  Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.

  there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.

  there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

  "If all living things evolved from a common ancestor then we can make a prediction about the differences between the Cytochrome C protein in different species. We would expect them to differ from each other in a predictable way that mirrors their evolutionary history."

  Pseudoscience BS ...like I was saying. You make up high sounding blather and try to pass it off as science. There is no "evolutionary history" to match. That cart is in front of the horse and it don't run.

  "Predictable " ...please.

  So, whatshall, ...you think that pasting a pic of Pat Stewart in his role as star fleet dude is science that proves you correct?

  What the evolutionary "thinkers" believe is that if you find common traits between two things, one of those things came from the other spontaneously.

  That about sums up all the "links" above.

  Evolutionists offer no proof that spontaneous and beneficial mutations have ever taken place. They just have "faith" that it does.

  I know there are plenty of evolutionists here, and I know how they behave towards those who will not accept their nonsense. They are rude and forceful, just like the rest of the evolutionary society who rams their ideas down the throats of society and steamroll over anyone who objects.

  In rejecting Watchtower, which I applaud, most discard everything. They adopt and angry, in your face denial of true science, in favor of pseudoscientific garble.

  ok. Let m have your anger.

  2017 Sunday RC Final Talk & Comments About 1975

  by baldeagle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many of us here have commented on the deceitful friday afternoon video shown at the 2017 rc that discussed 1975.. the video attempted to shift the blame onto congregation members for the fiasco saying, "some were looking to a certain date as signifying the end of this old system of things.".

  this same video mentions how, “a few even went so far as selling their homes and quitting their jobs.”.

  we all know that the wt leadership created this teaching and endorsed it right up to its abject failure.. now below is the concluding talk given on sunday at the rc.

  It's interesting to be exposed to both those who defend the watchtower blindly to the end on the 1975 issue and also those who are irritated by it, yet stick, somehow, to the organization through it all.

  For they who accept the biblical account, or at least the historical one, the majority of Jews in Jerusalem stayed till the Romans butchered them like cattle. (see Josephus)

  I imagine their blessed religious leaders were there to keep them all in line so that the Roman Machine could grind their bones to powder.

  Can't find "hot" article through the WT Library Search?

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  2. bible

  i just saw a video from mike and kim where (@6:00) she says:.

  you know what i noticed in the new watchtower cd-roms?

  is when you do a search for certain things that they would deem maybe apostates or certain questions, you can't find them in the search.. i know that sometimes, they get carried away and are not always factual.

  "Today, a Christian who serves only because he wants to live forever in Paradise could also be serving with a selfish motive."

  (First, they make you feel evil for wanting to live forever and then go right on to dangle that same carrot again)

  "Today, over six million true worshippers ...Are you one of them? If not, then mediate on what God offers .... THE HOPE OF LIVING FOREVER "

  And the dubs never seem to see through this crap.

  I'd like to see this question on the nursing exam.

  Is it okay to browse through Jehovah's Witnesses patient records, whether these patients are in hospital or not, to discern if these patients are compliant with the Watchtower governing body latest dogma on blood transfusion?

  Is it okay to report to your elders the names of any Jehovah's Witnesses who have information in their records indicating that they have accepted or will accept blood products disallowed by Watchtower dogma?

  Another day, another cart

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was standing at a red light and i noticed the little cart standing there.

  they're barely noticeable and when i continued there was apparently someone on the other side of the street too.

  the only problem, the location is a very busy intersection which has virtually no foot traffic and they're hard to see to begin with, as you can see from my vantage point i couldn't even read the cart and three people next to them on this side and two of them on the other side.. .

  What would happen if you stopped, threw the cart in your trunk and drove away?

  Would the little old lady chase you down? Her granny stockings sliding down as she ran... pee herself maybe...

  Say she takes down the plate number. So what. Even if the cops came, you simply ask ...wasn't the damned thing free? If it ain't free, what is it there fore anyhow?

  Finders keepers anyway.

  Or, if you are walking by, you grab an arm load of watchtower bologna. Just keep walkin'. Toss it in the trash around the block and go for another pass. So what. What are they going to say or do?

  Or dump a load of sticky rancid juice all over it. LOL

  There's plenty of information concerning the why's and wherefor's. Putin is building a youth army and some have compared this to Hitler's plan. Putin is modernizing his army and navy and to go along with its new firepower, he needs young boots, men and women. Tanks and jets don't drive themselves you know. That is, unless Putin starts working with Google for self driving tanks.
