Science in the bible......
by insearchoftruth inlast week my wife and i were returning from a trip to the store and she starts talking about how amazing the bible is and how one should really not need to take any science classes, cause everything that one needs to know is in the bible.
she sites the creation story on how it is all in the bible that there was first water, then earth, then vegetation.........i really did not even know how to reply.
i asked her if she ever really critically read genesis for what it said, it is an interesting story, but there are many inconsistencies and even contradictions within the written word.....but of course she attributes that to the mistakes of man recording the information, since every word of the bible is of course inspired by jehovah.

Today I went to the Doctor with Barbie Doll.
by PEC inin the waiting area, there were two awake trashazines, i promptly deposited them in the nearest trash can.
there are patients in the waiting area, so i couldn't shred them, without making a seen.. last time we were there, there was an awake in the lab waiting area.
it's very important; that, if you see any of this trash, laying around anywhere, deposit it in the nearest trash can.

Those who don't hear "truth" free ticket into Paradise...yet babies will be killed??
by Witness 007 inwhy preach??
those who don't hear the "truth" will get a second chance in paradise, so we are just condemning people to death who close the door on us!
also babies and children of worldly people will be killed with their parents which contradicts this first policy.....any thoughts??.

Why do Witnesses think the world is so bad? Here's another reason
by BonaFide ini know the fact that the publications say the world is bad, and the beginning of so many public talks.
and the introductions in the field ministry.. but here is something i have been thinking about.. jw's are not exposed to people from all walks of life.
growing up in the truth, most of the bro's in my hall worked in construction, cleaning, office workers, or ups.

Watchtower policy on child abuse...link to watchtower.org
by digderidoo inthis is terrible.
i stumbled across it whilst searching watchtower.org for their 'new light' on the faithful and discreet slave.. it seems to be instructions from 1995 as to how to deal with an accusation of child abuse, i have bolded the parts i found sickening.
when the samaritan came along, his heart went out to the wounded man.

This Thread Is For Elders & Those Affected By Them
by minimus inas an ex- elder, i can look back and see all the power and control we had as "shepherds".
when i was an elder i genuinely tried to comply with anything "mother" demanded of us.
i would reason that since "mother knows best", i would comply with the organization, even if it didn't quite seem so fair or right.. as time went by, i could not help but see the unfairness of soooo many rules and regulations.
