Everywhere early man colonized, within years most large animals went extinct, and many many others.

There are 7 times as many Cows, Chickens, Pigs, Sheep, than ALL other mammals on earth.

•In Australia—earliest humans: 64,000 years ago; extinction of major mammals--30,000-60,000 years ago

•In the Americas—80% of large animals became extinct around the same time as first human presence there

Has anyone ever been to an assembly with NO baptisms

by Nikki collins in

just curious if anyone has ever been to an assembly with zero baptisms.

if not, i see that happening soon and cant wait for that awkward day!.

iwantoutnow

Yes at a Circuit Assembly about 7 years ago.

We had about 2200 people, and NO dunks.

FYI - since I gave many assembly talks, I remember the CO talking to the elder who was doing the baptism talk that in case there are none, this is what to do.

Angels are Neuter Gender According to JW`s

by smiddy3 in

what about the bible ,does that agree with the jw theology ?.

therefore angels are sexless ,yet we find in the bible on a few occasions where they have lusted after women ,taken a mans form and had sex with women.. .on one occasion producing hybrids half human half angel.. on other occasions they just wanted to satisfy their sexual desires.?

their sexless aren`t they ?

iwantoutnow

They Angels came down - became men and took women, as many as they wanted.

So that makes them "think" MALE.

Anyway - Talking about the Gender of "spirit creatures" is like talking about if the Characters of My Little Pony are male or female.

Are You Still “Technically “ A Jehovah’s Witness?

by minimus in

jw
friends

if we haven’t associated with the congregation in years, could it be said we are not jws?

or must you be disfellowshipped or disassociated to officially say you really aren’t a witness?.

I have not been DFed, nor have I DAed myself.

No one knows of anything that I may have done that was "wrong".

That has not stopped 99% of everyone I had know to shun me.

Conducting the B School

by Solzhenitsyn in

so how many of us who conducted the b school have the reoccurring flashbacks every damn time we now pomo, put our hand on blinds to raise or lower them?.

we either fiddled with lowering them every week as we got the school underway or fiddled with to raise them to "listen in to the #3 in progress" up front.

every time i grab the pull string or the louver adjustment wand anywhere i inevitably have a kh ops moment of pause.

I was the Theo School Overseer for 10 years.

I can't think of a LESS effective way of teaching anyone anything.

JW`s Claim Their religion is Based Solely on The Bible.

by smiddy3 in

well here are a few words that the watchtower / jw`s religion frequently use that do not appear in the bible , either , old testament or the new testament.. organization , sovereignty , reinstatement , governing body .. and in the christian greek scriptures ,the kingdom interlinear that the jw`s published themselves , a word for word translation of the greek to english does not contain the name / word jehovah ......nowhere ..

iwantoutnow

Hmm,

So ask any of them to show in the Bible, clear evidence of:

1. A governing body that has any function or authority resembling the current GB. To that, have them show you where it says Governing Body in the bible anywhere? (remind them of what JWs say as to why the word Trinity doesn't appear in the bible to catholics)

2. Use the bible to clearly identify the year 1914 as special?

3. Show clear evidence for "overlapping generations".

Wait for crickets.

Of course the entire "religion" is based on those 3 things.
