I dont know if its just me. Everytime I see Adam and Eve in a watchtower publication I always look for the belly button. For some reason its always covered up.

Maybe the new light has not shined forth to explain whether or not they had one.

Since you have the book in front of you, you can check out one of the 'kingdom truths' that was in it.
When I was a kiddo in the late 60's, there was a joke going round.
Look in the first chapter or so, at the illustration of the original paradise... there are trees, critters and a river running through paradise. I'm not sure if adam is in it or not... I think he is. Anyway, the joke goes...
"How long can a moose hold its' breath?" as you notice the moose with his head under water.
Now turn to one of the last chapters in the book, where there are illustrations of people living after the big 'A'. It is similar, trees, critters, and a river running through it, much like the paradise illustration. You will notice there is also a moose with, yes... his head under water, drinking.
"Over 6000 years." is the answer. Usually followed by a lot of JW laughter.
Thinking about this, just now, I realized that I must have heard this joke in the late 60's... probably after we were told about 1975, and the 6000 years, etc.
Anyway... now you know.
Regards,

Nice joke Mrs Jones.
My favorite bible/JW joke is:
Did you know that PMS is mentioned in the Bible?
Yep; the gospel says that Mary rode Joseph's ass all the way to Bethlehem!

can you imagine the surlyness of a pregnant woman on a long trip coupled with the built up tensions of never even had sex to begin with? No wonder they made her a saint

Located first moose but not the second. He appears to be lapping up water. I never was around Witnesses who could make jokes about the lit. You were lucky! Yes, lucky, fortunate. Just lost Paradise for the one millionth time. I was such a Dudley Doright when young. Fell for everything, My attitude changed in about six months.
