Again, what Jeremy England has to say about the matter is worth considering. I posted a link to the article.

Science still doesn't have the answers on how life first appeared
by EndofMysteries insince so many athiests in this thread, and since i'm going to college, i was curious if what i would learn in biology would change my thoughts and show that life clearly and easily spontaneously happened.
just looking up the origins of dna or rna there is nothing conclusive.
for example, scientists today are able to manipulate life.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates the change. For the record, I'm under 50. What I miss the most is seeing so many thread titles at once. Now I see two or three and have to scroll down to see maybe two more. Not a fan. -

New website headers redundant
by JimmyPage ini can't be the only one who finds the new headers on the website redundant and confusing.
seriously, one says "jehovah's witnesses: discuss anything watchtower or jw.org related" and the next one says "watchtower/jw.org: discuss anything watchtower or jw.org specific".

Every time the pope says something like this I can't help but think he's really an atheist having fun trolling the world.

Genuine repentance - if you can fake that you'll avoid getting disfellowshipped
by slimboyfat into paraphrase a well known saying.
is it true, in a judicial committee, if you can fake repentance, then they are likely to let you off being disfellowshipped, almost regardless of the "severity" of the sin involved?
can former elders and perhaps victims of the process shed light on the matter?

My wife felt guilty about our premarital fun and so we ended up in a judicial meeting. I read the elder's manual before I went so I knew exactly what they wanted to hear. My wife knew I didn't believe in "the truth" anymore so I think she was shocked that I wasn't disfellowshipped. She probably thought the holy spirit would kick in and expose me as an evil apostate but it never happened. I got a slap on the wrist and went on with my life.
