band on the run, i do like what you write. when i first read your posts when you started here i was a little confused, but that might have been the language barrier, i'm an austrian (= german to you over there) after all. i'm as atheist as it gets, but i'd sign most of what you wrote here lately.

this site sucks! its just a buncha athiest on soap boxes.
by crossquestions6995 inthis site is not a healthy forum for discussion or healing.
its an arena for jaded athiests to bash anything christian or god related.
yes, i know the jw's lied to us about god and the truth.

you have the bloody knife with fingerprints on it, you got blood stains in the car, you got dna tests -> high probability you accused the right person.
on the other hand you got some spirit medium that telepathically tells you who commited the murder without any further evidence -> pretty weak, don't you think?

Why Is A Tiny Ant More Complex Than A Religious Persons God?
by JamesThomas inwe never hear of people speaking in the name of ants.
never do people say this or that is what an ant wants, or this is what will make an ant like you, or hate you, etc.
we just don't know how ants think.

in informatics, there's the common technique to generate complex software from simple software. it's called bootstrapping. god must be really really simple to be the source of all this.

More WT Propaganda: 10 Year Old Children Should Get Baptized!
by Oubliette ini just caught this in an upcoming study article which will be "studied" in the congregations the week of 11/18-24/13:.
he and his wife were elated when their eldest daughter, age ten, told them that she loved her parents, loved the brothers and sisters, and loved jehovah very much.
she said that she wanted to dedicate her life to jehovah and get baptized.

> Good question Blondie: 'do you think there's any record of 10 year olds getting baptized in the first century?'
> The answer is clearly no!
actually the answer is not clearly no. as the story goes whole families were baptized, no mention of their age.

time to reboot jwn??? attn. tech49, formerlongtime elder, others.
by nowwhat? infirst of all let me start by saying who am i to judge, but... i understand jwn has completely evolved over the years, but what i would like to see a forum that has current members and former jw's that still live by bible principles and respect the bible, but are not afraid to call out the watchtower on their practices and revised history.
i think quality posters as mentioned above, after venting their frustrations and experiences realize this website is taken over by athiests.
and punk kids-[ see similar post.

Deceptive WT Quotes
by Vanderhoven7 inare there other wts quotes, such as the following, that clearly demonstrate deception (cover up) on the part of the organization.. "jehovah's witnesses have consistently shown from the scriptures that the year 1914 marked the beginning of this world's time of the end and that "the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men" has drawn near.
" watchtower 1993 aug 15 p.9.
"the "time of the end," a period of one hundred and fifteen (115) years, from a.d. 1799 to a.d. 1914, is particularly marked in the scriptures.

i was just digging around my old JWN accounts that i lost access to and found a few nice threads like this one:
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/101120/1/making-1914-crumble#.Uonl9GQkE5k
"'It was in B.C. 606, that God's kingdom ended, the diadem was removed, and all the earth given up to the Gentiles. 2520 years from B.C. 606, will end in A.D. 1914.' - The Three Worlds, published in 1877, page 83."
footnote: "Providentially, those Bible Students had not realized that there is no zero year between "B.C." and "A.D." Later, when research made it necessary to adjust B.C. 606 to 607 BC, the zero year was also eliminated, so that the prediction held good at "A.D. 1914." - See "The Truth Shall Make You Free," published by the Watch Tower Society in 1943, page 239."

not quite buying it. how would that go on for 12 years. plus the "god protected me" and the reference to internet porn at the end, sounds more like some agenda than a real account.

10,000 year old spear point found in FL - man is only 6,000 years old?
by Comatose inhttp://www.cnn.com/2013/11/16/us/florida-spring-artifacts/index.html?hpt=hp_c2.
as evidence piles up, will we reach a tipping point where people begin accepting the age of humans existence?.
he described as "phenomenal" the preservation of the finds, whose location as many as 5 feet deep in oxygen-free sediment had protected them from decay.. they include a suwannee projectile point -- a spear point -- whose estimated age of 10,000 years puts it "right at the cusp of the end of the ice age," arbuthnot said.
