"rejecting or trivializing the genesis account about adam and eve creates a domino effect that undermines nearly every major teaching in the bible!
such a way of thinking leads to a host of unanswered questions and a faith with nothing to stand on.".
footnote: "these include teachings about gods sovereignty, human integrity, good and evil, free will, the condition of the dead, marriage, the promised messiah, a paradise earth, gods kingdom, and many others.".
I can agree with this. For me it was looking into the reasons why a global flood could not have happened, then while reading a watchtower on it (don't ask) it said that Jesus said the flood happened.. Matthew 24:37-41
I think that was when I realized there was no baby in the bathwater (to steal a term often thrown around)
the last four years:.
with all the changes in the 'generation', 'sealing', doctines, etc.
- there have been unexpected [i imagine] jumps in this number.
Where is 144,001 when you need him?

Bump....
(please pardon my english quotes from the bible.
i'm trying to translate from swahili, i cant find my english bible lol).
so i had my bible study yesterday and my teacher came with an elder.
unfortunately i was out in service the other day.
just to get my 2-3 hours in for the month.
this lady who has invested over 60 years of all her life into the org made a comment.
She is correct, they did say that at the DC this year. Remember the statue with the iron/clay toes? They claim that is US/Britain alliance, and since it is the last superpower on the statue, there can be none after it.
It is a great way to whip up the masses into a frenzy.
so i was poking around jw.org a lil recently...... noticed this advertisement was still present in the 'privileged' section (ie you gotta have login access).
this was posted on jw.org a little over a year ago (as shown in pic) but since it is still viewable......figured it is fair-game for jwn fodder.
thoughts?????.
Hey yknot, good to hear from you!!!!!!!
Mickey, how about we offer to buy it on Oct 15 2014?

i used to go in service with a prominent elder in our area who would announce, regarding the 'truth' book in the 70's:.
"would you like to know the truth and gain everlasting life in just one day?
this book is divided into 24 chapters that can be studied in just an hour each.
for Giordano's story.

Thanks
it is clear that the granparents have been having conversations with my 4yo.. yesterday we had a conversation you will find funny.. him: santa is invisable like jehovah.
me: who is jehovah?.
him:he made the earth.
We have been encourging the comparison of the two. when he can't prove one, I hope he will notice that he ca't prove the other.
