this video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.

however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.

feel free to claim credit here.

I would suggest downloading the video instead of sharing this link with others outside of the exJW world. WT could issue a DMCA takedown notice any day now.

If you need a download link, feel free to PM me.

You know, at first I thought CAPPYTAN was bullshitting us. . . . .

Sorry. Ruined my rep with those other vids. I guess I'm not ready for prime time. :-(

Evolution is a Fact #19 - Goosebumps

by cofty in

at the base of every hair follicle in your body are tiny muscles known arectores pilorum..

when you are cold, or frightened, or otherwise aroused the muscles contract and make your skin look like a plucked turkey.

this reaction, known as the pilomotor reflex, is caused by a surge of adrenaline.

I thought you folks across the pond called them goose pimples. 😜

Head of Church School Tweets anti-Science Comment

by cofty in

a primary school headteacher has been mocked on twitter after claiming that evolution was “a theory” and there was “more evidence that the bible is true”..... she has attempted to dismiss her stupidity as just her personal opinion but it was tweeted from her headteacher account.. even more worrying was the mealy-mouthed response from her employers... a spokesman for blackburn diocesan board of education said: “as a diocese we state all schools should teach the full national curriculum, which includes ‘adaptation of plants and animals and that adaption may lead to evolution’.”.

what chance do the children have being taught by a stupid teacher employed by an even more stupid bunch of theocrats?

this is why there should be no such thing as a "church school".

To the douchebag who disliked Cofty's comment:

Don't be a douche

Watching from the outside - and a question at the end if TL;DR

by unfamiliar in

i grew up in a jw family.

i was the youngest, and i never really felt like my questions were answered in a satisfying way, so i kind of gradually faded and i was thankfully never baptized (hooray for me).

i kept going to family study time until i was about 27 (!

Back in 1969, they promised young people that they would never fulfill a career or grow old in this system of things.

What is the alternative to JW?

by Formerbrother in

i mean this with all due respect, i would like to hear from genuine people who think jw have it wrong and then what is the truth?.

im not talking about silly little quibbles here and there.. is jehovah real?

the the bible is word?

cappytan

Are you sure that what you believe now will be the "truth" in ten years? If so what happens when what you believe now changes (as we all know it will)? Won't that mean that Jehovah's Witnesses now never had the truth to begin with?

Unless there will never again be new light, they aren't quite the truth, are they?

I wouldn't drink a glass of water that I knew contained only one drop of poison in it. It might be 99.9% pure, but still have that poison and kill you. Likewise, why would I put my trust in a belief system that is still in beta testing?

If you think JWs are the closest to the truth, how do you know? Especially if you are born into the organization. Have you actually studied all other religions to know that for a fact? Or is the knowledge you have about other religions only what the Society's publications have told you?

So what is the alternative if JWs don't have the truth? Become a genuine truth seeker and find what's right for you. Value empirical evidence over anecdotal.
