Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy
by cofty ini intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.
there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.
there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

I don't believe humans evolved from animals. Why? Because animals don't destroy their environment, animals aren't greedy, nor do they or smoke crack then go knock over a liquor store. Humans are worse than animals. Humans are more akin to viruses and locusts then animals. -

Oh, If Only You Poor Bethelites Had................
by The Searcher in........obeyed the scriptures you know so well, instead of trying to worship "god's corporation".. (ecclesiastes 5:5) "better for you not to vow than to vow and not pay.".
the corporation is now giving many of you what you agreed to - a life of real poverty!.
your poverty outside of bethel is a wee bit different from the poverty in "satan's world" - where you've just been thrown to fend for yourselves.

Well, it does say they're "servants of Jehovahs Witnesses", not servants of Jehovah or even Christ... so ... their bad. -

CO's never say thank you for the green handshakes
by suavojr inever noticed how co's and ex-do's never say thank you for the hard earned money they get from the friends?
they truly believe they are entitled to live an easy life at the expense of others.
this makes my blood boil!

I never gave them any money. Christ, the Apostles, et al didn't mooch. They had regular jobs and supported themselves.
"Leaders" don't mooch, CO's, DOs considered themselves 'leaders'. They certainly didn't consider themselves everyone else's equal.
Need more funds, ask for a raise from the mothership.

Ironic WT Statement

galling meeting today!
truly nauseating!.

It's no different from the RCC. It excuses men while punishing women.
God didn't allow Adam to get away with blaming Eve for their shit, nor was Adam given lesser punishment.
Besides, you don't need to ask forgiveness of any human but the one involved in your offense. Uninvolved third parties are irrelevant, unless you refuse to apologize.

That's good to hear. Singing praises is supposed to be joyous not melancholy like your at a friggin funeral.
No one was ever happy because the entire environment was constantly depressing, including that sad sad organ (funeral) music.

Really beautiful Watchtower article about truth

I really like what Russell said.
The problem with JWs is they are not searching for "truth" because they claim to have already found it. For them the truth was just a lost set of keys now laying on the table. However, their keys keep changing.

ttdtt,
Satan lied when he said they wouldn't die if they stole God's shit. Death sentence. And they certainly did die 'cause they didn't get to steal anything else.
Thieves ruin everything.

Is the term "worldly" outdated?
by A.proclaimer inyesterday i had to listen to the co from a spanish congregation on the phone.
he said the fds has been gradually moving away from the word "worldly" and teaching jws not to use the term anymore.
has anyone heard this in their congregation or heard the term "non-believers" used before?
-

Probably changing it because it's used as an insult in JWism. JWs hate "the world" while God loved "the world" enough to let his son be sacrificed for it.
And who are JWs to call anyone who believes in Christ an unbeliever? No clue whatsoever of the point of the entire Bible or what the Apostles were charged with preaching.

Money Grab started in India
by cognitivedizzy ini don't know how the fellow who made the resolution from stage to send 80% of the congregation funds to the indian branch as an outright donation made it with a straight face.
and all the sheeples nodded like they understood the shit he were spewing.
i'm so mad at this cult .

2 billion majority dirt poor people is such a drag for corporations. Their only "market value" is their labor. Children there don't have any ice cream money to fork over to WTBTS.
No worries India, the western hemispheres dirt poor are also lacking in forking over the ice cream money. So says a post about recent letters sent to Central American countries.

No thanks. The speculative and obnoxious conversations would make one walk right into a high radiation zone just to end that pain.
