Also an entire book, great as it might be, isn't a handy and easily-referenced summary.

New Statesman: famous atheists explain why they don't believe in God...what is Hawking saying?
by unshackled inhttp://www.newstatesman.com/religion/2011/07/god-evidence-believe-world.
found this new statesman article linked in a sam harris tweet.
it is a collection of comments on reasons for non-belief from such ones as richard dawkins, daniel dennett, sam harris, jerry coyne and stephen hawking...to name a few.. what caught my eye about the tweet was this comment by harris, his actual tweet:.

I would prefer we keep this thread on topic but I have little doubt that it is going to end up being all about Shelby.

Should cult members be allowed to adopt or be foster parents?
by Mad Sweeney ini'm wondering what you all think..

Because of blood issue alone,,I think most agencies will not accept JWs as good candidates for this.
That's what I would think but I know JDubs who have adopted successfully and others who are foster parents. Band on the Run shared an example of lazy JWs who could work but would rather take in our tax money for sheltering and attempting to indoctrinate the youth of our society.
Raising a child in a cult is emotional and psychological abuse.
Letting them die rather than get a blood transfusion is murder, IMO.
I love ProdigalSon's comment. They shouldn't be allowed to breed their own kids. It would be comical if not so sad and true.

I think he's saying that science and faith are two different models - faith being based on human behavior (which somehow he manages to exclude from science), and therefore science does not address the "God" issue.

I didn't want this to have to become a discussion on "what is a cult?" We've had those. I figured this is JWN and everyone knows than "cult" = JWs.
My bad for not being specific enough.
Should Jehovah's Witnesses be allowed to adopt or be foster parents?

I just noticed I didn't post a subject line. That's what I get for multitasking. Sorry about that. Thanks for pointing it out and thanks for the bump!

What is needed now is a short summary that answers the questions raised in the Watchtower and also addresses the claims they make concerning the historical evidence.
Word. On an earlier page of this thread someone posted the picture/diagram/chart kings list from the Watchtower with the dates photoshopped into place.
A summary of the data collected here and how it connects to the article would be awesome.

Why is the Youth book not on Watchtower Library?!
by cedars ini realise this question may have been asked before, so please point me in the right direction if it has.. i've been aware for some time that the youth book isn't on the watchtower library cd-rom.
until now i've never questioned why, because i've assumed that this is simply due to the fact that it was "superseded" by the ypa book.
however, i've noticed that other books that were "superseded" are still on the cd-rom - for example, the old song book, the old school guidebook, the old family life book etc.. i remember my parents studying the red book your youth - getting the best out of it with me as a child.

I've been aware for some time that the Youth book isn't on the Watchtower Library CD-ROM.
How did you come by this awareness?
It is on the CD-ROM. Always has been. Both YPA books and the Your Youth-Getting the Best Out Of It are on the CD-ROM.
I'm looking at it right now.
