Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Looks like it didn't come out right. Go to www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com and see how much crap this guy has managed to spout to the world's media over the past few weeks. I'm surprised that he hasn't been offered a place in Bethel yet..........

Your favorite Watchtower oddities
by logansrun inyou know, there are some things phrased that are just so, so....watchtoweresque.
what are some things you see that remind you of some wt foibles?
one thing that always cracks me up is when an article or book (or post) uses too many exclamation points.

"theocratic warfare strategy"
(i.e lying)
also the other one that made me chuckle when I read about it somewhere was when the WT decided to say it was god's wife, and therefore the mother of mankind (or something like that - can anyone else back me up on that?)

JWs and the problem of Creation en toto
by logansrun injehovah's witnesses will often scoff with scornful disdain at young earth creationists for believing that the "days" in genesis are literal and that the entire universe is only about 6 to 10 thousand years old.
what about the ages of rocks measured in the millions?
light from stars millions of light years away?

Just had a bit of a flashback - I think the book was called something like "Evolution or Creation - how did we get here?". Does this ring any bells?

If i remember correctly, the WT based it's 1975 prophecy on Adam being created in 4026BC (4026 + 6000 years of human rule, not counting "year zero" = 1975). But when there is a huge amount of scientific evidence (which i subscribe to based on logic, radiocarbon data, geology etc) that points to humans living on the earth many, many thousands of years before this). That's why I've always been a (humanist) scientist and not a theologist - science can (often) give proof, whereas with religion you seem to rely on faith and a 2,000+ year old book.
A few weeks back my soon to be returning JW girlfreind gave me a WT book to read (can't remember what it was called - it seemed to be aimed at young adults and printed in the late 70's/early 80's), and one chapter read something like "fossil evidence and the great flood", where it said the flood must have happened because sea fossils have been found on areas above sea level. It was then i used my basic knowledge of geology and plate tectonics to show that over millions of years two "areas" of land can meet up, and form mountains (and any fossils in the areas close to the meeting point can therefore rise above ground level). i also used the case of the West African / South American coatlines as an example, where not only do the shapes of theoir coastlines seem to almost fit into each other, but fossils of creatures thought only to exist on the West coast of Africa have been found on the South East American coast, and vice-versa. A few weeks back on this site's chat room i was told that the WT stopped teaching the "fossils above sea level as evidence of the flood" theory years ago......
Considering it was sopposed to be a "science" (or rebuking thereof) book, it wasn't half full of crap, lies, half truths and misquotes. Anybody know what it was called? it was a hardback book missing it's paper cover, but the hardboard cover beneath was light blue with (gold?) writing
p.s. not in a good mood, my pub quiz team just lost out on winning £280 between 4 of us
millions now living
will never see through the crap. -

A father and his young son are in a chemist's one day, when the little boy notices the contraceptives rack. "What are those for, dad?" enquires the youngster, pointing at a pack of three condoms. "Well son" says the father "they're for for single fellas that go out chasing women on the weekend. There's one for Friday night, one for Saturday night, and if he's lucky, one for sunday night too". "What about these?" asks the young lad, pointing to a six-pack of condoms. "They're for guys who have steady girlfreinds" answers his father "One for Monday, one for Tuesday, one for Wednesday, one for Thursday, one for Friday, one for Saturday, and on sunday they have a day off" "OK dad" says the little boy "What about this 12 pack?". "They're for married couples" replies the father "One for January, one for February, one for March......"
