  The Birth of the Universe - Scientific Breakthrough

  by cofty in

  researchers working with a telescope at the south pole beleive they have glimpsed light from the first "trillionth of a trillionth of a tillionth" of a second after the big bang.. a lot of work has still to be done to confirm the findings, but if it holds up it is one of the biggest discoveries ever.. _________________________________________.

  ...inflation came with a very specific prediction - that it would be associated with waves of gravitational energy, and that these ripples in the fabric of space would leave an indelible mark on the oldest light in the sky - the famous cosmic microwave background.. the bicep2 team says it has now identified that signal.

  scientists call it b-mode polarisation.

  Double standard of JWs

  by exWTslave in

  2. beliefs

  jws shun many practices like birthday citing their pagan/evil-spirit connection.

  if they are honest with their claim, they wil have to leave this world altogether:.

  1) in their bethels, brothers should compulsorily wear a neck-tie, which is actually a phallic symbol!.

  There is actually ZERO proof for these evil spirits to enter uour mind--heres why:

  JWs say that demons CANNOT read your thoughts! But only see what u view or what seems to affect u and try to present such things to you....somehow....invisibly. Thats a huge screw up IMO

  Cosmos episode 3

  by Jon Preston in

  just finished watching episode 3 of cosmos and i have to say it was fantastic.

  amidst false prophesies and failed futuristic predictions it was amazing to see halleys comet predictions based on science that actually come true every 76 years...these are the things i imagine most humans really want to see--evidence for something that is measurable and predictable.

  and yet these same scientists were demonized and continue to be demonized because they want evidence and something tangible.

  For me, im done judging what the WT judges people on. This episode of Cosmos inspired me to look more heavily for evidence for things, but keepng an open mind to change any ideas i find out to be wrong in the future.

  Well thats what i got out of this weeks Cosmos, what did you friends find interesting? ;-)

  Ive been speaking with my wife and she feels that its the honest thing to do and just meet with the elders and tell them my thoughts and doubts. Not to rejoin but DA if i want. She brought out that its rude of us for them To expect us to do parts and think alls well, and the. Us keeping bailing out. So i think im going to be taken off the school and possibly meet with the elders. Ill approach it as questions like ive seen some do in youtube recordings of jc. Im not afraid really because she said shes behind me and doesnt give a damn if were labelled, itll just sharpen her desire to leave.

  But i dont want to just do it and leave nothing for review ;-) so maybe ill record it.

  Im over letting the org have control over my decisions but i do feel i owe it to the few brothers who are entrapped to attempt to reach them. If not, oh well. Life goes on.And without the fear of them convincing my wife to leave me, which weve discussed may happen, i dont feel any reason not to make something productive out of this.

  Well see how things develop.
