i used to consider sharks to be evidence for creation - and against evolution because it was stated that they are largely unchanged after millions of years ( hence, 'what evolution?')..

that's not the case, however.

Ruby, bringing anything to the table other than facts is not science.... evolution and 'x' is not science. Whether x be atheism or religion.

Satanus was NOT saying that, he is denying evolution itself. Why all the word games and semantics, why talk about religious and atheist evolutionists... it is all farts in the wind.... lets just discuss evidence.

Look back from the OP and you will see that is all we did.

If it seems like the science police are out......it is because it is important to be factual , anything less leads to 20 years ina cult !

i was thinking about the thousands upon thousands of posts that have been made on this site over the years and all the valuable information contained in them.

i was also thinking about all the years that this site was in existence before i stumbled upon it.. i wondered if from now on, if each person making a post on this site, put the words jw.org at the end of the title of their post or somewhere in the body of their post itself, if it would somehow drive those who are looking for jw.org to this site instead?.

for example "what's up with those new literature carts ?

If we can have signatures, I would 100% have it in mine

"...just trying to get through one day at a time in Satan's world"

These people can't name one difficulty in today's world that the charachter Satan could be responsible for....

Disease

Death

Ageing

Sin

Birth Complications

Difficult survival

Tendancy to do wrong

Sexism

Slavery

Homophobia

Racism

According to the bible, every single one of those things was specifically created by and given to us by the god of the bible as a punishment or commanded as a way to live (slavery, racism, sexism etc ) .. how on earth is satan responsible for anything she is witnessing in Africa, or home or anywhere?

Satan's tic tacs or GB kool aid?

anyone that has been a jw would be familiar with any or all the following scenarios.. 1. you get offered a full time position or promotion after submitting a pioneer application.. 2. a really great bible student you have gets offered a job which means they have to move or have no time for study anymore.. 3. a promising return visit begins a new relationship and the new bf/gf is'nt favourable to jws so the great rv backs off.. 4. a married sister falls pregnant right after her and her husband are invited to bethel or circuit work or gilead.. 5.a couple needs to start caring for an aging parent right after they decide to move to where the need is greater.. etc, etc, etc.

most if not all jw's would tell you satan is to blame,.... or is he?.

satanic pattern of sabotage or blind superstition?.

I knew of a pioneer that blamed satan for getting pregnant....

I think they feared a media outrage and blame at causing a spread of the outbreak.

Thry protect the brand so much nowadays, there is no way the old WT would have done that.

They could have told them all to do it at their own homes....but no a public display was important?

Why?

by SuperBoy in

why does the wtbs do what it does?

if it's just to make money, they are easier ways.

online bingo websites for example.. what is the motivation to have millions of followers "voluntarily" giving of their time?

snare&racket

I think it originated in Russell, his father and the banker (first WT president)...realising how much money there was in religious literature. Back then there were several periodicals and the WT guys wrote for several of them.

Then came the genius publishing idea.... what is the most popular book ever....the bible. How can we make money? write our own copywrited version.

Now if only we had a free workforce to make, distribute and eventually pay for this literature production...

It is a GREAT business model, downside is lots and lots of fibs....
