i am asking this questions due to the teachings, beliefs and practices of different religions..
You can hardly expect to find truth from such a strongly biased narrow minded way of black and white thinking? Common sense says a resounding: NO !
I think religions that gives you absolutes like that need to be put on community board watch out for list. And flush their bull shit down the toilet and fine the dirty shit head for spreading their bull shit on the public in court.
the reasoning behind the thread''s title was developed by a team looking at the teaching of evolution.
"the team, led by professor laurence hurst at the milner centre for evolution, university of bath hypothesised that since core concepts of genetics (such as dna and mutation) are so intimately linked to the core concepts of evolution, then priming students with genetics information might help their understanding of evolution.

The Watchtower Corporation hopes to keep it membership for as long as possible believing in the unscientific bull shit they base their major non profit $$$$ from to keep expanding but seems to be in a bit of decline which spells bankruptcy religion or not.
Anyway Profits are on a sharp decline as internet access expands so say bye bye to these religious frauds. No matter how fast they can they can liquidate all potential kingdom hall grabs and kicking the elderly on skid row in gratitude for all the hard work they did for them getting their slave labor from these gullible.

DNA proves that we evolved which flushes the Watchtower corporation's defense for man's creation happening around 4 thousand something BC right down the toilet of discarded ignorance.
Anyway it don't take a rocket scientist to find out the WT is full of shit. Just a little common sense and the internet at you finger tips, just ask Google.
i pretty much did it all.
vacation pioneered as a youngster and became a regular pioneer out of school.
i became a ms then an elder.....the organization pushes you to be somebody within the confines of their realm.
I climbed up to bull shit elder, after a few years quietly resigned during Co visit along with another elder my next door neighbor, it took another two or three years and I was out for good.
i honestly think they are the most boring people on earth!
even when they produce their so called "new light", there's no excitement.
jws just do their thing and refuse to think about their useless lives.
Of course it depends who you ask this question to. If you ask it to a newly interested person who is desperate for some comforts from the bible to make him feel better you will get a definite NO. But this is a discussion group comprised mainly of people wise to the bull shit this corrupt self proclaimed "God's Earthly Organization" printing establishment is dishing out, but the readership may have many almost out, newly out, and some loyal JDubs and perhaps even a GB member or two and worldly people trying to find out what the JW are all about. So it is a good question that requires some reflection for all that read it.

Yes, but you expect as they are filling their minds with Watchtower Corporation's propaganda which has a definite documented effect on the brain, causing brain shrinkage, leaving them with a limited range of subject matter that they can comment on 1/2 intelligently depending on the degree of mind numbing indoctrination they had.
Hey just try and imagine that Stephen Lett or Anthony Morris the Turd was a family member and you're trying to have a meaningful conversation with him to which he doesn't dominate with utter bull shit(not possible!).

for background, read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/yahweh, the section, "iron age i: el, yahweh, and the origins of israel.
" "el and his sons made up the assembly of the gods, each member of which had a human nation under his care, and a textual variant of deuteronomy 32:8–9 describes the sons of el, including yahweh, each receiving his own people.
"el, the kind, the compassionate,' 'the creator of creatures,' was the chief of the canaanite gods, and he, not yahweh, was the original 'god of israel'—the word 'israel' is based on the name el rather than yahweh.
Finkle,
I think they were displaced nomads that took over some cities to have a more permanent residence. The coming out of Egypt scenario an attempt make a good story telling device that that satisfied those that held the power and the priesthood that makes a living out of telling these stories. Like Yahwey would really care if someone picked up sticks on a Saturday and have Moses tell the people to execute the violator of a god decreed rest day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomad
The first nomadic pastoral society developed in the period from 8,500–6,500 BC in the area of the southern Levant.[citation needed] There, during a period of increasing aridity, Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) cultures in the Sinai were replaced by a nomadic, pastoral pottery-using culture, which seems to have been a cultural fusion between a newly arrived Mesolithic people from Egypt (the Harifian culture), adopting their nomadic hunting lifestyle to the raising of stock.[8]
This lifestyle quickly developed into what Jaris Yurins has called the circum-Arabian nomadic pastoral techno-complex and is possibly associated with the appearance of Semitic languages in the region of the Ancient Near East. The rapid spread of such nomadic pastoralism was typical of such later developments as of the Yamnaya culture of the horse and cattle nomads of the Eurasian steppe, or of the Mongol spread of the later Middle Ages.[8]

Let face it some ones writings mean different things to different perceptions or from different back rounds and cultures which means misunderstanding arise rather frequently oh if we could only communicate exactly what we got going on in our head while writing if we could do that perhaps we are on the road to world peace or some such utopian dream where everybody gets along perfectly.
assuming anyone cares :-).

they are releasing another bible story book targeted at kids.. sheesh!
The Watchtower seems to be investing heavily in it video productions making their loony ness up on the big screen for all worldly people to see how crazy they are! that Lot's wife part3 video is real extreme on going to a congregation sponsored holly day event as more important then help her worldly uncle and leaving him in a bind over a very important business transaction. The corporation directive must come first above all else even common decency to one own relatives.
I think the Russian government was right in labeling them as extremist and confiscating all their property, this is one sick propaganda machine that the public needs to be sanitized from.

I think these videos will get the WT corporation in a Lot of trouble someday I mean they just put insane craziness right out there for the public to see, calling relatives of JW's worldly people and unworthy of spending time with them because they don't have the same nutty beliefs. That's bad to publish this complete non sense.
