by mankkeli ineffects of the evolution theory.
in the early 19th century, religion and science enjoyed a fairly amicable relationship.
just two years before the origin of species was published, biologist and harvard professor louis agassiz wrote that the living world shows premeditation, wisdom, greatness and that a major purpose of natural history was to analyze the thoughts of the creator of the universe.. agassiz viewpoint was not uncommon.

by mankkeli inin the previous thread of this series, i called lurkers attention to the need of being discreet when contemplating an exit from the jw religion.

When does God visit a person?
by mankkeli ini copied this from a friend's wall on facebook .
often times, god does not visit a man until his case has been declared humanly impossible, closed or dead.
when men say, it is over!

Why should we be asked to be born again?
by mankkeli inin the first case, it wasn't our choice to be born, so why should we be asked to be born again?.

If Jerusalem destruction was truly significant- Why would an almighty God allow so much confusion regarding the date?
by mankkeli ini was just thinking that if truly the destruction of jerusalem would have any significance today, why should there be so much confusion surrounding its date and discrepancies regarding the names of those neo-babylonian kings.. .
if truly that event was significant, why should it be so difficult for the almighty god to pen down the exact date in the bible and shield us from unnecessary debates, reliance on scholars and opaque explanations from religions with ulterior motives?.
i cant comprehend any reason to justify the silence from god on this date.. .
