I would not eat blood sausage or pudding if you paid me a grand cash.

Love the quotes on the previous page about "greasy-nosed flappers"! That's gold, right there.

Man, if only they were 1/10 as entertaining in their "literature" nowadays.

This falls into the category of teachings that they simply shut-up about and never mentioned again:

--That Adam had both "male" and "female" qualities prior to the creation of Eve and that the "rib" was simply a metaphor for splitting him physically and psychologically into two halves.

This was taught as recently as the 1960's.

@TD - Holy Cow I never saw that one...

So I guess Adam was hermaphroditic.

The really amazing part though is that a part of Genesis isn't literal (GASP!)

MrRoboto

why is there no way to comment back on a specific comment? they all go to the end for some reason..?

Carla - the air baths were in Rutherford's time. I wouldn't actually call this a teaching. Teachings were in their books and The Watchtower, these crazy suggestions came in from the rank and file and appeared regularly in the Golden Age and Consolation. BTW for those who might find this ironic, that dinosaur speculation was in the April 1st magazine.

MR,

Just paste the earlier comment you are interested in responding to and share your thoughts.

TD

For young earth creationists, that idea could be used to explain how God created male and female on the same 24 hour day.
