Oh gosh, I was warned not to read this thread!
(and I'm not superstitious)
what if there were no such things as arabic numerals (0123456789)?.
what if you only had your alphabet?.
you could use letters as numerical values.

this is an unofficial survey.. was curious as to the number of currently serving elders who were born-in and/or raised as jw versus those who were "recruited"( i.e, not born in or raised as jw.).
for instance, right now in the hall i am assigned to:.
2 elders were born-in and/or raised as jws.. 5 were not (recruited as adults).

What is the makeup of the elder body in the cong. you are assigned to right now? How many born-in/raised? How many "recruited"?
did you see the post on reddit?
unconfirmed naturally and just a rumour but at at one assembly this week it was announced that the 6 members of the gb send their love.. .
there are 7 members of the gb.. .
Yeah, it was Raymond Franz!
thankfully my parents are converts so they aren't wierd.
seemed pretty popular by all accounts.
they are "popular" jws even now.
My wife and I have always joked about the bible verse which describes god's followers as a "people peculiarly his own."
Peculiar indeed!
nasa discovery proves the bible scientifically accurate.
the debate.
for decades there has been a long standing debate between science and religion as to the validity of the biblical genesis account of creation.
Everyone on this forum will awaken in their own time.
Yes. I have.
ok, so, brother morris seems to have gone out on a limb with his comments about tight pants.
yup, he's an opinionated man.
but, i fully expect that there will be some reference to the scientific wisdom behind his words.
Interesting.
So, yes, there could be a "mismatch" here between an evolutionary perspective which would favor "loose pants" (or even no pants) as being most adaptive, as opposed to a more cultural perspective favoring "tight pants" which would, according to the speaker, attract only members of the same sex (not very adaptive).
I'm going to cut right down the middle (ouch! That hurt just saying it!) and choose pants that "fit" me, neither tight nor loose.
so i asked my wife to take the "spiritual belief system" quiz online.
now, this is not claiming to be a scientifically accurate system to determine your religious affiliation, but i thought it would be an interesting exercise.. for those who haven't seen it, the questionnaire is here:.

Interesting, JUSTNOWOUT. . . . I'll have to research that a bit further.

After you answer the questions, it returns what "spiritual belief system" you are most closely aligned with with according to a percentage scale. For instance, #1 for me was Secular Humanist at 100%, #2 Non-theist (87%) and #3 Unitarian Universalist (84%). Dead last at #27 was Jehovahs Witness at 0%.
So I ask my wife to take the test, and all I ask is that she answers what she actually believes, and not what she's supposed to say.
I'm expecting JWs to be in the top 5. Certainly not the #1 spot, but up there.
Here are her results:
#1 Orthodox Quaker- Religious society of friends (100%)
#2 Reform Judaism (96%)
#3 Unitarian Universalism (88%)
Now when I saw these top results, I wasn't particularly surprised. I was kind of happy we have a bit of overlap in the UU category.. . . . . But where were JWs?
I started scrolling. . . . .down. . .. .. down. . . down. . . .
#26 Jehovahs Witness (35%)
This is good!

Sometimes things seem 100% true. All evidence points to it being true, but as time goes on things are proved otherwise.
Yes. At first reading as a child, the genesis account seems to be 100% true. Quite "reasonable." All the evidence (that watchtower supplied me) also pointed to it being true.
Cofty, just because Iam reading one book about evolution, doesn't mean I'm going to believe it right off the bat.
Actually, there is no need to "believe" in evolution.
Well, I suppose on some level, you do need to "believe" that you actually exist and that you are in fact reading a book.
Other than that. . . .

TLTR.
Would rather read the entire creation account right from genesis.
