Did God know adam and eve would sin?

If God didn't know that, by the same reasoning he wouldn't know ahead of time any of the evil that would happen.
That would eliminate a lot of the prophecies in the Bible and would leave a God who knew very little about human beings.

A lot of JWs seem to say "Jehovah" in every sentence of their prayers as if Satan is going to get them if they skip it once.

Sometimes think the GB and WT writers don't bother to check what the WT has said before, probably because they know the vast majority of JWs will simply believe the latest "light" and forget they ever said anything different. -

Join JW's or DIE - soon!!!
by BoogerMan inw72 10/1 p. 607 - "they (jw's) know that soon now all who are not true worshipers of jehovah (jw's) will be destroyed.".
how quickly half a century passes by!
2 peter 3:8 - "...one day is with jehovah jw.borg as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.

It's hard to get JWs to answer Bible questions at all these days.
All they do is shrug and refer you to the website.

Maybe a prerequisite for being elected to the GB is that you have to keep a straight face when you say you understand and believe the overlapping generations teaching.

Are they more likely to appoint someone they know well or someone they've never met?

Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness
by Ron.W. ina slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.
elder: 'yes.
i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

"The members of the Governing Body don't know any more about the end times than I do."
"Maybe Ray Franz wasn't the villain the GB makes him out to be."
"It seems to me that a lot of the recent new light agrees with what Christendom has been teaching all along."

As we know, to a loyal JW, rules don't have to make sense.
The WT religion is all about blind obedience to the GB.
