  a pair of devout jehovah's witnesses have been ordered by a b.c.

  provincial court judge not to talk about religion in front of their four-year-old granddaughter.. the couple lost their bid for unsupervised access to the girl because they insisted on taking her to worship at their faith's kingdom hall despite the repeated objections of the child's mother.. the girl is identified only as a.w.

  my dad doesn't like the fact that i've come to accept the theory of evolution.

  he always accuses me of unquestioningly "buying into" what scientists say and says i don't apply critical thinking to the problem.

  so now i've decided to tackle his claim at the roots.

  2. beliefs

  http://www.quotes-watchtower.co.uk/vaccination.html.

  anyone not living under a rock has certainly heard of this ridiculous trend to not vaccinate children for various pseudoscientific bull**** reasons but not everyone knows that jehovah's witnesses used to be at the forefront of the movement.

  some of the quotes in the link i posted above are completely batsh** crazy, i encourage newbies to have a read through..

  How do flood apologists explain these?

  by marmot in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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?

  The best book on biblical archaeology I've ever read

  by marmot in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm referring to "the bible unearthed : archaeology's new vision of ancient isreal and the origin of its sacred texts" by israel finkelstein and neil asher silberman.

  i think it should be required reading for anyone who deigns to defend the historicity and literal interpretation of the bible.

  (i'm looking at you singlecell).

  i'm still on an old mailing list and got this recently "encouraging" me to make the pilgrimmage to mecca...i mean...bethel.

  i have nothing against the people who run the business, they're just trying to make a buck, but i'm soooo glad i'm out of that boring cult.. did you see the governing body's invitation?
