  Re: Survey for US people: America is the best?

  for every person, there seem to be things they just don't understand.

  for me, it's nationalism in more than homeopathic doses.

  i wouldn't have expected to meet that much nationalism on an ex-jw board, but then, life holds many surprises.

  Genetic evidence for "macroevolution"?

  by fodeja in

  first genetic evidence uncovered of how major changes.

  in body shapes occurred during early animal evolution.

  biologists at the university of california, san diego have uncovered the first genetic evidence that explains how large-scale alterations to body plans were accomplished during the early evolution of animals.. in an advance online publication february 6 by nature of a paper scheduled to appear in nature, the scientists show how mutations in regulatory genes that guide the embryonic development of crustaceans and fruit flies allowed aquatic crustacean-like arthropods, with limbs on every segment of their bodies, to evolve 400 million years ago into a radically different body plan: the terrestrial six-legged insects.. the achievement is a landmark in evolutionary biology, not only because it shows how new animal body plans could arise from a simple genetic mutation, but because it effectively answers a major criticism creationists had long leveled against evolutionthe absence of a genetic mechanism that could permit animals to introduce radical new body designs.

  so that's florida for you then.. .

  inglis mayor carolyn risher said september 11 terror attacks inspired her to compose a proclamation banning satan from her town.

  inglis, florida (cnn) -- if he's thinking of visiting florida's west coast, satan might want to steer clear of inglis.. the mayor of this small fishing village in florida has declared the prince of darkness persona non grata -- in essence, telling him to go to the devil.. "satan, ruler of darkness, giver of evil, destroyer of what is good and just, is not now, nor ever again will be, a part of this town of inglis," mayor carolyn risher says in a proclamation, which was issued on official town stationery.. risher said the events of september 11 inspired her to pursue the proclamation, which the town commission supports.. "it gave me the inspiration that these people need to be ready if something like this was to happen to the town of inglis.

  hawkaw,.

  i've seen the scan of paul hoeffel's fax over at kent's website.

  if i understand it correctly, you created the scanned jpg and sent that file to kent and others.. i'd like to suggest something to improve the credibility of this thing - namely, to create a higher quality jpg from the original document.

  Georgia and persecution of minority religions

  by fodeja in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there's a reference to a news story on the main page [1] concerning attacks against various religious groups in georgia.

  an excerpt, emphasis mine:.

  more than 40 attacks have taken place this year; more than 80 violent incidents have been reported since 1999. the memorandum, based on first hand interviews with victims, documents ten of the attacks that have taken place in 2001. the assailants, civilian militants who are sometimes led by orthodox priests, have meted out beatings, ransacked homes, and destroyed religious literature.

  from http://www.greatcrowd.com/159ubb/forum22/html/000167.html.

  he gave us some statistics about how much the occurrences of random violence have escalated over the recent years, and it's terrible.

  something like 99% of us will be exposed to, or become a victim of a violent crime.
