because of the belief that the bible is quite literally the word god jws must shut out many logical concepts and theories.
it's not just evolution although that is a large one.
i know when i was in there were certain concepts that made sense to me but i would try not to think about them too much.
Some concepts which I really though about were;
Worldwide flood??? I mean so many things around the World prove otherwise.
Extraterrestrial life.
Blood policy
Evolution. When you here about fossils and certain other things found. Even things in humans like wisdom teeth, and how our jaw bone is ''supposedly gotten smaller over time''
so i went to the rc this past weekend and have a few observations:.
1 - use of videos - most parts had some sort of video prop.
they ranged from awkward (an example was on friday where they showed scenes of nature without a real purpose other than god made this) to very well done.

Thanks Doubting Bro,
I must have missed that part as I was just too lazy to sit there for that symposium, I had to get out for some fresh air in the parking lot, walk around or something.

Doubting Bro;
I'm just curious as to what day or when they had those parts at the Convention to men who were not MS or Elders. I can't recall hearing anything about that from our Convention.
it will be interesting to see what will happen with the "beloved" 501c3 tax exempt status which the churches hold so dearly onto.
the first-century christians met in homes.
they did not have exemption from taxes to the governments.
the implications of this could be more than one first realizes.
i do not know what it is about the monthly broadcasts that are making me feel they have watered down their message and talk at us like were stupid fools.
they prep each month for these broadcasts, why can't the gb speak on the level, not talking down at us like we are all infants?
the pitch, pace and tone of each monthly talk is weird, so there are many of us who can't handle watching this trash entirely.
my local cong just donated all money (4k +) on deposit with you know who to, you know who.
"since the society forgave all kingdom hall loans the boe felt it only appropriate to forgive the society of our loan to them.
" is exactly how it was presented to the r&f.
something i picked up on a few months ago is this: .
pick up any recent publication, find a picture where you can see someone's left hand... 95% of the time they will have a wedding ring on!
tell me if i am crazy or not haha.

yes, I watched it too!!
very, very influential video for children. I'd say between the ages of 4-12, this video is very moving, enticing.
As adults though, I say it's very disturbing to try to influence kids this way, almost sickening.
