Sparlock Toy

friends

i wasn't around when the sparlock thing hit about 11 years ago, but it became such a meme that that debacle still gets mentioned from time to time.

one thing that came up in conversations of the time was about how dumb the name was; that someone in bethel could have come up with a less lame name.

i think that that bethelite was trying to be clever by using "warlock" as the stem and dropping the "w".

I have not insulted anyone.

I shared Darwin's own words. Darwin was a racist and Darwin was a misogynist. Cofty said that he thinks Darwin was right.

You call me a "troll" when I speak the truth, but that's because you are in a cult. The WTBT$ calls people "apostates" when someone tells the truth about the fraud and hypocrisy in the WTBT$. The evolutionary theorist vocabulary just switches the insult. You call me a "troll" because that's your version of calling me an "apostate" for not believing in your hypocritical and fraudulent evolutionary theory.

If you were confident in your opinion, you wouldn't feel so threatened by the truth.

Now you've got it, MeanMrMustard! Except you forgot two things...

(1) Marital status can change, and...

(2) Evolutionary theorists are not just racist, they're also misogynistic.

In his 1871 book The Descent of Man Charles Darwin wrote: “The chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is [shown] by man attaining to a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than woman can attain--whether requiring deep thought, reason or imagination, or merely the use of the senses and hands.” He added, “Thus man has ultimately become superior to woman.” (quoted from article: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/darwin-was-sexist-and-so-are-many-modern-scientists/ )

Some excerpts from Darwin's "The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex" 1871...

https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/2300/pg2300-images.html

"Now, when two men are put into competition, or a man with a woman, both possessed of every mental quality in equal perfection, save that one has higher energy, perseverance, and courage, the latter will generally become more eminent in every pursuit, and will gain the ascendancy. (24. J. Stuart Mill remarks (‘The Subjection of Women,’ 1869, p. 122), “The things in which man most excels woman are those which require most plodding, and long hammering at single thoughts.” What is this but energy and perseverance?) He may be said to possess genius—for genius has been declared by a great authority to be patience; and patience, in this sense, means unflinching, undaunted perseverance. But this view of genius is perhaps deficient; for without the higher powers of the imagination and reason, no eminent success can be gained in many subjects. These latter faculties, as well as the former, will have been developed in man, partly through sexual selection,—that is, through the contest of rival males, and partly through natural selection, that is, from success in the general struggle for life; and as in both cases the struggle will have been during maturity, the characters gained will have been transmitted more fully to the male than to the female offspring. It accords in a striking manner with this view of the modification and re-inforcement of many of our mental faculties by sexual selection, that, firstly, they notoriously undergo a considerable change at puberty (25. Maudsley, ‘Mind and Body,’ p. 31.), and, secondly, that eunuchs remain throughout life inferior in these same qualities. Thus, man has ultimately become superior to woman...."

"It must be borne in mind that the tendency in characters acquired by either sex late in life, to be transmitted to the same sex at the same age, and of early acquired characters to be transmitted to both sexes, are rules which, though general, do not always hold. If they always held good, we might conclude (but I here exceed my proper bounds) that the inherited effects of the early education of boys and girls would be transmitted equally to both sexes; so that the present inequality in mental power between the sexes would not be effaced by a similar course of early training; nor can it have been caused by their dissimilar early training. In order that woman should reach the same standard as man, she ought, when nearly adult, to be trained to energy and perseverance, and to have her reason and imagination exercised to the highest point; and then she would probably transmit these qualities chiefly to her adult daughters. All women, however, could not be thus raised, unless during many generations those who excelled in the above robust virtues were married, and produced offspring in larger numbers than other women. As before remarked of bodily strength, although men do not now fight for their wives, and this form of selection has passed away, yet during manhood, they generally undergo a severe struggle in order to maintain themselves and their families; and this will tend to keep up or even increase their mental powers, and, as a consequence, the present inequality between the sexes. (26. An observation by Vogt bears on this subject: he says, “It is a remarkable circumstance, that the difference between the sexes, as regards the cranial cavity, increases with the development of the race, so that the male European excels much more the female, than the negro the negress. Welcker confirms this statement of Huschke from his measurements of negro and German skulls...."

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..."

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.

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.💖
