Why do we say " I believe in evolution"?
by Anti-Christ in
1. jw
2. friends
i hear this and read this a lot, "i don't believe in evolution" or " this person does not believe in evolution".

when we say this we a perpetuating the myth that evolution is a belief, when in reality it is a fact.

we should say " this person does not accept evolution as a fact".

my wife's been having mental problems since hurting her back at work...we split for 8 weeks {her doing} then she rings me and says she "can't cope and is lonely" so i return {the drama continues} she seems more stable, sleeping all night...what a change!

her mood had become alittle more stable.

she found a part time job, and has not been dragged off by security like her last job...much improved though she dropped 10 kilos in weight.

Did Noah build a protoype of the ark?

was the ark the first boat ever built?

if so, that man noah must surely have had some faith in the critter that told him to build it.. the wise thing would surely to have built a small scale model just to be sure the thing was going to float.

but then i guess noah didn't have too many options otherwise.

Who's Got the Most Money??
by cameo-d in

i used to think it was the catholic church...perhaps whimsically based on perception.....just because they had the most elaborate cathedrals and were the oldest of religions.

but i think they have lost quite a bit of money with legal settlements and have lost a lot of membership over the past few years.. i wonder what the various religions are doing to make money?

surely they don't depend on tithes...that's a mere pittance.. big stock portfolios?

Is DISFELLOWSHIPPING being phased out?
by african GB Member in
1. jw

i have an elder friend who is 'open-minded', so to say...he tells me what gets discussed at elder meetings, even though he does'nt give too much detail.. he says that they were instructed by the society not to hurry df'ing publishers, that they should try to reproof (1 timothy 3: 16,17) a sinner,,..that they should be a little considerate bearingf in mind that we are living in critical times of the end.. .

personally i know a few publishers(baptized or not) who now have children out of wedlock, and they were just "marked" or had privileges taken away..... the reason given is: "they realised that they have sinned, and they are fully repented, they gave enough evidence to jc that they want to be known as jw's".

now my question is : are they slowly doing away with the df'ing doctrine?.

NOAH's Greatgrandpa Methuselah - Did He Drown or What?
by unclebruce in
1. jw
2. friends
according to my book of holy fables (gen 5:27), noah's greatgrandpa methuselah died aged 969 years, in the exact same year noah floated away to a damp new world in a box full of tame animals.

but the bible does not say that he was among those who died in the flood.. according to bible mathmatics, adam was alive when methuselah was born making methuselah the only human link between adam and noah.. so what happened to poor old methuselah?

did jehovah, out of respect, wait till the old boy carked it before having it piss down on the rest of humanity?

Conference call Sat. March 14-SPIES INFILTRATE THE ORG!
by the research lady in

2. scandals
the watchtower organization states in their book "pay attention to daniel's prophecy"!

on page 274 par.8 "yet others who seemed to accept the good news were really spies for the authorities".

a report from one land reads : "some of these unscrupulous characters were avowed communists who had crept into the lord's organization, made a great display of zeal, and had even been appointed to high positions of service.
