Would DNA be a choice to backup this computer network

by Crabby in

could dna be adapted to binary code storage.

seriously could your hard drive be made of dna someday?

I'm using a slice of ham as my storage media right now.

Looking for evolutionary info on how smells can be carried on DNA

by Crabby in

as i said last night the smell of pus from an infection is recognized by all puppies without their being exposed to the smell previously, this is shown because all puppies react the same way to this smell, which is to lick the infected pus laden wound.. this demonstrates that smells are carried on dna in some way.

any thoughts on how?.

Nathan Natas

Let go of smells for a moment.

Are you afraid of big, hungry alligators?

Do you have an alligator attached to your DNA?

Would you like to?

YMCA?

by LifesNotOver in

my husband's gone to his meeting and i'm catching up with folks here on our forum.

i'm sure i'm having a better time :) anyway, was just following some posts regarding the un and there happened to be a copy of a magazine article stating brothers wouldn't want to be joining the "y" because it was "christian".

i think this was back in the 1950's (maybe not).

Ten days ago, as noted in this thread, I sent an email to the US YMCA, and today I got a very brief and rather non-specific reply. It goes:

"Thank you for contacting YMCA of the USA. At the Y, we are very proud of our Christian heritage, which is expressed through our mission statement – To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all – and our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, among other ways. This has not changed and will not change.

I told you I'd be back with the US YMCA reply and I keep my word.

Abandoned by JW and yet trapped

by awake!watcher in

jw
friends

had an enlightening discussion with my 20 something, baptised, awake son.

he said he feels abandoned by the religion, and yet trapped at the same time.

i had never thought about it that way before, but can totally understand where he is coming from.

Nathan Natas

Your son has come to a crossroads in his life.

He can decide, "This crap stops HERE and it stops NOW. My future and the future of my children will not be dictated by a fear-mongering mind-control cult," or he can choose to be a pussy.

Pick up some cat food on the way home tonite.

Why do so many JW's argue that they do not believe what they clearly do?

by Crabby in

i ask a question recently, which was why do jw's not salute the flag, and i ask what page of the bible directs this practice.. all i got back was that i do not know what i am talking about and that they are allowed to do this, when i dropped 40000 google links proving that they do not salute the flag they just deleted it as though my proof could not exist.

seriously this is common knowledge, my neighbor just put up a flag to keep the guy across the street away.

so are there jw's who have no clue what they believe, or should believe?

Nathan Natas

It seems to me that the WTB&TS of today is not the WTB&TS that I knew in the days of my youth. Back in the day, there was a strong emphasis on being able to "defend and legally establish" what we believed.

After 1975, the thinking members of the BORG began to leave and after the death of Freddie "Oracle" Franz, there was no inheritor of his prophet's robe...

Dummies and simpletons run the WTB&TS now, and they "teach" gullible ones who are dumber and simpler than they are. It's becoming an end-times social club with no social events, held together by the irrational fear "but what if they are right?"

It's a theatrical spectacle - a tragi-comedy - for the angels and those who are smarter than the angels. People who leave the Borg now have not yet learned to think and take offense when someone replies to their inane posts with a raspberry.

Please don't poke the chimps.
