"they used to show pictures of the "vestigial rear limbs" on such species as certain Boas to prove that this happened as they taught. It you teach it in your magazines"
Can you cite an example. I'd love to see that.

It is my understanding that this was not a belief unique to Jehovah's Witnesses. My best friend, who was raised a Baptist, told me that she learned this same foolishness in Sunday School when she was a child back in the 1950's.

So god must have been confused on which lizard to curse as there are hundreds of species of snakes

Both the Boa and Python share that vestigial rear limb gene. I saw a yellow python with some a long time ago at a public venue. The snake had large dual talons on either side of its body. They were rubbing up against the scales. It could move them at will. The talons looked like eagle claws.

Doesn't everyone know that it was a serpent and serpents have legs?
It was not a snake.
How is this even an issue?

They believe the serpent had legs in the Watchtower June 1, 1964. Question from Readers.
They don't believe the serpent had legs in the Watchtower June 15, 2007. Question from Readers.
It all depends on who is in charge at the time.

I have to admit, the story is much better if we assume that Eve was tempted by Quetzalcoatl.

A fabulous Quetzalcoatl. 😁
