Can't get this out of my system
by cheeseman indoes anyone else here feel that that they are kinda obsessed with all this god/satan malarky?
i mean, i've reached a point where i believe the bible is just a storybook, however, the fact i was lied to all that time by the wts just makes my blood boil.
i feel like screaming.

Knoweedge, Belief and JW's
by cheeseman inhaving been involved in a few online debates with jw's lately, i've realised that no matter how devastatingly logical your argument is, a jw will never accept it.
i began thinking it's obvious this is the conditioning at work and that hiding from cognitive dissonance is their survival method to preserve there beliefs.. however, what are the component parts of this "we're never wrong" attitude?
i started thinking back and i seemed to remember a lot of instances in the publications or talks such as:-.

Adam named millions of species
by cheeseman ini am intrigued by this:gen 2:19 and out of the ground the lord god formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
a quick search at the national geographic showed:to date, taxonomists have identified less than two million distinct species, mostly mammals and birds.
but it's estimated that the number of undiscovered speciesprimarily fish, fungi, insects, and microbesranges from ten million to more than one hundred million.
