  Theory of Evolution and humanity are moving in parallel, and in opposite direction too!

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  proponents of evolution theory was comfortable with their easiest method of induction that says something like this: i saw a blind man in the us, then in russia, then in australian, then in africa ..., hence all men are blind.

  yet proofs are abundant for the decline (opposite of evolution) we experience globally!.

  1) most humans declined into greed, the result of which is climate change which has the potential to wipe out all life from the earth.

  1) Most humans declined into greed, the result of which is climate change which has the potential to wipe out all life from the earth. July 2015 was the hottest month in recorded history.(http://www.cbsnews.com/news/july-2015-was-hottest-month-on-record-globally/) Global recession (another effect of greed) that started in 2008 is now all set to assume the size of a global tornado!

  Humans have adapted to abundance, the result of which is short sighted greed. Regarding anthropomorphic climate change: Even if we manage to wipe ourselves out entirely, evolution will continue. We would be arrogant to think we can extinguish all life on earth. Its just humans who are going away if we are irresponsible. The planet itself is doing just fine.

  2) Religions (from religare, “reunite”) declined into divisiveness!

  Alvin Toffler predicted this in the 1960's. An information culture (Where everyone can speak to everyone) makes smaller and smaller sub groups (divisions) possible. For example: Christianity sub group:Protestants - sub group: Adventists sub group: Jehovah's Witnesses sub group: ex Jehovah's Witnesses etc. etc. etc. until in 2034 you end up with Homosexual ex-Jehovah's Witnesses who believe in the invisible parousia of Marvel's Thanos.

  3) When people were told to sacrifice the beast called ego, they declined into the easier option of sacrificing a literal animal (followed by eating its flesh too)

  I thought Yahweh insisted on a blood sacrifice?

  Also sacrifice of the ego leads to mindlessly dangerous people. See the Manson Family.

  4) Human body too is on the reverse gear with deadly disease being on the increase

  Two weeks ago it was announced that the Ebola vaccine is 100% effective in trials. Who knew?

  
  

  Notice a trend?

  5) Bible correctly foretold a global moral decline (the very opposite of evolution) in 2 Timothy 3:1-5

  Pick a human civilization or age and you will see the same characteristics of what 2 Timothy 3:1-5 is describing.

  The same generalized type of predictions you can get in any glossy magazine with an astrology page.

  Vodka. I differ with _Morpheus in that my favorite is the cheapest bottle I can find, drunk neat until I am fully inebriated. I'll be blunt, I only drink for effect.

  And....you REALLY shoudn't tell me what I REALLY should or should not think.

  Yes I can. What you decide to do with the information is YOUR business.

  The state based their decision on the results of the detailed and comprehensive report submitted by these experts:

  In 1600 Giordano Bruno was brought made grand cosmological claims. Government experts were consulted at his trial and he was eventually burned at the stake. The west has been through this before.

  In a world where the Russian idea of government takes hold, human development will once again be delayed.

  I oppose institutions that masquerade as a religion when they are only a business.
  

  Well that is your opinion. And I defend your right to that opinion, but I disagree with it. By your definition you could include the Catholic church.

  The JW religion is the epitome of deceit.

  Scientology is much worse.

  If governments start banning organizations that have an unpopular view, you end up with only the majority opinion that will be tolerated. For example: Iran and most other Islamic states. Russia is also cracking down on homosexuality and even Herbalife.

  We should not be scared of ideas. Remember this is exactly how the Watchtower feels regarding sites like these. If they were in the majority this site would be offline.

  I defend their right in spite of them but not because of them.

  Godzoo

  Does that apply everywhere without restriction? Would you approve of an organised group coming and setting up a center right next to where you live, or enter into your home or the school of your children, or flood your country or community like swarming locusts to promote their ideas however bizarre, extreme and anti-social into your kids minds who will will then one day be taught and encouraged to shun you and then defend their right to do so? Really?

  You are either a libertarian or you are not. You either believe in the market place of ideas or you do not. When it comes to Jehovah's Witnesses I believe they should have the right to knock on my door and offer me literature... why? Because one day its not the JW's but the ACLU knocking on my door about unlawful detainment. The JW idea will die out by itself because the ideas are bad. I still want to hear their ideas though to make my own choice. I do not need my government to make that choice for me.

  
  

  Orphancrow:

  I agree.
  In October 2000, several Russian experts presented their reports to a Russian court. The Russian experts had done a comprehensive examination of the Jehovah's Witness literature.

  You REALLY don't want the state to decide which literature is appropriate for you or not.

  Godzoo and Orphancrow, if you love freedom of speech you should reconsider your position.

  And patients who knew they were being prayed for had a higher rate of post-operative complications like abnormal heart rhythms, perhaps because of the expectations the prayers created, the researchers suggested.

  So prayer could kill you? Thats not what Stephen Hawking says:
