  This is so difficult

  so i woke up a few months ago and had no idea what to expect.

  at first i was outraged that i had been lied to all these years and so sad that i lost so many years of my life to a cult.

  in the past couple of weeks though, i've actually been having second thoughts.

  Since your husband knows, isn't it just a matter of time before your parents also know?

  you have probably heard that there is a mars expedition that is being planned in 2023 where a permanent human settlement will be established.

  people are applying for the opportunity at http://applicants.mars-one.com/.

  think about it, this might be the one chance we have to leave all the door knocker jw's behind,,,,,,.

  If man evolved?

  by tornapart in

  i know anyone who believes in evolution is going to say that there is no 'if' about it.

  however.... if man evolved over hundreds of thousands of years ago, why were there only about 200-300 million people alive 2,000 years ago?

  surely there'd have been many billions by then?.

  I will leave it up to james brown and the posters here to decide if this is bait, or not.

  If you can explain to me in a paragraph or two what you are talking about. I might look further into your suggested readings. If there was a scientific method that could show the earth was more than 100,000 years old and could stand up to scrutiny, I would have to change my understanding of the bible.

  If someone could explain it in a few short easy to understand paragraphs that would put an end to my young earth theory.

  If the earth is in excess of 100,000 years old, I could more easily accept the various macro evolution theories.
  
  I would still have a problem with the errors in isotope dating but if the earth is over 100,000 years old, I don't have a whole lot of incentive to argue my concerns.

  Jgnat the highlighted paragraph is a good simple explanation. I was not aware of a method that could date the earth over 100,000 years. I will reflect on it and read some more about it. If the devil is not in the details then that would be the end of my believing in a young earth.
  
  Post 575
  Now that I see that ice cores may date the earth over 100,000 years if that proves true there is not much use in me debating or arguing about other methods I don't know about.
  
  If the earth is over 100, 000 years old my understanding of the bible and a young earth is compromised.
  
  The genealogy of Jesus back to Adam would indicate a young earth. If the earth is not young that would make me question the writings about Jesus and the bible.

  ' I posted kent Hovinds video and you wanted me to commenton it I said I didnt want to.'

  Okay. But, i don't see me wanting you to use your own words as baiting you. However, your setting out several small conditions that would collapse your belief is what i consider bait.

  A person could see the person posting those vids and your citations of scripture, without even quoting the actual words of those scriptures as a person hiding behind vids and scriptures.

  'Remarkably it seems like a number of people here are very upset about me not believing in dating methods.

  I would say multiple pairs of underwear are bunched up in knots over this thread.'

  I think not. Its called reasoning w someone. I noticed that you threw out little baits for people to nibble. So, this is our chance to see how bunched up they are. Say the word, and i'll start the thread.

  If you believe in Gods laws why dont you go live in Saudi Arabia ?

  by mP in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i think we all know that shariah law is basically mohammads copy of the torah, with minor edits.

  slavery, womens inequality, anti homosexuality are obviously written in the same spirit.

  so believers why dont you go live in saudi arabia if yo u believe gods law is perfect or at the last useful ?.

  'dont our thought preceed our action?'

  Goddess, i used to think about flying so much, when i was a kid. In dreams, i did fly quite a bit. Does jesus monitor dreams, too?

  It appears that noone really cares that you don't believe the dating methods, that you do believe in a bible creator god, along w sitchens gods. Would you like me to start a thread to find out if there is ANYONE who cares what you believe, no matter how wacky it is?

  'how about thinking about murder and not acting on it? and not saying anything to anyone, i would thinking about someone dying and not acting on it be morally wrong? why? is it morally wrong to wish a person dead even if you would not contribute to it? who makes that line?'

  This is getting good. We know what jesus and the wt said about that. Are thinking about it and doing it the same thing, in essence?
