perhaps others can confirm the very words. Adam actually married "in the Lord" did he really think he would become a widower? even now, couples die very close in time to each other. Did Adam prefer death to life without Eve? Or: did he eat to impress Eve? like Hinckley, the would be killer of R.Reagan, risking all to impress his girl?

to marry a non JW is like Adam's choice? deadly? really?
by prologos inwt's fallacious analogies.
so: adam could not live without her, eve, but did the continuation of the marriage depend on him eating too?
did his' eating extend eve's life?

Sir, If Circuit Oversees have to strictly adhere to wt outlines now, it comes from wt writers. ( maintain purity) anyway,
the non-jw marriage angle does not take away from the hilarity of it all. but
threatening prospective lovelorn jws with gehenna would be gross.
"Marry only in the Lord", preferably from among those that are "Lording it over you," (MS, glorious one's families)

really? wt's fallacious analogies. so: Adam could not live without her, Eve, but did the continuation of the marriage depend on him eating too? did his' eating extend Eve's life? many more fallacies in that wt illustration. . ( you might think of them), and post please
1) why not have Adam ignore Eve's offer, live with her for minus 960 years, and after Eve's death, -- marry one of his grand, grand grand-- daughters, still 50% perfect? He could have that way our imperfection, the "dent in the pan", bred out of the human race.
glad to have the talking snake story to kick around.
No resurrection for Adam, so: coming retribution for you lucky non-jw-married ones too.
PS: "Marry only in the Lord." listen to those lording it over you! or else.

What is life?
by punkofnice inwhen i was a jobo, i used to thing of 'life without end at laaaasssssst'.. having been on my journey out of the wbt$ slaveholdery, i have found that something that makes sense is that life doesn't owe us a meaning.
psalms 146:4 was actually bangeth on the money-eth 'his breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.'.
although i am now very atheist, and really do not even think there is the remotest possibility of a god, that bible passage is correct.

LUHE: "Life is a struggle
a profound statement, it is only because of the ones that struggled successfully that we, life, are around today and enjoy it's advancements , pain relief ---.
P.S. learn to enjoy the struggle. most successful strugglers did, Einstein, Usain Bolt,-- if you do not enjoy struggle, achievement, you miss life's purpose, it is the push for success, betterment. Creation rewards the successful livers. remember Jacob's hip, hipp hipp hurray.

Did anyone catch the irony in the December JW Broadcast?
by sir82 inthere was an interview with a 107 year old lady who had been a jw since the age of 10 or so.
remembers seeing the "photodrama of creation" when it was still a thing, etc.. so she's explaining about herself & her husband witnessing thru the years, 1930's thru now.. she says at one point, her husband called on a guy who said something like "the last time i got a call from a jw, it was 50 years ago in xyz village by a guy on a bike who said armageddon was coming soon.".
the lady was just so tickled, because the guy on the bike was her husband, who happened to run into the same guy (who remembered him) 50 years later.. and i'm thinking "wait a minute....her husband said 'armageddon was coming soon' 50 years earlier...obviously he was completely wrong.

But she wasn't - she said her parents "learned the truth" when she was 10 years old, so that would be 1919.
sorry Sir, I can not watch these wt production, did not know these details.
I was thinking before the re-baptism new light of wt, when a baby baptism in another church would be still valid, and all wt members were anointed before 1935. Another unknown anointed jw born a few years earlier, with her longevity, would get the overlappers past 2100. if faithfull, and if they are inured to wt's new light flip flops and doctrines. What they believe does not matter to them really, , and why should it?, it is after all, only talking snake talk follow-up anyway.

Sir : "--She was only 5 years old in 1914, certainly not baptized then, so even if "anointed", per the official malarkey, er, doctrine, she could not be part of the "first group" of the "overlapping generation".
prologos reply: I was referring to anointed "like her", in age, the way David Splane suggested older over-under-lappers "like F. Franz" which would bring us only to ~ 2072-75. If she was baptized as a baby, and anointing usually happens at baptism, she would be of the first, underlapped group.

wait a minute, in the truth for 97 years? since 1919, the year the GB, Faithful & Discreet Slave was born? invisibly? witnessed in the 30, so, of the anointed? part of either the overlapped or the overlappers? or both?with anointed like her, and overlapping, the great tribulation need not start until 2108, armageddon even later. new light hidden right there.

pon: " I await a big bang that showers me with goodness. --- Will Jehovah(tm) speed it up in his own time?
The big bang was actually very, very small, but if you were not there, you would not be here now. the goodness ( if any) is in the now, so: create it.
It will not be sped up, (that is why so many jws are fed up.) but as you age, the fixed markers, years, month, days seem to speed by faster. (it is all in the mind).

SBF: "--Since time may not always have existed (a contradictory statement - I don't know how to put it). Or since there may be conditions under which there is no such thing as time. Or time may be a way of looking at things rather than an objective reality.
Anyway since time isn't necessarily the immutable stream we sometimes thought it might be.
Time is not a stream but a dimension through which you might move. (depending on your speed, acceleration) Life has to move through time, because it can not exist at the speed of light, or in a black hole, where movement through time ceases. Movement through time made evolution our emergence possible. Life is moving through time past our death to sharpen the human race. It is not called a race for nothing, the race through time. -

Has anyone out here read Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason"?
by Captain Schmideo2 ini wish i had read this back when i was 18. it's an amazing take down of religious beliefs, the bible, and religion in general.
) a "reason"-able manner.take this quote, from near the beginning:.
when also i am told that a woman, called the virgin mary, said, or gave out, that she was with child without any cohabitation with a man, and that her betrothed husband, joseph, said that an angel told him so, i have a right to believe them or not: such a circumstance required a much stronger evidence than their bare word for it: but we have not even this; for neither joseph nor mary wrote any such matter themselves.
