  New Homo erectus Skull Shakes up Palaeontology

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  a fantastic homo erectus skull has been found in georgia - no not our former colony, the one in asia.. it is one of 5 that have been found at a site in dmanisi, it's the first homo erectus to be found outside of africa and it is in excellent condition.

  the fossils are dated at 1.8 million years ago and comparisions of the specimens have thrown doubt over the details of human evolution.. it is possible that species previously named as h rudolfensis , h gautengensis , h ergaster and possibly h habilis were actually all h erectus.

  the natural variation withing the species may be greater than thought previously.. the "lumpers" and the "splitters" are going to have plenty to argue about for years to come.. note to creationists - please read the article carefully.

  So if I stood on the earth, with 4 coins in my pocket and a orange in my hand, I can't presume to know if the orange is in fact sweet, even if I taste it, or even if the earth I am standing on is round or flat.

  The SBF style of questioning everything and it all being about perspective reminds me of The Mighty Boosh episode Jungle. The character Tommy taught Howard Moon to never stop questioning the nature of reality.

  We all dream...... But do we really dream.

  Okay, I think the thread is off topic enough now....... But is it really off topic?

  An honest report of the accomplishments of Jesus since 1914

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not much.. he is directing the watchtower society to print magazines that contain errors.. the goats he separated from the sheep have had to be put back in with the sheep because of policy changes.. stray sheep have been ostracized and turned into lamb stew.. the war to end all wars (wwi) has been followed by wwii, korea, viet nam, and the cold one.

  (no need to mention the war on terror.).

  there have been earthquakes, famine, disease and a lot of marrying and eating at fine restaurants.. 1925 came and went without any ancient worthies moving in to the residence at beth sarim.. the world got so dangerous in 1975 nobody noticed it.. the generation that saw all the signs and wonders had been dropping dead like flies.

  JWs and pessimism

  by elisaporquien in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there are people who are pessimistic, optimistic, cynical or whatever.

  i've noticed that ever since my sister became a jw she's become very pessimistic about life now (present time).

  i love and care about her but her pessimism sometimes brings me down (emotionally).

  For JWs life in "this system" is to be endured, not enjoyed. They are taught to focus on the "real life", which is coming real soon.

  It is a warped and delusional kind of pessimism.

  Disney and NBC need to make a profit, the Watchtower Society is supposed to be a charity.

  This is what pisses me off. All the tax this giant money making corporation does not pay because it is apparently running a charity for public benefit.

  Just found the article online. You have got to love those celebrated Watchtower scholars.

  "The Bible Students spent decades pointing out that the year 1914 would be significant."

  Sounds better than saying that The Bible Students spent decades promoting false prophecy....

  What the hell!?......

  16 The second group included in “this generation” are anointed contemporaries of the first group. They were not simply alive during the lifetime of those in the first group, but they were anointed with holy spirit during the time that those of the first group were still on earth. Thus, not every anointed person today is included in “this generation” of whom Jesus spoke. Today, those in this second group are themselves advancing in years. Yet, Jesus’ words at Matthew 24:34 give us confidence that at least some of “this generation will by no means pass away” before seeing the start of the great tribulation.

  I can't beleive these freaking desperate charlatans are having a another crack at the, "this generation is getting old now, the end must be real soon" trick. Only this time, it makes even less sense.

  The bible says this generation. The WTS says this means two overlapping generations. And if the end doesn't come in the second overlapping generations lifetime, it could well mean three generations. Awesome stuff.

  Well an Elder told me why all the new revised NWT bibles are grey/gray in color

  by StoneWall in

  2. friends

  while in discussion with an elder from my old congregation, he asked if i had been given an opportunity to see the new bibles yet.. i told him yes that a family member had showed me one a few days back and some of the improvements (changes) that were in it.. as our conversation went along he asked me what i thought of the color.

  i said well its certainly different from the black cover i was so used to or even going back further a few decades the green covered bibles when i was a child.

  (we both got a chuckle out of that).
