with the book crisis of conscience detailing the turbulence at bethel during the early to mid 70's, the transformation from autocratic rule to governance by committee or a body of men, many of us can speak to how that felt among the rank and file of the local congregations during those years.
we learned new concepts based in large part to research done for the aid to bible understanding volume, then we were asked or coerced into unlearning those principles, going back to the old ways.
some of us never readjusted, finding ourselves very different from our more hardline compadres.. the inertia for the changes that eventually were initiated in the congregations came from the discovery that the greek words episkopos and presbyteros were used biblically to refer to all qualified men in a congregation, not just one.

they got the dna to prove it.
there are other dna studies, too - although the ones i've heard about concluded that it was an unknown primate, not a human.

Why don't you ask Outlaw about his experience, and then, if you dare, ridicule him.

i really do not understand how any can be athiests from thinking real hard about it.
how can you think everything on this earth just happened?.
from my understanding, to be athiest, this is pretty much how it goes.
Okay, children.
You demand of believers to produce God for you, otherwise, you say He does not exist.
I demand that you provide proof of your silly theories as to how life began on earth. Not a bunch of flawed experiments in a lab, but real world proof.

Alright, EP, let me go get a tissue to wipe the tears of laughter rolling down my cheeks.

Atheists don't demand anything from theists, as far as I am aware.Now, who sounds like the stupid one?
The lurkers who believe in God are probably falling out of their seats laughing, especially if they've been reading JWD/JWN for a few years.
