i know the watchtower has, in the past, copied artwork but have they ever been caught outright plagiarizing articles for their books and magazines?

When did you realize evolution was true?

by Coded Logic in

) which person/source first made you reconsider your position on creationism?.

) how long a period of time did it take to fully convince you?.

) what books and videos did you read and watch?.

William, they usually would say to me that's obvious. Manufacturers use similar parts so god made similar animals with the same parts. Then I usually comment about how shark DNA and dolphin/whale DNA is quite different even though they look a lot the same. And that Whales are more closely related to Hippos then Hippos are to Pigs.

1. It wasn't until I was 27 or so that I could even entertain the thought. I watched a documentary from the library and was so frustrated because all it talked about was the number of people who accept evolution. It bothered me that they were already following the line of reasoning that is was true. I needed something more basic.

2. Less than a year later I discovered this YouTube series by PotHolder54 while looking for criticism of Noah's Flood:

3. Within a few weeks after more questions were answered I was convinced evolution was real. I was also convinced JW's for the most part accept evolution but refuse to call it what it is.

4. I listened to Richard Dawkins The Greatest Show on Earth and watched ARon Ra's series Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism. I also watched on YouTube the Richard Dawkins Christmas Lectures and Thunderf00ts series Why do people laugh at Creationists.

5. I understand biology so much better than before. I find biology so much more fascinating now and its a bit more spiritually enlightening to know every creature on earth is related. My mind also opened up to the possibilities of life and unknown creatures and the future of life in technology.

*P.S. I have to add I originally wanted to give another look into evolution after I understood why a peacock would have such extraordinary feathers that do not help in its survival in any way. The answer was sexual selection. Bright colorful feathers were fitness indicators which usually means healthy procreation.

Just ask simple questions and make street witnesses move along

by OnTheWayOut in

you don't have to know much to talk to jw's and show them they don't want to really discuss the matters.they consider a discussion on the matter they are pushing to be "confrontational.".

The Watchtower logically prefers everyone that knows TTATT to disfellowship themselves

by enigma1863 in

every active jw that stays in hiding their knowledge about ttatt is a hole in the watchtower wall.

i propose those who can stay in, should, especially if they have high positions.

how else can we know what they are up to?

it's come time for me to leave.

i honestly feel at this point continuing to visit this site and others like it is starting to hinder me from moving on by keeping all the feelings of pain, resentment, regret, etc fresh.. i haven't posted a lot since i have been on here but to those of you that replied when i did, i appreciate it very much.

you helped me through a very rough time that is affecting me to this day.

Good luck with your life. Do what's best for you.

I have to say though your gf analogy needs a bit tweaked. Imagine if your ex-gf not only stole thousands of dollars from you but kidnapped several members of your family. You'd probably like to keep tabs on her in order to see justice served.

Please vaccinate your children

by Viviane in

and remember your boosters as adults!.

currently there is a measles outbreak in the u.s. the outbreak is clustered into communities where parents choose not to get their children vaccinated.

vaccination works primarily on herd immunity.
