  Science and Watchtower's astounding ignorance

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well these goof balls at jwbroadcast apparently think the study of pure science means not having any "practical application".

  oi vey.

  sanderson may speak russian but he is so ill educated he appears to think that researching a subject and formulating a theory about it means that's the end of it - in other words he's saying it has no practical use.

  What The Fossils Say

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower

  the old creation book had a lot to say about the fossil record.

  if i remember correctly it was some lie about all the fossils ever found would fit on a single table.

  the reality is that there is an embarrassment of riches illustrating the evolution of life.

  it was some lie about all the fossils ever found would fit on a single table.

  Just to say, the blue ‘Evolution‘ book stated it was all the human fossils ever found that would fit on a table, if I remember aright. Amazing though, isn’t it, how deeply imbedded that gumpf is entrenched in our head! It’s absolutely heartbreaking at the peak of my mental faculties I was “studying” that tripe.

  Westbilly1 Ive heard a lot of negative stuff about ’Darwin’s Doubts’. As far as I know the main thrust of his argument is the lack of an explanation for the Cambrian explosion . However it’s been pointed out in years past that the “explosion” is nothing of the sort and took place over hundreds of millions of years...a time span larger than that between us and the mega fauna we’ve seen on TV. I haven’t read the book, though I intend to.

  YOUNG PEOPLE ASK Should I Grow a Beard?

  ok, ok, so the actual title of the article released today on jw-org is "young people askshould i get a tattoo?

  ", but i thought i'd replace some words and phrases from the actual article, as follows:"regardless of the motive, you should think long and hard before deciding to have anything growing out of .

  your skin!

  Things could have gone the complete opposite way. Supposing Judge Rutherford lost his case and didn't become President of the WTB&TS and the 5 directors that Russell wanted to take over, did so. Today, we could very well find ourselves being pulled into the backroom and asked to read a few articles on the reasons why Christian men should grow a beard! Again this highlights how ridiculous the whole beard rule is. A man made rule within a high control religion!

  Not to mention the 5 ladies Russell appointed to be Watchtower trustees on the board of directors. Even from a religious point of view it is a business...nothing about women being business women in the bible. We would probably have female M.S, because pheobe was one in the bible (sorry my favourite soap box subject!!)

  • was under the impression that beards were allowed over there, due to the comments of some online and some JWs. I also saw a video from on YouTube of a witnessing cart handler with a beard. Maybe um thinking of another European country that allows beards?

    
    

  My best friends dad has always had a beard. And believe me, it is NOT neat 😂 He’s used for accounting and building and driving and advice and...just about everything except being an elder because he is modest and kind and does not want to go judging people. He also knocks spots off all other male JWs for brains.

  JW.org greater than the Bible now

  by eyeslice2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was a time when brooklyn bethel was emblazoned with the words; "read god's word the bible daily" but it seems to me now that even the bible has taken second place to jw.org.

  i remember having lots of studies using the 'truth' book.

  we asked the students in those days to prepare well and look up the scriptures in their own copy of the bible.

  The last time I set foot in a KH was a good 26 years ago.And I find it hard to comprehend how dumbed down the religion has become to what it was in the 60`s--80`s ,and befor

  It’s embarrassing. No one with an ounce of intelligence would take that year 4 stuff seriously.

  Does anyone remember?

  by dubstepped in

  2. experiences

  so back when the borganization took over the congregations and their money when "forgiving" the loans for the mortgages, i seem to remember there was a congregation that stood up to them.

  it didn't work, of course, but they caused quite a stir.

  does anyone remember what congregation it was or any details where i could search and find more about it on here?

  Search up Menlo park congregation.

  There was also another one who did the same. Can’t remember the name but if I find it I’ll let u know Mike.

  edit Texas yes, but wasn’t there one in New Mexico too or am I mistaken?

  Where you born after the year 2014 would be more reasonable. Quite a few kids born in that year would be able to make out a few words in that nutty sentence, and certainly know the numbers!
