I want religion to be a thing of the past and future generations free of it's clutches.
i personally believe moses was largely or entirely mythical.
is because much of his biography, if not most of it, is tied to events.
that never happened, meaning that a historical moses could not .

well not quite, and far from causing a problem for evolutionary theory, this discovery supports it further :.
"a team of paleontologists has discovered the oldest animal with a skeleton.
calledcoronacollina acula, the organism is between 560 million and 550 million years old, which places it in the ediacaran period, before the explosion of life and diversification of organisms took place on earth in the cambrian.. the finding provides insight into the evolution of life particularly, early life on the planet, why animals go extinct, and how organisms respond to environmental changes.
Scientists are sooo silly.
you are older?
you have no pc or tablet?
you can't handle computers?.
It's a cult!
the constant references to 'window washers' as something derogatory.. i understand the context of it-that most jws are uneducated, and unqualified to do much more.
but sometimes the references seem snobbish, almost mean-spirited.
one poster, on another thread, essentially referred to window washers as 'losers'.
You can earn good money doing it, so why knock it.
the lawyers acting on behalf of the wtbts/g.b./'mother' during a paedophile case a couple of years ago, have stated on record that - .
a) "field ministry is not controlled or monitored by the elders, the congregation, or watchtower".
b) "an individual publisher's field ministry activity, including the time and manner it is carried out, is a personal matter between the publisher and his god.".
That's classic, thanks.

I think they are allowing it to have shelf life, in other words it will soon be out of date and they already know it.
years and years ago, i had read something in a book that clinically examined joan of arc and gave a hypothesis regarding her visions, using her own descriptions of the episodes and using what she experienced as symptoms.
i can't remember if they had said it was epilepsy or a brain tumor.. i saw this article today and it got me thinking again.
i also started thinking about how in the past, gb has talked about visions/divine inspiration/whatever... russell even endorsed a woman's book where she supposedly spoke to a "fallen angel".. kinda made me wonder....
I've become very interested in the brain since learning TTAT, I made those connections very early and applied it to the bible it's accounts and writers.
Religious conviction and mental illness are a poor combination.
Hallucinations are another matter though and may well expalin quite a lot of it. Oliver Sacks has done a lot of work in this field.
