What a waste Flavia, working in a factory cleaning facilities with no pay.... or advancing human knowledge. You made the wrong desicion and I would bet my life you regret it every 6am when you hear the alarm for 'morning worship'.

Just one more thing on the list that they are wrong about.
People may not be leaving in droves, but are not as blind or dumb as they used to be. Let the WT, a religious org, keep saying education is a bad thing, every day they stand by that line they look more and more draconian.

by snare&racket in7 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.

Governing body, listen up...I got my last exam result on friday, by Monday morning I had 320 job offers.
I was assigned a Deanery in the UK, with a 100% guarantee of a job, in fact I have 320 jobs to choose from. All come with free accomodation for a year and a healthy wage of $60,000 approx, lastly 5 weeks of annual leave.
Watchtower are wrong about a lot more than just the bible and science. Their life advice is literally not woth the paper it is written on.Get your kids into school and higher education! I don't write this with ego, I write it in pride, two huge proud middle fingers, right to the governing nobody!

Higher Education
by thedog1 inmy wife told me today that during a conversation with a relative on the phone recently, the relative said that someone in their congregation had been invited to take part in a branch extension in a foreign country.
this young woman who had been asked to take part is a solid witness, though not a pioneer, but guess what?
she is an architect!

One aspect of evolution that does not make sense.....
by EndofMysteries inthe 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.

You are not comprehending the different terms.
Go read up on three topics and come back. Until you do, you are just a child in a class arguing with the teacher that 2+2 does not = 4.
-DNA mutations
-Natural Selection
-Evolution
IF you do this, then you make evident you do actually want to know... and explaining it further will be easier for us.
If you don't bother, which is likely, as you would have done it already, it is only one google away....if you dont, then stop wasting people's time.

Do athiests believe it's possible that aliens, not all powerful God created man?
by EndofMysteries ini've sort of mentioned this as a different possibility in response to other threads but i was curious if any of you athiests all think that life just evolved on this earth from single cell organisms or if you ever thought it's possible that intelligent life long ago w/ advanced science could have made humans and much of life on earth and just dumped it here or made it here.
.
i'm not making this thread to debate, i am just curious if any of you have come up with other ideas on your own as possibilities since all we have for the origin of life are just theories right now.

Panspermia can't be dismissed, we know even bacteria csn survive in space. But it would be unwise to slow down our work in abiogenesis in exchange for a panspermia hypothesis, at the moment certainly. We still have a lot to ask and rule out before we go in that direction.
The advancements in abiogenesis now we believe RNA is the original code, are significant and it is exciting times to be alive and able to learn.
Saying all this, I am open to thr idea of panspermia and for some reasom find it a comforting theory. Maybe because it eliminates our loneliness in the universe.

EOM- there were black and white (and other colour moths), but due to the colour of ash trees, the white moths were the largest in number originally because they hid well due to their colour, they survived more, procreated more so those genes previaled more. When the smog came, the black ones didn't pop out of nowhere, they already existed, but now their colour was more advantageous. So they lived more, they procreated more and their genes prevailed.
Nobody said that they evolved and mutated to be black there and then.
Listen, nothing beats teaching yourself VIA BOOKS the in's and outs of evolution. For some time now, you have come and asked these same questions over and over again, if you really want to know, go get the books.
This is a complex topic and you are making evident by your questions that you have not grasped the basics. I mean it in the most sincere way, go and get some books.

I'm not trying to brag, but being an EXJW is awesome!!! Status Update-
by Coffee House Girl inhello jwn!
i don't get to check in here or comment as often as i would like because i have been working so hard at school...but i just have to share my news in hopes that newbees can see that taking the leap to enroll in higher education is worth it-.
i am graduating this spring with a bachelor degree in art history, minor anthropology...many people (including nonjw's have given me flack for choosing a "dead end" career path) but since leaving the watchtower organization's group-think mentality and "leaning on my own understanding" instead... i decided to say fuck everyone else's opinion...i am going to pursue my passion to work in a museum as a curator or archivist-.
