Challenge to Creationists

by cofty in

in response to the 37 threads in my evolution is a fact series - see bottom of op for links - perry posted a link to an article "44 reasons why evolution isn't true".. i offered him a challenge on the thread and by pm.

predictably he is totally ignoring it, so i am offering the challenge to any evolution-denier who thinks they have evidence to support their position.. please present one specific piece of evidence for creationism.. my task will be to refute it with evidence within 24 hours.. then i will present one piece of evidence for evolution and your challenge will be the same.. all posts must be as succinct as reasonably possible.

entirely in your own words, without copy-paste, videos or links.. please post your interest to take part and we will set it up before the first actual post in the exchange.

Can anyone allay my suspicions?

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

can you allay my suspicions of wt associated activity?.

during the last 3 to 4 co visits, i noticed a predeliction on the part of the ladt few co's for taking photos at fs meetings and photos of cong at end of visit.

i'm beginning to suspect that such is not because the co's have a newly found socially engaging disposition (being cool).

Are you in the us?

on reddit, a poster mentioned a new Berthel department to gather info on people including demographics and monetary situation. You are the second person to subsequently mention info gathering..

JW Broadcasting reeks of desperation

by oldskool in

again, i'm a decade removed from the faith.

i'm catching up now, and can't believe what i'm seeing.. i get that jw leadership faced a dilemma.

there is no intellectual apparatus within the faith.

oldskool:

Do kingdom halls have screens now? Or televisions?

You have been out for a long time :-D.

Screens, projectors, etc. is installed in halls in western countries. Instead of having small demonstrations at the wednesday meeting they now show videos. Less audience input...

Open mind: could be to indicate it happened many years ago, to show she must be shunned for years for it to work

Wow thanks. The site (avoidjw.org) looks really nicely done too.

Anything that is particular worth reading?

I am a bit surprised higher education or evolution was not mentioned under the "subtle attacks"

The Watchtower's method to show that it was appointed in 1919 CE

by Doug Mason in

please note that when you tell me of the corrections i need to make that this is a simplfied, minimalist presentation dealing with the society's appointment in 1919.. it is available as a powerpoint show: http://www.jwstudies.com/appointed_in_1919.ppsx .

and as a pdf: http://www.jwstudies.com/appointed_in_1919.pdf.

Thanks for the presentation. I must admit I have given up occasionally in your longer documents because I simply lost track of the details, but this way of breaking things down makes it a lot less scary. Have you considered making this into a youtube video where you use this as a slide-show and talk the reader though the presentation?

New facts from germany

by crazy_flickering_light in

maybe some of you interested in this:.

between 11/2015 and 05/2016 they merged in germany 48 congs into 24 congs.

in this time they build 16 language-groups and 3 sign-language-groups.

bohm

Sorry to ask stupid questions, but more congregations can use the same building?

whats the difference between a language congregation and an ordinary?

Beards - September 2016 Watchtower

by Listener in

the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.

it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?

the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.

Dear writing department,

we would like you to prepare an article which clearly layes out our position on beards. To summarize it, brother Tony would like to remark Beards are not for christians but only for "transvestites, drug users, mexicans and other perverts", brother Morris points out all jews had Beards and in fact is obligatory under the mosaic law and brother lett remarks it is not something the bible teaches a specific position on.

please state our position in simple terms suitable for instructing the Christian congregation in the coming decades and importantly with full scriptual support.

with Christian love,

the governing body.
