OK, so let's test the science advocates out here.............
by NotaNess ini'll start it off, then someone else give them a different challenge if you can think of any.. please give definitive examples that by evolution, a species has changed into something else.
give two separate findings by scientists, and it can't include any comments like "so we believe", "so we conclude that", or "the evidence shows that there could have been".....the wts has those copyrighted.. try and give un-doctored photographic proof, where possible, etc.
by the way the hominid skulls and the like will not be accepted, transition has never been proven, i don't think, just that they are different, and scientists "believe", they are pre-homo-sapiens.. i'm not saying you won't have examples, we just want you to walk the talk.

Hey AlanF, does that mean if I were to meet one of those gorgeous, strapping, musclebound cavemen, we would NOT be able to produce beautiful hairy children? Damn that speciation.

Good in some ways- especially when I was a kid, really bad in others. The social experience is what led us to be inactive. We got blacklisted from ALL social activities after I tried to get the elders to do something about the (habitually) drunk M.S.'s wife who screamed at me at a party in front of a whole bunch of people for not allowing her to grope me. (I don't like drunk people touching me.) Not a single person at the party (including elders and pioneers) would admit that they saw anything. Bunch of damn liars closing ranks I guess.

Watching "Knocking" Now, Sunday Night, on WGBH Boston...Some thoughts...
by Seeker4 inok, first, this is not a film that would draw anyone to be a jw.
the witnesses come across as a really odd fundamentalist religion.
they are called fundamentalists several times in the film, and certainly seem quite unappealing.. it's not a film that favors jws.

Exactly why I didn't personally join the campaign to keep it from being broadcast. I suspect there's no way to make JWs look mainstream, and still have major programming pick it up. In fact, I've been looking forward to the airing, since many people will get to see more detail about the fundamentalism of this "nicely dressed, polite" group of door-knockers.
Around here, most people don't know any more about the JWs than "they dress nice" and they "have good manners," and sometimes "Are those the people who don't celebrate birthdays?"
BTW, lmao @ the "3" and "8".

Did You Personally Know of Sex Offenders In The Congregation?
by minimus ini knew of 1 person that should've been reported to the authorities for fooling around with his sisters when he was an older teen and they were much younger.
it was hushed up by the elders, as this was considered a very prominent family.
the allegations were made probably 20 years ago, well before i was ever in that hall.

Yep, several. One of them (at least,) has a child who posts here. I did not know about one of the pedophiles at the time, but my brother was quite close to him, with never a warning from anyone. One of the others was molesting his daughters who were close friends of mine, he tried stuff with me too but never got anywhere. I thought he was just "friendly," since I was never warned. Another one messed up all 5 of his kids severely, and was never df'd afaik. Another one had two kids, and I only heard about him after I left, though I wasn't surprised, and it sure explained a lot about THAT family. That doesn't even include the abusers who weren't sexual abusers, but "only" wife-beaters/child-beaters.

Why 6 Billion People Deserve to Die in Armageddon
by Leolaia injehovah is such a righteous, merciful, loving god -- slow to anger, overflowing with loving kindness and blessing.
yet it somehow bothers many of you that he will shortly execute his judgment on mankind and wipe out 99.9% of the world's population, as if that somehow is supposed to conflict with his loving qualities.
personally, i have no idea why many of you feel this way.

Funny how a JW can spend months cultivating interest and a "friendly relationship" with an RV, and in less than 2 minutes an xjw can explain why it's all a funhouse mirror. Good job!

Comments You Will Not Hear at the 5-20-07 WT Review (Humbly Submit)

Yup, "humbly submitting" means that I should not have warned the 'sister' from the Spanish Congregation that her 4 y.o. was sitting on the lap of a child rapist from the English Congregation. Nope, I guess I just didn't understand the elders' reasons for not wanting to protect an innocent child from being molested. It was a bad bad thing I did, telling that 'sister', and I'm glad I was 'lovingly disciplined' for revealing the child rapist.
Excuse me while I puke.
Speaking of 'submission,' this article explains the ridiculous conversation I had with my mother last week when she said that in the event that she and my father were medically incapacitated, my brother should make the medical decisions BECAUSE HE IS THE MAN! Not because he is the JW (blood), or because he has more medical comprehension (he doesn't), but because he has a penis.
I'm rolling my eyes so hard they may pop out.

letter to parents of molesting ex-husband---FEEDBACK PLEASE!!!

Two (or more?) molesting siblings in the same household? Anyone want to take bets that either "Seth Sr" or some other adult member in that family was raping the boys too? Only one of several reasons I can think of why the parents won't listen.
