It's hard to "get in the circle", isn't it?
Yes unfortunately there is a heirachy system in the cong, and unfortunately again it seems like its hereditary.

Were You Treated Unfairly In The Congregation?
by minimus inthere is clearly a caste system in the organization.
there is a pecking order.
certain classes of people did not associate with those not of the same ilk.

Dear Walter:

The scotsman returns - but he is not the same....
by The Scotsman inhello, yes the scotsman has returned, but i have been naughty .
i have been doing some of my own research on the internet etc regarding jws and some doctrinal issues.. i have had some doubts for a while but am beginning to think that some of our current teachings are simply unsustainable.. example - the 1914 timeframe.. the reason that this is so pivotal is that it is a foundation stone of the organization.
evidence is easily available to prove that this date is unsafe.. many on here speculate about revolution in the organization etc, if 1914 was moved it would have a catastrophic effect on the ordinary publisher and would lead to big change across the congregations.

Did God kill Adam & Eve?
by return visitor inwe were taught by the borg that death is the result of sin.
however, notice what the genesis account says:.
22 and jehovah god went on to say: "here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad, and now in order that he may not put his hand out and actually take [fruit] also from the tree of life and eat and live to time indefinite," 23 with that jehovah god put him out of the garden of e den to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.

Thanks for your discussion chaps, nice to hear your viewpoints on this. But we'll just have to agree to disagree.

i gave my son life, can i judge him anyway I chose to? Can I condemn him to death?
No you have no right to because you are not the law giver, whereas God is.

but, that DESIRE to sin would HAVE to be in them. otherwise, it would have never happened
The desire to sin could not have been in them because they were created without sin, it was only when they ate from the tree in an act of disobedience that they became sinners because that was the FIRST sin. So sin could not have been present in them from the start.

he made them with that flaw if it wasn't in them to begin with, they never would have sinned.
It couldn't have been in them from the start because creating them with this 'flaw' would be pointless, because as you have shown with your computer programme illustration sooner or later they would sin. They sinned because they misused their free will, they had been given a freedom of choice, to obey or not to obey and they chose the latter.

it just means that god is a tyrant, "do has I say or die"
Lets be fair it was not a dictatorship system he gave them a free will to do whatever they pleased, all he asked them to do was NOT eat from the Tree Of Knowledge. This was the only mention of the death penalty.
