my amazing wife surprised me and bought tickets for us to hear richard dawkins tonight!
he is giving a lecture with someone and then they are having a q&a session.
anyone have any suggestions for questions i could ask?
What does he think of the Jehovah's Witnesses taking a quote from one of his books and putting it in an article to support creationism? Article here.
“The filament of DNA is information, a message written in a code of chemicals, one chemical for each letter,” wrote evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. “It is almost too good to be true, but the code turns out to be written in a way that we can understand.”

Wait a minute . . . Wasn't there one nationwide login and password on stream.jw.org for last years convention? Isn't there one this year?
We were asked by the source not to leak the username and password.
in 1897, j.j. thomson discovered the electron.
this was the first constituent part of the atom which, for 2,000 years, was thought to be indivisible.
today, we know of 18 elemental particles following the recent discovery of the higgs boson, the so-called god particle.. back in 1897, most people believed in god because there weren't even any theories as to how the universe came into being.
cappytan walks into the thread.
...he looks around...
...sees SimonSays is involved....
...cappytan exits stage right before his blood pressure rises.
i just had an invite to a district convention later this month in calgary (i guess they get to clean up the saddledome before the stampede, lol).. they gave me a leaflet asking "why did jesus come to earth?
" so i asked them "so why did he come?".
"well, he came to save us".
Gods, I want to do this. If I get an invitation from someone I don't know, I'm following this routine.
Thanks Simon!
i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.
If I happen to be at a meeting when this comes up, I'm pledging $500/month...and giving NONE.

fisherman The word guilty is not found in the Civil Jury's verdict. And neither did the verdict say that he was found guilty by the jury. The terms guilt and guilty (you answered yes) are terms that you have selected to describe Civil Court findings but they are not used in any legal way in the Civil Court documents to apply to its findings.
By this reasoning, the following phrases "do not appear in the Bible" so therefore should not be taught:
New Scrolls
New Light
Faithful and Discreet Slave Class
Governing Body
Emblems
Paradise Earth
New System
Christ's millennial reign
Wait on Jehovah
Growing to perfection
Where else can we go?
Live up to our dedication
Dedicated and baptised
Spirit Directed
Judicial Committee
Just sayin'

again, thanks to wifibandit and pixel for their work behind the scenes.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwzviu3jfko.
at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.
it's expected this will continue to happen.
the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.
Place those dam tracks already and leave the magazines alone. If this goes on for months they'll be begging you to place magazines
Just thought of something. Do you think the "special campaigns" are cost cutting measures? Push a tract for a month and lower the Magazine orders nationwide and save money on printings?

Actually, he was wrong. The last price was 25 cents each. 50 cents for the pair. And those were 32 page magazines. Now, the Watchtower and Awake are both 16 page magazines.
