Here is an excellent video that explains how “micro” becomes “macro” while deconstructing the incorrect idea that there was ever a first human:

340Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution
by dubstepped inso i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.
i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.
i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

Is The Earth Really Flat?
“It wouldn’t be fair to just assume the Earth is round or that the Earth is flat without taking a look at the evidence.”
“There is a whole belief system in place that covers every aspect of a flat Earth.”
Evidence or beliefs .... hmm, which should I choose?

New Letter: Announcements and Reminders
by Brian J inletter dated 1/1/2018.
i know they are trying to simplify but it all is such a confusing mess.... forms, dates, calculators, committees, logins, publisher record cards.....jesus would barf.
to all bodies of elders re: announcements and reminders dear brothers: in an effort to reduce the number of letters sent to all bodies of elders and congregations, most announcements from the branch office will now be conveyed to congregations by means of the announcements and reminders (s-147) form.

And this good news of the Announcements and Reminders will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the congregations and then the end will come ... soon, after an unknown number of overlapping generations. - Anthony 24:14

Where to draw the line: how Platonism haunts our discourse and the search for exorcism
by slimboyfat inin the discussion about race i adopted a position i am not entirely comfortable with.
i think there is a sense in which it is useful to distinguish categories of description that can be fruitfully defended (apples and bananas) and those that cannot (caucasian or other racial descriptions for example).
but there is a more fundamental sense in which i believe that everything is socially constructed, every single line you can think of.

CG: Isn't it time to move on?
Great idea. Why don’t you?
Move on. Get lost. Hit the road. Skeedaddle.
What’s it to you if we discuss this until the end it time?

Leviticus 19:22 - 29:
Some of the wicked men of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they shouted to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him.”
23 The owner of the house went outside and said to them, “No, my friends, don’t be so vile. Since this man is my guest, don’t do this outrageous thing. 24 Look, here is my virgin daughter, and his concubine. I will bring them out to you now, and you can use them and do to them whatever you wish. But as for this man, don’t do such an outrageous thing.”
25 But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. 26 At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight.
27 When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. 28 He said to her, “Get up; let’s go.” But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.
29 When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb by limb, into twelve parts and sent them into all the areas of Israel.
Good times, good times!

SBF: I think there might be a real God behind the Bible.
If you're right, then please tell that fucker I hate him. He is a horrible, horrible being as Dawkins described. Worse, actually.
I've told him myself but he never responded.
