  2. experiences

  i went to the sixscreens site to see if rick had posted any new conference calls, but the last one was from the 7th of may.

  did he stop them?

  was it the johnny "the bethelite" fiasco that put a stop to it all?

  Microevolution vs Macroevolution (NOT an evolution vs creation debate)

  by pirata in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've heard the distinction between microevolution and macroevolution a lot, especially from intelligent design arguments.

  microevolution being defined as changes or adaption within a species, and macroevolution being changes from one species to another.

  my impression is that there really is no such meaningfule distinction between macro and micro in the modern scientific sense of evolutionary theory.

  After Exiting the Witnesses - Are you O.K. Not Knowing about the Future ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems that religion has always been considered the opium of the people.

  or at least many tend to gravitate towards religion to have or solidify some sort of future with a supreme being overlooking them hoping to have a reward either in heaven or in the jehovah's witnesses case - living forever in a " paradise earth ".

  it seems that people can't just live day to day and let each day come to them with whatever happens.

  When did this forum go apostate?

  by B_Deserter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was curious because i had heard simon was a jw when he started this forum.

  i was looking through the old posts, but couldn't really pinpoint one that was a "turning point" so-to-speak.

  simon must have left the j-dubs at some point.

  Most Overblown Examples Used at Assemblies

  by What Now? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a recent assembly, there was a talk highlighting the dangers of higher education.

  the brother used an example of a young girl who went to university, began going to bars, and ended up getting drugged and gang raped - as if this happens to every young jw who chooses to get higher education.. .

  what ridiculous examples have you heard used at meetings or assemblies?.

  my apologies for the weird speech.

  sometimes xtranormal decides to pronounce words differently at random times.
