  Neanderthal man

  by scary21 in

  2. friends

  my ex husband and father of my daughter was never baptized but is still a believer in the wt.. a couple years ago we were talking about evolution ( which he does not believe in ) i brought up the subject of the neanderthals and how we all have their dna except africans ( the ones that never left africa ).

  he said neanderthals are apes and not humans and jw's do not teach that they are humans.

  i said i believe they do.. in the life- how did it get here book, under the sub heading " the human family "is says " neanderthal man....... was undoubtedly human.. his response was " they are just talking about what other people believe " ahhhhh .

  Science has looked at the genetics in like 2006 to prove once and for all Neanderthals were not human. Some religious groups claim that they were deformed humans as it bypasses the need to explain a species with intellect, communication, rituals, trade, tools, homes, jewellery..... Etc etc not mentioned in the bible.....

  Your chap is suffering an education from the uneducated. The JW's have taught both and even that they don't exist, so of course he is confused. He needs to choose better teachers.

  Noah preached 100-120 years and no followers. What the hell was he preaching?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  let me see if i have this straight.

  we are to believe noah preached over a 100 years with 0 effect.. the bible records that lamech, noah's father had sons and daughter's but the number is not included.

  to have a plural number of brothers and sisters, there would be at least four siblings, two brothers and two sisters.. my folks had 6 kids and 90 years later there are over 100 family members.. some say based on what's written in gen.6:3, noah preached anywhere between 100-120 years.

  I thought the same thing Billy...... Stupid WT writers...

  "Oh look, a college Scholarship in an envelope....for me! I wonder where that came from?  Not like I worked for years in order to get it.....hmmm..... Ah well, I'm going to accept this equally worthwhile opportunity to pioneer, demonstrated by this form I just happen to have handy on opening the magical scholarship envelope...."

  To get a scholarship offer you not only have to endure a few years of hard book work, but judgmental head shaking in a local cong as you stay in school. Then there is the anti education articles and assembly talks....... Whatever kind of JW gets as far as a scholarship, they ain't likely pioneering!

  "Ukraine and weapons? If the US begins openly weaponizing Ukraine's military Putin will respond in kind and escalation will occur, and probably to a very bad end."

  Hmmm.....

  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/02/09/obama-confirms-arming-ukraine-on-table-if-diplomacy-with-russia-fails/

  "President Obama confirmed Monday that his administration is weighing the possibility of sending arms to Ukraine to help the country beat back Russian-backed separatists, if diplomacy fails."

  It's all creeping in the wrong direction daily now...

  http://rt.com/politics/230559-russia-west-attitude-poll/

  The number of Russians who claimed their negative attitude to the United States rose to 81 percent compared to 44 percent one year ago. The number of those who perceived the current relations between the two nations as hostile rose from 4 percent to 42 percent in a year.

  Some 71 percent of those polled claimed negative attitude to the European Union (up from 34 percent a year ago) and 24 percent said that the EU and Russian Federation were in hostile relations, compared to just 1 percent in January 2014.

  Having done both...

  if you want to spend your 30's regretting your lost youth........ignore your doubts, remain a JW and gIve into the guilt and pressure from the Window cleaners above you in the org.....become a pioneer.

  If you want to be happy and enjoy freedom of thought and expression, leave the JW's.

  If you want to learn something about the world and become an expert in something, maybe even offer something back to mankind, then educate yourself at college. Education is a protection, it teaches you how to safely procure information. it will make the Watchtower and Awake look like nothing more than the dishonerable self advertising it really is.

  I have pioneered and gone to bethel, I have also gone to university. I literally CAN'T BELIEVE how I used to live, when a JW. There is nothing of sufficient value in the whole world that would be tempting enough to get me to swap my life back.

  I agree cofty.

  Putin is a very intelligent man and he is determined to resurrect the Russia of old.

  He recently cried at a ceremony, drenched in memory of the glory of mother Russia. He welled up when the old national anthem began. Along with his sentimental KGB memories, these are a seriously bad mixture. 

  He knows he can't stay in power forever, I can't help but feel he wants his last years in office to be.....memorable.....

  Well, the king of the North is being a dick again....

  The mighty Putin is certainly hustling for a scrap. I have felt for some time that he wants to go out in flames and glory. Russia is so far behind the rest of the world and with China and  India, the economic powerhouses of the future, Russia has little to drag itself up with.

  So Putin is now flying planes over the UK with their communications and transponders switched off. The planes that carry the kind of bombs nobody want to see dropped.

  The news channels are not discussing it at all, but it is impossible that western leaders are not sizing up a POTENTIAL world war 3 right now....... What do you guys think?
