89Role-Playing & XJW Discussion Boards.
by hillary_step ini have been on this board for around four years.
at first i took what went on here quite seriously, well for about three weeks, but it then became quite obvious to me that the depth of role-playing that went on on these boards was so deep-rooted that it would be a foolish waste of time to do anything more than to read some of the more informative threads and delegate the rest to entertainment.
i hope narkissos forgives me for quoting something that he wrote yesterday, but his thought clearly encapuslates the reason why it is foolish to presume that you know, or will ever know the person who is posting by what they write, and why judgments on a persons character are more than often fatally flawed.

did snakes have legs
by tijkmo inquestions from readers.
did the serpent lose legs or feet as means of movement as a result of the divine curse recorded at genesis 3:14?.
at genesis 3:14 we are told: "and jehovah god proceeded to say to the serpent: ?because you have done this thing, you are the cursed one out of all the domestic animals and out of all the wild beasts of the field.

44 y 4 m 15 dwell this is interesting...i had come across a comment when looking for something else earlier this week and your question about 30 years jogged my memory...so i looked up adam in the wt cd and there is a section about naming the animals and all the references take you to articles that emphasize that it would have taken some time...but i knew that i had read a comment saying that it would only have taken days or weeks....so i had to troll through search until i found it in wt 1st may 1968....so index will only direct to thinking that supports present belief and not to everywhere subject is discussed implying that is what was always believed Why, it must have taken Adam quite some time to name all the animals, as he was commissioned to do. Further, it appears from the New World Bible Translation that, even while Adam was naming the animals, other family kinds of living creatures were being created for Adam to designate by name.
The brevity of the Genesis account surely does not require our thinking that God simply gathered all the animals and birds into a big group and then had them file past Adam while he quickly called off names for them, one by one. True, he may have had to deal only with basic family kinds rather than all the varieties of creatures that have developed out of those family kinds. But even so, we cannot rule out the possibility that God?s "bringing" these creatures to Adam may have involved their moving in sufficiently close to allow Adam to study them for a time, observing their distinctive habits and makeup, and then select a name that would be especially fitting for each. This could mean the passing of a considerable amount of time. And we may note that, when Adam did finally see his newly created wife, his first words were: "This is at last bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh." (Gen. 2:23) This too could indicate that he had waited for some time to receive his delightful human counterpart.

What, then, does this mean? Simply this: That these factors, and the possibilities for which they allow, prevent us from saying with any positiveness how much time elapsed between Adam?s creation and that of the first woman. We do not know whether it was a brief time such as a month or a few months, a year or even more4
According to reliable Bible chronology Adam was created in the year 4026 B.C.E., likely in the autumn of the year, 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, perhaps in just a few days or a few weeks. 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. The basic animal kinds could have been relatively quickly named, 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. -

oh dear oh dear oh dear...what have i done
ok time out....it is true that i posted the question because it is interesting and also funny so i would have posted it for that reason only
but in my 2nd post right after , i explained that the real mystery here is not whether snakes had legs or what caused them to be removed if they did....but why has it been removed from the subject index of wts literature..thats the real mystery and its not the only example of it that i found...i posted another comment on time between adam and eves creation that has also been doctored..if i find it i will post it again...have you looked for something that you know is in the society literature only to find that all evidence of it has been removed

a few weeks back we discussed the new df announcement being.... so+so is no longer one of jehovahs witnesses'..and how that remark is slanderous because a disfellowshipped person can still witness about j. if he wants and it appeared to me that making that announcement would open the way to further litigation...unless...the org is patenting the expression as some kind of brand name..meaning that it becomes a title as opposed to a description and they are therefore within there rights to expel
