Abiogenesis

some off the top of my head responses (with help from a friend) to a set of questions from another topic site are as follows.

1. what is the estimated minimum nucleotide length of dna or rna needed for a self-reproducing organism?

the lower limit for a living non virus is usually considered around 4,000 genes or about 400,000 dna base pairs (bacteria genes are about 1,000 base pairs long - see clark and russell molecular biology 2000).

Hey abaddon, let me get this straight: if you don't believe in intelligent design does this mean this is not an intelligent discussion?

And why have you blended morality with physicality to obfuscate the two? Is it because you wish to dispense with morality to justify your need to ejaculate all over the world?

I'm sure if I suggested this type of discussion be reduced to simplistic terms I'd be branded a simpleton. Okay. Then what is the probability that chaotic matter can come into existence from nothing, apparently violating Einstein's famous equation? What then is the probability that ordered matter and its corollary, complex life forms, can come into existence from nothing? What in evolutionary cosmological theory accounts for the non-existence of energy from whence matter is derived?

San Diego's Bryan Sloan: Whereabouts?

Oops--I don't know what happened there. Does anyone know the whereabouts of Bryan Sloan of San Diego. I lost contact with him before his wife tragically died. To my knowldege he is still a jaydub and a decent human being.

Mmmm---maybe stinkypantz' reply underscores the veracity of Bergman's claim, namely, That his experience with atheists is that "they lack morals and honesty..". Stinkypantz then makes a moral judgment, "Bad Jerry". Stinkypantz claims Bergman included, quote, "ALL" athiests when in fact he did not appear to do so.

It's just my observation that a majority of those who identify as xjws seem to take their cognitive dissonance disturbances with them when they depart the Orwellian watchtower world and exhibit them in their reasoning processes in perpetuum.

Say goodbye...Armaggedon 15/ 05/ 03

ive been looking at an interesting site by a woman who receives transmissions from aliens called the zeta.

apparently the world as we know it will end may 15th when planet nibiru / marduk passes so close to our earth that an apocalypse will occur.

it last passed by when the noachian flood occurred.

Hey Refiners Fire, How ya doin? Look---I think one has to have an open mind about this issue. As a rule of thumb I never place any confidence in physics; a dollar to a dime they're always wrong! I did cruise through the zeta site some time back and more or less dismissed the whole issue until I saw it raised in a scientific discussion later.

Because the myths of the Great Flood are so widespread it is at least plausible that it was a factual event, and this is without considering hard evidences. The same goes for the myths of the Sundisc. And being familiar with early WTS history, my interest in the subject was piqued both because Russell had an interest in the Sundisc, and especially because Christ's words in Mat24:29 was more descriptive of a physical celestial event. I personally cannot see any activity in either Taurus or Scorpius constellations, but my eyes are not A1. I suppose you've seen the Herald-Sun's NASA quotation bandied around various websites?

Have you looked at this website:-http://members.shaw.ca/makeugohmm/where_to_look.htm and other links therein? I don't recall if you said so in your earlier post.

There are a couple of guys claiming to have sighted it earlier this week. They claim it can be seen in the Taurus constellation. If you draw an imaginary line from The Plieades to Alderbaran and do a 90 degree turn (down, if you live in the northern hemishpere; up, if you live in the southern) across the "breast" of El Toro, AND draw a straight line from Orion's belt (or the bottom of The Pot) to meet your other imaginary line, at that intersection is where it has currently been sighted, or claimed to have been sighted.

Astrophysicist Richard Harrington claimed the so-called PlanetX would be sighted coming out of the Scorpius constellation. Physicist James McCanney is presently and supposedly on a trip to New Zealand to see if he can sight it.

Is there a secret "zionist" agenda & hidden "cabals" operating in US/UK?

by Utopian Reformist in

jw

check out this article from benjamin freedman:

Hi Utopian, These types of posts reveal two possibilities (i) the poster has masochistic tendencies, (ii) respondents still maintain their watchtower conditioning where cognitive dissonance is not functioning.

Words like "zionist" produce predictable emotional response derived from mainline cultural conditioning. Articles written by jewish authorities such as Freedman and Makow are dismissed. Conspiracy only exists by decree of secular authority: For example--Only Moslems conspire. World is divided along the lines of black and white; i.e. Bush is good Saddam is bad.

Scripture says that the shrewd one sees the calamity and protects himself while the one lacking foresight suffers. In this field of alternative explanations of secretive world structures the words of DeToqueville are profound:"People prefer to believe a simple lie than a complex truth".

If you believe what you wrote, my friend, you best be preparing yourself for what future days will bring. Those that dispute or dismiss what you're sharing with them are also subject to the effects of that inexorable principle sometimes called The Law of Consequences.

War is a tragic reminder that only Christ is able to establish world peace!

the truth is that humanity needs the god who created this vast universe -- who is known as allah to many, and jehovah to many, or worshipped under a myriad of other names but indeed is but one -- to eliminate the forces of evil in this world through his son, jesus christ.

as a matter of fact, the bible promises christ will reign as king on his throne from the heavens for the millennium it shall take to establish world peace.. if you are visiting this site out of curiosity about the beliefs of jehovah's witnesses and have this sinking feeling of dispair in your heart as this world descends into social and economic conflict and chaos, then you should be aware that a higher intelligence is about to intervene and save mankind from extinction.

that intelligence created this universe and its laws of physics to house intelligent life, and what you simply know as "love" eminated from this intelligence!

Hi Derrick,

Blackguard did not imply that the corporate WTS hegemony is satanically inspired. If your comments were 'Freudian' in nature or an allusion that you positively know something to be satanically inspired, I will defer. I did, however, imply they are satanically linked. I will consider to point you to some pertinent information. I am presuming that you are a jaydub or jaydub sympathizer. As such I am forced to presume that "definitive proof" and "solid evidence" for you is based upon the say-so of authority, especially authority structures that lay claim to represent God and produce literature which competes with God's word. I further presume that solid evidences and definitive proofs for you is akin to the always in-flux watch tower prophecy and doctrinal exegsis as determined solely by the authority of corporate-like WTS hegemonies. In other words, ANY group or individual, incorporated or not, that claims to represent God and maintains a track record of failed prophecy and altered dogma will suffice for you as the source of evidences?

Do you see the difficulty I would have in directing you to evidences? If you do not wish your peace of mind to be disturbed do not pursue these matters---do the ostrich. If you can rise above your conditioning and want to know, I recommend you do some diligent research into the origins of (i) the corporate WTS, it's predecessor (ii) the unicorporated Zion's Watch Tower with Conley as President and Russell as secretary and (iii)Russell's own background, his occultic persuasion and connections. Then you might be in a position to trace forward the history of that legal fiction known as the corporate Watch Tower Society Inc. The words, watcher, watchtower, pyramidology, necromancy, golden age, Pleiades, zodiac, age of aquarius, sundisc, Illuminism might give you a good start.

Amazing Jim Whitney once promised to share his research of the myriad watch tower corporations; he said, I recall, it would be "a bombshell". Perhaps he would also respond to a request to post that research

If you're willing to make effort I'll share further information with you and give you my e.maill address if you don't already have it.

Major WTS Prophecy goes down to defeat !!!

by Amazing in

many here may recall that the watchtower society has published much material on the prophetic role of the united nations ... specifically, the united nations is the scarlet colored wild beast, the "image" of the worldly 7 headed wild political beast ... it would be given life by the two-horned dual world power of britain and america, the "lamb-like beast spoken of in revelation ... this "image" beast would be given power to rule one prophetic hour over the nations as they subordinate their national sovereignty to it ... and so on ...

then ... after the creation of the united nations in 1945 in san francisco the wts interpreted revelation regarding the demise of the old league of nations to apply to a statement in revelation that this "image" beast would be revived in the form of the united nations ... seemingly, the wts was on to something ... and for the next 45 years (until about 1990) the watchtower published anything and everything they could to make their interpretation stick with respect to how deep in the time of the end they believed we were living in ... then, about 1990, the watchtower society joined the un as a member ngo ... a significant departure from their previous stand on political neutrality ... and ... hatred of satan's old system of things ... certainly, since we are nearly 90 years into the last days of this wicked system we would expect the un to be in control or at least taking the lead ...

so, now ... where do we stand as of march 19th, 2003?

Hi Amazing,

Yes, I was wondering if someone would comment on this yet another apparent watchtower prophecy blunder.

Can you, or anyone else here, tell me if you recall a late 1960's or early 1970's WT or Awake magazine article which quoted a USSR leader claiming 'the west would be defeated by communism by 1975'.? It may have been a quotation from Kruschev.

Well sargon, by virtue of the fact you're forced to ask me if ' Ibelieve this' I am lead to suspect you're unfamiliar with the history of the period. 1914 was a date known by Russell, Barbour and others before 1876 . Russell appears to have first learned about The Great War, due to commence in 1914, from his occultic affiliations as far back as 1870: The Hohenzollerns knew about it. Whether I believe it or not is irrelevant; the evidence is that Russell was not pursuing a Christian agenda. He was linked to a group that planned The Great War in much the same way the current invasion of Iraq was drawn up some time ago. Rutherford knew about WWII as far back as 1926.

.I am eager to be wrong here: Follow this conflict in Basrah or Iraq and see if it does not erupt into WWIII and a constitutional crisis in the US. How it will unravel is no mystery to a lot of people, the corporate WTS included.
