  i just started to watch the february broadcast when i noticed a metallic rattle over the drone of sam's voice.

  (does that man speak with a mouth full of chowin' tobacco or is he choking on the rubbish he reads off the autocue?).

  yep it's his rolex.

  Splash What convinces you that it's a copy?

  First of all the colour of the gold is wrong as the dial colour. The Blue bezel insert and gold dial even if they were correct colour would be an incorrect combination except on a gold certi dial which that is not as you would see the stones. Bracelet is the wrong proportion for a 18K Oyster band. Basically it just looks wrong.

  Natural "gene therapy" occurs in nature - The Emerald Green Sea Slug, uses genes from the algae on which it feeds.

  2. beliefs

  the authors of a paper presented in the biological bulletin have provided the first direct evidence that the emerald green sea slug, an unusual little beast in that it helps sustain itself by photosynthesis, has within its chromosomes genes that come from the algae it eats.. this is an example of gene transfer from one species to another.

  in effect this is exactly what the the goal of gene therapy is.

  it is anticipated that gene therapy techniques will prevent many genetically based diseases in humans.

  It would go some way to solving the issue of hunger! And we could then say that "little green men exist".....

  The authors of a paper presented in The Biological Bulletin have provided the first direct evidence that the emerald green sea slug, an unusual little beast in that it helps sustain itself by photosynthesis, has  within its chromosomes genes that come from the algae it eats.

  This is an example of gene transfer from one species to another. In effect this is exactly what the the goal of gene therapy is. It is anticipated that gene therapy techniques will prevent many genetically based diseases in humans. 

  In the UK a type of gene of therapy was given approval in the House of Commons yesterday (three parent IVF). Some religious leaders opposed this important decision. Isn't it ironic that their protestations are rebutted by nature itself. Anyway enjoy the article.

  Devolution, not evolution

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  scientists discovered an organism that has not evolved in more than 2 billion years (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150203104131.htm) .

  one can dismiss this as an exception*!

  yet overwhelming proofs are too obvious to miss if we take the community as an individual (community is the reflection of the behavior pattern of the individuals that make up the whole).

  Abiather your six points have nothing to do with evolution. You make no sense at all in your opening post.

  It is NOT a Rolex. I have been collecting and trading in them for 15 years. It is a cheap watch in the style of a Sub.

  Send money to KH in lieu of flowers.

  by Jack Miller in

  2. scandals

  "in lieu of flowers send money to the kingdom hall"..... wow.... this young woman's jw servant husband was caught cheating on her again with another jw "sister", but when she told her husband she wanted to forgive him again and continue with her marriage, he told her he didn't want that.

  he wanted her to simply move on with her life.here is how she moved on: she put on her wedding dress, got into her car in the garage and started it.

  do you think finding her this way spoke louder than any suicide note?

  some of you may have seen my previous post regarding my concerns with leaving the organization.. so many of you responded and were so kind and helpful, that is was rather overwhelming.

  i didn't expect so many responses.

  a lot of you also provided links to research as well as some books to read.

  Just keep moving forward, don't look back. Your life will be rewarding and fulfilling without the influence of the cult if you maintain a positive, goal driven attitude. Congratulations on your decisions so far.

  No such thing as history

  by woodforde in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why do you think it is that wts limit accessibility to watchtowers and awakes to only issues since year 2000 on jworg?

  a whiff of something slightly orwellian?

  not a case of re-writing history but nixing it altogether?
