  Recording of doorstop meeting with JWs

  by MrMonroe in

  i was alerted to the presence of jws in my street, so i grabbed my voice recorder and placed it by the front door.

  several minutes later there was a knock, i pressed "record" and opened the door to two jw women.

  the recording below runs for 25 minutes.

  The recording came out fine.

  Very interesting. It's amazing to the degree of dishonesty that they actually went to on very basic questions.

  What is interesting is that when you forced out of them the correct answers they took that as you being argumentative and then left on that basis.

  It's a shame you got distracted on the blood topic because what you had originally setup was a very good strategy. Your question to them was what would they do if they disagreed with the blood doctrine. In true JW style they avoided the question.

  just thought id let you all in on some info i found on northeasttruth.com.

  that magical moment where the moon blocks out the sun!

  but only just enough to perfectly cover the suns disc, whilst still allowing us to see the corona of light and other electromagnetic forces radiating from it.. this only happens because the moon diameter is exactly 1/400th the size of the suns and is positioned at exactly 1/400th of the distance between earth and the sun!so, when we see it from the surface of earth, we are in the only place this can ever be seen, at the only time it could ever happen.

  prologos-" extreme celibacy? he would have greatly benefited from a better half."

  LOL...Too true, although it reminds me of a line in a film called 'The Family Way' where a newlywed says to his father that he didn't know he could have so much fun without laughing...

  prologos-"thumbs up, that was a sharp retort.!!"

  Why thank you...

  prologos-" he was a believer, by the way, proving that you do not have to be an atheist to do seminal Sun.Moon,Earth science.,"

  Indeed he was... an avid believer. He was also bonkers.

  Interesting fact about him was that he only ever laughed once in his life. I forget what the condition is called where people don't have the ability to laugh. Joseph Stalin is another one.

  prologos-"how can we justify the mention of fruit in a math/astronomy thread, linked to the uniqueness of our place in spacetime?"

  It worked for Issac Newton... allegedly

  Why are the atheists on this site so hateful?

  by HopeEverLasting in

  1. jw

  all us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.

  we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.

  but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.

  never a jw-"I see you are attempting to undermine my faith. Go TWO hell. I am not listening."

  The trouble with you Two-ists is that you wouldn't know the Two-th if it came up and bit you... twice... on both cheeks.

  shepheardless-" Minor correction to Giles's post: I think an earth year is 365.24 days, so there is an even less of a "numerical reciprocal relationship"."

  Yes true. My calculations were based on the total revolutions the earth makes in a year. I was being kind to atomant by giving the huge 'benifit of the doubt' to his figure of '366 cycles'.

  To be consistent to atomant's equasion, you would need to calculate the amount of days in a sidereal year, which would be 365.25636, or 365.26 days if we round up to two decimal places. You then obviously have to add a day for one annual orbit of the sun hence 366.26 rotations in total.

  But you are correct that in the Gregorian year and the Tropical year there are 365.24 days when rounded up to two decimal places.

  Using 365.24 days in the equasion you end up with 0.0027379, or converted 2738.

  Not quite the figure that atomant is looking for to prove his theory.

  Just realised how much of a nerd I sound. I will stop there.

  Any regrets whilst you were in the Org

  the biggest regret i have is of 'shunning' persons who were disfellowshipped and for 'marking' ones deemed as bad association.. there's no way i can approach these people to ask them for forgiveness as i've emigrated to another country however, by this post i'd like it to be known..

  SB-" My biggest regret was staying pure with my Claudia Cardinale look-alike girlfriend.."

  Not sure if I want to say 'you blithering idiot' or 'you lucky bastard'.

  Claudia Cardinale... stunning.
