  A case can be made that there might be non-biblical messages from a creator,

  Go on then...

  We have been through this before, and some of my observations on astronomy, which is a harder, more precise science than biology, have been criticised on trivialities. but creation in general seems to have the imprint of an artist. the most economical solutions are not the ones that have emerged from the evolving universe.

  The wonder of scientific research

  by amicabl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this has possibly been brought up before however here goes.. constant reference is made by many posters to scientific research as being the only way to prove something factual that would otherwise have to be taken on faith.

  there actually seems to be "faith" in scientific findings.. my experience over many years is that most scientific research is fake.

  nothing oftencomes of the big announcements made to raise more money.. money, prestige, pride, human error, suppositions etc., are rife amongst the scientific community.. i realise that there have been many advances over hundreds of years but humankind is in a mess, although very different to even a century ago.. the medical profession now has vaccinations for everything, antiviral drugs etc.

  Venus, some the most seminal breakthroughs in scientific understanding were done by an impoverished patent clerk in Switzerland. "Gedankenexperimente" thoughts are free, priceless.

  Why science is so expensive is the same as medical cost. It takes a long time of hard study to learn all that has been achieved by our fore bearers.

  Otwo: ---Bible actually said "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" before mentioning light.---

  If that is so, the beginning is ~10 billion years long, a drawn out start compared with Earth's ~4 billion existence.

  The existence of something can often be inferred by the evidence left in other media, like traces of particles in cloud chambers, stone fossils filling past organic voids, signatures left on artwork.

  A case can be made that there might be non-biblical messages from a creator, who is distancing himself from meddling creatures like us,

  Your donations at work: WT Farms “inspirational” corn maze

  by betterdaze in

  “best life ever” is displayed at watchtower farms, near pine bush.

  the jehovah’s witnesses' maze is a work of devotional art, and not intended for exploration like the pagan ones made for hudson valley tourists every halloween.

  Why pigs???

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why did jesus supposedly cast the demons into a herd of pigs?.

  (matt 8 / luke 8).

  and, how were there so many demons inside one man, that when "released" by jesus, it took a whole pack of pigs to contain them??.

  I would like to see them here, not as apostates, but as defenders of their "faith" You would see not only fender benders but a demolition derby of current, not to speak of past wt pronouncements.

  Letts have David Splane first.

  YPA change of picture

  by dozy in

  anybody got any idea why the cover picture on the young people ask book was changed?

  they removed the picture of the boy bottom right & superimposed a different head.

  maybe the guy got dfd or maybe it was to change it to an asian guy rather than 2 caucasians?

  Young people are asking the right questions. the only answer wt has, is to erase their memory. but

  I would guess appearances count. Asa on the ascent.
