Bets on when the UN prophecy will be dropped?
by marmot innow that i'm free to bet, i figured it would be neat to start a pool on when the watchtower is going to change light bulbs on the prophecy about the united nations turning on worldwide religion.
there is no doubt in my mind that this prediction will be dropped.
not only is this the longest-running unchanged prediction in the wt's history (1925 and 1975 had much shorter gestations) it's the last detailed concrete prediction the society has left in its bag of tricks.

Huge court victory against JW grandparents trying to indoctrinate their granddaughter!
by marmot inhttp://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/jehovah-s-witness-grandparents-ordered-to-keep-faith-to-themselves-1.3282193.
a pair of devout jehovah's witnesses have been ordered by a b.c.
provincial court judge not to talk about religion in front of their four-year-old granddaughter.. the couple lost their bid for unsupervised access to the girl because they insisted on taking her to worship at their faith's kingdom hall despite the repeated objections of the child's mother.. the girl is identified only as a.w.

Where does the Society stand on Uniformitarianism?
by marmot inmy dad doesn't like the fact that i've come to accept the theory of evolution.
he always accuses me of unquestioningly "buying into" what scientists say and says i don't apply critical thinking to the problem.
so now i've decided to tackle his claim at the roots.

by marmot ini've exhausted my google-fu and come up empty, the only image link i found was to a dead filesharing service.. i need to show this to a family member and they're skeptical of "apostate lies" on the internet..

With all the WT's eschatology and prophetic interpretation, why is there no mention of Islam?
by marmot inyou'd think that the third major abrahamic religion would be of interest to the witnesses and their fanciful interpretation of just about anything written in the bible, especially with the white-hot relevance islam has in current affairs and the middle east.
not only that, islam had a huge influence on european history, with conquering armies and direct control over jehovah's supposed holy city of jerusalem.. american christian fundamentalists trip over themselves trying to connect all the dots in scripture so why hasn't the watchtower society?
laziness?

i could only find the article in french, but you can use google translate.
i remember this guy vividly and it churns my stomach to think of what he did to that poor girl.

JWs: the original anti-vaxxers
by marmot inhttp://www.quotes-watchtower.co.uk/vaccination.html.
anyone not living under a rock has certainly heard of this ridiculous trend to not vaccinate children for various pseudoscientific bull**** reasons but not everyone knows that jehovah's witnesses used to be at the forefront of the movement.
some of the quotes in the link i posted above are completely batsh** crazy, i encourage newbies to have a read through..

How do flood apologists explain these?
by marmot inspear points dating to thousands of years before the flood (or even adam's alleged creation, for that matter) found preserved in situ among mammoth bones in naco, arizona.. or the 14,000 year-old footprint of a child at a mammoth hunting camp unearthed in a bog in monte verde, chile:.
the kicker is that this isn't even the oldest evidence for human settlement of the americas.
since the wt loves to trot out frozen mammoth carcasses as "proof" that mammoths died in the flood, who were these mammoth eaters in north america?
