  owning a military company.. the watchtower accepted, owned and managed the largest shares in a military navy company.

  7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.

  i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.

  i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

  I was a bethelite in the Uk Mag, I was also a window cleaner, shop worker, building site dogs-body to support my pioneering.

  A watchtower education..... an oxymoron.

  One aspect of evolution that does not make sense.....

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the part that does make sense are how bodies adapt over time to surroundings and use.

  for example because of eating habits changing, our jaws have become smaller and we don't need wisdom teeth.

  or the effect of the sun on our skin, etc.

  Redvip, good analogy x

  I like to ask people what shape a human red blood cell is? They say round (close enough- concave) and I ask if they have heard of sickle cell disease? The cells in these people are sickle shaped due to a random dna mutation. It is prevelant in eastern africa as it is protects from Malaria.

  So again what shape is a human red blood cell? Round

  What shape is a human red blood cell in 50 years.... if a vicious malaria spreads globally wiping out most of humanity?

  The answer is now ....sickle shaped.

  No intelligence, no design and with no prior knowledge of the events leading to this change, a human in the future would conclude they were perfectly designed to their environment.

  Comatose, why do this the hard way? Go buy the books.

  evolutionary biology is a 3 year degree. You are starting from scratch and want the answers ih half a forum page. We have given you a great foundation to go learnd from.

  I had diddly-squat, I picked up the books. Didn't have anyone to ask anything to either. So if you are sincere about knowing..... go get the books x

  Atheists, here is a 'balls' question ---even for all---

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is very difficult to knock a ball into a hole (like golf), throw it into a receiver's hands (american football) intercept it and knock it over the fence (american cricket).

  or to put a sattelite at the right time at the right speed in the right direction in the right place to have it orbit another body, so :.

  what ingenious natural & process is it, than can get 9+ zillions bodies to get into the right orbit simultaniously or sequentially and have them remain there for billions of years?

  All the best with your pioneering efforts to understand the universe........ without studying a jot.

  The cheap shot about being a patient is EXACTLY the kind of thing that prevents me from staying. Stay classy Prologos .....

  7 years ago I started on a path I had long ago given up on as impossible. I met with my elders and told them I could not justify carrying on as a JW. I went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (A levels with distinction) in just 12 months. I was 26 years old.

  I was accepted to start a 6 year Medical Degree the next summer, I had wanted to be a doctor from a young boy, medical school as an outcast JW with no financial support and few friends and family was no joke.

  At 10am today, after 6 years of hell, I got the email with my results for my medical finals.

  All passed.

  I did it, I'm a doctor of medicine and surgery ..... It feels amazing to achieve it. It was by far the hardest thing I will ever do, but also the most fulfilling.

  For all the support and kind words, debate and chat, over the last few years... Thank you all at JW.NET Xxxx
