How do jw's explain vestigial organs in humans?

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

i only recently became aware of cases of people being born with tails.

having looked into it this is a evolutionary leftover and we have many other examples within each one of us like the appendix, wisdom teeth, and muscles to move the ears.

plus many more, this seems to me to prove evolution completely.

DarioKehl

Best answer: they don't address these at all.

The default response goes like this: "God must've had some reason for putting them there, but certainly mankind cannot offer the explanation. For, 'it does not belong to man, even to direct his step.' It's questions like these that will be answered in the New Scrolls--we'll learn so many marvelous things about God's creation that we can't possibly understand while we're imperfect. But be careful asking such questions in this Time of The End. The True answer to this doesn't have any impact on making it through Armeggedon, so for now, it would be wise to stand firm in the face of doubt and stay focused on the more important spiritual things. For the way to God's Kingdom is cramped and narrow. Those 'scientists' are on the broad and spacious path and they are pulling many of our brothers and sisters away with their feeble fleshly teachings. Avoid independant thinking!"

How'd I do? Feel like barfing yet? My teeth feel gritty from just writing that.

ok, im gonna try makin this as short as i can, cuz im still pissed.. my father is elderly, needs me to drive him to meetings.

it takes 30 minutes to drive there, so i stay for the meeting, i dress in slacks and a nice shirt ..in respect for pops.

going back home , would be pissing in the wind.....i would just have to turn around 20 minutes after getting there.. well elders asked me to the back room, and said im doing a good job taking care of my father, and that it looks like im well on my way to getting reinstated soon....wtf???.

DarioKehl

Say, "reinstatement?!? What's THAT? Ohhhhhh... Right... It's that 'going beyond what is written' shunning-but-we-say-we-don't BULLSHIT that only has relevance in your primitive fairytale worldview? THAT reinstatement??? The one that requires me to grovel before the same pale flabby gerontocracy who stole my friends & family after a lifetime of social sequestration? "Reinstatement," you say; The ritual that requires me to A) believe it has any authenticity or validity in its premise, B) participate in the lore by writing a letter pleading for your mercy--a capacity that you do not possess in the first place and C) give a good god damn!

fucker: what makes you think I'd want to return? Don't flatter yourselves. Eat a dick, I'm dropping pop off & going to the driving range from now on. See you 11:45-12:15, asshole. Go fuck yourselves."

The new Governing Body is liberal. they are really freeminders!

by rege brazzy in

dear friends, your posts are very good, but we really think that they will change many things soon...for example.

watch tower now are feminist and they protect the gay cause.soon we will have many gay marriages in kingdom halls.you will see.that governing body is really cool.ted jaracz and john barr were the last puritans in the governing body!.

the current governing body is completely liberal, but as yet has some bethelites the old guard working, they are still holding some behaviors .... but very soon you will see ... even in my congregation is very liberal ... not here disassociates for immorality .. just for apostasy ... i fucked three sister, but the elders did not shunned me, but they only help me!

So you've not seen tony morris yet.

What kind of errors in the Bible?

by TheWonderofYou in

the new testament specialist daniel wallace notes that although there are about 300,000 individual variations of the text of the new testament, this number is very misleading.

most of the differences are completely inconsequential--spelling errors, inverted phrases and the like.

a side by side comparison between the two main text families (the majority text and the modern critical text) shows agreement a full 98% of the time.[18].

DarioKehl

This post says nothing about the disharmony of the gospels, the Q source, evidence of plagiarism, historical revisions, later insertions, the nicene council's subjective "authorization" for selected apocrypha nor does it say anything about the fact that the oldest scripts are still decades older than the alleged death of heysoos and many of the fragments are no larger than a credit card. It's all crap

It'd be nice to have references more recent than 1991 & 1975.

how about dr robert price for starters?

Are the Governing Body Members Mentally Ill?

by Oubliette in

data-dog: i believe that many of them would actually be considered mentally ill, if they were ever tested.. .

great question and intriguing hypothesis.

lets take an armchair psychologists view and see what we shall see.

Anthony Morris has also gotten fat over the last few years. I hereby disfellowship him for gluttony.

@ RC: "For evolution to be true..."

by Scully in

according to a jw contact, one of the speakers at the regional conventiontm stated that "for evolution to be true, two of the same kind would have had to evolve at the same time; one would have to be male and the other would have to be female, and then they would have to find each other".

apparently the crowd had a good laugh over how evolutionists overlook such a simple "fact".. i mentioned that bacteria and viruses use asexual reproduction, and that many sea creatures / fish, etc.

are hermaphrodite and do not require a sexual partner to produce offspring.. oddly enough, the conversation stopped there.

DarioKehl

Right, billy! And ONLY the marsupials went there.

DarioKehl

Yes, yes. There are genes and growth factors that go off at different times at crucial points during gestation and we are all indeed "female."

(great videos are out there of testes vs ovaries and clitoris vs penis based on sex hormone expression)

I was just trying to highlight the fact that mutations accumulate over a long period of time across the entire population of a species and NOT in parallel (as the speaker was arguing) so I omitted sex hormones entirely. That is a biggie as well (and, sex hormones are coded for by DNA).

fortunately, the fact that sexual reproduction "shuffles the genetic deck" is another fail safe against radical changes (in most cases) from one generation to the next that prevents this incompatibility problem the speaker is trying to promote.
