last night's meeting finished the imitation faith of No ah. questioning experts: How many species or kinds would be surviving with only one male and one female left in the wild, with predation now suddenly rampant ? Even Noah's family trying to hunt down the 5 clean ones to sacrifice and eat? thimk!

Does this fact in it`s own right , prove the Garden Of Eden story false to be no more than a fable ?
by smiddy inthinking about life in general reflecting on the abundance of life on this planet , it became obvious to me that every living thing , those flying in the heavens ,living on the earth , or existing in the oceans , is all possible for one reason , and one reason only.. every living thing exists at the expense of the death of some other living thing , life and death go hand in hand.. the same is true even in the microscopic world .. every living thing feeds off some other unfortunate living thing.that`s nature at its most basic observation , but true.. what the noachian flood story overlooks is the vast amount of living marine life that existed and flourished and not influenced or affected by what supposedly went on , on land.. 99.9 % of all living creatures if not 100% live by the death of some other living creature and the same would have to be true in the garden of eden if it was to have existed in the first place .. no thing can live if it does not devour some other living thing .
a fact of life .. apologists are welcome to support god , by suggesting miraculous interventions by god that have no scriptual basis.
i guess any nature video of the animal kingdom , marine life in the oceans , or videos of the bird life , as in nature series should make this clear .. smiddy.

In the narrative, The G.O.D .figure is the only carnivore, even bringing 5 extra, additional clean mammals into the ark to be killed later to sate his appetite. functioned fairly well indeed. added:
In the real world, predation has to happen to keep nature in balance. its messy, but you can not just have carrion eaters, individuals just refuse to die if given the choice. how about you and me?

Religion spoils the real truth? What are your thoughts.
by punkofnice ini can see how science is answering our questions.
okay, that's a sweeping statement, but it's the best way my empty head can express it.
i'm not sure if we're evolving as a species...that's another subject i admit to not reading about.

Real truth? These events, in the world in the headlines are driven by young people, the king of Jordan called it the result of a generation gap. Can another dark age come because of this conflict? Curiosity outlawed because of gaming being taken into the streets? perhaps the hope for science to flourish is in more regimented surroundings? many questions in your OP. -

Eden seem to have been pictured as an enclosure, with gates. Is it conceivable that animal carcasses could be degraded by vegetation, mushrooms? Is there even a record of animals in the garden apart from one snake? and it was eating not eggs, rodents but dust? That brings into focus all the meat was perhaps burned, like by Abel on the Altar or just buried before the flies could lay their eggs on ti? decay, turned directly into hey?
Hiring competent writers was not the strong point of the supposed G.O.D.

Too Much Discontent in the Congregation Part 3
by Simon Templar innow, 80-85 years later, we are still here.
if i was to do the counsel with a brother who had this much experience, i would have just thanked him for doing the talk, and marked him good on the point.
this is a good way to get money though.

One cheerful and lucid 100+ old sister loudly greeted all visitors from the hall with; "have they announced a new date for Armageddon yet? the stalwarts in the ward had to grin and bear it.

next time, bring your own tools, if you cut your finger, or ear( remember peter) it is not our equipments fault.
If you don't have your own tools, you are probably not proficient anyway. and if you still work for free, there might be something wrong with you, and you are a danger to others.

What is the org’s view on extraterrestrial life?
by My Name is of No Consequence ini am sure that it has been discussed before.
but just out of curiosity, what is the orgs view on extraterrestrial life?
the org certainly agrees that the universe is infinitely large.

There was an obscure reference once in the awake, 60s,70s, that said that "We are not mandated yet to colonize other worlds" so rather alien life already there it was the private opinion of that writer (it looked like he snug that tidbit in) , rather than extraterrestrials already being there, we would go there to make it so. perhaps by an extra-terrest-trial resurrection.
How many stars, planets have already died, whose light has not arrived yet?

Hypothetical Question...
by JW_Rogue ini was just thinking that the org has said lots of outrageous things over it's history and most jws just continue onward without a second thought.
so my question is what do you think would have to be said from the platform or wt to get people to get up and walk out immediately?
is it even possible?

Once you believe the story about walking on water, the rest is easy, you'll believe anything.
