Why doesn't god do anything tangible now?
by punkofnice ini was always told that god did loads of stuff that was evidence of his existance.
ususally very brutal things too (b#st@rd).. jesus walked on water and raised the dead we are told.. it seems to me also that the older the story, the more exaggerated it is...y'know...talking snake......global flood.. there are those that claim god speaks to them now and they alone 'know' it.
(cuckoo!!!).

Netherlands is a great for Information Technology. There are lots of companies that have their global datacenters here, the entire country has fiber connectivity and there ar many IT professionals - also amongst the JWs... So, this is a understandable Business decision and that is what it is - a business decision.

Thanks for the update. Living in the Netherlands and having family still in the organization, this is of special interest to me.

The JW cart/booth nonsense

Since when can visiting the sick & elderly be counted as FS time?
I have heard pioneers complain the do not have time for this as they had to get their hours in.

Do You Consider Yourself An "Apostate"?

Nice to see an illustration re-used over and over again. I think I heard it in a talk 30 years ago.

This photo woke me up
by krejames in.
i was already on my way to my second fade when i went to the wildlife photographer of the year 2012 exhibition, but this photo made me lose faith in the idea of a loving creator......(the gazelle has been injured by the mother cheetah so she can use it to train her cubs to hunt).

Six examples of less fluffy Creation proving a less loving creator!
1. The Cuckoo
Female cuckoos don’t bother making nests and incubating their eggs . They simply find an existing nest with a clutch of eggs already inside it and then, when she sees an opening, she surreptitiously deposits an egg. When the nest owner returns, she is unaware that she is now sitting on someone else’s egg. Soon, the baby cuckoo hatches and proceeds to shove the original eggs out of the nest. Mom is left with an adopted child she never asked for and none of her own.
2. Japanese Giant Hornet
This lovely creature looks for food by searching out beehives, then calling in reinforcements. The couple dozen Giant Hornets spend the next couple of hours ripping the heads off of the tens of thousands of bees courageously guarding their nests. When finally all the bees lie asunder and dying, the hornets enter the nest and steal the children. They then carry them off to their own children, who will eat them. Kind of like when Israel ransacked Jericho.
3. Human bot fly
God created this awe-inspiring animal in such a way that it lays eggs right on top of a mosquito. The violated mosquito then lands on a human, where the eggs rub off. The nice, warm body heat of the human gives the eggs the signal they need to hatch. The little hatchlings then burrow into the skin and live under there.
4. The Blue-ringed Octopus
Unlike other animals, which often kill to eat, the octopus just bites whenever it feels scared. God shows his mercy and kindness in this bite, which immediately numbs the mouth and tongue, blurs the vision and creates paralysis. There is no known antivenom, but if you can round up some of your friends, they can perform CPR on you for several hours until the venom wears off.
5. Ichneumon Wasps
This example of Godly benevolence lays its eggs right inside a living host. God even gave the females freakishly long ovipositors so that they can jab, syringe-style, right into a caterpillar’s body and push out their eggs . Upon hatching, the larval begin feeding on the STILL LIVING host. Since even baby wasps like fresh meat, they take precaution not to kill their host. Right away. At first, they chomp on non-essential organs, waiting until they are ready to leave the ‘nest’ before consuming the brain.
6. Leucochloridium paradoxum
The complexity of the lifecycle of Leucochloridium paradoxum has to count for something. I mean - complexity = designer right? In this case the parasite requires two hosts at different stages. The birds get the easy bit. The parasite just wants to live in the gut for a while and get pooped out. The nasty part is when the snail eats the bird dropping and starts it's role as host. The parasites multiply in the snails tentacles and seem to drive it to suicide. It will go out in the open waiting for a bird to end its misery. And the cycle continues. Oh the beauty of creation!
