i seriously ask this question in light of some ridiculous experiences i have had in recent times.
a while back,a freind of mine purchased a new home.
a housewarming party was planned for her.
r u resorting to calling me a liar via b.s., because your experience and those of others havent been the same as mine?
Liar? No. Apologist? Yes.
I am sure you are stretching things though. Tell me this, if they are so accepting of worldly people what would happen if you started dating a Catholic girl? Or an athiest? Would you still have your responsibilities? Would you not catch hell for it?

Oh...my...god. What is this, the middle ages?

You're joking, right? I was told several times that I was seen with worldly people and that would prevent me from "moving up" in the cong. The most I could do was carry the damn microphones.
This is typical of the JW mindset though, he's trying to justify actions by calling everything a "conscience" matter. Blood, voting, beards, worldly friends, oral sex, etc is all a "conscience" matter when talking to non-JWs, but inside the cong we all know how it is. Don't forget NYTelecom, everyone here used to be or still is a JW. We know what it's really like, we were all there. Don't try to BS your way through this one, it won't work.

That's very unusual. My dad was never a witness so other witnesses would NEVER come to our house. They felt it didn't have god's spirit on it since my dad was an unbeliever, and that they would lose god's protection if they were there.
I got busted several times for hanging out with worldly people. I am not sure what it's like in NY, but in my cong it was definately not allowed.
just wondering if anyone here has ever a supernatural experience.. whether it be seeing a ghost/angel/demon, ufo encounter.. etc..
Imagine the look on his face when his experiment flies up to the ceiling.
The theory of evolution for example is still just that, a theory. Not proven yet, however most all in the scientific community believe and use it as fact. How about you? You seem to love science so much, do you believe in the "theory" of evolution?
Ahh, actually the "theory" of evolution is called Natural Selection. It is an attempt to explain the "fact" of evolution, which is found in the fossil record, our biology and our DNA. Think of it this way:
The theory of gravity attempts to explain why stuff fall to the ground. The theory of gravity has changed, it used to be Newtonian and then it was replaced by Einsteinian physics. When this theory changed (more like an adjustment), things still behaved the same way. Stuff still fell to earth just like before, the planets still orbited the sun.
So yes, I believe that the current theory of evolution, or Natural Selection, is close to correct. It explains the evidence (which is that animals and plants change over time) that we see and makes successful predictions.

No, we actually understand magnetic forces very well. Gravity, well, not quite as much. Or I should say we understand it but not as well as with electric/magnetic forces.
Quantum theory has described them all nicely (except for gravity), and we have even found force carrying particles in accelerator labs. Very cool stuff.
Calling them forces has nothing to do with how well or not we understand them. Same for the field, gravitaional, magnetic, etc. It's just the way we describe them.

Uh no. Conspiracies like that don't exist. The nature of science and scientific discoveries prevent it. Look at how many "conspiracies" have been broken after a very short time (Watergate, Iran-Contra, the whole Paula Jones thing).
If it's such a great conspiracy that the government is trying to hide, why do you know about it? And if you can find out about it and post it on the internet what is keeping it down? It just doesn't work.
Simple by placing a small magnet over a small amount of liquid nitrogen, this method can be used to create some sort of device in that effect.
That's not 'anti-gravity' it's magnetic force holding up a piece of superconductor. It will only work with a supercondutor too. And it's hardly a secret. I did that in a class one time. There is nothing in it to do with gravity. It just creates a force up that is equal to gravity's force down, the same as if I were to pick it up and hold it in my hand.

Neko-
My guess is that it's a sham. The fact that it is not really embraced by mainstream physics or science folks would leave me to believe that it's not real.
If this were real and that easy to demonstrate somebody would have gotten a Noble prize for it. The way science works, someone would have made a lot of noise about this if it were a true, repeatable, demonstratable "effect."
i was raised a jehovah's witness all my life, though i don''t go any more, not till i fall on my head and not afraid to ask questions does this particular question come up.. what is gods name?.
people act as though everyone in the world speaks english, what about the third of the worlds population in china could it be that is his real name at this late date?
why do we assume that it has to be "jehovah" when it could just as easily be how they call it in china, or india, or arabia, or south america anywhere that there is a large population?.
Actually some documents have been found recently that have the correct pronunciantion. It's pronounced "Steve."
in the beginning, if there were only two humans and they had kids, how did the kids have kids if not through incest?
my question is this.
when did that become unexceptable?
However we aren't the only species that has a "taboo" of sorts against it. There are plenty of animals that will not under any circumstances breed or mate with their siblings. Some animals do, most don't. It's not a good idea evolutionarily speaking so for the most part it doesn't happen.
