  why, if you're a health care worker who's been exposed to the ebola virus, would you get on an airplane and travel right after?.

  Sam Whiskey: in other words, god will kill all the unbelievers and that make you happy. Well that sounds perfectly sane...

  Must be frustrating to have your nutty beliefs invalidated every few months :-).

  nonjwspouse: "Bohm, using tape is NOT going to protect these people. ( kinda obvious now huh? But to anyone with COMMON SENSE it was already obvious."

  no, sure, and there will be other cases, other fuckups, other health workers infected.. just like with every other contageous disease. I just don't see why there are reasons to be alarmed at this point since *most* african countries seem able to cope.

  Nonjwspouse: it spread because they did not follow procedures. Now, plenty of people gets infected every day by all sorts of things in hospitals and it dont mean a lot. If this can be kept relatively under control by most african countries i just dont see why people are so worried.

  Want to bet it wont spread much in the us?

  Yes 900 top scientists, each and everyone from top universities and with an extensive publication record in fields strongly connected to evolutionary biology has used their expert knowledge to determine there are problems with evolution.

  This is certainly worth noticing, take for instance Mark Apkarian, one of the 900 top scientists who first obtained his PhD from the university of mexico in the field of ... kinesiology ... now employed at the top-rated ... biola university ... with an extensive publication record of ... no publications at all.

  Certainly when Mark Apkarian says something, the scientific world listens!

  Or to take another from the list, Suzanne Phillips, a professor of biology and (supposedly, however her webpage does not tell) leader of the biology department of the internationally acclaimed university of ... Southwestern Adventist University ... a position she landed based on her strong publications record composed of ... 5 articles ... not all of which she is the first author.

  Lol. Not everyone on the list is a a joke, but you don't quite get the impression it is too hard to make the list if you have a PhD in something or another. More to the point, if we should be convinced by a person having a PhD, then would that not mean we should all subscribe to evolution since this is what most PhDs believe?

  Accounts of Jesus From Hostile Ancient Sources

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from ancient accounts hostile to christinity, we can learn the following:.

  jesus was born and lived in palestine.

  he was born, supposedly, to a virgin and had an earthly father who was a carpenter.

  shadow:

  An insignificant, illiterate, itinerant preacher with a tiny following, who went wholly unnoticed by any literate person in Judaea somehow started a religion that changed the world.

  Yes, it is indeed very interesting. I am just now listening to a podcast on the first world war; did you know that the assasination attempt on Franz Ferdinand first failed and it was only by a series of coincidences the would-be assasin later that day came near Ferdinand when his car accidently stalled outside the bar where the assasin was eating a sandwhich? We could aks the same question: how did an insignificant serbian nationalist who desided to eat a sandwhich somehow cause WW1 and WW2?

  Jesus started a small religion like so many others; then by wild coincidences, and because the historical circumstances was correct, that religion grew (and changed properly beyond all recognition!) to take over the remains of the roman empire and here we are today.

  How to tell how effective JW.TV will be

  by bohm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is a simple and obvious way to tell how effective jw.tv is going to be:.

  in the past, how effective has religious tv been for you?

  has watching religious tv made by moonies, evangelists, mormons or scientologists made you seriously reflect on spirituality?

  jwfacts: if you made it to the end you deserve a medal :-).

  Anyway, I think the use of rock music to give a more popular appeal is GREAT news. The obvious point to compare against is the the evangelic church in the US which is strugling very badly to retain the younger generation:

  http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/16/opinion/sunday/the-decline-of-evangelical-america.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

  if there is one trend I associate with the evangelic church is is the attempt to make it appear more "cool" to the younger generation using all the techniques middle-age people assume teenagers think are cool like bad rock music, books and tv programs with biblical themes. This obviously isn't a recipe that guarantes success.
