"Jehovah's Witnesses Really Don't Love People, Do They?"
by minimus inthis was a comment that was made to me when i expressed that witnesses shun or disfellowship people and refuse to have any normal contact with them, or that they "mark" them and give a public speech about ones that even date a non-jehovah's witness.
after the statement was made, i stated that witnesses were more interested in numbers such as how many knocked on doors or went to a meeting......................it is a sad but true commentary.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESUS' TEACHINGS & PAUL'S
by Mary inhas anyone noticed that alot of paul's ideas that are part of the scriptures contrast directly with jesus'??

HEBREWS 11:16
by witnesspaul inhaving been a jw for 15yrs i have just recently began to question some of their beliefs.
one of the lines of reasoning i have always used in connection with the earthly hope was that the ancient hebrew prophets had no concept of a heavenly hope and so they had salvation with-out being born again.
that was until i read this:

Jurassic Dinosaurs/ T-Rex Park.
by ScoobySnax ini got this idea in my head about trying to extract dinosaur dna from insects long since trapped in maybe something like fossilised amber and then trying to replicate it within a modern species (say a frogs dna) and using the extra dna to "fill in the gaps" thus being able to maybe, and (said excitedly) clone dinosaurs.
maybe we could get enough embryos to hold in cold harvest, and then use them once we'd built a park, on an enclosed island (like the uk,or somewhere) to reproduce and make real living attractions, like t-rex and triceratops, brachiosaurus etc etc... i'm thinking of big gates that open up to the park, with maybe a tram line type thing running around the perimeter using maybe land-rover type cars on a track.
it'll be really exciting.... can you help?

What About The Soul?
by Francois ini don't recall that we've ever gotten into this issue; maybe we did and i just don't remember.
if so, it won't hurt to revisit it; if not, it's way past time that we did.. we were all trained to believe that humankind does not have a soul, but that we are souls.
this teaching came from the spiritual geniuses abiding at jw headquarters in brooklyn, likely assisted by their undefined "spirit-led" descision making activities and with help from someone's secret decoder ring with the secret compartment.. personally, i have 86-ed that particular piece of nonsense a long time ago.
