Huge Research Finding relates to the brochure: ORIGIN OF LIFE, THEāFIVE QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
by cognisonance infirst the new finding: summary and the actual paper.. now, consider this snippet from that brochure, especially the bold emphasis i've added (pages 5-7):.
researchers have learned that for a cell to survive, at least three different types of complex molecules must work togetherdna (deoxyribonucleic acid), rna (ribonucleic acid), and proteins.
today, few scientists would assert that a complete living cell suddenly formed by chance from a mix of inanimate chemicals.

How good are we at spotting propaganda and logic fallacies outside the religion of the JWs?
by cognisonance inin the book take back your life, recovering from cults and abusive relationships, i think it mentioned that many often jump from one cult (or abusive relationship) to another, not being able to see the tell-tale signs with foresight, only hindsight.
therefore, i encourage everyone to take at least a cursory look at this report.
what are your thoughts?.

Update on shunning@the store. Watchtower victorious.
by quellycatface inyep, that's right.
after all my friends and my efforts, the shunning carries on.. the 3 people who were shunning me at my local supermarket, still, are carrying on this practice.. little subtleties like avoiding eye contact, making busy as i walk past and looks out of the corner of their eyes.
you know the modus operandi.. nothing now the store can do about it.

Cults and Convergent Evolution
by cognisonance ina thought popped in my mind on the way to work today.
most jws don't think they are in a cult (or an organization with many cult-like features).
this isn't really surprising considering most cults dont think they are, well, a cult.

Reconciling animals and suffering
by Pacopoolio inwe know that christians generally go through ridiculous mental voodoo to explain why a benevolent god allows human suffering, and none of it makes any sense, or is filled with bunk logic.
that's what happens when you try and retrofit a jewish "god is good and evil" religion into a benevolent religion.. .
one of the biggest "trips" to a jw/christian in continuing this line of thought is asking them why god would create animals simply to suffer and die, then, after they try to blame everything on adam (whose brain god supposedly created, and who put him into the exact situation that had an influence on that brain to cause him to sin).
