nasa discovery proves the bible scientifically accurate.
the debate.
for decades there has been a long standing debate between science and religion as to the validity of the biblical genesis account of creation.
I.e........maybe in the future facts wil change to fit my world view......
smart!
chris tann,.
in your earlier post you seemed to be under the impression that genesis and science were somehow compatible .
however, the truth is the two are not reconcilable at all.
There either was a creator or not. Both answers are fascinating and illogical from a human perspective.
Currently there is no evidence of a creator, though likewise no evidence to dismiss a creator.
The choice to believe in something without evidence is up to you....
Despite all of this, one thing is undeniable, the bible got it wrong.
What people do with this data is up to them. Ignore It, fight it, deny it, make a circle fit a square hole etc etc....
Most people make the data fit their worldview. This forum is unique because we consumed data that with great consequence we accepted and lost our world view. Surely we have learned that lesson well!?
Evidence dictates all, opinion should dictate nothing more than pondering.
what we need is a cartoon presentation of jw beliefs that's as revealing as this very entertaining one exposing mormons.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3bqlz8uozk.

the watchtower does not usually place women in positions of authority.. so, does anyone know if there have been any female medical doctors (any type, md, do or chiro) that worked at bethel recently?.
the only one that i know of was dr mae j work, but she was at bethel over 70 years ago!.
.
UK bethel had female doctor and female masseus, also had female arhitect.
it's been 12 years since i first read ray franz's books and the scales came off my eyes.
by that time i was in my forties.. since 2002 i went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations.
but my biological clock is ticking away and while my peers are looking forward to retirement, i am only beginning.

What we went through is unique, write a book, write a film, make a documentary. Tell the world what we went through and make a difference.
Study psychology (3yrs) and become a cult expert? Get painting, writing, singing. The world is an exciting place one you realise there are no shackles, your achievements are limited to ambition and imagination.
We are the lucky ones, 7 million are still thigh high in bullshit, likely to die standing still, decades behind normality and society.
You are an intelligent, strong, unique woman.
Yeah, we lost our youths and it is a painful melancholic reflection for sure, but we were always going to lose our youths, however WE have determined our now, today and tomorrow. Be proud !
I was talking to a doctor with training in cult mind sets, she said it is very, very,very rare for a person to untangle the indoctrination and leave. It is an emotional, intellectual and psychological minefield....
you have done amazing to simply get out, we all have x
i was thinking of doing a pop-in visit when they're doing their thing(what ever that might be).
to just see what it is that lures and hooks people, like our son.
i was worried there is some sort of subliminal messages in audio or video that start to brain-wash a person.
Use your own magic powers.....
Just ask "how do you know that, please show me the original source for that statement/information."
It's like kryptonite in a KH....

would it be fair to say many of the posts on jwn are in essence about this?.
if we could better understand what worked for us, would we be better able to help others?.
where do basic human needs ("met" by the cult) end, and where does addiction start?.
Ignorance fuels the disease, information the cure.
had a coversation with a very close friend (of 15 years) and understands how i feel about the wt org.
he himself is a serious doubter.
i on the other hand am not a doubter, i know with every living ounce of myself that this is a cult!
What's the harm in dabbing just a little human excraiment on your lips? Especially if your family would be mad if you didn't?.....
I had a friend like this, he wasn't as awake as your pal, he even admitted to things such as saying "The society suggest...." When saying things from the platform he disagreed with. Helped the poor guy sleep at night I guess.... Very sad.
okay, come on ........ how many of you guys out there love the dude?
he's a frickin' role model!
any other favorite movie characters - those that inspire you, that express how you feel about your new-found freedom, or transformation, life in the borg?.
The dude abides........
I get ripped for drinking White Russians at inappropriate places and times of day ........... But then, I do need a nice rug.
