If Adam and Eve never ate from it sooner or later SOMEONE would have come along and ate from it. The kids for sure! Then what?

Realization about the Adam and Eve myth
by CordyC inas i looked at the adam and eve story again, i realized the something is wrong with the story.
jehovah offers the pair all the fruits in the garden of eden save the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.
there's a problem though, why would there be a fruit for that if bad supposedly wasn't around at that point yet?

But what if they're right............still the Truth?
by ScoobySnax inthis will probably apply to few here, but to me it'll always be that way.
it's the what if syndrome maybe, but it's always there.
i still think that as a core belief system the jw's have it right, even if their delivery isn't always right.

All I could come up with so far that makes any sense at all is he was making some sort of a point by picking these people. I can't believe he picked them because he was so fond of them and all their fine attributes such as stubbornness, fickleness, impatience etc. etc. There is a moral to the Bible story if we stop focusing so much on all the clutter. They weren't chosen because they were so righteous. After reading the bible, whatever translation, the only thing that remains consistent is what's in your heart is what counts. plm

I've often pondered that as well. But I've not been able to completely understand why, hope nobody takes offense by this, why he chose such a stupid people. Hand them a lit firecracker and say: "Here hold this" and they would!
The formatting seems to have a mind of it's own

Five years posting!
by LittleToe init doesn't seem two minutes since i first joined this site.
on the other hand it feels like i've been here forever, accumulating about 15,000 posts in the process.. it was a wednesday (12 september 2001) on a small island off the west coast of scotland .
in recent months i had experienced a spiritual awakening of such proportions that it caused me to question one after another of the beliefs that i'd been raised with as a jw.

Why we should be glad WT apologists post here
by Lady Lee inno i haven't lost all my marbles -- yet.
they serve as reminders of what we have left behind and never want to go back to.people who have some doubts or questions about the wts and come to this board can see for thewmselves how jws don't have answers for everything.
in fact they have a very hard time defending their faithi have yet to see any person post here who has seen the real truth about the wts; teachings turn around and say, "yes i'm going back even if i know they are wrong.

We'll if we could go back in time and meet ourselves when we were brainwashed JW's we might not like the person we meet.
So true and I think a lot of us tend to forget that little fact.

I enjoy reading the debates until they get up to page 50 or 60 when my lap top refuses to open them anymore.
