When has Science Ever been proven wrong by the Bible?
by gaiagirl inthe watchtower sunday made a claim to the effect that when science conflicts with the bible, the bible has always been proven to be correct.
if i had been there, i would have asked "could you provide some specific examples"?.
i'm thinking that reality is actually the other way, science always disproves the bible.

"Corrupt" music video, could this apply to freedom from WTBTS?
by gaiagirl inheard this song by becky baeling, and thought how it works on more than one layer.
on the surface, it is just about a woman seducing a man, but below that, it can be about being freed from chains of bondage to a society which is in itself corrupt.

JW's and divorce...higher or lower than average, or just average?
by gaiagirl indo jw's enjoy more stable, happier marriages as a result of applying "bible principles", or does the stress of toeing the line make their marriages break up more frequently?
or, do they pretty much match the national average?

Adam and Eve were NEVER perfect.
by gaiagirl injw's frequently say that the first human couple were "perfect" and would have lived forever until they gave up perfection by their disobedience.. however, closer reading of the genesis account shows that they were never perfect, instead, they were designed to grow old and die, just like the rest of the animals.
jehovah has adam name all the animals, but finds that none of the animals is suitable as a companion (wonder how this was determined)?.
jehovah clones a companion for adam, and tells them to not eat the fruit of a certain tree, or they will die "in that very day".

Are YOU born under "original sin"?
by gaiagirl inthat is, do you view yourself as a member of a "fallen" race of humans, and/or separated from god/perfection/divinity, and/or subject to eventual death because of something an ancestor allegedly did?.
is this even a healthy way to view oneself?.
personally, if there were any truth to the genesis account, then i'd claim descent from the "other" people living outside eden.
