Just to add that most of the conventions are the august bank holiday weekend. Everyone in the south will be at Twickenham or the Excel. Anyone from Bristol down, even Cornwall, will be at Twickers. That's one hell of a trek.

Kate Wild
by quellycatface ini've been given permission to post news of our friend.. kate hasn't been very well.
not well at all.
i think much of it has been a delayed reaction to her df'ing, the general fallout when leaving the wtbs and family issues.. i just wanted to give you guys the heads up and give you a chance to show how much we care about her.. thanks for listening..

Hi Scott,
I'd not realised that it's almost 2 years now that I've been on this board. Somethings have changed and some things haven't. I am still a Witness but in name only. I no longer am an MS, have stopped almost all field service, attend less than 50% of meetings and am fading slowly. It is much harder than expected to fade my family but there is progress. I no longer believe anything of WT doctrine and have concluded that there is no evidence for God at all. I am catching up on a lifetime of understanding why evolution is entirely possible and, indeed, proven but I still have a way to go before reaching the dizzy heights of knowledge that people like Cofty and Cantleave have.
Cheers

New DVD review
by Laika ini managed to catch the new dvd on youtube last night before the inevitable takedown.
as a film i felt it wasn't anywhere near as good as the prodigal movie, the story wasn't as dramatic, the characters much less interesting and developed and the direction weaker.
i found the prodigal relatively entertaining (all things considered) this one was just dull.. here are some of my random thoughts anyway [spoiler alert - ha!].

Konceptual, he states in the video he became a JW in his mid-20s. Assumingly after college, then.
That'll learn me for not watching the whole thing.
Once, good point, in JW world this family would have been considered materialistic and spiritually weak (until the end of the movie) This would have hurt their JW social life, but of course this issue was never raised in the film.
Bizarrely every single domestic situation used in WT videos presents a materially well off family yet we all know how these are looked down on unless they are those uber families that do everything spiritually. And entertain COs. On their boat/fast cars/helicoptors.

So Much For Advertise Advertise Advertise (another DVD thread)
by ctrwtf inif the ultimate goal is to reach as many people as possible with the kingdom message, why does the society find it necessary to block any public access to the new dvd?.
could it be because the public will see how vacuous their teachings are?
producing this propaganda is a new low even for them.

I loved the babies. I enjoyed looking at the cute teenage mothers who married the only oaf available in their northwoods congregation.
That really did make me chuckle.

99.9% Of a People Who Believe In Evolution Don't Understand It.
by Space Madness ini never believed in evolution as i thought it didn't make sense and that what was proposed was simply impossible.
how could an environment alter an organism's dna?
as we can see however, bacteria cannot become resistance to antibiotics.

Space - you don't need me to define Natural Selection. The definition is published all over the place. Your text book should have a definition. I just think you have missed the point. What your text book says is correct - genes are not sentient and they do not make some active decision on how to change nor does the environment communicate a change. That is not how natural selection works. I would suggest that you go back to the start of your text book and look at where it describes how it does work. Right now, all you are doing is essentially quote mining just like the WTS does in it's creationist publications.
