Of course, they want tax exemption (denied in the above)

WT Study Article Nov. 23, 2014--Adam understood "day" to be 24 hours
by Cadellin ininteresting admission in today's wt: adam may have understood "day" (as in "in the day you eat from it, you will positively die") to be a literal 24-hour period.
i don't think the wt has ever said this before; the usual emphasis is that jah meant it as a figurative day, a day from his standpoint which is 1,000 years (and the article does state that, later).. however, if adam understood god's warning to be carried out in a 24 hour period, and god did nothing to alleviate that, then who did the lying?
actually, regardless of adam's understanding, the question still stands but moving toward an admission of the use of day in that context to be 24-hours only makes the question even more valid.

This case is probably on here somewhere - it seems like a bottomless pit.
Best quote - from the molesting father:
"Mr. G.P. privately apologized to the plaintiff for his conduct, while at the same time telling her that she had, after all, "enjoyed it too"."
Barbara and Penton were prepared to testify, but not allowed (Kudos, Barbara).
Worst quote - from the judge:
I accept the evidence of John Didur that it is not now the policy of the Jehovah's Witness to require a victim of abuse to proceed through the steps envisioned in verses 15-18 of Matthew 18, nor was that the policy in 1989. He explained that Matthew 18 applies to private disputes between people, such as disputes over financial matters, and cannot be applied to a serious sin against God's laws, such as child abuse. I understand why the defence witnesses are genuinely puzzled as to how this could have come up in this situation. However, I am confident that Matthew 18 was mentioned specifically to the plaintiff and that she was told it applied. Further, I am confident that it was after receiving this advice that she spoke to the M.s.

After every creative day God proceeds to bless and pronouce his work as good.
Was at a Christian group supper a while ago.
One Christian woman explained that God saw everything and it was good, and then when God realized that all of the animals had mates, but Adam did not, He, for the first time said that it was "not good."
I slapped my palm to my forehead, and gave a Homer Simpson D'oh, and then said: "Oh, so it was an oversight."
And then I said, "After all, He is getting old."
Went over like a lead balloon.
(One mumbled, Blasphemy)

They could have had sex, but Eve may not have reached puberty yet.
(If she had, there should have been a prohibition against sex during her period.)

No longer to use "house to house record" slips and "please follow up slips"!
by stuckinarut2 ina letter has just been read out indicating that effective immediately, witnesses are no longer to use the s-8 slip known as the "house to house" record slip, as well as the s-43 "please follow up" slip (usually used for foreign language people).. the letter stated that this is because of the changes in privacy laws etc that are becoming common in the world today.. i will try and get a copy of the full letter and post it asap.. .

In congo's where the BS overseer hands out the territory, and then receives it back with notes about the HH and their family, there could definitely be liability issues.
