Esmerelda,
Excellent. Now, run for your life. Engage No. 1. Put your Millennium Falcon into hyper drive and do not look back.
i decided to put an end to my affiliation with the jws for good.
this decision is not the result of an irrational impulse.
it is quite the contrary.

sorry, meant to say "fighting erupts" ... my bad.
I can just see how it started:
J-Dub to Mormon: "You wear funny underwear."
Mormon to J-Dub: "At least I can spell underwear."
i have enjoyed some fascinating debates on the forum.
i have found it interesting when" facts" have been presented to support a viewpoint, yet the " facts" have then been rejected.. what does this mean?.
well the " truth" is as a dub, i was often presented with " facts" that the organisation was wrong, yet as this information challenged my belief system i convinced myself the " facts" were either completely wrong or misinterpreted, .

The Rebel,
Because humans are an irrational, un-evolved species typically driven or led by their emotions, and emotions are the lowest rung on our socio-evolutionary ladder. Confirmation bias and pride are two of the primary factors, and both have everything to do with emotions and nothing to do with rational thought.
From Wiki: "Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's beliefs or hypotheses, while giving disproportionately less consideration to alternative possibilities. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs (the only thing required to Believe is to Feel - DJS). People also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position (i.e. conspiracy theorists - DJS). Biased research, interpretation and memory have been invoked to explain attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme even though the different parties are exposed to the same evidence), belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false), the irrational primacy effect (a greater reliance on information encountered early in a series) and illusory correlation (when people falsely perceive an association between two events or situations).
i occasionally come on this website because i have my eyes on a particular user.
because of that, i end up reading a lot of people's post.
although very interesting and hurt breaking, a lot of them are very strange.
@sparrowdown: "Oh come on, you desperados, there are probably enough stalkers to go around. Sheesh!!"
Yeah, but most if not all my stalkers hate me.

so at last i am in my next step of my fade, this month is the first month i did not turned in any hours.
i received a text from our group leader an ms & i told him i didn't have any to report, then of course it got bumped up to the elder & i text him back i have no hours to report for december.
i came to this decision when reading many posters here about the yearbook stats, i do not want & refused to contribute to this organization "boosting" numbers for their glorious purposes, after the rc in australia they do not deserve for me to give them a "production" report of what i do for god, no more.
part 1 - protein functional redundancy.... part 2 - dna functional redundancy.... imagine you are teacher with suspicions that some of your pupils have been copying from each other.
comparing the correct answers in all of their assignments might not provide conclusive evidence.
they could simply claim they had all carefully revised the same textbooks so it shouldn't be surprising that they all gave the same answers.
CB,
"If the same remnant of a virus was found in exactly the same place in the genome of two different people it would be irrefutable evidence that they both inherited it from a common ancestor."
The smoking gun for evolution it would seem. If we didn't evolve then your god made the same mistake over and over and over and over. He didn't just have a bad day; he had a bad millennium - or thousand.
Someone provide a better explanation. Sometimes theists claim god used both evolution and creation. Try that.
This is also a non-economic forum, a non-military strategy forum, a non-global political forum, a non-relationship forum …… But we talk about all of these things regularly.
Keep talking CB; you are about to make this your greatest hit, surpassing the one where you justified trying to steal an elderly sister's fortune.

Clambake,
There are two acceptable responses in a debate: 1. Refuting the evidence, the manner in which it was collected (by whom - possible bias, whether scientific methods were employed, whether it has withstood peer review, etc.). Please provide counter evidence or refute Cofty's; and 2. the analysis or evaluation of the evidence - Cofty has presented the evidence in a simple manner so that evolution dunces such as me can understand. If you have a problem with his evaluation, please point it out. To this point, you have used the following debating tactics, which are employed by someone who can't do either 1 or 2 above:
Name calling
Questioning the motives of the opponent
Citing irrelevant facts
Sloganeering
Rejecting facts or logic as opinion
Mockery
Innuendo
