  Will the evolutionists save us from the coming catastrophe?

  the earth's magnetic field is in a weakening stage right now.

  data collected this summer by a european space agency (esa) satellite suggests the field is weakening 10 times faster than scientists originally thought.

  if the magnetic field weakens enough, then the earth could be hit with dangerous amounts of solar radiation and cosmic rays .....

  The Future Squad has assembled a team of top magneticists to address the declining magnetic field. Despite many obstacles, the team has tested and are ready to deploy a deep mantle resonator that can charge the outer core with ions and supercharge the global magnetic flux.

  New Zealand's best product, takes a few drops of p*ss out of Dolly Parton

  by fulltimestudent in

  being a bit focussed on keeping up with what the comrades are doing in china, i've been missing out what the topp twins are doing in new zealand.

  well actually, i was checking a serious essay in a quite serious chinese journal, and suddenly there's a reference to the topp twins.

  i did a double take, but then realised that we live in a connected world and you can no longer confine knowledge to any geographical site.. so meet my new discovery, new zealands own- the topp twins:.

  The Topp twins are admirable good singers and all, deserving of credit, however, to compare them to Dolly Parton in any fashion is unfair to them. There's no way to put this delicately. Dolly Parton's claim on fame mostly rests on her being top heavy, something the Topp twins simply do not measure up to in that manner.

  UNDERSTANDING WHY THE ORGANIZATION is a false idol and a BLASPHEMY

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do we understand these three words: worship, idolatry, and blasphemy?.

  most christians have a vague notion of worship, idolatry, and blasphemy already, but.

  a clear definition is necessary.. we must take care to differentiate, however.. how the words appear in original language and how they are defined today might be at odds.. ____________________.

  If the organization is "Mother", then her children are bastards because she is not married.

  Amazing.

  There has always been a cottage industry for book bags and other JW swag.

  But with the company doing this commercialism, it goes way over the top.

  can an unhappy married woman vent?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i continue to be saddened by the fact that i am married to such a selfish man.. i want to know if i am the only wife who has no say when it comes to using the house she lives in for activities including other people.. .

  let me explain.. yesterday my daugher who is 35 got a new puppy for my grandaughter who is 13. today my daughter and son in law are going to help my uncle at a job, and my granddaughter wanted to spend the day here, my daugher said shed bring her and the puppy over, i laughed and said 'your dad wont have that, ill have to go to your house'.. after all it will 'upset' the 2 cats they will hide all day [like they do anytime someone including my grandchild is in my home] .. i already knew that he would not like it if she brought the puppy over, [weve had dogs so its not like he hates them].

  he doesnt care if his grandaughter would have enjoyed playing with the puppy over grandmas house, where she likes to be for a change, and that fact that id like to see what my cats would do when they saw a dog for the first time in thier lives.. maybe id have liked to play with the puppy .. when i said to my husband that my daughter said she wanted tp bring them over he said.

  You are a tenant who lives in a nice big house, rent free. Your husband is paying all the bills, and rightfully asserts his say over what goes on in his home. This includes not letting your drama prone layabout relatives come and mooch off of him "for just a little while" that turns into years. In all those years of easy life letting someone you don't love pay your bills, you never made a viable plan to change your situation. It looks like you set yourself up for this. How sad.

  Origin of Black Skin - JW.org Noah Movie

  by Bloody Hotdogs! in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've never seen this discussed here, so thought i'd bring it up:.

  as far as i can figure, jehovah's witnesses no longer teach that black skin is the result of a curse from god.

  instead, they seem to teach that canaan was already dark skinned when his father, ham, brought the curse of servitude upon their family.
