jws seem to firmly believe that before the flood mankind eas vegan or at least vegetarian.. however, in gen 1:24,25 it says that god created livestock (domestic animals) and beasts of the eart (wild beasts).. why would adam and eve need livestock if they were vegan and naked?
wouldn't need wool or hide for clothing, nor meat for food.
possibly for dairy products only?
Were Adam and Eve vegan/vegetarian?
No one can know what they chose to eat. But I would add to your documentation, the fact that humans have the teeth of omnivores. I think they ate meat. But who can possibly understand the nonsensical logic of the JWs?

good pick?
bad pick?

Let's be real. Harris is irrelevant standing next to Trump. The democrats need a vibrant candidate if they want to have a chance at winning. Even people that don't like Trump were impressed with how he handled being shot at. I'm not impressed with Harris even though she passes my initial bar for candidacy, but only just.
imagine if all the governing body resigned and a new set of brothers came in and said we are very very sorry for all those who have been disfellowshipped and disassociated over the years.
we know many mistakes have been made.
we are really genuinely sorry to all those who have been hurt and especially those who have died and been hurt by these mistakes.

But not to worry we will still be discriminating against women. We're different people... still men and only men... so not really different, just different. You know?
Dude... if you can't conceive of gender equality long enough to set your hypothetical in place... nothing can change. When you can't suppose a difference of real value, then there isn't a capability of change because the problem is so systemic that you don't even realize you are part of the problem yourself.
i just did a google search to see if i could find out if my old kingdom hall was still there, in the town i grew up in.
google has generated questions.
the first question asked how much jehovah's witness elders get paid.
I didn't think they got paid. The Elders I knew always had hard work/low pay jobs. Maybe the website also assumes that JW Elders are the same as religious leaders in other religions?

with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.
in my mind these are the results;.
1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.
In order to get baptized I had to be regularly be reporting at least 10 hours a month. If no one has to publish hours anymore... is this criteria just scrapped? I mean, I think it is a great change and I'm all for it.. in or out. But it actually seems like a good criteria that people wanting to be baptized as Jehovah's Witnesses actually do witness to a specific standard. I mean, it's part of the name.
Anyone know what happened with this?
does anyone have a list of all the new light or gb updates in order?
is there a post here that lists all the changes in the organization?
i left about 1996 and i haven't kept up, but it seems like a completely different organization than it was when i was in it.
@peacefulpete
I'm not sure what your answer has to do with my question. I agree that it is as it has always been. I'm still curious about the changes and having a list of them... either since 1996 or since the beginning.
a sister has snitched on me.
got a message from my group overseer requesting a little chat to see if i’m okay.
urgent suggestions needed please.
You might consider turning it back on your sister. Let them know that you are just fine but that you are really worried about your sister. She seems to be having a lot of doubts and her behavior is odd lately.
My sister started a rumor about me and half my family shunned me. I had no recompense as it was a done deal. That was over 25 years ago and they are all still shunning me. If I could go back, I would take her behavior to the elders and I would explain to them that I was depressed and doing nothing wrong. That was actually the case at the time.
I would still fade out, but maybe I would have maintained some of my family relationships.

@notsurewheretogo
I don't want to go back in. That has nothing to do with why I asked.
It seems like a lot of work to me, but I think there are a lot of xJW nerds (this is a compliment) in the world and I am assuming someone has made a list somewhere.
i was wondering how long it would take to read the bible if one read only a single scripture everyday.
and then i remember there being a daily scriptures booklet/book.
in my memory it was purple.

That is insane, and awesome! Thank you for the knowledge!
