if in the wts earthly-paradise fantasy, the wolf won't eat no more the lamb and they will be the best friends, will human continue to kill lambs to eat?.
the earthly paradise is vegan?.
Talking about logic, Abel did not kill lambs to eat either, he might have done it just to sacrifice. Since the centerpiece of the paradise was a talking, walking snake with a diet changed to dust, where is the basis for logic?

If Adam and Eve in Eden would have been carnivores we would not be in this trouble, the last days, so: what makes you think more of fruit&vegetables will solve the problems?

the key to youth appears to be in the blood plasma – the liquid part of blood.
several studies have found that injecting plasma from young mice into old mice can help rejuvenate the brain and other organs, including the liver, heart, and muscle.. blood has the power to turn back time.
we hope that the blood we have to have in an emergency is healthy, but in the whole, is it wholesome? vampire, bat-shitty or otherwise digest blood. that is a crappy affair. black stool , but not a vampire,? see a doctor, you digesting your own, seeping blood. good health to you too.
it seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.
it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.
something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.
I arrived home after a day of service, and on our bed was a brown mail wrapper. special delivery, bethel style, the latest wt mag, per subscription. rapt attention to Question from reader, and: " Superior Authorities not J&j, but the governments ". I never felt so deflated. We just had come that afternoon from a bible study in the brown, -s-coloured " Let god be true-- man a liar 'book, that had driven home the unique wt doctrine, that only J&j are superior, -governments are nothing. We were made fools of, despite a brilliant and desperate defense of an untenable position. snap.
WT will never make fools of us again.
when 1975 was in their next book, we build our first house, still in the family as a monument to wt errors, that cause so much harm.
1. attend a charity christmas party which my wife (active jw) helps to organise each year 😀.
2. buy a very small christmas tree with lights for the living room (which can easily be hidden away if jw friends are coming up).
3. buy some nice presents for my family.
I like the lights,-- but there is limit--an article in the Guardian, how the Santa Claus lies are harmful to Children, so, I am thinking, wt threats of Armageddon are so successful, because it is just another version of
" better be good,-- for Santa Claus is coming to town--"
rather than just rely on the watchtower's latest opinions... are you ready?.
1) please read this article:.
2) if you are offended by the article's title, read this page for an explanation of what the phrase means, then go back and read it:.
and: jesus said the generation he lived in would see and survive the end, wt now teaches that the present generation will die before the end even gets too near.
reports are coming from witnesses that, once again, the number of memorial partakers has risen considerably this past year, 2016. while confirmation is still to come on the exact numbers, the current explanations given for this increase surely causes a dilemma.. imagine the roman catholic church publishing each year the number of members who it felt were mistaken about what they believed in, that this same number of members was likely suffering from problems such as pride or even mental disorders or something along this line.
this number, by the way, was in the thousands too and growing annually.
what would you conclude, therefore about the catholic church and its admission?.
Continuing to Concentrate on the possible fixes for the increasing partaker paradox of wt: how about the potential new light that the number 144k refers only to those still on earth? the remnant must at any given time never exceed 144000, but the heavenly total is astronomical,? if not comical?
i was never a jw , so have millions of questions .
please, how does an elder become an elder and how much trust does or should a jw put in an elder .?

How come? I heard it once summarized: You have to act as an elder. appointment is then only a formality. Once appointed though, the disappointment sets in, as you realize how much wt formality takes over your good intentions. The dilemma? how to deal with all the personal problems that a female mind and heart is so much better equipped to understand and handle.

Many partakers are acting on a mistaken belief about the mistaken wt belief system. but even then -1 x -1 does not = +1. The increase in numbers reflects the increase in mistakers that is bound to happen with time, and their unscriptural practice to invite the world at large.
