  The tree of knowledge meant desire to be independent from God, man decided for himself to rebel. The tree of life represented God's blessing of extended life. It also was a type and shadow of Christ- with him being the staff of life, the root of Jesse etc

  I f my wife was having with other people because I was ill, unable to preform- I could forgive her. If she was having sex with someone else because she didn't want to have sex with me- then no I wouldn't. If she was having sex with me and someone else on the side, I try to figure why first, was she just addicted to sex, Was any of it my fault ? I'd probably end it with her. I don't like giving up what I have, but I don't feel I should have to fight to keep her.

  recently shadow posted this on another topic, however it is so good i felt it deserved it's own thread.

  remember when you are reading this that the watchtower wants all of us to ignore our questions regarding change within the organization.

  calling it new light.

  I made my wife think....

  she recently went on a rant about how i need to go to meetings and that she knows the wts is not perfect but its the closest thing.

  she kept trying to gode me into spilling everything... i simply put it to her in an illustration and it made her really think.... in response to her telling me that its the closest thing to the truth i told her my feelings: "if i was eating a peice of delicious chocolate... and then the baker told me she picked up dog poop with her bare hands and didnt wash them before she made them... would you still eat it?

  sure it still may taste good, but would continue to eat it?".

  WTS reminds of Hollywood making a movie of an old comic book character, they have to go and look at old editions so as trying not to contradict themselves, When differences are pointed out, they call it 'new light'. I remember growing up and my father making sure not to miss certain assembly talks because he was new information was being released, and it always turned out to be a new book.

  What Naughty Things Did You Know Of That Went On In Your Hall?

  by minimus in

  as an elder, i knew a lot of things that happened in the congregation, including "secret sins".

  what i also knew was that some persons were quite good at being sneaky----especially the teens.

  years after my daughter stopped hanging around certain friends and she was in her 20's, she told me little juicy tidbits of what some of her best friends regularly got away with.

  There were rumors of wife swapping, only a few wives at the hall were attractive. I never knew who was involved, but I remember one couple with the most most attractive wife quit comming. The excuse given for their absence was their son got disciplined for something and it upset the parents.

  "Jehovah" is basically an accepted English translation of YHWH, but if we go with Yahweh, would all the other Hebrews names of people and places have to be changed? I have enough to try to learn from the bible without worrying about pronunciation differences.

  I'm not condoning incest, but were both parties adults? Some states allow 1st cousin marriages without restrictions, a few require that one them has had sterilization. If you're looking from a biblical view, I think don't cousins were mentioned in sex laws.

  The 2 main reasons for incest taboos were:

  1) Increased risk of genetic problems

  2) Protection of the under-aged from people using their position to take advantage of younger, helpless family members.
