New "The List" of... Times when JW's thought it was the end and it wasn't...

by ILoveTTATT in

i think that there should be a list of the times when a certain world event got jw's thinking "this has got to be it!

the start of armageddon!".

it would be nice to have screenshots of twitter/facebook comments from actual jw's.... then come back to it 5, 10, 15 years from now and just say... nope... just another crisis in the world.... just this year there have been two:.

ILoveTTATT

Yeah I guess there are enough events every year to keep JW's "in check"...

But I'd like to have a list of times when something happens and it seemingly fulfills their prophecies... like 1914 and WWI... Something that, IN THAT YEAR, would have made a JW doubt if he should come out of the witnesses.

Questions on Evolution and the Existence of God and...

by ILoveTTATT in

i know this is one huge rant, but i want to put my own questions and doubts in writing.. i am a fading jw who has become agnostic... i still believe in "god" and "jesus," but i simply cannot explain to people why i believe in them.

i just do.. about the existence of god: it is an infinite regress.

"all things were created by someone"... well... who created god?

What an amazing difference 8 months can make!

I am so sorry that I didn't read the blind watchmaker before!

I've begun to watch Cosmos too and it's all starting to make sense!

Something about The Blind Watchmaker that just blew me away was the explanation of accumulated change.

Random changes by themselves make for impossible odds... leading to "infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters for an infinite amount of time"...

But I actually made the experiment of making random letters with Excel

=TRUNC(RAND()*26,0)

Then =VLOOKUP(Sheet1!A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$26,2,FALSE) (a list from A to Z, 0 being A and 25 being Z)

Then =IF(B8="H","H"," ") (Doing an IF and finding the letter that I wanted)

I am sure a MATLAB coding would work better... anyways...

I got "There is a big differenc" (I only did 20 characters) in 103 attempts.

So I went from 1/ 26^20 to just needing 103 "generations" of 20 characters to get an end result.

Of course, that assumes that there is an "end game" with evolution, which now I understand that there isn't... but the exercise blew me away because I now realize that just about any structure and trait seen in biological systems can come to existence with evolution...

It explains our eyes, our brains, our hearts, hemoglobin, EVERYTHING!!

I am so happy that I now understand it a lot better!!

Thanks to everyone!! Cofty, Apognophos, and Adamah deserve special mention.

Thanks!
