Phizzy said: "Oh dear, our friend EP as not read "Origin" or he would realise "Races" is used in the biological sense.
"Let's just stick to discussing facts please." Indeed."

@Phizzy, I never mentioned the word "races" when talking about chapter 8 of Darwin's book. I mentioned genetics. I said Darwin was racist not because of using the word "races" but because of the overall theme of the book/theory.

EasyPrompt said: "Cofty, all of chapter 8 of Darwin's "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" is about genetics."

But as regards that chapter and racism, here is an excerpt:

From Darwin's "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"

https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/darwin/works/origins/ch08.htm

"SLAVE-MAKING INSTINCT.

This remarkable instinct was first discovered in the Formica (Polyerges) rufescens by Pierre Huber, a better observer even than his celebrated father. This ant is absolutely dependent on its slaves; without their aid, the species would certainly become extinct in a single year. The males and fertile females do no work of any kind, and the workers or sterile females, though most energetic and courageous in capturing slaves, do no other work. They are incapable of making their own nests, or of feeding their own larvae. When the old nest is found inconvenient, and they have to migrate, it is the slaves which determine the migration, and actually carry their masters in their jaws. So utterly helpless are the masters, that when Huber shut up thirty of them without a slave, but with plenty of the food which they like best, and with their larvae and pupae to stimulate them to work, they did nothing; they could not even feed themselves, and many perished of hunger. Huber then introduced a single slave (F. fusca), and she instantly set to work, fed and saved the survivors; made some cells and tended the larvae, and put all to rights. What can be more extraordinary than these well-ascertained facts? If we had not known of any other slave-making ant, it would have been hopeless to speculate how so wonderful an instinct could have been perfected.

Another species, Formica sanguinea, was likewise first discovered by P. Huber to be a slave-making ant. This species is found in the southern parts of England, and its habits have been attended to by Mr. F. Smith, of the British Museum, to whom I am much indebted for information on this and other subjects. Although fully trusting to the statements of Huber and Mr. Smith, I tried to approach the subject in a sceptical frame of mind, as any one may well be excused for doubting the existence of so extraordinary an instinct as that of making slaves. Hence, I will give the observations which I made in some little detail. I opened fourteen nests of F. sanguinea, and found a few slaves in all. Males and fertile females of the slave-species (F. fusca) are found only in their own proper communities, and have never been observed in the nests of F. sanguinea. The slaves are black..."

Cofty said: "Darwin had been largely correct"

MeanMrMustard said: "@cofty: Also, remember, you are a racist."

I don't believe in biological evolution, but I do believe in figurative evolution of the heart. Racists/evolutionists can wake up. People can change. "All things are possible with God"🥰

"Also, remember, you are a racist. There's that too - bigot."

You are the one saying it. It's not my theory - it's yours.

Evolutionary theory is a lie. Evolutionary theory is racist. Research the roots. It's founded on falsehood.

I don't believe in racism. Jehovah created Adam. The Human Genome Project shows we all descend from one common ancestor. Variation within a species explains the differences in frame. A common Creator explains the similarities in use of pattern between species. The scientific evidence for creation is solid. Evolution is a lie, and a nasty one at that.

Article: Spain: Jehovah’s Witnesses Win Important Case Against “El Mundo”

by Tahoe in

link to article .

a spanish court ordered the newspaper to publish the reply of the jehovah’s witnesses to a defamatory 2022 article.

the court found the newspaper has been fed false information by an association of disgruntled former witnesses and has uncritically published it.. .

Massimo, you're very talented. Why do you allow the bad guys to use your for their own advancement? The payment you get from the WTBT$ and other religious hypocrites is nothing compared to the riches in love and happiness God holds out for you. You would do better becoming a friend of Jehovah instead of working for His enemies.

@SlidinFast, I didn't "hijack" the thread. Cofty told me to come here after we were talking on the other thread, so I complied with his wishes...

And Cofty, after I answered your question about the teacher thing, you weren't satisfied with the way I answered it and you still didn't proceed with your point until just now. I didn't run away.

Here's the thing: if two JWs come to your door and try to explain their 1914 belief and you say "no, I know it's not true" but they say "here, read this magazine it explains it" and you say "no, I know that magazine doesn't tell the truth" and they say "here, watch this video then" and you say "no, I know that video doesn't tell the truth" and they say "here, read this book" and you say "no, I know that book doesn't have the truth" ...how long will it take for the two JWs to get the point?

All the magazines, the videos, and the books that the JWs want to offer you are from the same publishers, from the WTBT$. Once you are out of the WTBT$ and your eyes are opened to the lies the WTBT$ tells, you can see through the false teachings and it doesn't matter what the JW wants to offer you from the WTBT$ publishers about 1914 - you recognize that anything about that teaching is false.

It's the same with what you're doing. You want me to read another magazine article by evolutionary biologists? I already know the "publishers". I'm not interested. I already know that teaching is false. You can offer me the video, the book, the online article, whatever, I already know it's false.

I didn't run away. There is just no point in talking to JWs who don't want to see that their 1914 is make believe, and it's the same with evolutionary theorists. They already think they know everything, and they will make up stories all day long to support their views.

Your illustration doesn't prove anything, Cofty. It's just a story, like the overlapping generations. That's all evolutionary theory is. Another version of overcrapping generations with "science" vocabulary instead of "theocratic" vocabulary.

Both UMass Boston and USF anthropology departments have classes on biological evolution.

(Did you get a chance to watch that video clip? The young woman does a good job explaining what is typically covered in biological anthropology classes. Here are some topics: Human paleontology, evolutionary biology, genetics, comparative anatomy, primates, molecular anthropology.)

The very first week I learned that no two biological evolutionary theorists agree on the theory. I did some of my coursework there at UMass Boston and some at USF. (I don't know if you saw that part of my transcript was posted on the other thread.) I'm sure that isn't what they intended me to learn - that would undermine their way of making money. The lab work at USF was where we measured "hominid" fossil replicas. There was no rhyme or reason to how they are organized - it was whimsical. (Similar to how Linneas organized critters one way, but they could just as easily be organized another way, that's why scientists don't all agree on the organization. It's just like a closet, you can organize your clothes by color or by season or all long sleeves together or whatever, but it doesn't prove the clothes evolved.) One of my professors had worked with members of the Leakey family before, and I heard how cutthroat some of them acted. There is a lot of competition in parts of the anthropology field. In order to create interest in old bones, you have to have something new to say. In order to get paid, you have to publish or get the attention of whoever is paying your grant money. When we went to the government officials in Tallahassee for grant requests, I saw firsthand why the professor takes young college women along for the request. The government officials enjoy having alcohol and schmoozing at the after hours get togethers. The field is full of corruption just like any other field. Truth is not of the utmost importance in the science field. If you send out to get a carbon-14 test and you don't like the result, you don't include it in your report. I saw how these papers are written, and I know what a lot of the people who write the papers are like. I also worked at Archaeological Consultants Inc. and Panamerican Consultants Inc. during my last year and learned that when preparing reports for archaeological survey or geological survey, a high percentage of the report is just cut and pasted from former "professionals" without question, as if it's rock solid truth, even though none of them were there. Those former "professionals" opinions are all conjecture and some of them don't make any sense, but their opinions are cut and pasted and quoted again and again and again as if it's the solid truth for the primary reason that they are bossy and tenured - it's the same as in the JWBorg. Those at Bethel couldn't go against what CT Russell said until later, and then it had to be gradual. Who in the writing department could go against what Fred Franz said as long as he was around? The truth doesn't get published just because it's true. When there is money involved or power, only certain things will be published and perpetuated.

Anyway, I am not a debater and I don't want to spend time going through every little false teaching. I already know it's fake. I don't want to play games about riddles with teachers. I am telling you the truth.

I don't think I have anything more to say on this thread. I'm bored of getting ridiculed and doubted. I shared what I can, but you can choose what you want to believe. I have love for you, but I'm going to go do some other stuff now.💖

Robert Butler is on the Publishing Committee, the money committee.

"Publishing Committee

This committee supervises the printing and shipping of Bible literature worldwide. It has oversight of printeries and properties owned and operated by the various corporations used by Jehovah’s Witnesses. Funding for branches is approved and arranged for under the direction of the Publishing Committee. It has oversight of issues involving accounting, allowances, budgeting, global health-care arrangements for special full-time servants, humanitarian aid requests, insurance, purchasing, taxes, and other financial matters for branch facilities throughout the world, such as the purchase or sale of real estate, equipment, and vehicles. All Branch Requests (AB-3), Nonliterature Branch Requests (AB-3a), and other budget approvals are processed and approved under the direction of this committee. It oversees arrangements for the construction, renovation, and maintenance of all the organization’s facilities, including branches, remote translation offices,missionary homes, schools, Kingdom Halls, and Assembly Halls.

Expenditures of up to USD 2,000,000 will be approved by the Publishing Committee. The Governing Body, however, is responsible for approving major real estate transactions and significant construction projects involving the expenditure of more than USD 2,000,000. In most cases, Branch Committees will present the details of such projects to the Publishing Committee, and thereafter, the matter will be presented to the Governing Body."

Norway JWBorg news - WTBT$ demands subsidy despite their loss of religious status

(from article...)

"Jehovah's Witnesses demand 35 million in state subsidies"

"Last year, Jehovah's Witnesses were deprived of state subsidies for 2021 and their registration as a religious community. They demand NOK 35 million in support for the last two years."

"It was last year that it became known that Jehovah's Witnesses lost both state subsidies for 2021 and registration as a religious community. However, Jehovah's Witnesses disagree with the decision.

- We are convinced that Jehovah's Witnesses meet all the legal requirements to receive state subsidies, and that is the reason why we have applied for state subsidies also for 2022 and 2023, writes Fabian Fond, spokesperson for Jehovah's Witnesses' information department in Scandinavia, in an email to Our Country.

In total, they believe they are entitled to around NOK 35 million for 2022 and 2023, Fond informs.

Their reasoning is that Jehovah's Witnesses were registered as a religious community at the time they applied for support. According to the Religious Communities Act, only registered religious communities can request state subsidies.

The religious community has also chosen to take legal action against the state. The trial will take place in Oslo District Court in January next year." (translated by Google)

😆Now, MeanMrMustard, you're taking what I said out of context...the BITE model shows that cultastic people do have certain tendencies. The photos of Hitler, Pol Pot, and Stalin were examples to show the extreme tendencies of some evolutionary theorist believers. I put the photo there because I had an idea that someone might express doubts that evolutionary theorists can be culty, but the evidence shows the truth.

I didn't say you were a bad guy, just like I don't think individual JWs are bad just because they belong to a cult. I love JWs as individuals, and I love evolutionary theorists as individuals. My point was that evolutionary theory leads to dangerous places, just like the unscriptural doctrines of the FD$ and disfellowshipping do. Out of love, I will continue to expose those dangers to others when it is the appropriate time.
