Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy

by cofty in

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.

I have many leather bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogeny. It makes it hard to except evidence.

Dam it, I missed it!

by DwainBowman in

i missed the jw, history making, all new mid week meeting!

and i am just so torn up over it, i've had a few drinks to drown my deep sorrow in, missing such a once in a lifetime event!.

oh how can i ever get over, such a lost opportunity like that, just don't know if i'll never get over it!.

That's a shame. I heard they rocked a samba as the closing note.

I predicted a lottery number from a pattern, is the lottery NOT random or is random held to a universal force?

by EndofMysteries in

i've studied and observed several lottery patterns.

this one is now gone so nothing lost by revealing it.

i had a certain history search and noticed that almost each week the past few months a list of numbers not used recently were being used 1 per week.

I heard a bunch of elderly JW ladies predict the lotto numbers while they were talking about removing the WTS from their respective wills. True story.

Fishing and JW's???

by lurkernomore in

so i was just reading a thread and came across a completely new jw 'rule', that of not being allowed to go fishing!..

at least it's new to me as i always enjoyed fishing as did others in my old congregation.

anyone else heard of this or had this imposed on them in they're jw lives?.

Plenty of JWs fish and I even know a few that hunt, on the east coast of Australia.

Plenty of self-righteous JWs judge those who hunt or even fish.

Is the Watchtower organisation facing the biggest crisis of its history?

by slimboyfat in

recent developments make me think they might be.

the problems they are facing are not just lack of funds but also draining authority, and the two could be a heady and explosive mix.

one of the best analyses ever written of the watchtower was a book called "trumpet of prophecy" by sociologist james beckford in the 1970s.

I think the crisis they have, is simply a massive stinking pile of theology bullshit, that has been piling up layer upon layer for decades now.

And didn't I read something somewhere about somewhat of a pedophile infestation or something about child sex offenders running rampant in the JW religion or something maybe on JW TV or in the JW org? Maybe something very serious that has been covered over and hidden from authorities somewhat? Surely they don't have lists of pedophile scum that they keep secret?? Could it be a crisis?
