Forgive this stupid question, but I've never really understood just what the devil JWs are talking about when they discuss the creative "days". What exactly is the official JW stand on this? Do they believe in 6 literal days or what? I was raised a JW and I have no idea. Scary.
Just another cut-and-paste doctrine that suits their agenda. They take the Genesis account and then they take a scripture from the NT (2 Peter 3:8) to say that a day could have meant a thousand years and so the 7 creative days were "evidently" 7, 000 years. However, the "day as a thousand years" gets shot to hell when they have to describe the prophecy that leads them to 1914...then it's "a day for a year". So, was it 7 days? 7 years? or 7,000 years?
Probably more like 7 million

I think my IQ just dropped a few points... I might start drooling any minute...
yeah, Morbidz, my jaw dropped too. I had to read it several times to make sure I wasn't crazy.
It's like the writer typed that up, leaned back in his chair and shrugged and hit "print".
"Meh.... whatever."

LMAO @ Falcon... fitting image, but I think he was scratching his ass... it must've been mighty itchy after pulling all those theories out of it lol.

even a pre-school crash course in geology will show that erosion that caused geological structures took a little more than just a few thousand years.

I see that our resident experts are already all over this, but in case it hasn't been mentioned, the Watchtower needs nearly 30,000 feet of solid water in their canopy to make the Bible flood story work. Any meteorologist can tell you that only 40 feet of water in such a canopy would keep the earth's average temperature at a rather uncomfortable 800 degrees F.

Has Jdeggnog commented on this water canopy idea? I'm in suspense.

Holy crap!
March 15, 2011, and they're still teaching the "water canopy"?!?!?
Well, now we know why they went to the "public" vs. "study" edition!
How soon until the 7000 year creative day makes a comeback?
