January 1 WT - Garden of Eden - Most inane article in a while
by eric356 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the wt has really managed to outdo itself in regards to stupid, poorly researched articles attempting to defend ancient myths as literal history.

the latest effort is the cover article "the garden of eden - myth or fact?".

no moderately educated adult should have to ponder that question for long before answering "myth".

one secret to success is to follow the example set by previous successful people.

in neuro-linguistic programming this is called "modelling behavior.".

minimus has show himself to be a person of spectacular, virtual "overnight" success, but we all know this is a result of rigorous daily effort and a pathologically high level of self-esteem.. i crave the same rewards - sex, drugs, rock n' roll - that minimus has enjoyed, and to obtain them i am willing to cast off my previously humble reserved nature and indulge in blatant self-aggrandizement.

this is the new book edited by edmund gruss.

i just finished reading it and must say a one word description would be "disturbing".

the book focuses of course on the characters and motivations of the first four presidents of the watchtower society.
