First thing to point out is that it's a misquote from Peter who asked Jesus "Lord, whom else shall we go to?" John 6:68
As usual JWs discursively displace Jesus and put the organisation in his place, so they ask "where" rather than "who".

But where else should we go? Can you answer this question?
by purrpurr inhaving watched many jc youtube videos one question that gets asked is "where else would you go?".

by stan livedeath inas the title says--i'm out of here for good.. the site is full of atheists, communists, 7th day adventists, creationists, believers, deceivers, receivers, football supporters,.
dodgy types, cantleave---and assorted wankers.. so no place for me--because i'm none of the above so dont fit in.

Given many subsequent posts by this same poster, I think we can safely say we don't need to take this seriously. Sorry to be so blunt but have lost credibility.

I conclude evolution is guided
by KateWild inyour qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.
k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.
in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

Don't know about the molecules. But convergence seems to show there is a deep structure to evolution and a purpose behind it.

Maybe the forum should have "frequently asked questions" section:
1. Do Governing Body members go on the ministry? Yes
2. Are there hidden Satanic images in the literature? No
3. Was Russell a Freemason? No/who cares?
4. Did Johhnny the bethelite help build a tunnel under Brooklyn? Of course, dear
5. Why do links to Cedars not work? Because he's temperaMental
6. Should we believe in evolution? "Believe" is the wrong word you dunderheid! Evolution is a glorious fact - end of story.
7. When will JWs start declining in number? Soon, any day now, it's just around the corner!
8. Is there financial corruption in organisation? Probably
9. Is the governing body going to drop its blood/1914/shunning policy? Yes, as soon as hell freezes over.

Was the Coup staged?
by Coded Logic infor the sake of argument, i think a case can be made:.
) edrogan has been wanting to expand his constitutional powers - this gives him the perfect opportunity to do so..
) it gives edrogan an excuse to restructure a highly secular military.

Over a hundred people killed and all the people involved looking at jail or worse. No it wasn't staged. It's so incompetent however I wouldn't be surprised if the Americans were behind it. They have a long, long history of supporting failed or incompetent coups, from Hungary down to the Orange Revolution.

Possible Military Coup in Turkey!
by cofty inif this does turn out to be the case it could have very serious implications.... turkey hovers between western freedom and democracy and an islamic hell.
europe has been bending over backwards to keep turkey on-side and promising it fast-tracked entry to the eu in return for it's cooperation in controlling mass migration from the east.. the situation is unclear at the moment but there are tanks on the streets....

It doesn't look good. I wouldn't like to be the generals if they fail...
I wonder what I would do in the middle of a coup.
1. Try to figure out which side has the upper hand an jump on board quickly.
2. Decide which side I think has justice on their side and join them regardless of the odds of success.
3. Steer clear of making any sort of commitment to either side and lay low until it's all settled.

Very unlikely at this stage Russia would do anything, but if it becomes very unstable in Turkey who knows. It's a close neighbour. Russia thinks it has a right in the region. America has its Monroe doctrine after all. Even the remote possibility of conflict between Russia and NATO over Turkey is something to worry about.
The idea of Trump as president has made me dwell more recently on the fragility of continued human existence in the nuclear age. I am very pessimistic about our prospects of surviving the century. In fact you could say we are lucky to have survived as long as we have. View any more years avoiding nuclear war as a kind of bonus, looking on the bright side.
Read this story recently about a strategist who asked US general what procedures were in place to stop an irrational president setting off a nuclear war. The answer was basically that there are no safeguards, the president can do as he wishes. The only safeguard against an irrational president is "not to elect one".
