  what do you guys think?.

  are they only some uber religious zealots or do they pursue hidden agendas beyond religiosity?.

  during our wt life we met a good number of friends involved in the circuit and district work.

  i am sure that we share the same experience and that we remember fondly some that we caring, loving and generally interested in the brothers.

  at the same time we might remember others that were arrogant, selfish, abusive and oppressive.

  Child Broadcast Star is Going Home to Die.

  the february broadcast has an item which in my view exploits a young very poorly girl.

  it seems that the girl is quite a character and her faith seems to be strong.

  she was baptised as a pre-pubescent innocent girl and is purported to be a regular pioneer at age 13. now read what her local paper says :-.

  Whether intentional or not, the broadcast appears to have had quite an effect on stimulating contributions for her flight home.

  Evolution Hole #1 - Origin of Life

  disclaimer: my graduate degree is in business, not science so i'm writing as a layman in this field.

  yes, i know that someone is going to say that evolution does not encompass this topic and should be sectioned off under abiogenesis.

  i'm not trying to argue semantics here but it seems like a case of avoiding an uncomfortable subject.

  Evolution advocates have commented almost 100% as predicted so this thread is a complete success.

  Thanks!!!

  This is #1 which implies that another thread might be coming . . .

  It is an attempt at full disclosure. Humans are notorious for slanting evidence to support their position and disregarding evidence to the contrary.

  Thus, both positions are a matter or faith re: the origin of life. I say the evidence points to the fact that life will not develop from inanimate matter. This leads to the conclusion that life began via creation. Do I pretend to understand this creator and how the creator originated? Not at all and why should humans expect to? What have humans discovered about our place in the universe? We can't even begin to comprehend the visible universe.

  Does the evolution of the universe require thinking about how it started?
