Dunno about Scotland - maybe they put on a kilt and dance round swords!
They are called a 'ceilidh' - pronounced 'kay-lay'.
Great fun but no swords.

Active witnesses? Please help?
by Ahava inhi,i'm lost and a little sad.
i actually like the jw faith.
some might call this faith cold, strict, dogmatic but they're just trying to follow rules and give back to god.

Creation: Science has glossed over how consciousness and life entered the universe, that's a pretty big thing to miss but everything has it's limits.
Actually it has done no such thing. Progress in the field of abiogenesis is very exciting. The most promising ideas are coming out of bioenergetics. Would you like me ot suggest some reading material?
JWs are required to submit to the incredibly stupid dogma that humans have only been on earth for just over 6000 years. That is jaw-droppingly ignorant!
Humans evolved from non-human ancestors over millions of years. This much is beyond sensible dispute. How many books would you like me to suggest on this topic?
Here are forty bits of evidence just to get you started...
By the way the WT brochures on creation are woefully dumb and dishonest in equal measure.

Job 26:7 “Earth is hanged upon nothing”—proof of inspiration?
by Ireneus injws has been saying bible is authored by god because job 26:7 says: “earth is being hanged upon nothing.” and this verse in combination with isaiah 40:22 which says “god resides above the circle of earth” implies that earth is spherical and remains unsupported from above or from beneath.
thus, bible contains the knowledge which science confirmed later.. however, recent understanding of science is that the whole visible part of the universe is only 4%, and the visible exists because of the invisible 96%-- “dark matter 26%” and “dark energy 70%”--which is a fifth and previously unknown type of fundamental force called quintessence, which fills the universe like a fluid serving as a support to the visible universe.

The political left, perfectly captured in one short video exchange
by Simon inthis perfectly encapsulates the behaviour and opinions of the left and dave rubin nails it - "you're not oppressed, you're entitled".. lots of of shouting and claims of being denied rights to speak but nothing really to say when given a mic, just endless shouting and baseless confused claims about 'free speech'.
hey, some blm bitches try and get in on it too because, why not.. constant "i have a question, i have a question ..." as though she isn't allowed to ask it when the reality is she really has nothing to say, she just wants to stop other people being able to talk.
what a stupid cunt.. sadly, the left is indoctrinating a generation to think that *this* is what political discourse and "taking a stand" is.

@cofty - I haven't read Cohen's book - I'll have to buy it.
It's very good. Cohen is the Left's 'apostate'.

Nick Cohen wrote a whole book about it. It's called What's Left?
Excellent book. Chapter six is a brilliant critique of Noam Chomsky.
The radical Left can only exist in opposition, they are totally vacuous.

Heb. 1:2-3 Proof we should worship Jesus?
by NikL injw.org believes that jesus is not god but a separate entity.
let's go with that for the time being.
in the referenced scriptures the writer of hebrews says that jesus "sustains all things by the word of his power" and has been "appointed heir of all things".
