  Are they really that stupid

  by moley in

  2. friends

  i was recently approached by a couple of borg drones while i was walking my dog, and i thought why not, may plant a seed or two (how wrong was i).

  there was no real logic to what they were saying but as i was in the local park the conversation started to veer to how wonderful nature was and how this was the work of a wonderful creator.

  i did not let on i was a former witness and let them continue with their fairy tale of creation and how the vast multitude of animals shows a loving god at work blah blah blah...... but i digress, the converastion then turned to how evolution was false.. apparently to earth is only a few thousand years old, so i mentioned about the burgess shale, to be met with blank stares.

  Apparently to earth is only a few thousand years old, so i mentioned about the Burgess Shale, to be met with blank stares. I explained that this was a rock formation over 500 million years old and how this formation contained hundreds of thousands of fossils fom the Cambrian Period thus preserving the early signs of life on earth. I know they wouldnt know any of this but I was on a role, so I continued with my brief history of the formation of the earth only to be stopped in my tracks...... older sisters says OH, NONE OF THAT STUFF IS REAL. ITS BEEN PLACED THERE BY SATAN AND HIS DEMONS TO DECEIVE MANKIND INTO NOT BELEIVING IN CREATION. Now it was me who returned the blank stare, I was dumbfounded. I just replied WTF and walked off.

  Dont get me wrong im not dissing them for not knowing what i was talking about, as it is very complex and many non jw friends have no idea, but their reply was well....................................................

  Regarding UN attacks BTG

  when I was in, 2 pioneers mentioned about about a brother, who knew a brother ( ad infinitum) who got talking to some who was in the UN (how they met him was never discussed). For some reason they told this guy about the UN attacking and banning religion, and this guy was shocked as it was meant to be secret that this is what they were planning and how did they know.

  These 2 pioneers took this gospel. Anyone else heard this story

  Creationism or evolution, or do I believe in god

  by moley in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the past year or so i've been completely evaluating whether i believe in god.

  i studied marine biology at uni for the last 3 years and it completely change my view on evolution.

  even when i was in i believed in evolution to a certain extent (ie the flood made no sense, the earth being 60000 odd years old etc etc) and this has made me question the existence of god.

Believer, atheist, agnostic, I think I am still a believer but in A god, not the ones people are killing each other over. Why? I believe that something must have started it, as I believe (and I stress this is my own opinion) that life cannot come from lifeless matter. So yes in a sense I believe in A god but I completely reject religion.

  ps I think creationists are loons

  The kindness of (worldly) strangers

  yesterday i went surfing, when i had finished and got changed i tried to start my car, no joy.

  there were about 12 cars in the car park and the occupants of 8 of the cars all tried to help out at some point as they could see i was having difficulties, one guy even drove to a garage 5 miles away to get me a coffee i didn't even ask for as it was a freezing cold day and a couple of them let me sit in their cars to warm up while i waited for the rac.

  contrast this to a time when i was in and my car wouldn't start (different car lol) in a kh car park and all i got was snarky comments, or advice in passing but no one stopped to help out.. i know who i prefer, has anyone else been helped by the evil worldly's while ignored by the loving jw's.

  i was surfing at Bantham, South Devon, England. Yes the water was cold, but the surf was perfect one of those days when everything comes together.

  Surfing is the only time I feel completely free. I surfed hell of a lot when I was in. Often counselled on it, f%^k you i said (in my mind)
