  God’s silence teaches more than what the “revealed scriptures” do!

  objective reading of scriptures can see many human thoughts in them.

  objective analysis of religions would show that they exist primarily for their own benefit.

  is science too travelling in the same direction?

  Perry if you are going to throw around random accusations about logical fallacies you need to do your homework first.

  This website will get you started...

  No logical fallacy at all. But you go on telling yourself that if it saves you from having to deal with facts.

  Please tell me again which books that present the scientific evidence for evolution you have read.

  No sensible scientist would comment on their commitment to "Darwinism". It is a description used by creationists.

  Every living thing evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years. This simple fact is beyond all sensible debate.

  2017 Circuit Assembly: Lesbians at school demonstration

  steve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?

  i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.

  note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.

  The outright dishonesty of saying we respect people's right to be gay, lesbian or smoke cigarettes but God doesn't respect them enough to let them live.

  God doesn't respect the right of the nice old hetrosexual couple who live next door to live when armageddon comes.

  There are libraries of discoveries that flat out contradict materialistic theories of origins

  There is literally zero evidence that contradicts evolution as the explanation of the diversity of life.

  Soft tissue in fossils does not in any way conflict with millions of years. In fact the best discovery of soft tissue in dino fossils was published just last week.
  

  Perry I have asked you many times to share which books that present the scientific evidence for evolution you have read. Clearly the answer is none.

  You reject an incontrovertible scientific fact purely because of its implications. it has nothing to do with evidence.

  The bible does condemn homosexual acts. The cult is predicated on following the bible.

  To be fair their official stance is more reasonable than many Evangelical churches. This is the best you can hope for when you organise your beliefs around an Iron Age book.

  It looks as if it could be authentic.

  It seems strange though that he is linking to a JW forum. I thought they were not approved. Also he links to another website that speculates that he has been removed from the GB. I suppose when you are GB nobody is going to tell you what you can't do.

  Why do you think "designers" are necessary? Who designed the "designers"?

  if you wouldn't ban them what, if any, changes would you force upon them?.

  No I wouldn't ban them.

  I would want to look at whether elders and MSs could be forced to hold enhanced DBS certificates. Even though they can argue they don't specifically work with u18s they do work with elderly and vulnerable adults.

  I would also want to remove their charitable status on the basis that their child welfare policies and procedures are not fit for purpose.
