i'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here and guess that the watchtower is having a wonderful time over the whole ukraine situation.
is the whole " end of times " thing being pushed again to bring dissidents back into line .
they must be seeing as a gift from above .

watchtower 1964 page 352 "....before god cursed it the snake had legs that elevated it off the ground.
god transformed its body so that it ceased to have legs and could move on its belly.".
book "gods eternal purpose"1974 - "god did not put a curse on the whole serpent family...it had only been victimised by satan...".
So most Christians don't necessarily take the creation story literally.
However this discussion intrigued me and a very little digging produced this among other articles. Another poster said much the same .
do you remember the time when every watchtower article seemed like a boasting session?
how great watchtower was.
they we're the only one with holy spirit.
Btw everything that l had written was true . I think that it hit home and maybe some cognitive dissonance was at work.

It seems as if individual JWs still diss other religions. l got this reply on Quora. I assume that research means reading WT publications
i just picked up a few from mark jones as follows:.
i see is that the vast majority of jws don't seem to understand what their religion actually teaches.. the more controversial or embarrassing doctrine - although still official doctrine that has never been rescinded - is just not talked about anymore in the magazines.
there are dinosaurs living on venus.https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/2fowhx/dinosaurs_on_venus/.
Mr Roboto so they don't practise theological warfare ( lying ) any more ?
Jan
denial..
Carla l totally agree with your comments .l am a Christian, Anglican , which l may have mentioned a few times :) . Now that l know more about JWs and l say something to my fellow believers they look at me like I've lost my marbles. They really can't wrap their heads around TTATT . They think that I'm exaggerating or just being nasty.
They know that JWs have some different practices to mainstream religion but have difficulty realising that it's a cult .

i don't think that it's too early to start this thread so .
merry christmas everyone.
maybe people could share christmas music or clips to get us all in the mood.
Oh bless your little cotton socks .
No it's not too late
Happy New Year 🎊🎉🍾.
If you want to send me a Christmas card next year l would send you one .

some jokes i`ve heard and 1 or 2 i`ve made up .. the shortest man in the bible ?
knee high mia.
one with a facial affliction.?
Yes but the olduns are the best, as we know 🤣.

All good questions Stan, to which we don't get any answers at all . Just like the direct questions that l have asked.
Thomas is either incapable or disinclined to enter into actual discussion.
I am bowing out of all of his threads and leaving him alone . ( Lovingly of course 😁) .

i have been on m any different forums, and only carm is similar to this.. all the rest have rather hypocritical trust in god.. this and carm are for those who apostate to the wtbs and to god.. turned off by the gb, or hypocritical examples in the congregation, they drop worshiping god and their belief in the bible... for they know too much,.
that's why scripture isn't discussed, and jws like me, are demonized.. i am cool with that!
maybe some of you will come to their senses!.
Road to Nowhere l agree, THIS is going nowhere . I'm bowing out .
