it is now thought that we have been interbreeding with neanderthals as early as 100,000 years ago.. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35595661.
craziest thing i just realized: some women still breed with neanderthals up to this day.
rihanna and chris brown anyone?.
Since humans were in Africa 'later', they must have been on other continents 'earlier'.
Clearly this proves that human migration started in the Garden of Eden, not in Africa
Really? To me it only "kind" of prove that the origins were not necessarily in Africa... the world is huge though and there are many other parts that could be taken into account. Check out the Bock Saga, similar to the bible but of Finnish origin, they claim humans came from the north!

on 01/09/2016 a jw driving an 18 wheeler trailer full of jw literature dies as a result of an accident.
the trailer departed from guatemala and heading to honduras to drop shipment.
a local elder is interviewed as he arrives on the scene.
In so many aspects Honduras honors its name: "Depths". Not only in this case, but overall it is like they keep getting deeper and deeper in calamities and problems. I am really sorry for the relatives.

one of the things that woke me up was a post on this board about a person who spliced a portion of the song "no god's, no masters" by arch enemy into a kingdom song at their hall.
this small bit opened up a world long forgotten from my youth.. before becoming a witness i was huge into death metal and some heavy metal ( loved metalica until they sold out with their black album) and as we know the wts forbids us to have freedom of choice when it comes to music, movies and many other things.
so now i full on love me some good old metal again!!
lve been researching the early days of the jw"s and found some very damning information which needs to be discussed at length.according to my research it is claimed that early founders used the pyramids to work out important biblical dates that are now dates set in stone according to the beliefs of the sect and can not be changed as it would rock the very foundation upon which their beliefs are built.l was hoping for somone with a precise understanding to please elaborate whether this is true or not.
I watched this recently and I could not help it but think that these people are over a 100 years in the past. I guess some theories die hard.
has anyone seen this?
when did that happen?.

the day i left it was pouring rain........i really screwed up, i found out the night before, as i was packing things up, that i had way under estimated how much stuff i had.
i had two large suit cases (that i could barely shut the lids on) and a large army duffel bag.
i would guess about 200 pounds of shit......my van was in rhode island with the engine out of it.
Hey New Boy, you have a very hypnotizing way of writing. I've read all your stories, and find them very interesting. I have no idea how many tours I was in in Brooklyn over the years. The picture from the outside was always one of a very special place and the eating opportunities were like, wow, sitting at god's table lol. It's nice to know the truth behind the curtains.
Thanks for sharing!

my strange bethel courtship started with me trying to meet mike stillman's sister, even though he worked in the ink room next to my elevator, we were not good friends, he was just a little to "country" for me........and on the self-righteous side too.
they say "there is nothing more dangerous in combat then a new guy with a map!
".........well, there was nothing more dangerous at bethel then a self-righteous new boy.. .
since i just signed up and posted a few times without doing this yet, here is my story..
i think that i became a jehovahs witness because of my immaturity.
i had some quirky personality traits, and i joined finding that i fit in because, as i said to myself: these people get me.
Hi David_Jay,
Loved the experience! What an amazing life lesson.
I just recently finished reading "The science Delusion" (US Title "Science Set Free") and it made me realize that, even though in a lot of aspects we've gotten to a point where practicality dictates that our momentary understanding of science works and might be on the right track, there is still so much that we still do not know, and only an attitude of "I only know that there is so much to learn" will take us beyond our wildest dreams as humans. On the other hand, if, as it often happens, we think we're the owners of the truth, we'll end up just being stuck.
Your OP made me think about that again and, not only that, showed me how to put the whole thing in practice in real life. Oh and I am going to start using this with my x-jw friends: "Hey, your jehovah's witness is showing" more often.
Thanks again for an excellent writing.
