Dissed, I've got big numbers for you....

How about $100,000.00 and an additional 20 percent when its all over.

Don't ask me, cause I can't stand to talk about it.

All the dimes and nickels saved by those of you who have them need to go to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, notice the little child giving all.

A honest question to all creationists

by bohm in

hey!.

i have a question regarding creation thats burning me.

i dont have any clever arguments depending on what is answered, i am just curious.. first off i want to say that i think people are free to believe whatever they want.

Quit leaving posted:

DNA reveals that humans are 99% ape! The 1% difference consists of 30 million genetic letters that are different from that of apes.

So here is my question. If you as a reader of this thread believe we came from apes, why hasn't anyone come forward with sperm or egg in human form to try and mate up with apes scientifically or in a petri dish to see what happens?

My 2nd Foray into this Forum

thank you for all the warm welcomes...it actually surprised me!.

i have to say that i have no place in my heart for god (but i do appreciate the concept of a creator) and that prayer is impossible.

i have felt guilty about that for so many years.

I feel that I may not be welcome here if I have other ideas (that are not based in Christianity).

Any beliefs are welcomed here....and Welcome by the way Tancat....! Relax and post away!

ok before i start i know my mum was um "special" and had some, well...... bizzare training ideas.. .

i was one of 7 kids, dad didnt help much coz he was sick, so my mum was left to run the 'ship' and she did it with an iron fist.. .

we were never late for a meeting we sat, parents and 2 kids in one row the other 5 in row in front.

Godchick...were you at my KH? I remember this woman who loved to beat her kids with a wooden spoon, and kept a paddle in the bathroom.

There were 5 boys and one little girl. She kept their hair short, but was able to grab that short hair and drag them back for beatings.

Not one elder ever interfered.....it was obvious child abuse in front of everyone.

Their home was disgusting.....you could barely walk through the dirty clothes, dishes and accumulated garbage.

I am so sorry about your upbringing, but more typical with JW's than you can imagine.

Tattoos/Piercings?

by Think About It in

jw
friends

i feel like woody allen in the 1973 movie "the sleeper".

i leave in 1995, wake up 15 yrs later to see what has been going on in the jw religion and find out it is completely different from what i left.

i started a thread about beards, because i wanted to know how the modern day beard and goatee fad went over in the kh's.. now i'm curious about the tattoo, piercings and short or shaved hair look.

restrangled

I've been out of the Jw's a very long time, and I threatened both my boys with death....if they ever got a tattoo, or piercing.

One did, and he instantly had to remove it out of his tongue. Not and easy job.

That was the end of it.

My personal opinion: they're ugly, sleazy, and what in hell's name is it going to look like 50 years from now?....a wrinkled mess.

I am not sorry about my opinion. We had a girl work for us with a nose ring,....she was not allowed to wear it.

Instead she had a big ugly hole in her nose or a very obvious plug.......sounds attractive doesn't it?

One of my brother's girlfriend's had a tongue piercing. All her words sounded stupid...beginning with pltha, pltha, pltha and lots of spit.... once again, very attractive.
