Intelligent Design Clobbered Again
by AlanF injehovah's witnesses seem to have drifted toward the political notion of "intelligent design" in recent years.
several times since 1996 their literature has referenced the book darwin's black box by michael behe, which book has become a kind of bible for iders.
the book introduces the notion of "irreducible complexity" in a formal way as disprove of evolution.

Breaking the news to my family this week....if I can get up the nerve!!!
by Juniper inso, here's the deal....i've spent the last two years riding the 'inactive' train and it's gone pretty smoothly.
but it's gotten to the point where i have to tell my folks that i don't intend to ever go back.
i've been putting it off because i know my dad will want to hear exactly why i want to do this, and then (obviously) try and 'reason' with me to think otherwise.. i love my family a lot, but i can't lie to them anymore and continue to blame my lack of meeting attendance on fabricated excuses.. i'm trying to find a way to just say that i don't want to do it anymore without having it turn into a theological argument.

June 12th is tomorrow, are you ready for armageddon?
by dawg inisn't tomorrow armageddon?
i think i'll sleep late just in case... an elder called my friends house and said that armageddon was almost certain to come this year; an urban myth stated that it would be tomorrow.
i guess i'll wait to make that car payment.

The Day Has Arrived
by concerned x intwo months ago i stepped down as an elder in the cong, it was a tremdous relief although a shock to the cong.
two and a half days ago i sent in a letter of explaination concerning why i wanted to step down and why i will be absent from the kh.
it only took two and a half days for the accusation of apostasy to be made against me.

ADVICE PLEASE. No lit for ex-JW - I have to put an ultimatum to my wife.
by jambon1 inif it is true that it has been announced that ex-jw`s are not to get the study watchtowers, then i must put an ultimatum to my wife.
i look through the wt's at the moment to gauge any radical teachings that i may need to counter with my 2 kids.
if my wife rewfuses to give me the 'secret' wt's then im afraid that it is the end of her taking them to the meetings.
