Do men have a greater "creative genius"?
by perfectpie inwhat comes to your mind when you think of the great minds of the past?.
for me it is da vinci, michaelangelo, manet, monet, picasso, van gogh,.
jerome; closer to today nelson shanks and maybe daniel green.. musically: mozart, beethoven, chopin, hayden, bach.. science: darwin, hawkings, einstein, edisen.. psychology: freud, otto rank, ernest becker.. there are many other fields you could name and with them other creative geniuses and/or great minds.

Product Advice - Digital Cameras
by Celtic indo any of you know anything about digital cameras, as i need some advice on buying one.. the family are in the antiquarian print and map dealing business.
many of the old steel engravings are black and white with very fine detail, ink clarity in various stages due to fade out from age, early 1600's - 1860's.. we are looking to put some of these images onto the internet in specialised hosting communities that deal with this business.
image size flat is from a few inches square to 24"x20"+.. which camera would be particularly well suited to the purpose and which features would we be needing ideally?

Should I call the local elders
by joelbear inwitnesses always say if you have questions, you should discuss them with the local elders.. most of you have seen over the past few days, the 5 or 6 questions which led me to leave the witnesses and take up my hedonistic lifestyle.. should i call the elders and give them a chance to answer my questions?
i've asked my father some of them, but it always turns into an argument and upsets my mother too much for me to really pursue the discussion as far as i would like.. just to reiterate.. my questions are:.
1. is there a logical explanation of god's justice system for the universe, which includes all sentient creatures and how they are judged?.

NBA fans please read
by perfectpie inwhile drinking beer and gin/tonics at a sports bar, my friend and i argued over who the best nba team would be.
please give us some help and tell who you think would win this game in a best of 7 series in a neutral court.
keep in mind that all the players are in their prime and consider how these would play as a unit as much as their career stats.

Undeserved kindness vs. Grace
by TweetieBird inyou guys are probably going to think this is silly of me, but i have always wondered why the society, in the nwt and all of their literature always uses the term "undeserved kindness" and never the term "grace.
" is it because the churches of christendom use the term grace, therefore it is bad?.
i know that undeserved kindness is suppose to mean the same as grace, but is it really?

How we Know that Evolution is a Fact
by JanH inthere has been a number of threads related to evolution in the last month or so.
some posters, like penn, subscribes to a form of creationism, which i for this purpose will define as denial of large scale evolution (sometimes called macro-evolution).. even saner people sometimes alleges that scientists are unnecessarily 'dogmatic' about evolution, and that this is 'just a theory.
' these people may be recent exjws or jws, still believing the watchtower propaganda against evolutionary science, or accepting similar claims from various fundamentalist preachers and groups.
