The Birth of the Universe - Scientific Breakthrough

by cofty in

researchers working with a telescope at the south pole beleive they have glimpsed light from the first "trillionth of a trillionth of a tillionth" of a second after the big bang.. a lot of work has still to be done to confirm the findings, but if it holds up it is one of the biggest discoveries ever.. _________________________________________.

...inflation came with a very specific prediction - that it would be associated with waves of gravitational energy, and that these ripples in the fabric of space would leave an indelible mark on the oldest light in the sky - the famous cosmic microwave background.. the bicep2 team says it has now identified that signal.

scientists call it b-mode polarisation.

whenever I talk about the big bang theory to j-dubs i always use the "Jehovah" angle to keep their spidey-senses from tingling.

Ironic that the dubs will accept the evolution of the univers over billions of years but as soon as you talk about dinosuars their eyes gloss over and then insist they were killed in the flood.

how can you accept the creation of matter and planets in the universe, processes that repeat over billions of years and then get to the dinosuars and insist science "doesn't know anything" and that mountains were created by the wieght of water that swirled around the atmosphere unitl God made it fall down?

So God uses physics to create the universe naturally but then plays magic tricks with earth? what a joke

Will the GB be alive at armageddon(tm)?

by punkofnice in

ok. i don't believe that the watchtower(r) armageddon(tm) is anything but fantasy.. i do recall speculation about how the 'anointed(tm)' might all be dead before the big 'a' or that some will survive through it and help the r&f.

i heard brothers speculating that after the big 'a' the 'anointed(tm)' would be spirited away to heaven.. i wonder what they think will happen to the gb on, before or after the big 'a' now?.

yes this was finally confirmed with the now infamous July 15, 2013 WT. The debate as to what would happen prior to that was confused ever since the 90's reference to the Nephunem (sp?) looking after the org. after all the anointed die before Armageddon.

July 15 WT finally came out said: all anointed will be "physically" dead BEFORE armageddon..... ie: raptured

and then an "unknown period of time" will pass until the big A actually occurs. Or maybe they said "immediately after" the rapture the big A will take place. I can't remember. I don't really care anymore

by kneehighmiah in

jw
friends

our insightful posters on this site were able to predict the new "spirit directed" generation teachings and fds teaching even years in advance.

the GB seems to be copying the strategy of the new Pope Francis

whatever the Catholic church does this year, the GB will copy it and come out with a JW version of it at the assembly

i also agree with Keyser.... a reasoning book revision is looooooooooooong over due

New Policy on Inactive Ones?

by Cynisister in

this may have been discussed, but i just recently was told that a km this past year stated that inactive ones are now to be treated as if they are df'd.

is this so?

as many have stated, this is not a "written" rule. But anyone here that regularly attends meetings still can read the implications that strongly suggest to do so.

I have been seeing inferences to such behaviour repeatedly over the past couple of years.

Unassailable Truth about Creation

by Slidin Fast in

it is rare to have absolute proof of the fact that the borg is categorically wrong.. the recent discovery of hominid footprints in happisburgh, norfolk, england is one such.

these footprints are of a family of people who walked in the soft mud 800/850 thousand years ago.

this is properly substantiated fact not open to dismissal.. further evidence in the uk shows the use of flint tools in hunting and butchering animals again accurately dated to 450,000/500,000 yearsthe bible traces adams creation to something over 6000 years ago.

carbon dating or not, scientists think they're sooooo smart... EVERYBODY knows that man's wisdom is foolishness to Jehovah

science is soooo stupid! They don't know anything useful!

Jehovah made my wifi cellphone AND the internet!
