Didn’t Jesus teach almost exclusively using parables and allegories?
🤨
according to jw interpretation of bible chronology, the earliest human, adam, came into existence some 6,048 years ago compared to scientific dating of human fossils believed to be much older.
since jesus validated the creation of adam and eve as historical people and jc’s own lineage is traced all the way back to adam, bible chronology is certified as true and there must be something wrong with scientific dating.
what proves scientific dating as accurate that humans are much older than what bible chronology says?.

i'm sure this will vary between jw to jw, but their choices are:.
1) they won't watch/read either.. 2) they will only allow lotr, not hp.. 3) they will only allow hp, not lotr.. 4) they will allow both.. in my experience, 3 never happens and 2 happens the most.
with the similar theme of magic, the occult, fantasy and monsters, i wonder what lets them think one is okay and the other is not.
Don’t ask, don’t tell.

Whoops, sorry about my earlier post…
…I misread the OP thinking that the WTS was accusing the Commission of abusing them.
My bad.

Funny you should say that.
As a loyal practicing JW, you’re technically willing to believe and/or disbelieve things on much flimsier foundations.

Funny, considering KHs in central Africa aren’t much more that dialed-up gazebos you could build for about 50 bucks with local muscle and materials.
