  Why would Adam or Eve choose the tree of knowledge instead of the tree of life.

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  please help me out here .. in genesis 2:16 it says " and jehovah god also laid this command upon the man: from every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction.

  17 but as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it , for in the day you eat from it ,you will positively die.. ok we get that , but what about this ?.

  wouldnt it make more sense to forbid the eating of the tree of life first ?

  Phillip North

  Rob Schoefield

  Danny Owens

  Dennis Ashby (removed , apostate tendencies)

  Alan Stokes, surely dead now although was on the 2006 list, the other 4 must be dead by now or in their 90's!

  Bethel's Official List of UK CO's and DO's in 2006!

  by TimothyT in

  for those who have been discussing co's and do's in the uk, i managed to dig up a photo from my archives of when i had a visit to bethel in june 2008. because i was an uber witness i just had to have my picture taken in front of the amazing printing presses in london.

  also, i saw a poster which listed all of the co's and do's in the uk so i just had to have a picture of it.

  i realise that the list was created in 2006, the picture was taken in 2008 and now we are in 2013, so a lot of time has past and im certain the list is totally different now, but atleast there be some names on there you will realise and remember.

  Sunday night ice skating at Richmond Ice Rink was a big event for years until they knocked it down, I think most of the guys would just stay in the bar drinking ! I never saw any fights but there was a lot of jealousy especially if a brother picked a hot sister to skate with and they'd "hold hands!"

  the 2014 yearbook is out, and i have scanned the publisher figures into a more readable format at 2013 service year report.

  i have updated some of the graphs at http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/statistics.php and will do the rest tonight.

  there are no real surprises, with very similar results as during the last couple of years.
