Homo sapiens is also missing (let alone the missing links in between)

by iconoclastic in

the word sapiens (from latin, meaning wise) when applied to humans as final evolute, it is understood that humans manifest wisdom in their day-to-day living.

one of the features of being wise (which means having/showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment) is about replacing wastages with something better.

is this being done with regard to many of the greater aspects of our lives?.

Jonathan Drake

Read any book other than the bible, and all of this pseudo wisdom bullshit will blow away along with all the pages of genesis in a tempest wind of reason.

How's that for a metaphor? Or is that an analogy? Hmm

A small update on the ongoing investigation by the Royal Commission

by umbertoecho in

i think you people would like to know that since the public hearing has finished.

there has been ongoing contact made to me by the staff at the rc.

they have been inundated with calls and the same experiences or similar ones are being related.. the staff are not backwards in coming forwards with insights that they have shared.

Jonathan Drake

The RC sees WT for what it is now... a pathetic excuse of a Christian religion.

I think JWs are a perfect example of a Christian religion.

Will Criminal Investigation And Prosecution Of The Governing Body Ever Happen Because Of The Policies They Made?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

so far in more recent times they have only been called to take the witness stand in court twice to my knowledge one was a no show in defiance to a court order in which he gave a sworn false statement to the courts claiming austrian citizenship.

and the other jackson who gave a terrible witness to the court full of lies and misleading statements.

all this shows how damaging their testimony is when brought before authorities who demand answers for their behavor and policies.. i personal hope for that day to come and have a gut feeling that we will be seeing a lot more of these guys called to court to explain their actions and impose big settlements over their not living up to their fiduciary duty toward children who have been molested by ministers(elders,ms, co, branch personal) they have appointed.

The Org didn't just require all the Australian Branch's money to be sent to the US for no reason, after all.

When did this happen, is there a letter someplace?

But what will the commission do? Investigate and make recommendations? Whooptydoo

throw them in jail. Jackson should have been found guilty of inciting the protection of sex predators and the emotional abuse of millions and thrown in prison without the possibility of parol.

But this wont ever happen. Because they have no actual dirt on the GB. Just like there was no actual dirt on the villain in that episode of Sherlock.

The GB will never see justice. Unless something happens like in Sherlock season 3 episode 3.

Which isnt likely.

i have found an article on their website that moved me to contact them.

i share it here hoping more will contact in a similar vein and maybe we can raise awareness and tear down this propaganda.

i'm writing regarding an article about jehovah's witnesses and their blood transfusion doctrine, found here:http://tinyurl.com/pxku9dgit is clear to me, reading this article, that it's writer is either profoundly ignorant or profoundly biased.

Jonathan Drake

When I say credit, I mean to imply these changes came about because of (or in some portion because of) their refusal of blood. I mean it in the sense that they are given credit for initiating an inquiry for change.

This article I present here, which evidently had appeared elsewhere before now, makes this very argument. In reading your response it appeared to me that you agreed they deserve credit for making the developments necessary - perhaps I misread, but if not I disagree for the reasons I outlined in the closing comments of my previous post. Those being, in summary, that they deserve no credit for something they had no intention or concern or even the slightest inkling to bring about what-so-ever.

I do not believe the truth lies in the middle at all.

i would agree that they deserved credit for this if their concern and their intent was in bringing about these changes, or even over concern with invasiveness of procedures or perhaps risk with using blood. BUT NONE OF THIS IS THE CASE.

the motive of the teaching is nothing more or less than simply following a certain interpretation of their book. That is all. It is very convenient that many medical professionals see blood as over used and in some case risky, and these opinions were only used by Witnesses to further emphasize their beliefs but the belief had nothing to do with any desire to help the medical field in any way.

The reality is that they selfishly and disgustingly enforced this rule and killed hundreds if not thousands wantonly. They deserve no credit for these developments because they at no point care whether or not they come about whatsoever. Their sole concern is whether their followers are following their cult rules and nothing more. Bloodless development is only a convenient event they can twist the bolster their reputation, when in fact they deserve no credit.

Their only reasons for denying treatment had nothing to do with anything more than a twisted understanding of scripture. It was not concern over risk or activism for change in procedure. As such they deserve no credit. It's a simple moral equation.

This is my point exactly:

these advances have nothing to do with the doctrine of this one religion. At all.

does anyone honestly think the entire medical field is going to change for one group? No. That didn't happen ok?

what DID happen, is they found a more cost effective and efficient way to do surgery that was less invasive and safer for the patients, and THIS is the reason why the advancements happened. It has nothing to do with Jehovah's Witnesses. That NEEDS to be the reality being publicized before this nonsense gets them positive media attention leading to indoctrination of innocent idiots.

It should also be pointed out that advancements in the field have nothing to do with Jehovah's witnesses. at all. They were not the least bit influential.
