using bible in determing the date of the creation of adam .
anyone in their right mind believe this to be true in today age.. don,t you think this nullify the whole bible?
the very first book.
They also want you to believe Cain married his little sister. That means the 2 oldest boys stayed home with mom and dad, and little sis went away to the land of fugitives.
Cain was soooo afraid of his little bros and sisters (they all new him well because he was older ) so afraid they would kill him, that God had to put a sign on him.
Why would all the young ones leave mom and dad ?
Just one more reason Adam was not the first man.
with the new light in the july 15 watchtower, now might be the perfect time for rank and file members to question wether or not the big boys are who they say they are.
in light of the fact that the men who claim to be the sole channel of communication for all mankind could not even grasp their own identity for the last 100 years, wouldn't now be a good time to turn the tables on the elders who are so quick to drag a questioning dub to the back room and demand loyalty to the governing body?.
wouldn't now be a good time to put the july 15 watchtower in the middle of the table and ask to see the credentials on these men without fear of being suspected of apostacy?
This reminds me of the post I made .... The pope helped me punk JW.......I told them the pope was in Cuba signing bibles for the high officials. After letting them go on and on about how awful it was, I broke it to them, It was the GB that did it.
They change their tune after telling them it's in the WT July 15,1999........Not so bad after all.....It is so funny (but sad ) to see how their minds work.
i hear of these stories of elders swapping wives, i remember when i was young hearing of three elders in florida doing this and getting dfed.
my question is this how is it possible to bring this up in conversation?
it seems impossible, how can there be multi elders that know each other willing and the wives?
I think it first starts in the mind. A couple keeps talking about it privately during forplay. They meet another couple of like mind, that have also fantasized this scenorio. They reason this is harmless because it's just pretend.
Add alcohol and wallah.....it happens........much easier 2 time

what does everyone think, is dating avenues really that big of a deal?
i have been told by everyone on my congregation to not trust online dating.
especially if this is supposed to be the "truth".
There is a JW dating site. But IMO JW men have a lot of sisters to choose from. I have seen some that are very homely men, married to girls that look like beauty queens. One recent example is the governing body member ( 57 yrs old but looks 67 ) that is engaged to a pretty young woman about 28 years old ( looks like she could be 18 )
If you want to see their picture together do a search on this site just type in ( are they married yet )
Maybe someone can post the link
Anyway, if I wanted a JW husband I would go on the JW dating site. Find out what congregation he goes to. Call the kingdom hall, and ask about him.
I would do this after a few telephone calls, but before a face to face. Please don't think all JW make good husbands. Sometimes that subjection thing goes to their head. If they have been a JW all their lives, odds are you will be poor and have to work forever. Even after children.
JW's are discouraged from higher education and a career.
My first husband was never baptized, but raised to be a JW so I thought he was a good guy. Turned out to be a big cheater . (Repeatedly)
I do hope your dreams come true sherry
watch 1974 p.167 "by disobediently overindulging in food and making a glutton of himself, he fails to show love for jehovah...is food a big thing in his life?
in the presence of others does he selfishly ignore their needs and take far more than his fair share?
is he grossly overweight?
I have known many over 300 pounds. Everyone says they have a medial condition. LOL I did love going to my big fat JW weddings !
the society claims now, that before 1914/1919 there was no fds, this means also, russel was not part of it, he was not the channel from god.. then the calculation for 1914, which russel made popular and promoted, was done in a time, when god revealed actually nothing, does this prepare the way to finally dump 1914 chronology ?
approaching the 100 year anniversary for christs supposed rulership, it becomes anyway more and more ridicolous.. i know, some argue 1914 is essential for their being chosen 1919, but now they say, they are somehow not appointed over the belongings yet, so also this aspect looses significance.
and the inspection of the temple can begin anytime anyway, it was convinient to link it to 1914 but i think its not really necessary.
Very well said Villagegirl.
it's being piped from australia bethel to all the kingdom halls in australia.
apparently the meeting this sunday will go for 3 hours.
anyone here gonna listen/attend?.
Isn't he from there ? If he is, how convenient .
while one might expect to have girl scouts trying to sell you things outside walmart.
today i brought my son to the walmart grocery store and as we were getting out of our car, mormons approached us.. they asked if i knew who they were.
and if i'd talked to them before.
Good for you ! Love the part where you bought them a drink. Maybe you can catch the JW's smoking and buy them a cigar. lol

i consider myself more a "moderate" in my thinking, whether it be politically or otherwise..
Libertarian- fiscal conservative
from the secret elders' book which states that the list "of course" is "not comprehensive".
nevertheless here are the acts that they deem worthy of specifying as being possible grounds for chucking people out:.
murdermanslaughter such as killing someone while breaking traffic lawsattempting suicidesexual intercourse with someone other than your spouseanal sex with someone other than your spouseoral sex with someone other than your spousesexual stimulation of the genitals of someone other than your spousedelay in reporting a rape?
SMOKING
