, being told I couldn't learn to believe certain things as my mind matured, being discouraged from education, feeling like I couldn't plan for my life and that the world was coming to an end soon, fearing my non-JW family would soon be killed by God, etc.).
My opinion today: Religion = Pornography. Not under 18 years old !!! Be human ! Let the choice to your kids !
hi guys !.
would it be possible to have the new brochure was life created in pdf, please?
the link given on the forum is broken.. thanks.
The quote : In 1999, evolutionary theorist Jeffrey H. Schwartz wrote that natural selection may be helping species adapt to the changing demands of existence, but it is not creating anything new. Source : Sudden Origins—Fossils, Genes, and the Emergence of Species, by Jeffrey H. Schwartz, 1999, pp. 317-320
Fact :
In criticizing Darwin, Dr. Schwartz does not dispute his theory that humans, animals and plants evolved from other species. In fact, one of his books, "The Red Ape," argues that orangutans, not chimpanzees, are the closest evolutionary relatives of human beings.
He does take issue with two key parts of traditional Darwinian thinking, though -- gradualism and adaptation.

The quote p21: Reference 26 : Decades ago, evolutionary biologist George Christopher Williams began questioning whether natural selection had such power - Adaption and Natural Selection, by George C. Williams, 1966, p. 54
Fact : In 1966,Williams’ book Adaptation and Natural Selection set a new standard for evolutionary studies and focused research at the level of the gene [9]. The influence of this book would be difficult to overestimate. The trend towards the molecularization of biology had been underway for
more than a decade before the book was published, but Williams’ sweeping critique of group selection theory marked the beginning of a new age of genic selection. The basic idea of the age of genic selection was simply that natural selection is always, or for the most part, selection for and against single genes [10]. Of course, this position was not universally accepted. Ernst Mayr had maintained since the early 1960s that although natural selection had an effect on gene frequencies, it was not necessarily the case that natural selection is selection for or against particular genes.
Over the past ten years there has been a reassessment of the models and data that led to the earlier categorical rejection of group selection. There has also been a wider application of multilevel selection theory. Indeed, many of the strongest critics of group selection have come to embrace multilevel analysis. Williams has come to accept the existence of group selection and its role in evolutionary processes, particularly with regard to the evolution of sex. Indeed, in the preface to the 1996 reissue of Adaptation and Natural Selection he wrote: ‘Even without its producing biotic adaptation, group selection can still have an important role in the evolution of the Earth’s biota’ (Source : http://www.nbb.cornell.edu/wkoenig/wicker/NB4340/Borrello%202005.pdf )
The quote :
Myth 1. Mutations provide the raw materials needed to create new species. The teaching of macroevolution is built on the claim that mutations —random changes in the genetic code of plants and animals—can produce not only new species but also entirely new families of plants and animals."
Reference 19 : Nobel Lectures, Physiology or Medicine 1942-1962,1999, "The Production of Mutations," by H. J. Muller, 1946, p. 162.
Fact: An overused quote : Muller and mutations (http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/quotes/muller.html)
