Can you imagine the GB accepting corrective counsel from a rank and file JW?- Island Man
LOL! Good point. Sam xx
the other day an elder mentioned that not following the gb direction is the same as rebelling against god.
this in harmony with the ominous tone set forth in the respect jehovah's authority video.
in this thread i'll point out several gaping holes in that argument as time allows.. 1. the gb/fds does not speak "mouth to mouth" with god as did moses.. jehovah condemned and punished mariam for speaking against moses.

one of them was not df'd for his crimes.. i am writing my da letter this weekend.
Good for you for taking control of your life. Well done love Sam xx
perhaps the most common misunderstanding that prevents people from grasping evolution is complexity.. we see it almost daily on the forum where people mention dna or the eye or any of a multititude of examples and ask how it could have arose "by blind chance"?.
whenever you see a reference to chance and complexity it is obvious the person hasn't yet grasped the basics of the theory.
chance is only one part of the process.
Cofty,
I watched Darwin's video. Before watching it I stated the limitations of this silly experiment in post number 980 of this thread. I stated " Although the common ancestor could evolve a being far more advanced than we are today, we just cannot control or predict how we will evolve"
It is very humble of you, cofty, to take my point seriously and highlight the fact that Darwin himself at 5.30 of the video agrees with me of the limits.
Darwin's idea of random mutation then is really Divine Order as Einstein points to.
Good thread Bill, Love Sam xx
ever since adam, men have tried to understand the rules when dealing with women.
finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works.. .
aim: make the woman happy.
Bumping an 11 yr old post.
How your points system been going. I know what I conclude after 11 yrs LOL!

unless one maintains an intelligent being is using natural selection to accomplish his purpose-Earnest
Good point, Einstein and Dawkin's do not agree on this point. Einstein was a Scientist and by no means did he call himself a creationist. He did in fact agree with you Earnest as do I.
Albert Einstein, stated that the orderly universe was complex and this order had to be divine. He used the illustration of a young child going into a huge library, with books of all languages. There is order as to how they are all placed. The child knows he cannot underatand everything in all the books but he can how ever grasp the fact that there was someone responsible for placing all the books in order.
Thank you for your contribution to this post.
Love Sam xx

Beer and museums, loving that idea!-cofty
I bet you are only gesting Bill, I would really love that too. When are you and Mrs Blyth free so we can meetup? Where are you anyway, anywhere near Liverpool? I think I may have seen you post, Northumberland perhaps?

I think a common error that many theogenists make is misapplying the odds. Take abiogenesis as an example. The odds against that singular critical event happening that changed a complex of molecules from non-living to living, must have been very high. Theogenists would say......IslandMan
I still think Dawkin's is obscuring the fact that probabilities are relevant. I am not a theogenist, I am a Chemical Analyst. I don't missapply odds or probabilities.
If you flip a coin 5 times and get tails each time, what is the proabability you will get heads on the 6th time? Do you think it is still 50/50? Or do you think the odds have increased?
It's still 50/50.
I as far as abiogensis is concerned, non-living streo-isomers cannot form into living structure's. There is no scientific experiments that have achieved this yet.
I have however read a paper in which a homochiral solution was formed using glass beads as a catalyst. This does not in anyway reinforce the formation of non-living molecules to living molecules.
Island Man, please ask me to explain terms if I have not put it clearly. I am not good at explaining my knowledge. I am a chemical analyst not a writer after all, I leave that to the R&D folks.

maybe its just me , i`m just curious as to how many people on this site are from australia as i am .
how many from germany , italy , zambia , etc.
