I figured out how Animals ended up on different continents.
by James Mixon inanimals made rafts out of logs that were knocked down by the great flood, i'm not.
sure about the kangaroo it's possible his pouch could have filled up with water and he sinked and.
how the crossed the ocean, that's something i'm working on.. then we have "if you don't believe in god you don't know right from wrong".

😆 You do realize that at one point in earth history, the Continents were connected as one big land mass. No one/thing had to cross oceans to get where they are today. -

Meh, Paul was a bit whiny. "Woe is me in these chains for Christ!" No one wants to hear that all the time. Others were being fed to lions and whatnot. "Me, me, me, me." Besides, he genuinely belonged in chains; after all, he was a murderer.
Gotta remember he was a spoiled rich kid. Who he studied with wasn't cheap & is still revered in the Jewish community today. Also, he was a single Jewish male with Roman citizenship.

Is it the Elders in your cong or from the borg
by Sabin ini'm just wondering, i read on another thread that as a unwritten rule ivf is a no no.
i've never heard this, so it got me thinking about other things like getting sterilised i've heard differing views on this.
some say it's fine others say the society say's no.. what about circumcision, in the u.k. & oz it's not so big (excuse the pun) but i watched a doco that said it was a big deal in america & most men have it done.

Lol @ the article!!!! Every months millions of viable eggs are flushed by women around the globe. It's called menstruation/aunt flow/ your period. Oh, and it isn't an "embryo" until fertilization.
You aren't under the Mosaic Law, do what you want with your eggs & sperm. Besides that whole sperm thing was about purposely spilling it on the ground to prevent having children not storing it to HAVE children. Sheesh!
Uneducated men writing articles are silly ... and why don't all these so-called "experts" ever have names?

EXACTLY Why JW's Are NOT Christian
by Perry ina lot of people, ex-jws, believers and unbelievers alike, think that jw's are just a somewhat kooky brand of christianity.
is it possible to "try and follow jesus" and not be christian?
what exactly makes someone a christian?

Yuk to this thread! Why do crazy religious types always want to say they are right and everyone else is wrong? I had enough of that crap already. Sounds like someone is looking for new church members ...
Anyhow, JWs problem stems from not understanding that the "other sheep" to whom Jesus referred were the Gentiles. These too he had to bring into his "fold". He didn't say a dayum thing about them having differing futures.

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?
by Funchback inthere were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

Seriously? Ankle bracelets on women?
Lol!!! So he considers them Queenly, royal, yes? Jezebel was a Queen (albeit an evil one), not a prostitute. Now Rahab, King David's great gramps & Christ's ancestress, was a prostitute. Maybe he meant to say Rahab.
Sounds like a dipshlt named Prouton. From the ASSembly platform he went on a rant about sisters wearing ankle bracelets concluding with this bit of asswiperery, "Whenever I see a sister with an ankle bracelet my first thought is 'tinkle, tinkle, here comes Jezebel! -

EndofMysteries, I suppose full online would work if JWs worldwide had Internet service and printers. I guess it could be done at KH if they budget for ink cartridges and paper. -

Any thoughts on the real reasons for droppng the 'school"
by sparrowdown inmy thoughts are.
1. they want to avoid being made to comply with any laws that come with anything classed as a "school" especially a school with children enrolled.. 2. the mid-week meeting has been dying in the ass for years and needs a revival.
i predict happy -clappy-sing-a-longs to be included in the program.. anyone else have any thoughts ??

Cost cutting. One less meeting = less electricity consumption. Whenever the WTBTS cuts something, it's about money not people.
