  Would some of us be better off as Witnesses?

  by Jerry Bergman in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have often wondered if many people would be better off if they stayed witnesses.

  some people i have known have really gone off the deep end after they left the watchtower.

  most all of my family have left now (not due to me as i was cut off from them for years) and many others i know who have left are now bitter atheists or have become pagans and worship stones or new ageers playing with crystals.

  "Evolution and racism are the same thing," declares Jerry Bergman (McIver 1990:21; see Bergman's "Evolution and the Development of Nazi Race Policy" in Bible-Science Newsletter [1988] and articles in Creation Research Society Quarterly [1980], CSSHQ [1986], and Creation Ex Nihilo Technical Journal [1991, 1992]).[2]

  [2] Bergman has been featured in many creationist publications for his complaint that he was denied tenure and dismissed from Bowling Green State University "solely because of my beliefs and publications in the area of creationism"; a cover story, for instance, in the Creation Science Legal Defense Fund's magazine Creation ("The Jerry Bergman Story," 1984). In Bergman's The Criterion (preface by Wendell Bird, foreword by John Eidsmoe), Luther Sunderland said Bergman was fired "solely" because of his religious beliefs--his creationism (1984:64). But in a signed letter published in David Duke's National Association of White People newsletter, Bergman stated that "reverse [racial] discrimination was clearly part of the decision"--i.e., that it was *not* solely religious discrimination (Bergman 1985:2).

  See here http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/racism.html

  and how about this for intellectual honesty:

  Jerry Bergman, in an article about Nebraska Man ( The History of Hesperopithecus haroldcookii Hominoidea , Creation Science Research Quarterly, 30:27-34, 1993) makes the following statement:

  Nebraska man also had a great patriotic significance because it was the first evidence, according to Osborn,

  after seventy-five years of continuous search in all parts of our great Western territory of a [higher] primate. Evidence of this anthropoid ape-man was also proof that some primitive humans lived in America, and some speculated that it may even prove that mankind in North America predated European and African humans. We have all eagerly looked forward to such a discovery (quoted in Blinderman, 1985, p.48)

  However, the quoted paper (Blinderman 1985: The curious case of Nebraska man. Science 85, June:47-9) makes no such statement! Blinderman said:

  So Nebraska Man had great patriotic significance. "This is the very first evidence," Osborn wrote, "after seventy-five years of continuous search in all parts of our great western territory, of a [higher] Primate. ... we have all eagerly looked forward to such a discovery ...." (ellipses by Blinderman)

  The references to "ape-man" and "proof" were added, either by Bergman or by a source which he copied from. In fact, although Osborn did misidentify the Nebraska Man tooth as a primate, he deliberately did not make any claims to its status as an ape-man.

  So yes perhaps you would have been better off to remain a JW!!!

  Does a cloned human have a soul? If so does that mean God gave it life? Did he impant the soul? Does he therefore approve of cloning?

  If not do clones just die and not go to heaven or to hell?

  An ass wants to know...

  PS - the church wants to know: does the clone have money? Then it has a soul....

  Donkey's never-ending atheism thread

  by donkey in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wih the permission of simon, i would like to start a thread to act as a collection of thought, quotes and miscellany on atheism and agnosticism.

  there are so many other threads on this subject but no one place which one can go to on here.

  i have much to share - enjoy and contribute with me please.give me the storm and stress of thought and action rather than the dead calm of ignorance and faith.

  History doomed to repeat itself...

  another fine example of the violation of civil liberties perpetrated by the bush administration / ashcroft-led justice department under the guise of fighting "terror.

  is this not "terror" in itself?

  at what point is it acceptable for the american people to allow such actions to be committed against fellow american citizens simply because these people are of arab descent?

  Focus,

  Are you a false prophet? Are you trying to mislead this poor ass over here?

  Of course people who know better don't expect anything better from Island Woman than a bunch of silly accusations. I don't expect you will any apology from her.

  But then what does a donkey know?

  You can thank the Catholic (pagan) Church for picking December 25th as the date

  Swedish Meathead (dead from the neck up),

  Why do you have to belittle anyone who doesn't share your in your fanaticism? Are you the next one on the board to turn into a revisionist?

  Focus,

  So some people who were alive in 1914 will still be alive when this system comes to its end. That generation of people is now very advanced in years, indicating that there is not much time left before God brings this present system of things to an end.

  This is on their site at http://www.watchtower.org/library/pr/index.htm?article=article_07.htm

  I have it embedded in the frame here:
