  this photograph from a news site is a succinct summary of a life in wt's hands....... look at their faces, it says it all.. also, note the watchtower pr machine in action, explaining that it brings 4 million dollars to the location.

  (10,000 x 400 dollars) clearly a watchtower statistic, where is the care and interest for members who are struggling so much, with new videos encouraging less career activity, less work commitments, at an all time economic low for our generation.. http://www.standard-freeholder.com/2014/06/15/thousands-attend-watchtower-convention-in-cornwall.

  something about them really turns my stomach.

  The cheek of men that have never had a real job, career or vocation, telling other people how to go about planning their secular life.

  It is no mystery, why they sound so far from reality, they are.

  99.9% Of a People Who Believe In Evolution Don't Understand It.

  i never believed in evolution as i thought it didn't make sense and that what was proposed was simply impossible.

  how could an environment alter an organism's dna?

  as we can see however, bacteria cannot become resistance to antibiotics.

  Also SM I certainly did read your thread, you said ....

  "I never believed in evolution as I thought it didn't make sense and that what was proposed was simply impossible. How could an environment alter an organism's DNA? How could bacteria resist antibiotics if they can't "think"? After taking a college biology course, it turns out my suspicions were correct."

  Now you are claiming otherwise. The deceit leaves me uninterested in helping you find the information you are pretending to look for. Just so you know, science is NOT doing the same as you, it is not running from questions. Science, including the theory of evolution is NOT founded on lies. More than half of scientists are religious. There is no agenda, just a lot of things you have not taken the effort to understand.

  i don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.

  i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.

  the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

  The irony.....

  When I was young, the Governing Body communicated to us that a career in the 'world' was akin to polishing the brass on a sinking ship.

  Now I am a secularist adult, I see 7 million brass polishers whilst 8 men await the construction of a life boat in a field....

  So glad I walked away from the inevitible disaster. It isn't as if the HMS Watchtower was a pleasant place to be.

  SPACE MADNESS

  These things are well understood, why not open a textbook.

  Random mutations happen millions and millions of times a day. In a culture of bacteria, the antibiotic enviroment is constantly testing the mutations, when one is successful such as adjusting the cell wall so that the antibiotic can no longer access the bacteria, that is now a resistant bacterium that will replicate and dominate more than the others. That new wall may have come about through billions of mutations through millions of generations of bacteria, that may in realtime be 8 years. The pressure or 'thinking' as you called it, quite incorrectly, is nothing more than the USE of antibiotics. By using them we change the enviroment, we alter natural selection.

  Lets say we invent a new antibiotic called 'abx x' and we introduce it to a population, the bacteria are still,going about their normal replication and random mutations, now lets say after 11 years some bacteria develop a thixker cell wall and the drug stops working, these bacteria will now dominate that gene pool and become the norm for that species of bacteria, in the geographical area that the drug 'abx x' is being used. Now lets say the drug was never invented, and at year 11 the same bacteria developed that thick wall, it has no advantage and the gene does not dominate the species as it is of no use.

  As you can see there is no thought process or intelligence at all.

  No offence but you are mistaking your ignorance, assuming that others don't know these things either. They have long been understood. Hence my constant reccomendations of books. You could have easily known this stuff a LONG time ago.

  Stop being lazy and open a textbook. The fact that you are talking about bacteria and dna not having a means to think means you have no idea how evolution works. YES we however do, hence it is in tne textbooks, hence you can do the tests yourself.

  I work in a hospital, everyone with a confirmed bacterial sepsis gets blood cultures. we find the species of bacteria and we test it for antibiotic resistance. Why because bacterial species have differenct sensitivities depending on the local antibiotics prescribed. So in North Wales the GP's use a lot of Amoxicillin as it is cheap. When someone comes into the hospital very unwell and we have to tackle that bacteria, most of the bacteria in that region of wales was resistant to Amoxicillin. The same evolution and mechanism of testing sensitivity/eesistance applies to every region now.

  Drug comapnies have stopped investing in antibiotics because it takes 7 years to get a drug from design to the streets due to all the testing. Because bacteria are evolving so quickly, a drug developed now, is no good in ten years time so it is no longer financially viable to create new antibiotics. It is about to be a BIG problem. So your theory that they were always resistant is nonsense. I see them develop and change sensitivities within my job. I see in real time how prescribing alters bacterial resistance.

  Show some humility and pick up a book.....

  What would be your favorite job if you could do anything.?

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  on the basis that most of us realise the w.t wasnt really the best " job" or way to spend our days, it would be fun to find out what people would really have liked to have done with there lifes and if this is still possible.

  or maybe its not even a very realistic ambition just a dream.

  in my dreams i stay at home all day and make a living from being a professional artist.maybe i need a phycholgist?.

  warwick precursory site work on the watchtower bible and tract society's 45-acre jehovahs witnesses world headquarters project in sterling forest has been completed, meaning construction of the planned eight-building complex on long meadow road along the warwick-tuxedo town line is poised to begin in earnest.. the warwick town board on june 12 agreed to reduce watchtower's town-mandated $33.103 million performance bond by a third to signify the completion of approximately one-third of the project.. .

  bond reduction totals $11.114 million.

  watchtower bible and tract society of new york associate general counsel richard moake and spokesman david c. day, a newfoundland attorney who has represented jehovah witness clients in significant canadian religious freedom rulings, said the $11.114 million bond reduction means preliminary site work has been completed and inspected.. .
