  this is a game changer.

  Over and over again it reminds us Evolution gradualism and transmutation as well as mud puddle magic (abiogenesis) is NOT in the fossil record.

  How you expect there would be micro organisms in the fossil record?

  QC I curious about your thoughts on the Cambrian explosion before this book came out with its cartoons and non-science. Did you feel the same way, or did your thorough education in evolution still leave you unconvinced? Did you accept the fact of evolution before, after being thoroughly educated about it?

  Or will you just continue to avoid reading or replying to us 'acceptors of facts and reality' thus showing yourself even more ignorant?

  A Cry for Help

  i have been lurking here for months now, and i just decided to post here and actually interact with this community.

  i have a very specific/unordinary life, so i will not divulge too much information to protect my privacy.

  i am a baptized publisher who is under the age of 25 who attends college, and i do have responsiblities within the congregation.

  Time to start making friends at college, if you can. Miss more meetings, quit service altogether. Once you develop a decent support group outside the JWs it will hurt a lot less once you leave altogether. Your family will just chalk it up to the demonic influence of higher education. They may not cut you off if you don't get DFed,though they will always try to 'encourage' you.

  I know what u mean about being the only one with eyes wide open among family who not only buys right into it, but fully depends on the cult for normality and hope. Just be glad you woke up while young, before you are married or have kids. There are many who would just up and leave in your situation because of the simplicity of it all.

  Whatever you do, do not trust ANYONE with too much right now. JW apostadars are on high at the moment after the summer DC talks this year. Even your best friend or family can turn on you

  Best part is, if youmdont talk about your doubts to anyone, don't give the elders any hints, they have nothing to DF you for if you play your cards right. Stay in as log as you feel it is necessary. If you can get your brother to go to college, he may wake up too. Then your folks will have a much harder time shunning you both.

  Have you consider moving away to go to a different school next year? Maybe one that offers something you want but can't get nearby. Just a thought.

  Apostate: From 279 Facebook friends to 81 overnight... thanks MOM!

  by sosoconfused in

  2. experiences

  the drama continues, i log on to facebook this morning and notice that i have about 20 some odd personal messages from people calling me an apostate to they will return to me when i return to jehovah.. all of this based upon my brother informing others that i have "apostate thoughts".

  my mother also encourage long-time famil friends to "unfriend" me because i have taken my stand on the side of satan... wow.

  don't you just love this international brotherhood.

  Goes to show how TERRIFIED they are of even the word apostate.

  They would rather take your oms word for it than check up with you, and endanger their little fantasy.

  Had you caught wind of many rumours about you before this? I the JW rumour mill was already strong, they could have just been waiting to hear it from someone close to you who wouldn't lie about it.

  What if JW.org Was Hacked?

  by jw07 in

  2. beliefs

  what would the governing body do if their precious website were hacked and redirected to one such as this or jw struggle for hours or even days?

  what if their site was hacked to expose ttatt on the front page, and their video content replaced by videos from people like thesnarkyapologist or danmera?.

  what do you think the damage control strategy would be like?.

  It would do nothing but confirm their belief that persecution is a sign that they are the chosen ones.

  Where has the money gone??????

  by joe134cd in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after all the real estate sell offs, im confidently sure that the wts must be a flush with cash (well at least for the present time).

  i cant believe how blissfully un-aware the local dubbies are about where the money has gone and what it is been used for.

  so my question is where has all this money gone??

  They're gonna need it for the new cult compound in Newark.

  Tonight during the announcements they talked about the floods in southern Alberta, we were reminded that any donations to help should be made to the worldwide work... The arrogance is incredible.

  That would be the lesson if there were any new information available. Instead we have the same old crap from creationists.

  I'm not hysterical, I'm quite chill actually. Relaxing in air conditioning with a nice glass of bourbon.

  You still haven't answered any of my/our questions. Please do, I'm waiting.

  I was thoroughly educated in Evolution. I understand all its arguments.

  Where? Did you accept it as fact? What changed your mind?

  Cambrian Explosion proves Evolution is wrong. Life arrives exactly opposite (reverse) of Evolution. More complex life arrives first, AND THEN came small-scale variations.

  So what day of creation was that? How does the Cambrian explosion fit with your understanding of biblical creation?

  According to your thoroughly educated understanding of evolution, how should it happen according to evolution, and what is your evidence that it happened otherwise? Perhaps that would be a good discussion rather than this book. I'm not interested in the book unless CrazyGuy takes me up on my offer.

  Please read Darwin’s Doubt, get current.

  Have you read it and its rebuttals? Will the author be up for a Nobel Prize? Why not?

  what scriptural support is there for commanding children to engage in the door to door work

  by soft+gentle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have just been going over the candace conti case and it struck me that one of the things i'd like to see come out of this case is that jehovahs witnesses stop involving children in the door to door work.

  so what would you say to them to make them re-think this issue..

  " what scriptural support is there for commanding children to engage in the door to door work"

  Matt 24:45 of course! "Our word is truth"

  There will never really be any, but they need to have kids out early enough to help with the brainwashing. Making people do things they don't want to do reinforces their feelings and makes them feel like they're working to make sky daddy happy. This includes kids.
