    They never got their scientific facts right in all that time, if they had a basic understanding of science they would have known that snakes unlike lizards don't and never did have legs.

    Is this what's become of this forum, arguing whether the serpent had legs? Get a life man!

    While we're at it, let's debate whether or not Adam had a belly button, or whether the stink in farts was a result of the fall.

    oooooh get you.

    so no apology for previous erroneous thinking..and i wonder if the wrong info will now be included in an index

    i put this in scandals cos i dont care whether or not snakes ever had legs-and i dont think it is much of a scandal either way...its just i knew it was in the wt but once again i find the index does not direct you to it..this is happening too frequently

    Whether the serpent had legs isn't a doctrine!

    No but it is indicative of the Society's methods: Telling the R&F that black is black, then black is white - and expecting them to accept it !

    Not a biggiee - but sometimes daft changes like this have made some JWs sit up and think (in my experience anyway)

    Who cares if it was doctrine, its highly entertainment remembering all this crock of horse excrement they pass off as truth.

    Chill.
