Anti-Evolutionists Wanted !!!!

by Francois in

jw
friends

there is an evolution question bubbling up down the threads a little way, and it minded me to try to really get to the nub of the opposition to the technique.. i would like to pose very serious questions, and i hope they attracts serious, considered responses - once and for all.. why is it impossible, in the minds of anti-evolutionists, that god did indeed create us, the earth, the sun, and everything around us including the entire physical universe, and that evolution was his technique; evolution as a divine technique?

how do you know, how are you so certain that's not the case?

how would you explain your opposition to god if he told you personally that, yep, that's the way he did it alright?.

your belief is just that, a belief. as with so many beliefs it may prove false. if creation is true it will be proven to be so.

i have said this before, but allow me to ask why a theory that allows for the eventual evolution of super intellegent creatures forbids them creating a new life.

finally whether youve addressed it or not evolution has holes i could drive through in it.

hello

your post is biased. a reasonable person only wants proof. evolution does not provide this.

IT IS A THEORY i cannot reconcile evolution with creation, by its nature its is then not created, it is evoloved.

i think a better question is why evolutionists cannot allow the possibility of god.

please look up the following site and give me your opinion.

whoa i missed a good battle allright.. imho, .

america is vain, shallow, selfish, devious, unfeeling, a bit racist and would put a mcdonalds on the top of mt mckinley.

they tend too ignore others sensativities, are meanspirited, they insist on donating money (all the money) to irish terrorists and i dont like their clothes when they come on holiday.. however,.

however,

they are nice lovely people, they care about the eviorment, they are honest, compasionate, and love divesity so much they take in nearly a million people a year from around the world.

they donate massive amounts to countries who hate them when in need and are trying to stop terror groups collecting money over there as best they can. they have great parks, (compare american niagra to canadian niagra) love freedom, and id give a kidney to be one of them, even if i had to were your clothes.

IN SHORT As Maximus said in "Gladiator" " America is the light."

despite thier faults.

happy 4th boys and girls

Terrorism in the UK

by roybatty in

jw

this past weekend i was watching a movie entitled "blown away.

" basically it's about a renegade ira bomber seeking revenge on a former compatriot who's fled to the us.

with relative ease, the "mad bomber" proceeds to blow up several people and sites in the city of boston.

josephus

following the good friday agreement the ira suspended its activities in the mainland. they continue to rearm, and murder in northern ireland. they are involved with both etta (the spanish terrorists, and the cumombian terrorists.

the "continuity" ira, a breakaway faxtion still attemps regular murder bids, thanks to good info they have been mostly stymied. of course they did murder dozens in omagh.

as to why they dont behave in the way palastinian terrorists do. they would lose there massive funding from irish americans if they were seen as monsters. finally they are to cowardly to give thier lives to thier cause.

hope this helps

My mum is brainwashed by JW

my name is walt collins, i'm a 23 guy in melbourne, australia, migrated from the uk 4 years ago.. i've been going through some pain lately, my mother (still in the .

uk) and i have really had a rough period and she's decided to put .

her religion before me and after many heated conversations, we are now no longer in contact.. .

josephus

dear europe

to clarify,

some of "us" are educated enough to know better. your rigid judgemental attitude to what you consider the "proper" opinion here betrays a more serious ignorance.

only myself and another mentioned our opinion of homosexuality, both were non-judgemental and freindly.

and please dont get started on the nature/nurture debate. i tend to beleive it is in the genes, like those with a propensity for violence, and crime. youll notice that i dont "approve" of them either.

if you mention this subject on a religious site its to be expected that youll get that kind of response. all you can expect is that the posters will realize that they are no better than walt, and certainly in no position to judge him.

perhaps you would like to blame the bible as it does judge us all . not suprisingly we all fall short

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jws tend to hate being told off. she will read the replies, take them to her elders who will at once tell her you are talking with apostates and she must avoid discussion with you for the sake of her spiritual wellbeing.

instead perhaps you could phrase it as if the info came from an active jw you work with. this way shell be slightly more receptive to the ideas therein.

good luck

hi there.

your mum seems tough, allthough i did much the same when my sister moven in with her boyfriend, including the damming letter.

its difficult to deal with. i personally dont approve of homosexuality, but perhaps you could show her where the new testament equates it to gluttony.

Ask her how many fat people she treats so disrespectully.

either way its noones place here to judge you, least of all me, and i wish you well, and i hope you make some peace with your mother. allthough maybe shes just afraid youll take her the "gay marde gra"

A call to arms

hi guys.

when i stopped being a witness i was stuck with the enormity of jw lies.

and i was depressed by my own inability to change the things i learned about.

josephus

hi guys.

when i stopped being a witness i was stuck with the enormity of jw lies. And i was depressed by my own inability to change the things i learned about.

nowadays i feel differently. I have realized the power one person can have. to illustrate id like to tell you a story, some will know im pretty serious about this subject......

As i grew up over in Northern Ireland i watched so many bombs go off, and so many die it was normal to me.

From my own home being blown up. (we lived next to a prison officer), the policemen who died when the Ira blew up a car bomb in the fun run i was in, to the mob that attacked my car with pipes last year. Isaw my father cry when he talks about the people he saw in the omagh bomb.

As a witness i allways felt so weak, kind of neutered when i heard something, because as a witness i couldnt have an opinion, I couldnt DO anything. Over here even signing a book of condolence was frowned on.

Now i enjoy the freedom to fight back. SO DO YOU.

i write letters to people, send pictures of Irish republicans flying Palastinian flags to isreali newspapers. i wrote to the columbian government telling about my experience with terrorists, and asked them to try the men they caught in thier country, letting them know that the campaign back home to release them was funded by the IRA and Sinn Fein. nowwhen something happens that im happy about over here, there is a good chance i was involved in a small way in making it happen.

what im saying is, it doesnt matter what your opinions about what i do, you can change things. i was speaking to a witness from some miles away the other day who asked me what was going to be done about all the apostates in my town!!! i lent those guys the books!!.

people in my old hall can actually talk about franz and his ideas, and many have given answers based on his book. all besause of me!!!

if you feel the same way. do something about it. say something, do anything to get your message across. it helped me. maybe itll help others.

Mom - Why do you treat me like the damned!

by zenpunk in

not that my mom would ever visit this site - but i have to just vent.

last night my mom promised she would meet me at home to help me move some furniture.

she made it seem like it was a tremendous deal and the only reason why she would be by would be because she had something else to do in the neighbourhood.

josephus

tough call blacksheep.

i am glad im not in your shoes.

just try to keep some chance for a reconcilliation open.

best wishes
