How linked is the WT with Discovery Institute & Cie ?
by Copernic inregarding the last brochures (was life created & the origin of life) and the many plagiarism of the claims already used by the discovery institute and other canards of creationist organisations, i'm wondering if somebody could tell us if the bethel has subscribed to this kind of publication ?.
i don't see original quotes by the wt and often we can see a lot of (mis)quotes already used before.. any confirmation ?.
thanks.

What percentage of JWs have been disfellowshipped?
by JWoods ini was just thinking about people i knew - and i come up with around 15% who were disfellowshipped.
some got re-instated, some left for good, i even know a few who were disfellowshipped more than once.
it may be even higher than that - certainly it is pretty common in jwland.. i know that other religions have a theoretical state of disfellowshipping - the catholics have excommunication, for example.

Bible CONTRADICTIONS (Post Yours Here!) -- And Yahweh is a "Monster"!
by UnDisfellowshipped in"yahweh is a monster and the bible is full of contradictions!".
this is for all atheists, skeptics, believers, anyone to post the biggest contradictions that you believe are found in the bible, and also to tell about why you believe the god of the old testament (yahweh/jehovah) is a "monster" (as so many have said on this website in the past).. so this is a double-themed-thread!.
i want to see if i can provide good answers/solutions using logic and reasoning..

Blatant misquote in the Origin of Life booklet
by bohm ini am trying to review the "origin of life" booklet, and i got to say that the more i look into it the worse it look.
this particular quote puzzled me a lot (p. 28).
one group of researchers used brain size to speculate which extinct creatures were more closely related to man admitted that in doing so, they often feel on shaky ground.. they took the quote from the preface of the "the human fossil record - volume 3" from 2004. .

New Books: The Origin of Life & Was Life Created?
by ForbiddenFruit inso family forced me into accepting the two new pro-creation books released at the convention.
i haven't had a chance to read them properly yet, but i expect to be drilled to death by friends and family on how brilliant the book is.. anyway, i was wondering if anyone was working on a critical analysis?
or could join me in putting together a list of flaws in the books?

his parents have taught him that god created the earth and all life on it.
they say that the bible's account of creation is trustworthy and that evolution is simply a theory-one not supported by the evidence.
