spear points dating to thousands of years before the flood (or even adam's alleged creation, for that matter) found preserved in situ among mammoth bones in naco, arizona.. or the 14,000 year-old footprint of a child at a mammoth hunting camp unearthed in a bog in monte verde, chile:.
the kicker is that this isn't even the oldest evidence for human settlement of the americas.
since the wt loves to trot out frozen mammoth carcasses as "proof" that mammoths died in the flood, who were these mammoth eaters in north america?
I used to think that way too, sort of like if god was a baker he didn't magically make a fully formed loaf of bread out of thin air but used time, heat and ingredients.
Of course, once you go down this path you have to completely dismiss the bible as being the word of god because man didn't magically appear on earth fully formed just 6,000 years ago.
So you either join another equally silly religion or you become an unaffiliated deist or (like me) you join the dreaded atheist camp.

so i started dating on the internet in june and have met some nice guys.
i have put in a few recent posts that i have a boyfriend and wanted to give an update.
things haven't worked out sadly.. i was seeing him for a couple of months we were having fun and then things tailed off after christmas.
i've always been a "spiritual" person.
i've been an avid bible reader since as early as i can remember.
i read the bible cover to cover for the first time when i was about 17 years old and have read it at least twice more since then.
It's scary that's for sure. Nobody can tell you what to do and it looks like you've already fallen down the rabbit hole in terms of discovering that the foundations for your faith are worthless, just be prepared for heartache either way. If you stay you'll be eaten away on the inside and if you leave you'll lose all your friends and maybe family.
Do what you feel you need to, I was in your shoes once and I just quit everything at once. The elders turned up once or twice but couldn't be bothered to even disfellowship me. I put everything behind me and moved on with my life, your results may vary.

The kicker is that this isn't even the oldest evidence for human settlement of the Americas. Since the WT loves to trot out frozen mammoth carcasses as "proof" that mammoths died in the flood, who were these mammoth eaters in North America? Were they killed in the flood? Did Noah's "preaching" work extend to North and South America? Is the book of Genesis really bullshit?
in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).
house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.
I'm a Netflix documentary freak. God Loves Uganda and Waiting for Armageddon are two cringe-worthy ones for an ex-jw viewer. I also loved all the PBS Front line documentaries as well as the Cosmos miniseries with Neil de Grasse Tyson. I actually got my JW mom to watch the first couple episodes, hopefully a grain of curiosity was planted.
As for movies, I loved Red State, Oldboy (the Korean original, not that crappy Hollywood remake) and Hara-Kiri.
this week's book study contains this gem:.
the way in which the bible is written serves to test what is in our heart.
hebrews 4:12 says: the word [or, message] of god is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit .
does anyone remember an old co from the 1970's by the name of michele sinapi?
i believe he was from montreal
when i was in my teens i wanted a room of my own, but i lived with my grandparents whose house was very small.. my uncle had been living in a little one room bed-sitter way out in the backyard.
he married and moved away and i moved in.. it was quite isolated and the ceiling was six feet from the floor.
unfortunately, the top of my head was four inches higher than that!
I'm pissed off with the WT because it made me miss out on some really awesome music for the first half of my life. When I was just starting school one of my friends would bring mix tapes of AC/DC, Iron Maiden, etc. and would wear the band T-shirts replete with skulls and monsters. Being the little witness indoctrinated child that I was I would actually HALLUCINATE DEMONS GETTING ON THE SCHOOLBUS while the mix tapes were playing and I would go home and cry to my mother afterwards.
I'm now a huge metal fan and can only shake my head in embarrassment at those memories.
