  Cancer has been with us for a long time

  a 2 million year old hominid has been discovered that had cancer in its foot - making it the oldest neoplasia found in the human lineage.

  now, as to why cancer predates original sin by nearly 2 million years, i'd love to hear christian apologists try and explain.. http://sajs.co.za/osteogenic-tumour-australopithecus-sediba-earliest-hominin-evidence-neoplastic-disease/patrick-s-randolph-quinney-scott-williams-maryna-steyn-marc-r-meyer-jacqueline-s-smilg-steven-e.

  Are you talking about the sesamoid bones? Big difference between simian and human? And not something that will change without the help of the genetic engineers.

  Another thing, the cancerous growth in the bone is identical with those of today. According to the evolutionary theory, the simian changed and became human. Why did the cancer stay the same? The same goes for horseshoe crabs and the coelacanth. These also stayed the same for millions of years. They are called living fossils. No evolutionary change there, I'm afraid.

  We are the only living species in this family that walks upright.

  That's an important point, don't you think? Now, the difference between the human and primate knee is as important. That's one of the reasons why they are classified as they are. And that's the way it's going to stay, even for a million years. Or are we talking "Planet of the Apes" here? Only in Hollywood Cofty, only in Hollywood. By the way, I know of a lizard that can walk upright. It proves absolutely nothing.

  Thanks LoveUniHateExams. That's the point I am trying to make. Walking upright doesn't prove anything.

  Yes, Cofty, emphasis here on pre-human. That's why they are referred to as apes and not humans. The fact they they walked upright has nothing to do with the price of eggs. Some apes do that.

  Coded Logic, take note, according to Wiki Australopithecus sediba is classified as a primate which may have lived in savannas, eating fruit and other foods from the forest—behavior similar to modern-day savanna chimpanzees, thus non-human.

  That Most Uneven of Judicial Procedures~The Gradual Lifting of Restriction After Reinstatement

  by TMS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  those with substantial experience as jws will likely agree that judicial matters are handled with considerable inconsistency.

  elders certainly vary in skill level, understanding, compassion or even knowledge of the talmudlike watchtower rules.

  the punishment and, it is actually punishment, for similar offenses can result in anything from private or public reproof to disfellowshipping or sometimes an elder will choose to simply offer private counsel without even bringing the matter before the body of elders.

  On the subject, I know of a sister that applied for reinstatement. The elders told her: "Don't call us, we'll call you." So they will decide whether the person has repented enough. They will decide whether the heart condition of a person has improved to such an extent that he/she can be reinstated. Methinks they have taken over Jesus' role as judge. Now that's presumptuous. What idiots!

  I believe for God to be fair there must be a literal fulfillment of Rev. 11. When the two witness-prophets appear on the scene, they will make things clear. Their ministry will last 3 1/2 years, long enough for all to make up their minds as to which way they want to go.

  Notalone, welcome and thank you for sharing your story. I read it to my mother, who is on her way out if not out already. This is something I have predicted all along. How can an organization survive if molestors and predators are allowed the benefit of the doubt while the victims continue to be victimized? They are stumbling whole families. As a consequence, whole families will leave. They seem to be ignoring the following scriptures, which will be to their detriment in the end:

  Because sentence against a bad work has not been executed speedily, that is why the heart of the sons of men has become fully set in them to do bad (Eccl. 8:11).

  Then he said to his disciples, It is unavoidable that causes for stumbling should come. Nevertheless, woe to the one through whom they come!

  2 It would be of more advantage to him if a millstone were suspended from his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to stumble one of these little ones (Luk. 17:1, 2).

  God does not desire any to be destroyed?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so if the idea is promoted that god doesn't want anyone to be destroyed, why does he make it so confusing for people to learn about him?.

  why are there thousands of differing religions?.

  why has "his only true organisation" even taught so many varying doctrines?.

  Let’s look at another scenario. Two prophets appear on the world scene. They are able to perform miracles and cause drought. They play cat and mouse with the authorities. They kill with fire anybody that wants to harm them. Say the two of them carry on like that for three and a half years. At the end of three and a half years they are killed. After three and a half days, they are resurrected. Everybody on earth would be able to follow their activities and eventual demise on social media. Two choices would be available, one is either for them (and God) or against them. That would simplify matters, will it not? It will also prove God’s fairness, something the Witnesses will never be able to do with their skewed preaching work (cf. Rev. 11:3-12).
