  september 11, 2001. riding the bus to school that tuesday morning we discussed the implications of the monday night football game between the broncos and the dolphins.

  by lunchtime our entire world have changed dramatically.

  america had passed into a new era that would lead to major changes.

  kneehi: I believe the organization will no longer exist in its current form in 10 years.

  Yes

  Money and membership is drying up. They are trending like Evolution, religion generally and global warming.

  Toward desperation!

  if you want to read the definitive explanation on fossils and how life arrived its covered in darwins doubt, by s.c. meyer.

  this is a game changer.

  In straight and level flight lift (L) equals weight (W). In a banked turn of 60°, lift equals double the weight (L=2W). The pilot experiences 2g and a doubled weight. The steeper the bank, the greater the g-forces.

  bohm,

  For about 100 years, G-forces (3-5 g's) have been impacting the human anatomy for the first time, as airplanes negotiate the airspace enveloping Earth (up to 35-40,000 ft.).

  Evolution is not even in this conversation. 100 years is no time for it to do its thing. Throw in 6,000 or 50,000 years, still no time.

  But voila! No problem, a DESIGNER anticipating man would fly one day, inoculates him to withstand the G-force rigors from steep banking airplanes.

  • The steeper the bank, the greater the g-forces.

  Now do you get it?

  Thanks for being the helpful antagonist (devil’s advocate) straight-man.

  How is it that the human body instantly has this gorgeous sophisticated physiologic G-suit mechanism (i.e. tolerate up to 3–5 g’s, ever since man began to fly, in 1903), no time for “natural selection” piecemeal antecedents (gradualism predicted by Evolution)?

  Proving environmental pressure did not craft this G-suit capacity. It's design by a genius.

  In the market place of ideas, science drives ANOTHER nail in the coffin of Darwinism:

  “A Biological G-Suit

  …Humans have baroreceptors in the sinuses of the carotid arteries that detect changes in blood (hydraulic) pressure. If these receptors detect a sudden drop in pressure, they emit a signal to the brainstem via the glossopharengeal nerve. After several connections and pathways, some excitatory and some inhibitory, activity of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system increases and constricts the arteries (vasoconstriction) in the bilateral lower extremities.

  And like the air bladders in a pilot’s g-suit, this constriction impedes the flow of arterial blood traveling down the body and forces the blood in the upper arterial system higher into the neck and head, thus avoiding syncope. 1 Sound familiar? Additionally, the heart is signaled to beat faster, thereby increasing cardiac output.

  A Result of Evolution—or Design?

  Such a complex integrated function presents a challenge to Darwinian evolution, which requires generating such a system in a piecemeal fashion. However, without the detectors (baroreceptors), the regulators (command and control), the integrators (neural communication systems), the actuators (the muscularized arteries and adjustable heart rate), and the necessity (maintaining consciousness/perfusion to the brain) all at the same time and in the same organism—and all of it working at a velocity suitable to the condition/stimulus (defined performance specifications)—then the function cannot work. To draw from biochemist Michael Behe, the human body’s g-suit function is “irreducibly complex.” But the evolutionary mystery only gets deeper.

  Another enormous difficulty for the evolutionary paradigm is the fact that humans demonstrate a physiologic capacity (to tolerate up to 3–5 g’s) that is useful to us now, but which theoretically evolved without an environmental pressure to enable or “guide” natural selection. How then can strictly naturalistic processes account for the human organism evolving or adapting such a function to begin with? We do not experience high dynamic states except as an artifact of the modern Western industrial revolution. To have evolved this capacity seems impossible.

  A simple solution to this conundrum posits design by an intelligent creator with foreknowledge of the experiences that humans would encounter in their later history as a species. After all, we know that the g-suit created for aviators required thought, planning, and design by human agents. Both the very existence of humanity’s built-in g-suit function and the function’s irreducible complexity make much better sense from a creation model perspective.” http://tnrtb.wordpress.com/2014/04/28/humanitys-built-in-g-suit-a-product-of-evolution-or-creation/

  WayOut: Y'all see why I don't stay with these threads anymore?

  It's OK, you'll be fine. You're bit confused.

  Note x-dub must see: Darwin’s Dilemma, Cambrian explosion up close, you are there (prior page 16).

  This is the definitive documentary on the recent Cambrian Explosion finds. Evolution Paleontologist Simmon Conway Morris is one of its narrators.

  Outstanding!

  Memorial 2014: Wrong date?

  this was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.

  so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.

  sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.

  So, to be authentic, the Memrial celebration would have to be done before Monday NOON, April 14th. Past AM Monday, noon, you are celebating the Memorial on Nisan 15.

  That's a big deal. A big mistake!

  Correct, using a calendar conversion. Very interesting.

  

  Nisan 14, 7:30 pm (Hebrew calendar, 12h format) is Sunday April 13, 19:30 (Gregorian calendar, 24h format)

  Thanks Ann

  WayOut: Words from Neil DeGrasse Tyson, " The theory of evolution -- like the theory of gravity -- is a scientific fact."

  Eyes can’t see what the mind doesn’t know, and ears can’t hear what the mind doesn’t know.

  Bottom line? Many are not ready, YET , to see or hear (understand) how it is that Evolution is flat out wrong.

  But this time will come for everyone.

  Just like we all came to understand (got past our cognitive dissonance) how it is JWs are wrong.

  (Yes, DeGrasse, Dawkins, Hawking, Darwin, Maher, Jon Stewart and cofty, etc., are all wrong! Evolution is not a SCIENTIFIC fact; Monkeys, Apes, Trilobites, single cells, etc... don’t morph into humans, EVER. )

  Jon, Viviane, Caedes and Slip:

  Guys, this thread is encouragement, you have time to rethink your positions. We're seeing more and more evidence there is a God.

  As you rethink stir clear of crippling distractions:

  1 Evolution

  2 JW GB leadership

  3 4th century theology

  4 Hatred of God

  5 Hatred of neighbor

  Right after the Cosmic Big Bang beginning, "inflation" expanded the universe by 100 trillion trillion times in less than a fraction of a second, from the size of a proton (infinitesimal) to the size of a marble. Today (3/17/2012), confirmation of this prediction was announced by the American team BICEP2 working on this project.

  

  Here is the godfather of this theory hearing the news for the first time. Sounds like a physics Nobel Prize is headed his way.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlfIVEy_YOA

  This inflation confirmation constrains the energies involved—at 10,000 trillion gigaelectronvolts. This is consistent with ideas for what is termed Grand Unified Theory. Particle physicists believe the three fundamental forces in nature (Electromagnetic, Strong Nuclear, and Weak Nuclear) can be unified with the fourth force (Gravity). These gravitational waves, associated with an epoch “inflation” event when subatomic quantum effects were so dominant, place scientists closer to the prospect of pulling nature's forces—with elusive gravity itself—into a the Grand Unified Theory of everything. There is an overarching master plan!

  So, we see the Cambrian Explosion (big bang creation of life) and the Cosmic Big Bang (creation of the universe) converge similar realizations. The entire world that we see has a powerful and magnificent maestro.

  is there any biblical event that has a universally accepted date on which it occurred?

  i'm intrigued by the whole "bible chronology" topic, but have never really dug into it because to put any of it together you need a historically reliable starting point.

  this wasn't a problem as a practicing jw because you just assumed their dates were right.

  i would like for someone to give me one event described in the bible that is universally established and accepted historically that i can use as a reliable starting point.

  Yes, absolute date also is:

  70 AD

  • Titus brings Roman desolation of Jerusalem (second time), start of Jews scattering globally.

  Absolute dates (anchor dates, uncontested by historians, archeologist and chronologist):

  539 BC

  • defeat of Babylon (Nabonidus and Belshazzar) by Cyrus (Persian) and Darius (Mede)

  31 BC

  • Battle of Actium, Roman Republic becomes the Roman Empire by defeat of Mark Antony and Cleopatra (of Egypt)

  15 AD

  • Tiberius Caesar’s 1st regnal year, in 15th regnal is Jesus’ baptismal as Messiah
