the saharan silver ant (cataglyphis bombycina) is one of the most heat-tolerant land animals known.
I'm not saying they are necessary but not ruling it out because I cannot categorically say one way or the other...
just like where did energy come from
thereare lots of questions religion and current discoveries don't answer yet so I wouldn't push my barrow as the only one...
Im anti theist but not anti design myself... but hey it's just a concept that makes sense to me at this time...
it's cool to be able to have our own views without having to subscribe to someone elses hey... FRREEEDOM

I dont understand why its an ultimatum - Bible God is creator OR no intervention evolution. What about designers - not wanting worship --not deities ---just designers ---eg the coastline designer in hitchhikers guide - I know its a fictional movie but the concept is cool---- I would be open to there being designers- even millions of them ---just not barbaric, murderous - Gods.
That is tooo funny. One can hope that in the not so distant future a convention will feature the theme "Can you turn the lights out when you leave"
i'm hoping to start a series of posts refuting common, fallacious jw reasoning that they repeat to support their teachings or defend their organization.
in this first installment i will be tackling the common fallacious analogy used by them to equate eating blood with receiving a transfusion.
feel free to share your own refutations on each thread.. "if a doctor tells you to abstain from alcohol you wouldn't go injecting it into your veins, would you?".
I like the reasoning - All JWs eat the remnant blood in meat--because it is not the lifeblood-lifeblood is poured out at slaughter----blood donors do not give their lifeblood -- you can have a transfusion as per meat remnant blood

Indeed
if jws want to inflict shunning on members who want to remain -- knock yourselves out.
but if someone wants to leave - dont believe in an evil almighty god, bible ...or just dont agree with the rules- they should be free to leave- even after being 'disfellowshipped'.
i think it was pre 1980 that you could disassociate yourself without shunning repercussions.

Australian Human Rights commission on religious freedoms:
very interesting...
We cannot say it is a given conclusion that lobbying for change may work --it may even be highly unlikely---but worth a shot?

At the royal commission here in Australia lawyers actually made Geoffrey Jackson look ill at ease talking about bible points... I think with the right ammunition..... and it would be popular with the public for the media...
many people are understandably upset and angry at the notion that jws have the right to shun people.
it seems such an obvious "no brainer" cruel and inhuman thing to do - it must be wrong ... surely?.
of course we look at things from the perspective of those hurt and harmed by shunning.
can we but try and get it changed - may not work -- but I would try
