according to the newest watchtower:.
jehovah communicated with adam in the garden of eden, using human language.
god likely did so in an ancient form of hebrew.

there's a interesting situation emerging where i live and i want to share it all with you because its proof i think jehovah has pulled his holy spirit away.
when elders think they can steal from the government and pretend to be holy, than jehovah god has left us!.
i've been out about 9 months.
and yes i am still obsessed with anti-watchtower material.
i've been married 23 years.
MJB Guess what. I want grandkids to pick fruit from nanas garden. Didn't ever think about having grandkids coz surely that would be after a thousand years. Good god yes it is layers and layers of cultedness.
I am hoping/imagining that happens for you- I know as a kid those times were the happiest with my (nonJW athiest Grandparents) Yeah gardening with grandma!
hiding behind the literature stand in a litter strewn empty shop doorway.. .
is this what the witnessing has now dumbed down to ?.
who's bringing reproach on jehovah's name now ?.
Kinda reminds me of the old maytag repairman ( only old u.s. people would get that one)
I resemble that!
Doc
Awwww, I want a picture of you!!
Go on, for us brits! I am imagining grandpa walton!
when i was an elder in the 80s, a 16 year old baptized jw girl had confessed that at school during lunch a boy kissed her and touched her privates over her dress.
the circuit overseer was in town and we told him of the situation and he called the society and then told us that mother said we were not allowed to conduct the funeral in the kingdom hall or anywhere else with the threat of removing us and being dealt with judicially if we disobeyed.
the mother who is about 79 years old comes once a year to talk to my mom about the situation.
That lassy is the same age as me. I would like to know her first name, to honour her memory. Disfellowshiping minors is disgusting. I dont know about you guys but I was always taught that according to the bible you did not reach your majority until 20. They were also big on bragging about the fact they didn't baptise minors.
My son was operated on by an amazing cranio facial surgeon from Great Ormond Street, Mr Dunnaway,he retired this year. Hes been on TV as he goes all over the world with charitys and operates on kids who don't go outside because the village thinks they are demonized or cursed, because of they way they look.
This was one of the things that made me emotionally detatch from the org. I myself have refused blood when I haemorraged, but I could NOT allow my son to die, no matter what. Even though I knew in the UK they would make him a ward of court & so it would be ok for me to pretend but I could not be a hippocrite.
Those elders on the scene were disgusting, they knew what directions the org would give, trouble is there IS NO COME UPPANCE FOR THEM UNLESS WE MAKE IT SO

seeing how my jw wife nearly lost it when i woke up to ttatt and was df'd just over a year ago, she has been showing cracks in her armor.. 1. she has stopped pioneering to resume her good-paying career, working full-time.. 2. she suggested marriage counseling.. 3. she suggested going to a latin rap concert at a casino for our anniversary.. 4. when we reconciled recently and began living together as a family again, she agreed to alternate weeks of jw activity with the kids, one week doing the jw thing with her and the next week not doing the jw thing with me .
5. she hasn't had perfect attendance at meetings or for field service since she started working full-time.
just last night, she skipped meeting to help co-workers prepare food for an employee appreciation luncheon held today.
you know the organization is slowly going down.
not as fast as we would wish, but nevertheless it is crumbling.
five (5) year old child baptisms, smaller magazines, child sexual abuse exposed, smaller annual growth, no one wants to reach out, young ones leaving.
I will hopefully be dead by 2034, so I don't care about 2050. Matter of fact, I don't care about 2020. I can't even imagine another year of WTBTS cult shit, let alone decades.
Dee Dee, I hope you are not.
I hope you find something.
I know there are a million reasons to be glad what the cult teaches is a fairy tale, probably many more for than against. But I still miss the idea of this loving Jesus.To be honest I never liked Jehoover one little bit, but ole Jesus, well, sometimes when I think of kids dying & loneliness in old age I feel like bloody crying my bloody eyes out.

Aprostate Okay, I do foresee this happening,
"The Artist Once Again Known As Prince" pools his resources with Miley Cyrus and Pharrell Williams and buy out a major interest in the WT Society.
Twerking becomes an acceptable form of worship in Jehovah's loving Congregation arrangement and "You Sexy Ministerial Servant" becomes one of many new Kingdom Melodies.
πππππMade my day just thinking about it!

MarvsterTalking of 1914, right now I'm watching one of JwFairytales' latest YT videos, Jehovah Bear and another character are in some future time talking with an elder who they tell that the 1914 prophecy is now actually 2014 for the beginning of Christ's reign; because the watchtower forgot to 'carry the 1' like they did when coming up with the fudged date of 607 but started with 606 and forgot about the year 0 not existing so carried the 1 to make it 607 (or something like that) so 1914 becomes 2014... I wonder if JwFairytales' prophecy will come true?
Not to mention the initial calculation being 1915, & when the doctrine further "clarified"tm (evidently)in the 20's suddenly lost a year & became 1914
