In the LDS church we have our 'deep doctrine' that is not preached from the stand and is often little more than pure speculation on what one prophet is supposed to have said etc.. here's a brief list of some of the things we might discuss outside of church...
Was Jesus married?
Where is the hill Cumorah (place in the Book of Mormon)?
Who are the 144000?
Where are the lost tribes of Israel?
Where is the city of Enoch?
What will be the events that will usher in the millenium?
Where does your spirit go when you sleep?
What is the urim and thummim?
How many people where in the ark / Jaredite barges / Nephi's boat?
Who was already on the american continent when the nephites arrived?
and so on...
Do the JWs have similar favourite areas of discussion that more often than not goes well off the beaten track?
Do JWs have any deep doctrine..

Their bogus chronological basis for 1914 is fairly deep.
They have made the ransom very complex, what w the 2 classes, one in the new covenant, the other not.
The incarnation of michael the arch angel is unexplainable by them.

but really cucumb, any speculation is highly discouraged, as only the Governing Body can speculate with impunity.
*** w68 5/1 p. 271 Making Wise Use of the Remaining Time ***
4 According to reliable Bible chronology Adam was created in the year 4026 B.C.E., likely in the autumn of the year (AAAhhh what speculation).
, at the end of the sixth day of creation. Then God brought the animals to man to name. Yet, of Adam, Genesis states these words of Jehovah: ?It is not good for the man to continue by himself.? (Gen. 2:18) Adam would realize this lonely condition very quickly (AAAhhh what speculation).
, perhaps in just a few days or a few weeks (AAAhhh what speculation).. He would realize he needed another earthling with whom he could communicate, share his experiences, and his life. Nor would his naming the animals take an unduly long time. (AAAhhh what speculation). The basic animal kinds could have been relatively quickly named(AAAhhh what speculation).
for when such basic kinds were taken into the ark in Noah?s day, it did not involve millions of beasts, but perhaps only a few hundred basic kinds. Thus, Adam?s naming of the animals and his realizing that he needed a counterpart would have occupied only a brief time after his creation. (AAAhhh what speculation). Since it was also Jehovah?s purpose for man to multiply and fill the earth, it is logical that he would create Eve soon after Adam, perhaps just a few weeks (AAAhhh what speculation). or months (AAAhhh what speculation). later in the same year, 4026 B.C.E. After her creation, God?s rest day, the seventh period, immediately followed. -

>> Where is the hill Cumorah
okay, maybe this shows my ignorance, but wasn't Hill Comorah where Joesph Smith found the tablets containing the Book of Mormon.
To the topic: How old Adam was when Eve was created. Tied to 1975. Some SIILL cling to that, as if it means anything. -

Hi SW - the hill Cumorah may potentially refer to two hills - one in New York and the other ...still not really of much interest to you guys:)

Pardon the expression, but the only thing 'deep' about the JW's is the 'ka-ka' they wade around in and try to shove down people's throats.
