New Book Exposing "Intelligent Design"
by AlanF ini thought some people would be interested in this, since the watchtower society has been gradually adopting (but not acknowledging the source) id-ish ideas for about a decade.. there's a new book out called creationism's trojan horse: the wedge of intelligent design (barbara forrest & paul r. gross, oxford university press, 2004).
it shows very clearly that so-called intelligent design (id) is nothing more than standard creationism masquerading as something new.
id is really just a jazzed up version of william paley's "watchmaker" argument, which in turn is a jazzed up version of the argument from ignorance -- "i can't imagine how that happened, so it didn't".

I don't read this board very often, so please forgive me if someone else has already posted this.
Here's my new ID ideology:

It looks like the rate has gone up. From what I could find, it's now 80 cents. http://www.qsl.net/w2vtm/postage.html

I think a standard envelope costs 60 cents to mail to the UK from the US.

I really like some of the songs from the old green songbook. Some of them were quite rousing. When I was a kid, my congregation really got into singing them. There was one song (can't remember which one) where the men and women would split up the chorus, with the men singing one part and the women the other. We used to actually have *fun* with music back then. I have a copy of that songbook and like to play some of my favorites on the piano from time to time. The songbooks after the green one sucked. The brown one that came out in 1984 or so (I left right after they released it) is awful. Really awful. That's what happens when you allow only songs written by JWs.

**MUST READ** AlanF's email to Knocking.org
by sf inthis is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.
alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.
however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.

Hi Kate! Did you know I'm going to be in Portland next week? I'll send you an email; hope we can get together. Oh--just wanted to note that Alan's master's degree isn't from MIT; his bachelor's degree is. He got his master's in Oregon. He's pretty smart, but he's also pretty cute and an awfully good husband. I'm a lucky gal.

The Dynamics of online Apostaworld: the History
by Bas ini've been really interested in this myself for a while as the online apostacommunity has grown large over the last couple of years.. as most of you probably realize, the internet has been instrumental for apostates to hook up and make a virtual fist at the watchtower, the turbulent history the online apostacommunity might interest you alot.
it interests me.. as i'm not someone that was here from the beginning, i'd really like to hear the stories of the oldtimers, the first apostates to hook up through the net, the stories from the first boards and sites that were apostate and the evolution of the apostacommunity after that.
i'm asking people that have been involved since at least 2002 or before to share their stories and views and things that stirred their emotions.

Bas, Google has usenet news archives that you can search. I searched under Alan's name not too long ago and it was kind of fun to read some of the old usenet posts he wrote. I wish I'd saved all my email archives from the early philia days, but I didn't. Alan might have some of them around somewhere, but if you could see his office you'd understand why he might never be able to find them. For having such an organized mind, he sure does have a disorganized office! :-) Where are you from in Holland? I was in Utrecht a couple of months ago visiting a friend. My first visit; it's a beautiful country.
