Chemists claim to have solved riddle of how life began on Earth

by glenster in

(phys.org)a team of chemists working at the mrc laboratory of molecular biology, at cambridge in the uk believes they have solved the mystery of how it was possible for life to begin on earth over four billion years ago.

in their paper published in the journal nature chemistry, the team describes how they were able to map reactions that produced two and three-carbon sugars, amino acids, ribonucleotides and glycerolthe material necessary for metabolism and for creating the building blocks of proteins and ribonucleic acid molecules and also for allowing for the creation of lipids that form cell membranes.. scientists have debated for years the various possibilities that could have led to life evolving on earth, and the arguments have only grown more heated in recent years as many have suggested that it did not happen here it all, instead, it was brought to us from comets or some other celestial body.

most of the recent debate has found scientists in one of three chicken-or-the-egg first camps: rna world advocates, metabolism-first supporters and those who believe that cell membranes must have developed first.

Thanks for the update sounds pretty logical and straight forword.

JW Child Abuse Makes 'Private Eye'

by Joe Grundy in

following on from the recent thread about wt losing an appeal concerning the uk charity commission (sorry, i can't do the link) i'm pleased to report that this matter is covered in the latest 'private eye' (20 march - 2 april issue).. it's a one-third page article (p.34) under the heading 'child abuse' and the headline 'silent witnesses'.

it reports the case accurately, mentions several criminal cases and the ongoing high court compensation case.

it includes some of judge mckenna's comments..

Boy Jehovah's Organization should welcome the paying of taxes just like Jesus their head and they his bride class or something should follow through and help society out by paying taxes on everything just like a normal business selling what ever.

But they are penny pinching business men and not brides of Christ so they are not gonna like it.

CO kept mispronouncing "debt"

by Red Piller in

so, this happened a while ago - but i never posted on it.

during a co visit, he gave a talk relating to jesus ransom (i think) and the "debt" that was owed by sin, etc.... he kept saying "debt" and he kept pronouncing the "b".

so it sounded like "deb-t".

Hey with the big enforced ban on higher education, and forced retirement with no benefits for severence pay they are forced to scrap the bottom of barrel to find circuit overseers to fill that job because no one in their right mind wants it even among JWs.

Hasta la Vista,.. I'm outta here

by insidetheKH in

jw
friends

the time has come to leave this forum.

this is my last post.

mission completed.

What the wife caught you post comment on a JW discussion group? I hope she don't go to the elders or your'e toast.

Anyway you need a vacation from all this tension that comes from keeping a delusion alive in discussions with this group. Maybe you could join a nice safe(but boring) closely monitored "JW only" group if that is more your speed or liking.

Well I hope you found what ever it is you were looking for, thanks for the visit and you know where we are and you are welcome back any time.

These guys on the Governing Body are getting ready to fleece the flock for what ever they can get, this video gives the mind set that the Corporation sets their goal and what they should put first in their life(a mindless slave for the corporation).

These guys are just so blatant I hope it all back fires on them and the vast majority of JW children can't wait to get out from under thumb.

Is there a Child Molester on the Governing Body?

by TTATTelder in

great report by abc on the abuses in jw-dot-org land.... i hope it opens a "floodgate" of future news reports and exposes.

if you ask yourself, "why hasn't the watchtower leadership changed their policy on the 2 witness rule?

if one or more persons on the gb has victims out there that can't come forward because of the 2 witness rule, then that would explain the permanent road block to policy change that is obviously in place.

Brokeback Watchtower

I guess we can speculate all we want on that question and come up with all sorts of biased reasoning. I would think that there is the possibility, these guys say that they abhor it in an official statement to the public but have absolutely no pity for the children harmed by their keeping things hush hush about a person guilty of it. They also believe that they are in charge of God's organization and will do almost any deceptive thing to keep God's organization from getting a black eye.

Could a person who is a child molester make it all the way to the top of the corporation and become a Governing Body member? Yes I think that's what Greenlees was so I would say the possibility very real. But I'm sure if anyone of these guys ever was for sure he kept it hidden from this Governing Body.

I guess that's all I can speculate on for what ever good it does?

Send In The Clowns

by OneFingerSalute in

as i sat through another mind numbing sermon this morning i could not help thinking that the speaker was a total clown.. lime green suit, white shirt, yellow tie, blue socks barely higher than his ankle, brown shoes, and an orange cast.

all that was missing was a big red rubber nose!

and of course everyone remarked what a wonderful talk he gave.

Brokeback Watchtower

I mean the message sounds kind of wacky God that must have been murder to sit through, I remember those mind numbing days of tedious boredom and the struggle to listen to incoherence beyond belief.

Shorter meetings for field service

by hoser in

march kingdom ministry insert is about how the field service meetings will be shortened from 10 to 15 minutes down to 5 to 7 minutes.

they want the publishers to report more hours.

in my experience the problem isn't the length of the meeting for service but pioneers and publishers dogging it after the service arrangement.

Jehovah the Corporate mascot has determined that people need to get off the corporate asses and peddle more corporation goods to more doors instead of wasting time chit chatting about what the bible text for the day has to do with more corporation free service. Get out there and do your work you good for nothing slaves, and stop wasting corporate time on feel good coffee and donuts breaks and hit those doors and make those return visits. The Faithful and Discreet Slave has spoke so shut up and just listen and obey us!
