Jesus veiwed Adam and Eve as the first humans on earth some 6000 year's ago , evidence that humans have lived on earth for hundreds of thousands of years is clear.
Jesus spoke of a worldwide flood and Noah building a ark to save humans and animal life, there never was a worldwide flood some 4300 years ago , their is clear evidence to support the fact that their was no worldwide flood , Google it .

Is There Life On Mars?
by LoveUniHateExams inno, i'm not talking about the david bowie song, i'm asking does life exist on mars?.
opportunity rover (the one before the present one) took photos of strange, puffball-like sphericals seemingly sprouting on the martian surface.. these photos aren't conclusive evidence but it is an exciting area to investigate.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9546225/scientists-claim-evidence-fungi-red-planet.html .

It's a strong possibility as Mars was hit with the same space debris as earth over millions of years and they have found in metors the basic building blocks for life .

The camp of Israel and the problem of pooping
by FFGhost inso, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.
a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.
13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

And they would also require millions of litres of water every day not only for drinking but they would have to wash their hands after they had a crap .

Police raid a Kingdom Hall in Norway and question elders
by cachito inpolice raid a kingdom hall in norway of jehovah's witnesses and question elders.jehovah's witnesses want to cooperate with the police and explain why they have an arc of alleged crimes.
they claim that their elders are priests and must maintain confidentiality ... however ... the watchtower headquarters does not ask elders to refer to themselves as priests, that would be a disfellowshipping offense.
and they do not ask their elders to maintain confidentiality ... they must give the information to high ranking officials within the watchtower hierarchy.

The elders were interagated about the alleged crime , probably with a representative and the with the whole thing being recorded and will be allowed to provide evidence unlike when they interagate anyone in a judicial meeting.
Confidentiality , the whole body of elders etc will be made aware of any confidential meeting you have with the elders.

My gran visited us and we went to the seaside and my gran liked to get her palm read by gypsy rose at the seaside attractions ,so she went in and we waited outside being good Jws ,gran was wearing a cape/poncho at the time she had her palm read ,she then gifted the cape/poncho to my mum and then bad things started happening in the house ( my gran could start a argument in a empty house so would cause trouble between my mum and dad) so they blamed it on the cape ,dad took it outside to burn it and it wouldn't burn because it was demon possessed (not because it probably had a flame retardant coating) so he dug a deep hole and buried it and everything was all ok.

WT needs to learn that human rights apply both ways , not just when there rights are abused eg Russia .
They will also not like the fact that their disregard for the human rights of their members and ex members are being aired in the public eye.

Clap for the Carers (or Don't it's Forbidden)
by Slidin Fast inso, in the uk, during the early stages of covid there was a groundswell of appreciation for the nhs for their front-line sacrifice.
this was crystallised into a regular clapping/whistling/noise making session every thursday at 8pm.. "harmless" you would have thought, "a gesture of appreciation", "what could possibly be wrong with joining in on that innocent activity?".
well, the co during his recent rounds had a different view.

I applaud those who cared for my father in the last few weeks of his life (who was led to believe that he would never grow old in this system).
I also applaud those who cared for my sister who lost her two year battle with cancer a few weeks ago.
I also applaud those who cared for my mother who also passed away a few weeks ago of a broken heart at the lost of her husband and daughter.
What a heartless, thoughtless word's spoken by this co for those who suffered and are suffering and are being cared by these selfless caring people,these are special people deserve all the gratitude and recognition for what they do.
