does anyone know when and how the change took place?
is the "day age" theory still the current position of watchtower?.
One explanation is the water canopy or "gloom"or whatever kept the sun from being distinct then became clear in day 4
There the things like the bristle cone predating the flood that slipped through.
They still hold to Adams creation at ? 4026 or whatever. I didn't look it up
jehovah's witnesses were raped and tortured by the thousands in malawi because they obeyed the watchtower society's rules, and they broke caesar's law and refused to purchase a political card in a country that only had one polictical party.
now (since 1999), jehovah's witnesses are allowed to vote in political elections!
i would love to hear everyone's comments.
Not being neutral so no longer one of JWs is the last I heard
In print they can show they are not preventing voting.....even while they do
here in the uk, we've had a recent missing persons case which has turned into a potential murder inquiry.. sarah everard (33), disappeared on wed 3 march in london.
human remains were subsequently found in a wood near ashford, kent, and a met police officer has been arrested on suspicion of murder.. horrible events, and the issue of women feeling unsafe on the streets certainly needs discussing.. but surely not what baroness jones suggested: tabling an amendment for a 6pm curfew for all men.
wtf???.

People say stupid stuff ESPECIALLY in parliament ( congress)
apparently , some bright spark has created a new sexuality - super-straight - and posted it on twitter.
it's a new sexuality that means people who are exclusively attracted to cisgender males or females.
it was made because some people are saying you aren't straight if you don't date transgender people.

Since brexit any chance of going back to pounds, shillings, and pence? Just to confuse us non brits

this is a sobering reminder of what happened some 40 years ago when raymond franz and others were literally kicked out from the jehovah's witnesses for having pre-arranged private spiritual discussions.lesson: paragraph 7 is another example of the i and t in dr. steven hassan's bite model of the 21st century cult - information and thought control at its best!!!!
"my gosh, there must be a lot of independent meetings these days.
Gone bad
Exactly. We have one young upcoming hotshot who is paying special attention to " spiritual widows". Holding so called family studies. Maybe he is looking for a mother?? Or something else. He is one of the ones who never seem to notice girls.
i just watched the oprah interview.
i know that many view them with little interest as just entitled wastes of space and i get that.. however, the description of how they were "trapped" and silenced and forced into perpetuating the system with little or no personal freedom rang bells for me.
they are effectively shunned, estranged and disparaged by their family and cut off from support.
If it was Charles who commented he has no room with his complexion as seen on tv
has anybody heard the new audio recordings for the main study book enjoy life forever?
instead of a straightforward reading, it's mixed with reenacted "quotes" delivered in a phony-natural voice from men and women, with hip music in the background.

"To the manor born " is hard to learn.
There are good historic reasons for the royal family being forbidden entering political discussion.
The misapplied: "all men are created equal" actually had to do with the supposed divine right of kings.
whether you are in the usa or another country, are you for it or against it?.
I think I should be able to go to Mexico, work, buy any property I want and avoid taxes.
There are actually few countries that are as attractive as the USA, Canada, western Europe
