About the Adam and Eve time gap....
by Lozhasleft in
1. jw
2. friends
what's got me a bit befuddled is this.... when eve was created she was physically perfect right?

and apparently god blessed them which counted as a marriage.

so....that means that satan's deception of eve must have been almost immediate?....because being perfect she would have conceived virtually straight away, surely?

2. bible
mark 9:.

38 teacher, said john, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.. 39 do not stop him, jesus said.

for no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me,40for whoever is not against us is for us.41 truly i tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the messiah will certainly not lose their reward.. .

jw's believe all non-jw's are going to die at armageddon.

this can't be debated.

by brotherdan in
1. jw
2. experiences
i thought this would be an interesting poll that would show everyone the backgrounds of all of us when we left, if we have.. for myself, i am not df'd, but i am attempting a fade.

i still go to some meetings with the wife to help with kids, but that's it.

no commenting or field service.. what about everyone else?.

Verifiable Former Bethelite Willing to Answer questions
by Uzzah in
1. jw
2. friends
i am a former active poster here, former elder, former bethelite and pretty much known by people on the xjw boards since the mid 90's.

gawd that makes me sound old.. i notice that a great deal of uproar is being made by allegations of a hide in the closet alleged bethelite.

to counter the damage caused by this claim, i am happy to address any questions people may have about bethel, protocol, etc.. i was at the canada branch for 11 years, worked in multiple areas including the legal department, service desk and writing dept.

A question on the genetic difference between human/chimps compared to that between other related animals
by bohm in
1. jw
2. friends
i have a question on evolution i have been pondering.

is there a good measure of the genetic difference between human/chimpanzees that make it possible to compare "evolutionary gap" between humans and chimps to that between eg.

different kinds of fruit-flies, dogs breeds (or dogs-wolves, etc.)?
