Her disrespect for her opponent was a disgrace. Arrogant, entitled drama-queen.

It reminded me of Willy Russell's Educating Rita. That scene in the pub after she's been studying Shakespeare and she thinks Lady Macbeth is a cow. Her husband and family are having fun in the pub and she just feels lost. - xant
One of the most poignant scenes in any film ever.

Evolution is a Fact #39 - Homologous Structures
by cofty inevery living thing descended from a common ancestor over millions of years.
this is the central fact that the theory of evolution explains.
house sparrows and tree sparrows only need to go back relatively few generations to find their common ancestor, while trout and tigers must search much closer to the roots of the tree for theirs.. darwin sketched this idea of common ancestry along with the words "i think" in one of his notebooks.

You illustrate my point.
Absolutely EVERYTHING we know about biology is predicated on evolution.

Hooby - I really wish you would try to learn the basics of biology before you attempt to demolish it.
I'm busy decorating. I will (as usual) explain why you are wrong later.

When the old branch is sold more than enough money will be available, but we will need to pay for the new branch office before the old branch is sold.
So let HQ put up an interest-free loan. Simple.
Any loans made by the R&F will not be repaid without a long fight.

Why not extend your child's life and take the consequences?
by I_love_Jeff injehovah's witnesses & blood transfusions.
if your son or daughter were badly burned, he or she would require regular whole blood transfusions.
as a good jehovah's witness, it is your duty to refuse this procedure and watch your child die instead.

I agree with dubstepped. They (many but not all) believe that if they are obedient then god will make everything right again for all eternity. If they are disobedient they will lose eternal life.
Wrong beliefs lead to bad decisions.
There are a lot of ex_JWs who don't seem to have ever been real believers.

Evolution is a Fact #11 - Tiktaalik
by cofty inone of the biggest gulfs that life has had to cross was the transition from sea to dry land.. fish have conical shaped heads, reptiles have flat heads.
fish have no necks; their heads are attached to their shoulders by a series of bony plates.
land-dwelling animals all have necks; their heads can move independently of their shoulders.

As JWs were were told the lie that the fossil record does not support evolution. Nothing could be further from the facts. There are millions of fossils including many that illustrate major transitions.
Here are a couple more examples.
'Fossils, What the Evidence Says and why it Matters' by Donald Prothero describes many more. I think he has a new book out now describing many more recent finds.

And you know it's the truth
That phrase 'the Truth' exerts a lot of control on JW minds.
Well done on how you handled that.
