  The truth is... that if Jesus wrote anything down it didn't make it into the Bible.

  key quote:.

  many believe that life came about by evolution.... ummmm, no...that's abiogenesis, not evolution.

  no evolutionist says that "life came about by evolution.

  LOL!
  

  The other one that really gets me is the 'we evolved from monkeys' religious theory.

  Noooo... we had a common ancestor. That's why there are humans and monkeys today. (It actually should be apes but I won't split hairs here).

  Paint Nite - fun evening and a new hobby

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  we (and by 'we', i mean my wife) decided that we should try something new and she, erm, i mean 'we', liked the idea of painting.

  so i enthusiastically (i.e.

  begrudgingly) went along for the night to the "pain nite" event she'd booked us for a couple of weeks ago.. the premise is pretty simple: it's held in a pub or restaurant, all the art supplies are provided, the instructor then walks you through how to reproduce a painting they have chosen for the night and you have a glass of wine or beer, do some painting, have something to eat, have some more wine, more painting, more wine, realize you are drinking the dirty paint water and so on.. here's the site: https://www.paintnite.com/.

  Simon, this is excellent!
  

  Simon said: Painting is a great way to switch off and focus on something else and be creative.

  I agree. I wish I had more time for fun things like this.

  Where Does Jehovah Live?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when my niece was very little (over 20 years ago), barely walking or talking, my mother decided to teach her "where jehovah lives".

  she would coach her and say, "where does jehovah live?

  " in a sing-song voice.

  Designer Stubble is correct. Botchtower claims Jehovah lives in the Pleiades, also called the Seven Sisters. It is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.
  

  Even though you can see the cluster with the naked eye at night, you still can't see Jehovah.

  Giant fruit in Canaan/TNS

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok bible scholars, do i have this right?.

  jehoopla promised the israelites lots of great stuff in the promised land, but they didn't believe him so they sent spies to check it out.

  they came back with fruit so large it had to be carried on a branch by 2 men.. from this, dubs believe they are going to have strawberries the size of king king's skull when they get to their own promised land (the new system).

  I don't know about Canaan but the Jackfruit is the largest tree borne fruit. Grows in the tropics.

  
  

  From Wikipedia:

  It is native to parts of South and Southeast Asia, and is believed to have originated in the southwestern
  rain forests of India, in present-day Goa, Kerala, coastal Karnataka, and Maharashtra. The jackfruit tree is
  well suited to tropical lowlands, and its fruit is the largest tree-borne fruit, reaching as much as 35 kg (80 lb)
  in weight, 90 cm (35 in) in length, and 50 cm (20 in) in diameter.
  
  The jackfruit tree is a widely cultivated and popular food item in tropical regions of India, Bangladesh, Nepal,
  Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Jackfruit is also found
  across Africa (e.g., in Cameroon, Uganda, Tanzania, Madagascar, São Tomé and Príncipe, Ethiopia, and
  Mauritius), as well as throughout Brazil, west-central Mexico, and in Caribbean nations such as Jamaica.
  Jackfruit is the national fruit of Bangladesh.

  debating this was going to be the last day in field service was not hard after dealing with a nasty mess because i was grouped with the misfits of the kingdom hall!

  i was reading this website on my phone while something started to stink in my car and one of the weird kids nobody wanted to work with yelled "hey, you leaking all over my seat, he was freaked out too!

  " the older, retired elder, his pioneer daughter had forgotten to put his depends on and that became my problem.

  What disturbs me in the OP is that the daughter forgot to put Dad's Depends (aka disposable underpants) on. Ok, I looked after my Father who needed these and I NEVER forgot to do that... I don't understand how you could.

  B the X said: ToMo3 was on the broadcast condemning "higher education". And what was one of the reasons it was so bad? Because people were doing it in an effort to earn more money. How worldly! Such materialism is unacceptable!

  This, right here, shows that the GB are suffering from some kind of psychosis.

  I have a very difficult time reading their material. It's the same regurgitated bile year after year. I started watching one of their first videos and had the same nauseating response I get from their printed material.

  I took over my Dad's finances in 2011. He suffers from dementia. He was a Ministerial Servant. The money flow from his wallet and bank account came to a screeching halt under Heaven's new management. He was giving them thousands of dollars.

  They now receive the sum total of jack shite.

  This is what happens when you damage/destroy families Botchtower! You can go F*ck Yourselves.
