  #2 dna functional redundancy comparison of the dna that codes for the amino acids of ubiquitous proteins predicts the tree of life with an astonishing degree of accuracy..

  #3 ervs endogenous retroviruses that infected our ancestors are found in the same place of the genome of our closest primate cousins..

  Is any of this stuff peer reviewed by actual scientists? It kind of seems like an incredible waste of time to both read and write if it isn't.

  just thought i'd start a thread about favourite movies.

  mine, in no particular order, are .... alien - a great visual film.

  the chest-bursting scene is still great to watch, no matter how many times i've seen the movie.

  it's canada day today and not just any canada day, it's canada's 150 birthday.

  for some strange reason i was actually able to reason with my wife day and she agreed with me.

  field service on a special day wouldn't be appropriate.

  Yet I saw the ubers out in full force this morning.

  Are they really that fucking dumb that they can't figure out why maybe today isn't a good field service day?

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was baptized 4 years ago, i have 2 little girls who love their bunnies, so this year we reached out to 4h and started our own 4h group - this was after asking the elders for counsel.

  none provided.

  now after doing this for 3 months i am being brought before a judicial committee for neutrality.

  I hope you realize that the WTS uses planned parenthood rulings when dealing with pregnant mothers and the issue of giving a women a blood transfusion to save the life of her unborn child. Guess what, it's a fetus with no rights as a person according to the WTS.

  I have often thought it was kind of rich for the WTS to worry about things 4H or girls scouts while pulling shit like that.

  Roughneck on an oil service rig. Pay was great but it was dirty and dangerous and a mean crew of workers.

  I was 100 feet in the air and I smelled pot smoke one day. I quit on the spot.

  I think you should question of stupidity of the needless legalisms of this self proclaimed channel to God.

  Effecting your relationship with Jehovah lol. Good one.

  If the history of doctoral flip flops, questionable NWT and basically building an entire theology on the book of revelations and idolatrous worship of the governing body doesn't effect your relationship with God, don't worry about 4H.

  the searcher started a topic addressing the gt, a comment from sparrowdown asked an interesting question -.

  "...the political powers of satan's world will form a coalition..."that's the statement that interests me.

  what are they alluding to?.

  Essentially they are just teaching what made in America evangelical Christians have been teaching just replacing themselves with the modern day state of Israel.

  Has anyone else had people in their congs leave to pioneer in Israel?

  Man its pathetic devoting your life to converting jews into jehovah witnesses so you can put them in harms way to fulfill some kind of watchtower dogma. I really hope Israel bans them just like Russia did.

  What woke you up?

  by MrRoboto in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for me, i think it was just the right time as i was starting to wake up on other fronts as well (anyone who had went through these will know what i mean).

  but it started when i was looking for what info goes on a publisher card, which led to me reading one person's story (ex bethelite) which was pretty crazy to an all-in jw but who trusts those apostates...?.

  then i started watching videos on cults, as if my subconscious was trying to tell my concord mind something... when i saw a particular one about a young man in lds getting ready to start their 2 year preaching campaign, including a school, social activities etc, i realized that i couldn't tell the difference between the folks of this mormon cult and the jws (save for some religious differences) .

  I read a book called " the two powers in heaven" by a man named Allan Sagel.

  Without going into to much detail it basically explained who new testament writer thought Jesus was , using the old testament and intertestmental books as reference. It wasn't even anti watchtower. It was just basic bible theology.

  Its really quite simple. It's doesn't matter if you are Christian or not.

  The watchtower was essentially the nonsense after that. It's just a complex twisted bamboozle to disprove easy concepts.

  Mind you I was only a study.
