i thought i'd share since i figured some on this forum would be interested being that the same topic has been debated numerous times here.

i wish i was able to see it but i'm assuming i'll be able to catch it on youtube or transcripts.
This was more a debate about the "young earth" belief system rather than a debate about creation...I felt neither made their point regarding creation, be it intelligent design or random event. Nye spent too much time expressing disappointment in Ham's "new earth" belief, and Ham side-stepped Nye's questions regarding apparent discrepancies in the Flood account, etc..
I felt like I lost an hour of my life I will never get back!
this is a very interesting documentary...the similarities are so close, you could substitute jw for amish!

They are extreme, but the emotions and sense of loss expressed by ex-members is nearly identical to that suffered by many JW's...

So, personal study and Bible reading fall way behind the Watchtower Study on the spiritual charging meter...interesting.

Life has been happy
Old friends still in, a miserable lot
Don't really look back
Just wish the wasted time I had not
...at least that's what the sunday study said:.
"at the same time, we need to understand that our salvation is not jesus' primary concern.
his main purpose from the beginning to the end of his earthly ministry was to work for the sanctification and glory of his father's name".
Interesting observation, but no real surprise...Jesus is always put in the backseat when it comes to purpose and position.
saving mr. banks is not about mary poppins exactly, not the one we know.
in this movie we come to see who she was to the author through flashbacks that become so entwined with the adult author, a bitter and negative woman, that mary p.'s purpose becomes clear at last and not the disney factory model.
if you haven't seen it, a speech disney gives to her is phenominal in my opinion.
I am glad I went to see American Hustle instead!...now that was an amazing bit of film making!
version 1. john denver at his concert asks "if there are any jehovah's witnesses in the audience can you please leave.".

Violia...where was this John Denver concert?
These rumors have gone around among JW's for years...I would think that if these things really happened, there would be some video or third party (non JW) verification of the events. I can find none, so for now, I choose to view them as JW urban myths.
