Rutherford another sincere believer so misunderstood? I get tired all over
just thinking about it. Russell, even, let alone Rutherford.

Rutherford's Hitler Letter - An Alternate History
by cappytan inif you're unaware of the letter tinged with anti-semitism and offering tacit approval that rutherford wrote to hitler, see this article on jwfacts.. so, we all know the witnesses were persecuted quite a bit during the war years.
i personally had family that was in jail with brother schroder in the 40's for the crime of "peddling.
i'm an agnostic fader, however i still think the mob violence against the witnesses was deplorable.

Did judge Rutherford piss off Hitler
by greenhornet inthe jws at the time in germany where considered part of the aryan race, (since they were not jews).
then things changed for the jws after rutherford mailed a letter to hitler bragging about jehovahs kingdom on earth.. so can we add this to the bloodshed that that the watchtower corp is responsible for?.

I made a timeline of Russell, Rutherford, etc., and secular leaders at the
next link. Rutherford was notorious for having JWs provoke for headlines for
his sales then, always, claim persecution.
http://glenster1.webs.com/gtjbrooklyn6.htmRutherford, failing to get special approval from Hitler, threatened to bring
him down (from his US home) by sending unarmed JWs through Germany to reveal
the truth about him. After that JWs started appearing in prison camps.Hitler was an a-hole, but would anyone want Rutherford in charge of doing that
to them? Rutherford just stepped up his usual venom for any leaders--including
Allied leaders--as deserving to fall. The history of the JWs leaders' peddling
of antisemitism deserves attention, too. -

Chemists claim to have solved riddle of how life began on Earth
by glenster in(phys.org)a team of chemists working at the mrc laboratory of molecular biology, at cambridge in the uk believes they have solved the mystery of how it was possible for life to begin on earth over four billion years ago.
in their paper published in the journal nature chemistry, the team describes how they were able to map reactions that produced two and three-carbon sugars, amino acids, ribonucleotides and glycerolthe material necessary for metabolism and for creating the building blocks of proteins and ribonucleic acid molecules and also for allowing for the creation of lipids that form cell membranes.. scientists have debated for years the various possibilities that could have led to life evolving on earth, and the arguments have only grown more heated in recent years as many have suggested that it did not happen here it all, instead, it was brought to us from comets or some other celestial body.
most of the recent debate has found scientists in one of three chicken-or-the-egg first camps: rna world advocates, metabolism-first supporters and those who believe that cell membranes must have developed first.

(Phys.org)—A team of chemists working at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, at Cambridge in the UK believes they have solved the mystery of how it was possible for life to begin on Earth over four billion years ago. In their paper published in the journal Nature Chemistry, the team describes how they were able to map reactions that produced two and three-carbon sugars, amino acids, ribonucleotides and glycerol—the material necessary for metabolism and for creating the building blocks of proteins and ribonucleic acid molecules and also for allowing for the creation of lipids that form cell membranes.
Scientists have debated for years the various possibilities that could have led to life evolving on Earth, and the arguments have only grown more heated in recent years as many have suggested that it did not happen here it all, instead, it was brought to us from comets or some other celestial body. Most of the recent debate has found scientists in one of three chicken-or-the-egg first camps: RNA world advocates, metabolism-first supporters and those who believe that cell membranes must have developed first.
The chemists with this new effort believe they have found a way to show that all three arguments are both right and wrong—they believe they have found a way to show that everything necessary for life to evolve could have done so from just hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen cyanide and ultraviolet light and that those building blocks could have all existed at the same time—in their paper, they report that using just those three basic ingredients they were able to produce more than 50 nucleic acids—precursors to DNA and RNA molecules. They note that early meteorites carried with them ingredients that would react with nitrogen already in the atmosphere, producing a lot of hydrogen cyanide. By dissolving in water, it could have very easily come into contact with hydrogen sulfide, while being exposed to ultraviolet light from the sun. And that, they claim, would have been all that was needed to get things going.
The findings by the team are sure to garner a great deal of interest in the scientific community and others will no doubt be testing and commenting on their findings. If what they claim passes muster, their work will likely be remembered as one of the great achievements of our time.

Abstract
A minimal cell can be thought of as comprising informational, compartment-forming and metabolic subsystems. To imagine the abiotic assembly of such an overall system, however, places great demands on hypothetical prebiotic chemistry. The perceived differences and incompatibilities between these subsystems have led to the widely held assumption that one or other subsystem must have preceded the others. Here we experimentally investigate the validity of this assumption by examining the assembly of various biomolecular building blocks from prebiotically plausible intermediates and one-carbon feedstock molecules. We show that precursors of ribonucleotides, amino acids and lipids can all be derived by the reductive homologation of hydrogen cyanide and some of its derivatives, and thus that all the cellular subsystems could have arisen simultaneously through common chemistry. The key reaction steps are driven by ultraviolet light, use hydrogen sulfide as the reductant and can be accelerated by Cu(I)–Cu(II) photoredox cycling.http://phys.org/news/2015-03-chemists-riddle-life-began-earth.html

You need Displayport 1.3 (and a powerful GPU or two) for a high refresh rate
with a 4K version. And a couple moneybags wouldn't hurt. It might pay to wait
a bit for prices to come down and new GPUs to come out. -

Inherit the wind
by truthseeker100 inhas anyone seen the movie inherit the wind?
i just got done watching the 1999 remake of the original 1960.. it's about two lawyers arguing in court about the guilt or innocence of a school teacher, teaching evolution.. it's about as pertinent today as it was in 1999 or 1960. it's really a good movie.
