  this doesnt seem quite right to me.

  my grandmother and grandfather are both jehovah's witnesses.. i dont understand much about their religion just that they dont celebrate holidays such as christmas.. well today i went over to their house for a visit since they live 2 hours away and my cousins were there too.. we were all in the kitchen eating cookies and my brother said that we baked cookies but ours were for santa clause.

  well then my grandma said that she doesnt celebrate christmas and she doesnt believe in santa.

  so i say "well i do" and she says "well that means youre naiive and decieved".

  " You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel", JW are always making big issues out of small things, reacting in socially unaceptable ways, to the point of rejecting friends and close family members. But in many cases doing unethical, illegal and even acting in violation of their own rules.

  It is ok as long as nobody knows, even if some do know it is a "dont ask dont tell" policy,

  rarely you will see shunning (or refusing to hug) because a jw did not pay tax, commited a fraudulent business, did not pay a loan when was able to do it, did not take care of aging parents, waring provocative clothing, watching violent movies etc etc

  It is all about staying clean from "pagan religious practices" and monitoring young jw regarding their natural sexual inclinations... hell if they catch a jw inside another church, for any reason, that is a really big issue.

  Scientist I Interviewed on Evolution, the Bible, & Climate Change

  by Seeker4 in

  2. friends

  ive got some interesting quotes about global climate change, evolution and the bible from a well-known scientist i interviewed last week.

  thought some here would enjoy these, as these are issues we often debate on jwd.

  im doing an article for a magazine about scientist tom wessels and his new book, the myth of progress.

  faith and miracles is the answer from crationists and similar species, so the window is still needed to throw science out of the house of discussion.

  on the other hand, comparing with decades ago, I personally see less trees and more ICE vehicles but feeling the heat, no question

  who said EXXOM?, anyway "neccesity is the mother of all inventions" and patents

  the re-invented electric car is coming back after 100 years in the garage, parked inthere after they found oil in texas long ago, (did you hear about the 60mph in 4 seconds electric car) you can order one NOW, AND

  dont forget that a improvised hydrogen economy will make possible, IN THE SHORT RUN, that your "old" present ICE cars fun on water, LITERALLY,

  of course EXXOM and CHEVRON don't want you to know tthat you can do it NOW, after all electrolysis (a do it yourself project) is all need to produce hydrogen.

  geopolitics shape every thing, but the thing is that europe is "united" and the united ststes is not united to the rest of the world, even south america is following the euopean union paradigm, who are next?,

  hey everyone is getting united, no choice, without the so called kingdom and the WT

  SORRY,

  Did not fully watch the video AND did not pay attention to the audio, the "jw" seemed dressed as jw, but again i did not pay attention, I have been so full of jw "news" that i hardly pay too much attention anymore, the UN news was the 'latest' (old stuff now) news i really paid attention to... because of the implications, which i still belevie was/is a BIG issue.

  a few weeks ago there were a couple of threads about the wts and higher education, and some stated that judah ben schroeder (son of the late governing body member al schroeder) was attending law school at columbia university.

  i got an e-mail from a very reliable source today about some inaccuracies in those threads.

  here are some quotes from the e-mail, which the writer asked me to share anonymously on jwd:

  religiosity and intelligence..

  http://www.answers.com/topic/religiosity-and-intelligence

  interesting reading i thought.. no wonder high control religious groups discourage education if there are studies that show conclusively that people with higher educations/intelligence are more likely to not believe in god at all!.

  religiousness and intelligence is a subject of studies on the social correlates of intelligence and iq.
