  Scientists create synthetic base pairs that can replicate in a living cell

  so we now have the ability to create new codons, insert them in a living cell and watch them replicate - amazing stuff.

  living organisms have two sets of dna base pairsadenine paired with thymine and cytosine paired with guaninethat together encode the 20 amino acids used to make proteins in the cell.

  The Big Mistake: celebrating 100 year of Kingdom Rule (1914)

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower society has announced the celebration of 100 year of kingdom rule since 1914.. in recent history, more dictorial regimes has celebrated their years of rule.. i see the society's celebration as the big mistake.

  it's a boomerang, a double edged sword.. during and in the aftermath of the celebration there is a change that the institution, the watchtower system, will breakdown.. just like the german demoratic republic, celebrating their 40 years of rule!

  in a few month's time the gdr was gone.. gorby.

  The LEGAL DEPT must have gotten involved and decided they needed evidence that the $$$ was NOT related to a payback of loans - DOC

  I think you're onto something there. However, by just mentioning that the kind of money they were expecting was on par with at least the same amount as the mortgage payment, the elders are already primed with the notion of how much to kick in.

  HOWEVER, the congregation has NO IDEA what page 2 says, and will donate accordingly, i.e., not much.

  Their two levels of information may come back to bite them in the ass.

  ANNOMALY - I think that's exactly what will happen. Even my wife said Who is going to continue to contribute big bucks when it was just read from the stage that there is no more loan repayment?

  I mean, we're talking JWs here, the cheapest (and brokest) people on earth.

  I'm sure there will be "adjustments."

  Thanks for the insight on the sign biz and prices, INDIAN LARRY.

  I know when my local KH needed a new PA amplifier, the RBC directed the congregation to a "brother".

  He wanted to sell them a TOA mixer/amplifier for literally twice as much as you could get it for at Sam Ash - yet the brothers followed the "direction" of the RBC.

  Have also heard brothers experinced in commercial construction remark on how expensive RBC building materials are - all sourced by our fine "brothers".

  What a scam!

  Embarrassed by Aggressive Apostates

  by ShempLives in

  xjw protests & videos.

  .. i am disturbed by some of the more aggressive apostates posting videos on youtube,like "a jw memorial to remember" where a drunk man goes to a memorial and downs the whole glass of wine as a sort of protest.

  this video and others like it received positive comments from aawa members.

  I second what FOUND SHEEP said.

  "Six Screens" ( whatever in the hell that means ) was my first internet run-in with apostates, and it lived up to all of the watchtower's propaganda.
