Leonardo and Michelangelo were Catholic--come Judgement Day, they aren't eligible for "The New System"!
Oh no!!! Does that mean I'm never going to get my art lessons?
I'm gutted

So Amber....When the bible says do not steal that doesn´t make sense to you?
Yes, it makes perfect sense to me. I am an honest person and I don't need the bible or the GB to tell me not to steal.
I suppose you would just love for someone to break into your house and rob you blind right?
Now that's just being silly

FAO: Bane - You Mentioned the Eye
by cantleave ini don't want to hijack the other thread.. you mention the eye being better than any camera so lets discuss this.
i used to give a talk where i would use the complexity of the eye as evidence of creation, but i have since changed my mind and below is the reasoning that helped me do so.. i would welcome you comments and reasoning against this.. if you had a choice between being totally blind and being able to see things out of focus, which would you pick.. i'm sure you would, like me prefer to have out of focus vision, than no vision at all.. would you rather have vision that was out of focus and devoid of color, or be totally blind.
i'm sure you prefer the colour option.. how about if you could only see vague shapes around you or blindness?

Funny thing then that the intelligent designer who was/is presumable more complex than his creation didn't himself need a creator.
That's a very good point Steve2. It makes perfect sense to the likes of you and me but if you suggest this to a JW you are met with blank stares as if you are a sandwich short of a picnic for even thinking about it.
A long time before I faded I felt that evolution was a more feasible explanation for life on. Whenever I watched David Attenborough discussing evolution I couldn't help feeling it made perfect sense while other JWs in the house would be tutting and telling me to turn it off as he was talking nonesense. Instead I had to accept the story of Adam and his wife Eve the rib lady without questioning it.
However, the eye was always the stumbling block for me, but these videos have been extremely helpful in explaining how anything so complex as the human eye could have developed gradually as life itself evolved. I will make notes so next time someone smugly quotes the eye as 'proof' of creation I will be ready for them!

I love all your videos, Tim. Your enthusiasm is quite infectious and I find myself nodding in agreement with all the points you make.
Your little girl is lucky to have such a caring Daddy as you.
Keep up the good work and don't cut your hair unless you really want to. I think long hair looks great on a man and 30 is not old!!!

Sorry I'm not Bane, but I would also like to express my appreciation for posting these videos, cantleave.
As you say, Richard Dawkins is very easy to understand. I found them fascinating.
Thank you!!

Look at the fingers on your right hand...
by changeling inlook at the difference in height between your index and ring fingers, palm facing towards you:.
a) they are pretty much the same height.
b) the index finger is taller.

My index finger is loads higher than my ring finger.
Regarding music: before I was married I used to take my guitar with me everywhere I went and drove everyone to distraction with my Joan Baez renditions, and still can't pass a piano without bashing out a few chords.
My maths is so bad I got 0 % in a school exam once, and I have absolutely no idea what goes on under the bonnet of my car.
I guess that makes me a pink fluffy girlie girl

What's the average age of JW's worldwide?
by XPeterX inand what's the percentage of men/women?just a thought.

I would imagine the average age is older now than it was 20-30 years ago. The die hard older generations are mostly still trudging on, squinting and nodding at the latest publication from the GB through their clouds of cognitive dissonance until death finally takes them away from it all, while younger generations are more likely to wake up to the lie, having the internet to do private research and learn the truth behind the lie.
As for college graduates, in my experience they are as rare as hens teeth in an organisation that condemns further education, especially for born-ins!

Jehovah the lunatic god
by transhuman68 ini was virtually a born-in dub, as my mother was baptized when i was four or five; i was the bible study of two separate long-suffering brothers in my home cong before i walked out, never getting baptized.. i absorbed all the teachings of the witnesses, and always believed that the bible was in some way the word of god.
now i am re-reading living in sin, by john shelby spong.. although at the time he wrote the book he was a bishop of the episcopal church, he states that the bible, or at least the hebrew scriptures, was written by the israelites using their imaginary god to explain their victories and defeats; to provide an explanation of their history.. i had always taken it for granted the god had chosen the israelites to be his people: but maybe they chose god.. why would the creator of the universe choose an obscure tribe in the middle east, leading them back and forth across the desert and in and out of captivity, interfering with everything they did; while totally ignoring everybody else living on the earth at that time?.
a modern analogy would be god coming to earth and choosing the brooklyn dodgers as his chosen team and ignoring every other team, and coaching them so the dodgers would always win.. what sort of petty, bored, lunatic bigoted god would do that?.

transhuman68, this makes perfect sense to me. I always used to wonder why God was so obsessed with the Middle East and surrounding areas and one tribe in particular, who always seemed to be either letting him down, or getting themselves in a right pickle.
When the Israelites were trundling about aimlessly in a desert somewhere, why on earth didn't God either chuck a map down with the manna or look to see how people in Europe or China were getting on, and maybe give them a crack at being the 'chosen people'?
