  Awake January 2015: How did life begin? - More misquotes

  by Designer Stubble in

  2. bible

  [quote]some might assume that a scientifically-minded person would pick evolution and that a religious person would pick creation.

  but not always.. rama singh, professor of biology at canadas mcmaster university, says: the opposition to evolution goes beyond religious fundamentalism and includes a great many people from educated sections of the population.[/quote].

  hello forum,.

  i'm new here and not sure where to post.

  so, i'm 21 years old and currently a baptized witness, however, i'm slowly making my mind up to leave and here's why.. first, there are certain things that make no sense to me in the organization.

  All those saying he shouldn't DA but fade, are we assuming he has family in he?   

  Anyway Garrett, if you DA, just expect never to really be able to talk to those who are in again. If you don't have family in or anybody you care to keep in contact with, then by all means DA or just don't show up again.

  The GB will release 'new light'.  "Recently new light has revealed that the governing body alone are the faithful slave, and were we not appreciate for the governing body having shared this new light? The trumpets of truth have shone more new light! Evidently, since the faithful slave is entrusted with all his master belongings, the faithful slave is actually the representation of the master, and as such, the faithful slave is to be worshiped as the master would be, because in worshiping the faithful slave, one is in actuality worshiping the master. From here on, all talks will be televised from the GB directly worldwide.  All chairs will be removed from the kingdomhalls and replaced with prayer rugs. Everyone will bow low in worship to the governing body as they take in the divine teachings from the master himself through the faithful slave, the governing body.

  How could it be hard for them to be accurate? WT keeps records just like the nazi's did.  They probably know the name of each publisher who didn't get in their hours for each month during WW2 somewhere in their vaults.

  I agree w/ snare. Especially if most don't know about snippets and the adjustments that can be made. 

  If not then it should default to title only like the old format and default to 20 topics. (from my experience until I asked and simon told me that, it was too much information and work to screen topics for me). 

  I think too that the right bar is too big. It's 1/2 page and when in a topic or looking at topics, I for one never look at or use the right side.  Unless somebody is told, most probably won't figure out 'snippets' either.  But it makes the message board seem very crowded and squeezed into 1/2 page, and if scrolled to the top of the page, the threads and message board are almost squeezed into 1/4 of the whole page in the lower left corner.  

  I'm recently going back on more, but for awhile it just felt 'tiring', having to read a lot for each topic vs just titles until I figured out snippets, and all menu bars and ads with huge fonts and space and the message board feeling crammed into a tiny area, only way I could describe is tiring.  

  Last thing, this won't keep me from posting or coming back, but thread views was a 'fun' factor and at times I'm more likely to post if I notice it's a hot topic with onlookers.  Since that was removed, now we have no idea if a topic is viewed by only those participating or thousands of lurkers too.

  Somebody should make the real version to this song.  Scenes of judicial committees, seniors struggling because of not saving for retirement, children and parents being shunned by their families, ones being turned down for any living wages for having no college education, turning down all invitations for anything remotely fun for field circus, elderly parents/grandparents being tossed to the side so the younger family can do field circus, etc.

  Science still doesn't have the answers on how life first appeared

  by EndofMysteries in

  since so many athiests in this thread, and since i'm going to college, i was curious if what i would learn in biology would change my thoughts and show that life clearly and easily spontaneously happened.

  just looking up the origins of dna or rna there is nothing conclusive.

  for example, scientists today are able to manipulate life.

  So, anyway, there is no requirement of science to test every possible idea. A person may choose to go that route, but it is certainly not part of the scientific method. 

  
  

  So Viviane, in Turkey there are these ancient ruins that have been uncovered, the Gobekli Tepe.  Now why is it people are assuming that humans made them?  Why aren't scientists coming up with theories on how natural processes made it?  A bunch of earthquakes and things could have caused the stones to get carved up, and then landshift and earthquakes cause them to get filled up and buried, etc.  

  Anyway, how life first began, that is life on this planet, looking into intelligent life vs random as part of all possibilities then your claim that then one must look at a rhino made of pigs is a ridiculous comparison. One would consider the possiblity where any sort of intelligent life is responsible for life on this planet, whether biological alien scientists, God, a rhino of pigs, etc.  Before specifics of how many broad possibilities for how life began.  1. Random from chemicals and conditions of 3.5 billion years ago and it all began on this planet.  2. Remnants from another planet/world/solar system/galaxy (water) got to this planet and started the cycle. 3. Biological intelligent life started it. 4. Life that is not biological or beyond what we know began it. etc.etc. 

  Anyway the scientific process doesn't mean that all hypothesis that life originates on this planet and by random chance and that is the only possibility that is considered and investigated.  If that is what you believe then your as close minded as you were when you were a JW.
