has this question ever been answered by wt or biblical apologetic?.
if near the beginning of her creation, would she not have had the effective development of a a toddler or even a baby?.
if so, would you sentence a toddler or a baby to death for grabbing an appealing candy from a bowl?.
Are you suggesting that Eve was created as a CHILD?
Not physically.
But with what measure of mental development, including reasoning ability, was Eve created?
If God did create her with mental development, then to what degree is God responsible for Eve's decision making?
If God did create her without mental development, then how could it be fair to sentence such a child-like person to death for believing a lie told by an intelligent scheming person (Satan)?

Supplementary observation in Jan 15, 1958 WT QFR:
(firstly, definition of providential: involving divine foresight or intervention.)
Their first act of intercourse that the Bible records was after their expulsion from Eden as sinners...
This proved to be very providential. It made it possible for all the offspring of Adam and Eve outside the garden of Eden to be redeemed by the one human sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. It left no child or children born perfect inside the garden of Eden who did not need to be redeemed by Christ’s sacrifice,
So, my reading of this QFR is that it was God`s foresight or intervention that disallowed any children to have been born `perfect.``
new letter today (please visit avoidjw.org for a copy of the official letter and yes, i also noticed they got the date wrong!).
february 28, 2017. to all bodies of elders.
re: visiting disfellowshipped or disassociated individuals.
For example, if a disfellowshipped individual gives some evidence of changing his ways, an elder could remind the individual of how he can return to Jehovah.
Just like the prodigal's father.

From the pictures I've seen she was an adult, lol.
Yes, it is taught that she was created physically as an adult.
But, what about her mental capacity?
They never had sex before being expelled from the garden of Eden - why in the world not? Was it part of Eve's lack of development?
Jan 15, 1958 WT p. 63:
Their first act of intercourse that the Bible records was after their expulsion from Eden as sinners. Why they did not have intercourse and produce children during their stay in the garden of Eden is their own personal affair.

Bumped
i was just thinking this morning about the court cases wt is facing and although i do think there are enough of them is there just enough in them to pin it to wt.
i sort of get the feeling a lot of these cases are revolving around the definition of terms and also an attitude of could-a, should-a, would-a.
even with the latest example it raised more questions than solutions and i'm guessing that's why it was settled out of court.
WT is simply applying basic risk management.
In-house lawyers, settling out-of-court - works out to be less expensive than the damage that they would incur with any mea culpa.

Great link, blondie.
This paragraph should be sent to the appropriate lawyers:
"In order to adhere closely to the pattern set down in the Bible, Jehovah’s Witnesses have, not a clergy class, but unpaid spiritual shepherds and teachers who willingly minister to God’s flock."
i remember once in berlin south germany there was a local needs part for the men only, and how they should use the toilet.
in all seriousness for ten minutes a retarded nigerian was going on about how men need to sit down when using the toilet.
no mention of anything else.. it transpired that some little kraut boy from an "interested" family would aim for the side of the toilet and leave a great big puddle for others to clean up.
He spoke about the time law enforcement went on strike(can not remember the city or country) but people went nuts, running stop lights.
Expounded in multiple WT's and Awake's
How Do You View Authority?
ONE morning in October 1969, the city police in Montreal, Canada, instead of reporting for duty, went to an arena to discuss strike tactics. How would the people of the city react to this sudden absence of police authority? As anticipated, rioting and looting broke out at the hand of thugs, militant students and other opportunists. But what about the ordinary citizen, the person who might be one’s next-door neighbor? An eyewitness reported:
“I don’t mean hoodlums and habitual lawbreakers, I mean just plain people committed offenses
