  Life and death in the backyard

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i live inside the seattle city limits in an old residential neighborhood.. during the winter i put out "bird pudding" made from oatmeal, margarine, birdseed, peanuts, etc.

  to help meet the nutritional needs of a family of crows that we share the neighborhood with.

  the crows, in turn, share their puddin' with a few pigeons and a few local squirrels.

  "Life Begins at Rape"- Palin Policy

  by SixofNine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i suppose that when most of us who are fortunate not to have been the victim of sexual assault hear the word "rape kit", we tend to think of it specifically in terms of forensic analysis and examination--dna collection, trauma, that whole sort of thing.

  but rape kits also contain...emergency contraception.. .

  to quote from an alaska blogger who has provided a firsthand account of the aftermath of a sexual assault in wasilla: .

  How to Debate an Evolutionist (if you must)

  by hooberus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this thread is primarily directed to biblical creationists and other non-evolutionists here (as such no or limited responses will be given to evolutionist posts here).

  please if you are a non-evolutionist attempt to refrain from debating evolutionists here on this thread, as they will likely try to derail any learning, or exposure of their tactics.

  i will try to avoid debating here but instead posting information in a series of posts.. i consider myself to be an informed biblical creationist and probably one of more experienced creation/evolution issue debaters to have been on this forum.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT stupid!

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after several years 'out' i can't be the only one who still gets a bit pissed off to hear 'oh so clever' apostates slagging off jw's for being dumb, stupid and worse.

  grow up!

  the beliefs of jehovah's witnesses are certainly stupid but then i'd say the same for all christian belief just as many of you might condemn my atheistic, evolutionary postion as being nonsense.

  is it true that jws teach it is ok to lie and conceal from a new study?

  by looloo in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i remember after i had been inviting in a couple of ladys to chat a few times (but i was not a study at this point) i asked outright if me and my kids would be destroyed at armageddon , and one of them replied "yes you will if you are not a jw " i was terrified , i rang my dad and he said to tell them to piss off nxt time they come because they are a cult , how i wish i had listened , but i started a study , and i remeber an elder telling me that the other lady that used to call on me cringed when her friend said to me outright that yes you will be destroyed, and had wished she had put it differently (lied perhaps ) this elder told me that when you study you may not like everthing you learn but its like being given a meal , just because you dont like something on your plate dosnt mean you cant eat the rest of the meal !!!!!

  is it in their literature to lie to studys ?

  i know that a lot of jws have said they havnt heard about the michael porter and local child molester scandal when people have mentioned it on the ministery, there is no way that can be true considering the coverage it got , do you think it is announced at the hall to pretend they know nothing so they dont have to discuss it ?
