  Question for people who believe in Evolution

  by ttte36 in

  2. beliefs

  though school i did religious education and my teacher who was religious ruled out evolution because humans are the only creatures who do not want to die, can anyone who understands evolution explain this?.

  im 99% on to the theory of evolution, this is just the last stumbling block..

  If your are referring to humans as being self aware or sentient beings, we are not the only species that are self aware or sentient. Google it.

  Reminds me of the suck holes down where I worked. The ones that wanted to look important would carry a file folder around with them.

  Yeah I have seen that commercial before but I didn't put it together but now you mention it is does sound like an old Kingdum Song. I can't remember the name of the song.

  Whats with the ears?
  

  Also I liked to add, I tried watching this video. I could only view about half of it. It was painful to watch with his monotone voice, was enough to put you to sleep. I have read that this is part of mind control techniques to kind of talk in a hypnotic tone.

  How can the WT actually put his words into quotations if he was misquoted? That is out and out dishonest. Also don't hold your breath waiting for an apology from the WT.

  I recall the Branch Overseer for Canada was a Ken Little. I am not sure if he is still alive as he has been in that position since the 60's 70's.

  Agree with William.. a lot of them are weird..

  I just think the cult attracts very dysfunctional, approval seeking type people.

  Theories on the increasing appearances of the new GB aide?

  by Lemonp in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have noticed that younger guy appearing more and more on jw tv and in special talks.

  can't remember his name but he is middle aged, greying, but has a business exec look about him.. is this guy the next gen of gb members?

  or is he just an aide to help them about etc?

  I would think it is all to do with marketing. That is why the GB has being getting younger over the last 10 years. In order for the cult to survive they have to start attracting the 35 and under crowd. A bunch of old 80 year old men will not just not cut it.

  The first picture might have been staged for the camera. The second one is funny. His hand under the water looks like he is moving back and forth and then the look on his face is priceless.
