Possible Severe JW Chronology issue - need help please - research thread
by donkey inhow do i make that claim?
i will explain the reasoning but i need some help and quotes from the insight book if some of you can help me since i currently have limited access to jw literature.. the jw's believe that a global flood occurred and all mankind except for noah, his 3 sons and their wives survived.
that leaves only 1 family of the same language and nationality to "start over".. the jw's believe that some time after the global flood nimrod and others (there must have been many) sought to build a large tower - the tower of babel.

Is Love of God Real?
by donkey insince we cannot prove that god exists and believers claim that we need to have faith that he does indeed exist one can ask: can you truly love someone that you do not know exists?
if you went to your friends and declared your absolute love for someone and when they asked you who you loved you said: "i love jennifer with all my heart.
" and if the friends then asked to meet jennifer and you said "i have believe she exists but i have never met her, never communicated with her, never seen her..." would you your friends think you were cuckoo?

The significance of 607
by donkey inmost here know that the wt pulled 607 out of their "donkey" (aka ass).. but has anyone ever compiled a list of the issues that this presents to the jw faith?
if you tell a jw that 607 is incorrect the typical response is "so what?
"....but i started getting into it and stating then that 1914 is incorrect and then so must be the 1919 3/1/2 times mumbo etc.. does anyone have a list of issues?

On Not Mourning the Pope - Thoughts over the grave of John Paul II
by donkey init seems only a year or so since every talk-show host and pundit in the country was telling us that ronald reagan had personally demolished communism in eastern europe.
now we come to the end of an entire week when the mass media behaved as if we all lived in a catholic country and were united in mourning the dear leader, in which this historic achievement of freedom was credited to "the polish pope.
" that isn't necessarily a contradiction: the two men might possibly have shared the work.

DNA - belief destuction
by donkey inthe single largest reason to decimate my belief in jw?s and all biblical faith occurred when i discovered some facts about our cells.
specifically a part of the cell called mitochondria.
mitochondria are sometimes described as "cellular power plants" because their primary purpose is to manufacture adenosine triphosphate (atp), which is used as a source of energy that the cell uses.. as humans one inherits one?s mitochondria only from one's mother, this finding implies that all living humans have a female line of descent from a woman whom researchers have dubbed mitochondrial eve.
