Creationist Discovers 60 million Year Old Fish Fossils - Insists that they date to Noah's Flood 4500 years ago
by OrphanCrow init is astounding that someone like this creationist can have no appreciation for the scientific significance of his discovery.
even in the face of evidence to the contrary, those who chose to believe rather than know will never forsake their ignorance.. alberta creationist discovers rare fish fossils in basement dig (full article and video).
"an alberta man who discovered a school of rare fossilized fish while digging up a calgary basement believes the world was created by god a few thousand years ago.. it's for that reason edgar nernberg doesn't think the fossils could possibly be as old as paleontologists are estimating.. "i subscribe to the creationist position, and i believe they were laid down in noah's flood, about 4,500 years ago.

I was listening to the news on cbc radio yesterday when this story came on. One of the announcers quipped if the fossils were from the flood why did the fish die? Don't fish thrive in water?
This was the running joke on the air for most of the morning

Street Witnessing - did you ever do it?
by Muddy Waters ini remember in our congregation, there were a few older pioneer sisters who would start counting their time early - even before the service arrangement - by standing at a street corner and holding the magazines up in front of them and hoping that any passersby might stop to take one on their way to work or whatever.
as a fresh, new dub, i had heard about this "street-witnessing" work, but there was only one time i ever actually saw one of these older sisters doing this.
and even then i was shocked and embarrassed for her.... because this poor old sister was standing there, all by herself, holding up the watchtower & awake magazines, yet looking as sad and depressed as she could possibly ever look, her whole mouth was turned down just totally sad as she stood there, observing all the "dead" people walking around, hurrying to catch buses, get kids to school, get to work, etc.

I saw something like this in the simplified last year. There was an article in the study edition about reaching out to be an elder or ministerial servant that did not appear in the simplified. I guess they don't want simple minded people to reach out. -

Stephen Lett: Crazy Old Kook or Just Really Bad Actor?
by Wild_Thing inso, i am reposting this video from wifibandit's thread since it is a bit off topic.
i watched this video and i have to say that this guy really creeps me out.
his slow and methodical gestures coupled with with his over-annuciation of every word makes him appear absolutely crazy!.

I see him as a fake. Narcissists, sociopaths have no feeling of true emotion. You can tell by looking for a delay in facial expression when emotions are involved.
I see this in Lett. He is void of any true emotion. His facial expressions of emotion are all made up. He doesn't really feel the emotions.

They could confess to the other members of the gb and keep their position too. They have evidence of jehovahs backing. -

They could never entertain the thought that someone would leave because they found out it is not true. They have to make up stories to keep their fairy tale religion alive.
I heard a good one last week. An elder asked me if my wife and I were separated because he never sees us together.
