why are all angels in jw publications male?

i was thinking about this today, as i notice other christian religions show angels as male and female.

do you think that this was another way of showing how males were superior to females in their teaching, or that their god "jehovah" was more favorable to the male appearance.

(Aaaaah, the good ol' days of hijacking threads...)

Thanx SS, it was an excellent summer, all in all. Sure, there were some idiots (talking about 2 of the other monitors, of course... not the children. Never the children...) amongst them (don't look at me... ), but nothing a thick skin can't handle. Actually, I've been back a long time ago, but I've been only lurking these days, nothing more. Hopefully I'll be able to get my "groove" back soon. See you around!

Bible Prophecies?

by mindfield in

no, i'm not getting any doubts that the bible is any more than what i believe it is... a myth.

however, i do have a particular question about one aspect that my jw uncle raised during one of our conversations: what about those so-called "prophecies"?

no, i'm not talking about the vague nostradamus-like "statue made of different kinds of crap".

No, I'm not talking about the vague Nostradamus-like "statue made of different kinds of crap". I'm talking about the more specific ones, such as the one involving Babylon and delivering the specific name of the man who would overtake Babylon.

Now my question is: How is this "prophecy" explained in logical terms? Is it a question of the verse having been written after the event? Something else? I'd just like to know to make the curiosity part of my mind shut up.

*slaps self*

Thanx.

Perhaps you need a little taste of what life in Tartarus is like.

Fin ally someone with some sense in these forums.

I beg to differ.
