The new and improved Watchtower...

by tenyearsafter in

i just saw my first watchtower magazine in about 15 years...it was tucked under my doormat.

all i can say is wow!

i was shocked at how small and flimsy it was.

Hmmm...

I was hoping you were going to say they were switching to a paper that was much more flammable than previously. Nitrocellulose would be a GREAT medium fot the magazines and the CDs. Every day would be the fourth of July!

What is this new Announcement to take place in August?

by Quarterback in

just heard from an elder.

he told me that there is another change to be announced in august.

he didn't know more about it.. any other info?.

88JM said, " I seem to remember a thread on here about a month ago with someone who had a "friend in high places" who also said there were even bigger changes coming, but not until after the annual meeting?"

Ha! Yeah, "Cosmic Reshuffling" is coming, but first this word from our sponsor."

What a bunch a wankers!

Isn't it right around August when the WT begins suggesting that Armageddon "might" come in October? Jehovah IS the "Master Timekeeper" y'know.

What is spirit, exactly?

by Viviane in

i've always wondered that.

recently i asked that question on another thread and didn't really get ananswer.

cofty made an excellent point that we often hear what it isn't, but that really isn't useful.. so, what is it?

ANOTHER poke in the eye of the balloon-god YodHeVahHe

by Nathan Natas in

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/evolution/first-metabolic-processes-detected-outside-of-cells/.

precis: a graduate student at the university of cambridge accidentally discovered the first evidence of metabolism occurring outside a cell.

to test the processes that could have helped spark life on earth, students in the earth sciences department who had been working on reconstructing the chemistry of the archean ocean, which covered the planet almost 4 billion years ago helped develop some experiments.

GEEZ... 21 days ago?!?!? My apologies, ladies and germs!!

Whats with TROLLS posting on this forum ,dont they just expose themselves as less than intelligent?

by smiddy in

i mean to say it only takes a couple of posts to identify a troll , what do they hope to acheive ?

they only convince me, how stupid they are, with not a thinking cell in their brain .. do they think its another avenue to get fs hours in ?

do they think their going to convince one of us to go back to the kh.?

One man's TROLL is another man's LUNCHMEAT.

Precis: A graduate student at the University of Cambridge accidentally discovered the first evidence of metabolism occurring outside a cell. To test the processes that could have helped spark life on Earth, students in the Earth sciences department who had been working on reconstructing the chemistry of the Archean Ocean, which covered the planet almost 4 billion years ago helped develop some experiments. The environment of the Archean Ocean was an oxygen-free world, predating photosynthesis, when the waters were rich in iron, as well as other metals and phosphate. All these substances could potentially facilitate chemical reactions like the ones seen in modern cells. Most astounding was the detection of ribose 5-phosphate, a precursor to RNA. RNA is DNA’s single-stranded cousin—it encodes information, can replicate, and helps jumpstart chemical reactions. This finding suggests that oceanic metabolic processes could have, over time, engendered the conditions necessary for RNA precursors to appear.
