  irradiation can be used to kill bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as salmonella, campylobacter and e. coli.

  Yeah I truly don't own and don't want a microwave. But it's not what you think. I just don't care for microwaved food that much. Don't tell me you can't tell the difference.

  Of course... many things don't cook well in the microwave. It is invaluable for heating up leftovers, drinks, making popcorn, etc., though. I would never use it to cook meat products but it works well on vegetables. In addition, there are some well-designed microwavable dishes that are really good. There are of course some that are really bad. You just have to experiment.

  If you have the time and energy to cook all of your foods the good ol' fashioned way, I envy you.

  i hated it with a passion!

  who enjoyed it??.

  i can possibly imagine someone who's home life was miserable, and it was an excuse to get out of the house.

  I hated service. The whole concept of pushing my religious beliefs on someone else was quite unappealing. The only form of service I enjoyed was informal service. But even that I did rarely.

  WTS response:

  1) These are not human remains.

  2) They have been dated incorrectly.

  How Screwed Up Are You Because You Were A Jehovah's Witness???

  after reading so many experiences about how being a jw affected a person's life, i wonder how your life has turned out because you were at one time a witness.

  Many honestly admit that ordinary parental neglect, alcoholism, etc. were more influential on their lives than a "high-control" religion.

  Perhaps it is easier to rid yourself of the WTS teachings than it is to undo the damage caused by parents.

  Yes, irradiation can damage DNA in food. If that creates unsafe chemicals then we need to explore it. However, irradiating food does not cause the food to become radioactive. I've heard people over the years say that and it's simply not true.

  Microwaving, on the other hand, does not damage DNA of food like irradiation can. I'm surprised that there are people that won't even own a microwave. All it does is excite water molecules so that they produce heat.

  It is safe to say that the current laws of physics do not always apply in all situations as there are NEW laws and discoveries yet to be taught to the average physics major

  Of course, but you could use that excuse about ANYTHING. I can claim ANYTHING is dagerous just by saying the above. I want PROOF that something is dangerous. Take your Geiger counter and test irradiated food and compare it to food that's not been irradiated. There's your proof.

  I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Stephanus. Irradiated food is not dangerous. It is not radioactive. It was merely exposed to some radioactivity to kill microorganisms. If you think irradiated food is radioactive, prove it by taking out your Geiger counter and seeing if the radioactivity is higher than background.

  Microwaves also do not make food dangerous. Microwaves subject food to a certain frequency of electromagnetic radiation. This frequency excites water molecules and causes them to produce heat. One you turn off the microwave energy, your food is not suddenly radiating microwaves.

  It also seems unreasonable to assume that your body will have trouble digesting microwaved/irradiated food. Just because irradiated food does not decompose on its own does not mean your body will have trouble decomposing it! Your digestive system breaks down food by the acid in your stomach and the natural bacteria in your intestinal tract.

  HAVE PEOPLE ONLY BEEN ON EARTH FOR 5000 YRS LIKE JW'S SAY?

  by FreeofGuilt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was always taught in the jw religion, that humans have really only been on earth for 5000 years or so... there is so much evidence of the neandertherdal people, with scientists finding many skulls, bones, & such, but scientists date these bones 100 thousand-millions of years old... the society used to always add that carbon dating is not accurate.

  i also noticed that jws never talked about the dinosaurs much... what do you think??????

  I have absolutely no doubt that humans and their predecessors have lived on this earth for millions of years.

  Carbon dating will go back 30,000 years or so (if I remember correctly). Radiological dating can be insanely accurate, especially when it is calibrated with other dating methods. There is simply no way man is only 6,000 years old.
