My first post
by thewalker inhi, i just joined the board and wanted to present myself.. i'm active, in fact very active in congregation activities serving "where the need is great" in a foreign language congregation somewhere in western europe.
as a young brother, i'm seen as an example as i'm doing all a good witness should do.. i had doubts years ago but i decided just to ignore them and move to another congregation to preach more.
that worked for some years but i'm now at the exact same point.

Evolution and Creation—both are stories!
by lsw1961 inthere are number of nobel laureates and other great scientists in both the camps defending their respective theories of evolution and creation, which means both are just stories, and both suffer from having no eye-witnesses.
if either of them were true, all scientists would have accepted it unanimously as they do with rest of the laws such as law of gravity..
this does not mean that there is no god.

Dear OP:
I completely identify with your logic. Allow me to explain your post so everyone will have a better understanding.
Round wheels travel faster on water than bananas can sing purple melodies to clay bricks while strumming on chordless banjos to the the anthem of hamburgers except on Thursdays when Mars goes on its yearly vacation to Florida to play golf with quadriplegic penguins.
Perhaps you and Iconloclastic might learn from my post so as to help people understand you better.

Book Review: The Hunt for Vulcan: . . . And How Albert Einstein Destroyed a Planet, Discovered Relativity, and Deciphered the Universe
by Viviane ini recently read this book and found it to be excellent.
it's the story of how we never stop knowing, how science works (even when it doesn't), how gracefully math can describe the world we live in and more.
the story begins with how sir isaac newton, author of pricipia mathematica and holder of the lucasian chair at cambridge, developed math to describe the gravity and the motion of the planets with no need god holding them in place.

Are You Easily Offended? 😠
by minimus ini'm sick and tired of everyone claiming to be "offended".
if you are not politically correct, you will need to apologize for some perceived slight.. when i was an elder, i purposely avoided as much as i could, anybody that got easily offended.

Happy Veterans Day! (America)
by freemindfade inpeople have varied and strong feelings about politics and wars, but you can't deny the courage a sacrifice of our veterans.
too often they do not get the honor they deserve.
in this country once they come home their sacrifice and heroism is too quickly forgotten.

Shadow has a right IMO to vocalize his distate for war or even service people. I have no issue with that. What I would like to know is shadow, what do you personally do for your community which demands personal sacrifice? I'm just curious because it's clear to me you have no idea why most people choose to serve. So indulge us, please. -

Wifmyoumhave the opportunity to,,watch the HBO special "Severe Clear". It is the best, most comprehensive documentary ever made on the subject of Scientology. It features interviews from the top guys who left Scientology when their megalomaniac leader David Miscavige turned on them, Rhe full skinny on John Travolta and the king of assholes, Tom Cruise. It also has a lot of footage of the founder L. Ron Hubbard also being his delusional, megalomaniacal self. It is one of the most disturbing religious documentaries I have ever seen. Top guys and leaders of the Sea Org being held captive in secret buildings and physically tortured to mention one of the many shocking practices of David Miscavige. Scientologist policies make JW policy seem like a lovely walk in the park. -

I'm not sure what the laws are elsewhere, but in the US grabbing someone's camera from them can lead to a charge of misdemeanor assault. Sorry you were caught in a compromising position but as others have said, it shouldn't be difficult to squirm your way out of any grilling session with an explanation. If I were you I would relax and take it in stride.
