Why is it so easy to believe a talking snake made a naked woman eat a piece of fruit but evolution is impossible?

evolution question
by outsmartthesystem init has taken me almost 2 years to get to the bottom of the watchtower society rabbit hole.
being fully convinced that i was duped....i am still a little ashamed of myself for being so narrow minded.
i have vowed never to close off my mind like that again.

For the board atheists....
by Jack C. inthis is a personal observation and certainly not representative of all atheists.
i enjoy discussions with folks of this persuasion; in general they appear well read and somewhat more educated than many believers.
as a group most atheists cringe and become insensed when discussing the existence of a deity with believers especially fundamentalists.

For those who do not believe in the Bible: Why don't you?
by Chemical Emotions ini don't believe in the bible either, but i'm just curious as to why others don't.
ridiculous misogyny and mass murder by a petty little god are two reasons for me.

I was very young at school and we were talking about creation and the flood and I remember saying to some
kid if God didn't create it who did? And the kid said who created God?
That seed of doubt stayed with me till I left on my 21st birthday.

Non-practising homosexual JW's
by Quillsky inas i understand it, being gay is not a sin in the organization, only homosexual acts are sins.
i've never read anywhere that gay jw people are encouraged to "fix" their gayness and marry.. i've certainly known a fair number of confirmed bachelor types who live exemplary lives in the witness sense - one life-long bethelite i knew springs to mind - but are clearly (to me anyway) gay.
they've all been in the closet though.. i wonder if any jw has ever been out of the closet, but not disfellowshipped since they don't have sex?

My mother suggested I could stay a non practising celebate gay because the new system was so close I would be perfect and straight in it.
That was 25 years ago and the gay aint washed away.
She also suggested suicide was a viable option as I would get resurrected. It was the cruelest thing she ever said.

Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?
by flipper indue to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?
remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.
what about the thousands that don't get caught?

My father was an elder in the Tamworth (Australia) congregation many years ago when another elder's wife approached my dad with a diary of her husbands exploits. My father had left his diary in the glovebox of our car which I read one day waiting on field service.
He had molested all of his 6 daughters (he had 11 kids) and even had sex with their goat. His wife divorced him instantly and he was removed as an
elder and he ended up going to jail soon after on an unrelated insurance fraud scam.
As soon as he left jail he moved to a new congregation and was re-instated and married another JW sister.
Without his diary confession I'm sure his exploits would have continued unabated the sick bastard.
