Any ExJw Millenials here? If not which Gen do you fall under?

if anyone had to guess, what do you think the average age of the community actually is?.

are more millennials actually waking up or is it pretty even amongst previous generations as well?

I was born in 1974 but I do have more nostalgia for the 90s than the 80s.

Grunge ( Nirvana, Hole, Alice in Chains etc ) Post Grunge( Blink 182, Green Day, Oasis etc ), Kevin Smith movies, X-files, Me being in trade school, road trips across Canada and the United States, buy a house for 40,000 dollars, birth of internet, the television show friends, stupid shit making the news like OJ and Tonya Hardening because the world wasn’t that scary.

I am glad my childhood was in the 80s though. We actually had find stuff to do besides playing on Ipad.

Me and my friends use to watch Red Dawn over and over and play wolverines. I kind of miss the days of the big scary Soviet Union.

Evolution is a Fact #12 - Lenski's E. coli Experiment

by cofty in

evolution works by the non-random selection of random mutation.

natural selection accumulates favourable random chance events.. the experiment that was began on 24th february 1988 on e coli bacteria by dr richard e. lenski and his team is surely one of the clearest demonstrations of the power of this process.. e.coli is one of the commonest bacterium on earth, there is around 100 billion, billion of them in the world at any given time and around 1 billion of them in your gut right now.

most of the time they cause no problem, until a new strain wreaks havoc on its host's digestive system.. if we assume the probability of a particular gene mutating to be 1 in a billion, the size of the population is so high that just about every gene in the e.coli genome will have mutated somewhere in the world every day.

I am not here to argue for or against evolution. The purpose of this board to discuss the evils, dangers, getting support from leaving the WTS.

Comfy is here proselytizing militant atheism and pretending it’s all in the guise of scientific enlightenment.

He has the same rotten need to preach and convert people like he is still a dub. His threads are spam and quite annoying.

Ha

You freaking minions are like the idiots in the KH who bob your heads up and down when they are explaining the overlapping generation.

" Bravo Comfy "

" thanks Comfy, I totally got that '

" how did anyone ever miss that "

too funny

You are like the 20 year old who goes to the junior high football game in the park and pretends he is the coach. You know no one here has the education background to prove or disprove anything you post because no one here is an evolutionary biologist.

If you were really sincere in your interest you won’t be here. You would be playing with the big boys. Either in a university level classroom or at the very least a message board where the primary interest was evolutionary biologist.

You my friend are completely full of shit. You just miss the ole kingdom hall with your complex bamboozles and feeling morally superior to the rest of mankind.

I hope you people realize that becoming a scientist isn’t like becoming a JW. It takes years of serious study and a real education.

What cofty is doing here is the equivalent of handing out 2 to 3 page bible tracts.

My wife made a very wordly comment the other night

by Clambake in

my wife who is currently on maternity leave made a comment about luck she was to leave in canada because we get 52 weeks maternity at basically 40,000 per year.

she is not originally from canada coming from a country with basically no maternity leave.

i told her to make sure she doesn't say anything like that at kh.

Clambake

Americans have no paid maternity leave ?

Its just unemployment insurance in Canada.

Man, that's rough

I told her to make sure she doesn't say anything like that at KH. You know with all goverments in the world being controlled by satan and such.

She told me I was out of line and they are respectful and pay their taxes and such.

I asked her if she ever heard anyone in a prayer at the KH say thanks to Jehovah for living in a place like Canada ? I also told her the average JW never reaches an income level where they pay any serious taxes and they will always take much more of the system than they will ever put back in.

Silence after that. ( the way it usually ends up )

I thought it was funny

Does it ever bother you or did it bother you how disrespectful JWs were on this subject ? Pisses me off some fierce.

Who did you believe the scriptures were describing when you were a JW?

No offensive but none of those dominations are nearly 1/100 as evil as the WTS. The idea of comparing mainstream (yes the Adventists) Christian dominations to that of the WTS is simply ridiculous.

I had a discussion with my uncle who is a Baptist pastor about the issue of congregational disciple and he basically told me it really is a non-issue 99.5 % of the time. If you want to start doing drugs or becoming a swinger or whatever , chances are a person will distance themselves from the church and its members before they start to live this type of lifestyle.
