Some with 'weak conscience' will write letters to Santa....er I mean the holy GB:

Are these brothers allowed to play music while preaching with a cult cart?
What's next, juggling bibles ffs?

And then a BOE or item in the CLAM will follow:

Some of our brothers have made creative use of heavenly music while preaching the good news.
While it is true that Jehovah's worshippers have used music to praise Jehovah throughout the ages, it is not appropriate to use music while preaching.
Why not?
First, the music distracts from our beautiful literature trolley, and might negatively effect the apathetic reaction from the public.
Second, playing music brings undue attention to the person performing the music, while this attention should be on the faithful and discreet slave.
Third, the only approved way to bring praise to Jehovah using music is in the kingdumb hell.
Also note that just a single piano is not acceptable for our holy worship, as we are now using orchestral arrangements.
Note to BOE, don't read to Congo:
DF all suckers who continue to play unapproved kingdumb music. Also let us know so we can serve a cease-and-desist and sue them for monetary damages on our copyrighted music.

Need to vent: My loathing for the JW cult increases more and more, while my wife clings more and more to it

We may have interbred with Neanderthals earlier than previously thought.

friends

it is now thought that we have been interbreeding with neanderthals as early as 100,000 years ago.. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35595661.

craziest thing i just realized: some women still breed with neanderthals up to this day.

rihanna and chris brown anyone?.

Hmmm just wondering now.

Apparently we share 50% of our DNA with banana's, and only 1%-10% with Neanderthalers.

What have women been doing???

@half banana

Lol, indeed. Know I know why I was never invited on the propaganda committee.

But this 'true science corresponds with our prehistoric storybook' makes me puke every time....

Science article Watchtower style:

Where were Adam and Eve created?

The Bible is the best evidence that the first humans were created in the Middle East.

But many evolutionists want to believe that humans originated in Africa.

Do the facts show their beliefs are correct?

Dr Sergi Castellano, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Germany, said about the importance of this issue: "It is significant for understanding the history of [...] humans [...]."

What do the facts show about the location of first humans?

Previously some have "suggested that humans [...] migrated out of Africa and began to spread around the world.

As they left the continent, they [...] lived across Europe and Asia."

However, speaking about human presence in continents other than Africa, a scientist comments:

"The latest finding suggests otherwise. [This] was happening thousands of years earlier."

In fact, humans were nowhere to be found in Africa in the earliest human history.

Speaking about giving birth to children, the same scientist comments that the evidence shows that "early humans were [...] doing so outside of Africa because our close relatives were not found there."

"And this means that [raising families in Africa] took place at least [many] years later."

Since humans were in Africa 'later', they must have been on other continents 'earlier'.

Clearly this proves that human migration started in the Garden of Eden, not in Africa

"The functional significance of this is unclear at the moment," said Dr Castellano. "However, the findings do shed more light on the history of human migration."

If scientists are unclear about how to interpret the available evidence, how can they pretend to be able to reject God's all-knowing wisdom?

Commenting on the study Prof Chris Stringer, research leader in human origins, from the Natural History Museum in London, said: "[...]we really don't know how widespread [...] early [...] humans might have been in the regions between Arabia and China at this time."

He added: "At the moment we simply don't know [...] the possibilities [...]. [We] will need a lot more data before that becomes possible."

Yes, those who are blinded by Satan want to believe lies about human origins that are contradicted by the evidence.

But True Christians accept the abundantly available evidence that shows Adam and Eve were created in the Middle East, and reject the satanic propaganda of those opposing biblical truth.

And again science shows the Bible to be correct!

Help to build a "Guide to Your New Faith"

by Defianttruth in

i have seen many people ask the question, "if its not the truth what else is there?

" i imagine that most people want to remain in a christian faith so i want to build a matrix for one to use as a guide in finding a new church if he or she feels a need to worship.

i personally don't attend any church and i will keep my personal beliefs to myself.

Anders Andersen

If the church wants you to reject important parts of accepted science, you've found a bad church.

Man how I recall walking through a museum about prehistoric humans, tools and settlements and thinking 'yeah right, as if these scientists know what they are talking about' whenever a date older than 4000BCE was mentioned... Silly me.

Should this Body of elders be considered blood guilty?

by dbq407 in

over the weekend a very nice, caring individual was killed in a car accident after meeting.

she was 32 y/o and has a 3 year old daughter.

her husband was driving home from meeting when his car slid off the road, came back on the road, and was broad sided by a truck.

Anders Andersen

Cult mind control aside, everyone should still use their own brain.

Don't travel when it's too dangerous. That includes the victims and the truck driver (who is also a victim here).

Still it's a sad story.

Of course it doesn't help that yearbooks and JW bullcast tell experiences about how faithful JW were saved during disasters because they were in the kh.

Evolution and Atheism - please help

by Fernando in

not being familiar with either, my question is:.

what is the relationship between evolution and atheism?.

i'd love to hear from anyone and everyone, and also from any perspective.. without limiting the conversation in any way, i would of course also appreciate comments that are simple, clear, direct and correct (as i don't have the capacity to do a phd in evolution or atheism)..

Anders Andersen

@David_Jay,

Good points, as always :-)
