Some Jews and Christians have long considered the creation account of Genesis as an allegory instead of as historical description,
Somehow I don't think that included the founders of Christianity or the early church

below i will show these reasons.. .

Kingdom Hall Sale Proceeds
by The Searcher injust spoke with a relative who's been serving as an elder for decades.
when i innocently asked him why a congregation which was "merging" with his congregation could not use their sale proceeds to jointly purchase an urgently needed new k.h.

Why can't the elders and rank and file members see what is being done to them?

Carnivorous birds before 1975
by TheFadingAlbatros inwho among you has ever heard of carnivorous birds, birds of the kind of vulture, increasing in number at lightning speed on some mystery island located on our planet ?
twice in europe before 1975, once through a co talk in a "kingdom" hall and once again by i do not exactly remember who during a jws' convention.
and all this in order to prepare jws to be as fit as a fiddle for an universal carnage orchestrated supposedly by the true god intending to very soon annihilate "worldly" people not belonging to his chosen ones.

Ha Ha! I vaguely remember this, all I could think about was the decimation of raptors in the UK due to the insecticide DDT. I hoped we would see more birds of prey here. Strangely enough when I was a child in the 70's buzzards were very rare, they are now the most common bird of prey in the UK.....................Armageddon must be close, -

If we evolved and are simply animals, why the hell do Christians need to exist?
What were we being redeemed from?
When did humans evolve a soul?
Acceptance of evolution completely negates Christianity!

Äkta Människor (Real Humans)
by Simon inwe've just started watching this swedish parallel-present series about human-like robots (hubots) seeking independence.. its really well done but subtitled (if you didn't mind the original "girl with the dragon tattoo") and the best description of it i was saw the stepford wives meets blade runner.
kind of creepy and unsettling and touches on some adult themed topics (robots for sex).. anyone else seen it?
i only started watching because i was too lazy to get up and get the remote one night but it was pretty gripping.. .

There is a series on Channel 4 starting this week, called "Humans", sounds very similar. Shame I am in Canada and won't be able to watch it until I get back.

Religious ideas need to be ridiculed, stupidity and ignorance should not be left unchallenged.
Better to be mocked and ridiculed than beheaded, burnt at the stake or imprisoned, which is religion's answer to "heresy".

We are not suppose to do it , so what happened when a JW is possessed by a demon. Take them into field service ?
You know the answer...
More Prayer
More Study
More Field Service .......
.......and probably more contributions wouldn't go amiss

Proof - of what?
by Doltologist ina few weeks ago, these two jovies turned up on my doorstep.
being in a good mood that particular day, i told them that if they could prove that god existed, i'd become a jovie - and i meant every word.. they gave me two documents which they asked me read and told me that they'd be back in a week.
the first was called "was life created?
