Welcome to the matrix! You are peeling off the layers and and using you critical thinking skills. I have to be honest, even as a little boy the idea of millions of species fitting into one ark is simply preposterous.
ok this is something have been wondering.
has anyone heard any explanation from jws as to how egypt, which even the wt admits existed 4600 years ago, was eliminated by a global flood but resumed a few short years later with the same culture, language etc.
the pyramids are older than the wt date for the flood.

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.

see acts 20:26-28.. if we do not speak out now, at this time, then no elder in any body of elders from around the world, will be able to repeat the words of paul, with a clear conscience.
Great sites indeed! Their is a storm brewing...
even in the united states, where religion still enjoys perhaps the greatest popularity, nearly three out of four persons polled said that it is losing influence.
one of the reasons is that people are disturbed by what is happening in their churches.
yes, millions of persons have been shocked to learn that things they were taught as being vital for salvation are now considered by their church to be wrong.

Is that an actual pic from the mag? The horsmen look more menacing...
when i read online forums about when someone dies or something bad happens, people comment saying "sending prayers".. i wonder, why, what for?
prayers have not brought anyone back from the dead.
have they healed anyone?
Prayer to me is like meditating. In what way is it similar? We all know that prayer is when you think a God can hear you, but just like meditation can help you evaluate the situation and know yourself better. Prayer can help you focus your thoughts and concentrate on how to get out of a difficult situation. But when people start to think that you have super natural powers when praying, and that all the small things in life are controlled through prayer, that's when it turns into superstition.
when i come accross these coined phrase like "theocratic school" i wonder if it really is time to live a theocracy on earth, and it it is not an exageration by gb to make people think they occupy a undisputable place in that theocracy where anybody who challenges them, challenges theos.. is the theocratic attitude on earth christian?
what do you think guys?.
Theocracy is just like Hitchens said: 'a celestial North Korea'. Theocracy is another form of absolute control of another person and that in itself is deplorable. As a JW I always wondered what theocracy really meant and what it would be like, but the way the WT presents its theocracy only looks good on paper just like communism.
between two congregations that i know of four elders have stepped down in the last two months!
there is something really going on in this mandmade organization!
it's busting at the seams!.
It's a busniness and cult!
