Substitute 'God' in the pamphlet for baking soda and it's very easy to see why this advertisement is irresponsible.

This is not a newly formed opinion from Ehrman. In several of his past books he has stated his confidence of the existence of a human (not divine) named Jesus.

IS GOD REAL? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
by still thinking inthis is an honest question on my part.
someone on this board asked me 'how do you know' a while ago and i really struggled with it.
in fact, it was a turning point for me.

As to the watchmaker analogy, I like this definition from Wiki:
The argument conflates the difference between the complexity that arises from living organisms that are able to reproduce themselves (and as such may change to become more complex over time) with the complexity of inanimate objects, unable to pass on any reproductive changes (such as the multitude of parts manufactured in a watch), the comparison breaks down because of this important distinction. *bold added for emphasis.

Songs that are atmospheric
by FlyingHighNow inthis is a song thread that will take a little thought.
i'd like for you to share songs that sound atmospheric and conjure up feelings of night air or a smokey room, the energy of the ocean's roar or capture the joy of a party or celebration.
the songs can be transportive and take you other places by their sound and the visuals they evoke from the stories they tell.. my first one is from tim mcgraw.

More "Elders" Doubt They Are Appointed By The "Holy Spirit"!
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inthe study edition of the watchtower says the elders are appointed by jehovah's holy spirit.
it's confounding the society does not realize that more and more elders, do not accept this claim.
i have racked my brain, wondering how many brothers and sisters actually believe this, fall hook and sinker.

When I was selected as an elder, I didn't 'doubt' that I was appointed by the holy spirit - I KNEW I wasn't.

At what point do you put aside your patience with those flat-earthers and call them idiots regardless of how cherished this belief may be to them?

Took us three meetings and lot of bluster from one of the elders making the decision. For this guy, the reasons were essentially that the congregation did not 'respect' him anymore. In truth, he was domineering, dogmatic demagogue who made life a pain in the ass for everybody.
He did not take the removal well as it did take three meetings to oust him. Everyone in the congregation was elated. He and his family soon left for other greener pastures.
