  so what is a jw's explanation on why animals grow old and die?.....

  last time i checked, animals did not sin nor did they rebel against god.... so why do they have the same fate as humans?.

  has anyone asked this question?.

  That also brings up the question: Did the first man to die, Able (not Adam), die because of sin or because they didnt get to eat from the Tree of Life and become like the Gods?

  And apparently God must have invented the sword.

  i know its a year away but i wanted to inquire about the hundred year anniversary of 1914. it would be amazing to have a world wide event reguarding all exjws.

  i am nowhere near capable of putting this together but i'd like to propose the largest assembly of exjws ever on october 1st 2014. can it be done?

  am i the first to bring this up?

  478 days to make this happen

  Are we agreeing on October 1st or the 5th? The 5th is on a sunday so it probably would be even better.

  We probably should have events leading up to this, like a world wide walk out during the conventions. It would be awesome if just for the one day the watchtower website was replaced with a mock website.

  the irony is so thick you can cut a knife with it.

  the watchtower must have some real cognitive dissonance.

  Science is Biased?

  by enigma1863 in

  2. friends

  i need some help fleshing out an illustration that explains how people can be biased but still reach honest conclusions.

  i had jws claim that "evolutionists" are biased towards evolution.

  if they were biased towards something else they'd reach different conclusions.

  Imagine you are a serious baseball fan. You watch every game and cheer them on till the end. You will of corse be biased towards having your team win. So according to that logic does your team ever lose a game? Would you cherry pick the innings they were ahead and ignore the finale score?
  
  Every team wants to win. But when they lose they accept it. They delude themselves into thinking they won. Anyone can interpret why a team won or lost a game but in the end there will be plenty of evidence to conclude the winner.

  i wanted to offer an argument against the idea that scientists are biased to their own "worldview" so you cant trust what they say.. imagine you are a serious fan of a sports team.

  you make it to and watch every game.

  you will be biased towards your team.
