  this is a game changer.

  I was thoroughly educated in Evolution. I understand all its arguments.

  Where? Did you accept it as fact? What changed your mind?

  Cambrian Explosion proves Evolution is wrong. Life arrives exactly opposite (reverse) of Evolution. More complex life arrives first, AND THEN came small-scale variations.

  So what day of creation was that? How does the Cambrian explosion fit with your understanding of biblical creation?

  According to your thoroughly educated understanding of evolution, how should it happen according to evolution, and what is your evidence that it happened otherwise? Perhaps that would be a good discussion rather than this book. I'm not interested in the book unless CrazyGuy takes me up on my offer.

  Please read Darwin’s Doubt, get current.

  Have you read it and its rebuttals? Will the author be up for a Nobel Prize? Why not?

  what scriptural support is there for commanding children to engage in the door to door work

  by soft+gentle in

  i have just been going over the candace conti case and it struck me that one of the things i'd like to see come out of this case is that jehovahs witnesses stop involving children in the door to door work.

  so what would you say to them to make them re-think this issue..

  " what scriptural support is there for commanding children to engage in the door to door work"

  Matt 24:45 of course! "Our word is truth"

  There will never really be any, but they need to have kids out early enough to help with the brainwashing. Making people do things they don't want to do reinforces their feelings and makes them feel like they're working to make sky daddy happy. This includes kids.

  Evolution is Crap, there I said it!

  by Crazyguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.

  the theory of major evolution is crap!

  the theory is falling apart.

  EP I like this idea:

  Pick one specific thing that you think has not been properly explained and let's talk about it. Keep it simple, pick just ONE.

  CrazyGuy, every argument you have made thus far has either had nothing to do with evolution, or been easily disproved a long time ago and explained to you in this very thread.

  So, lets talk an out ONE issue you have, and make it a good one. About evolution specifically.

  And EP isn't the one who has to go back and red Darwin's stuff... As I have explained to you several times in this thread already, evolutionary theory is separate from abiogenesis, Big Bang, physics, string theory etc. Evolutionary theory only applies after life has started, and it does so quite well. If you like to see the hand of a creator in the first cell go ahead, it still doesn't tough evolution. As I asked you before, are you willing to reduce gods hand in creation to just the first cell? I'd doubt it.

  There is no reason to demand that abiogenesis be replicated in a lab just as you would like. It is very complicated. Scientific discoveries are made every day, give it time. It will likely happen in the future.

  I the future, please actually read the posts on your own damn thread before making the same tired points repeatedly. We aren't ignoring you, please don't ignore us.

  Did you have a peek at the common ancestry thread?

  desperate or stupid - you decide

  just ron has received a couple of phone calls in the last few days from the rbc brother wanting him to come roof a kingdom hall.

  now, just ron hasn't been to a meeting since december 2011, and certainly hasn't got a current volunteer form on file.

  so i ask, are they desperate or just stupid?.

  Your info stays on file with the RBC for a long time, regardless of whether you move or become inactive. They don't have time to wait to hear back from every BOE about every applicant they have on file. They may check up on you when you first apply, then after that count on the fact you would NEVER leave Jehovah's valley of protection!

  Mrs. Obvious and I still get the occasional RBC invite, despite having moved over 1000 miles away and me becoming inactive.

  QC, have you ever read any books that actually explain evolution?

  If not, how do keep your confirmation bias in check?

  The Elusive and Shy creator god.---

  is there only a 50 / 50 chance that there is a ceator or.

  assuming that there is one, and looking at it all,- it is hard to imagine that there is not,.

  particularly if you tried all your life to make stuff work.

  Still don't understand the OP, but I'll bite. If there is a creator, he's not a very good one. To top it off he is either uninterested in earth, or powerless. If it is the god of the bible, then he would rather wipe his mistakes clean and start over again and again instead of giving easy to understand readily accessible instructions. What kind of a father would do that?

  The creator premise is weak, the creator IN the premise is even weaker.

  JWs only help JWs. While its good to help, it'll be like after Katrina in 05. Help rebuild, everyone's happy, then they ask for the insurance settlement money. Of course materials cost money, but being paid for volunteer labour? That's low.

  An exodus is something that I'm not holding my breath for, but ridiculous doctrinal changes like this sure help!

  Looking forward to welcoming hopefully at least a wave of new people to argue with chat with
