“1975” still marks 6000 years from the creation of adam in wt calendar.
according to “all scriptures inspired” book, there is a gap between the creation of adam and the creation of eve and her marriage to adam.
it was at that point in time when eve was created that marked the end of the 6th creative day and the beginning of god’s rest, the 7th day as recorded in genesis.
"strongly indicate that each of the creative days (Genesis, chapter 1) is 7,000 years long. Based on this reasoning, the entire creative week would be 49,000 years long."
I think that the creative days or episodes in our modern vernacular are 24 or 12 hours long with each of these creative episodes covering millions of years.
cofty could you answer how the single cell came about by chance?.
i know the argument for complexity in nature says natural selection over billions of years but this could not explain the complexity of the single cell the building blocks of life?.
Well, By chance or evolution is not possible.
It's impossible for the end result of plants, animals and humans to have arrived by chance or evolution.
.......do you still believe the organization's false teaching that romans 6:7 refer to a person's literal death?.
watchtower may 15th 1982, pp.
8,9 - "the bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed.".
The Bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed." but not inherited sin because Lazarus still was a sinner.
The Bible is right.

But don't we have the Gospels and the Greatest Man book for remembrance of him?

On March 9, 2023, a shooter attacked the Hamburg-Winterhude Kingdom Hall after the midweek meeting had concluded. Sadly, four brothers, two sisters, and a sister’s unborn child were killed in this shooting. Several other brothers and sisters were injured. Local elders are providing spiritual comfort to the family members and friends of those affected. We appreciate the courageous help provided by the police and emergency services. Our prayers are with all those affected by the attack. We are confident that Jehovah, the God of peace, will continue to be a refuge and strength in this time of distress.—Psalm 9:9; 46:1; Philippians 4:9."
A shooter? Appreciate the courageous help by the police. Refuge and strength? huh?
Can they ever do anything without a script?

CBS news reported he was a 35 year old exjw who had a sport shooting license permit for the pistol and undiagnosed mental illness.
this book was published around 1990, but was never studied (to my knowledge).
does anyone know the reason why?.
It was never studied in the Congregation's book study.
i had a thought about neutrality...how we were never to take sides on political issues, say by voting.
how does that square with the letters we were asked to write to various lawmakers in countries-not too many years ago we were ask to write to russian officials.
i wonder if there is to be a letter writing to norway.
Jesus never said to be Neutral. He said his kingdom is no part of the world.
The neutrality comes in when they say American JWs didn't fight against Germany and German JWs didn't fight against the Allies. That's not neutrality. That was their saying: We didn't kill anyone from any sides.
But German and Japanese JWs would have known that their was was bad, but the Allied JWs would have known that their war was good. That is the difference.
Same with today. JWs in Russia wouldn't be fighting Putin's war, so anyone fighting against the Russians wouldn't be killing JWs there. But JWs in Ukraine should be against the war criminal Putin.
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.

"The Governing body that have 'ill health' are generally still GovBod are not 'removed'"

How many Bible words are in the Bible?
Why do we have to mirror the Bible? Why is that the authority?
Why can't there be use of words not in the Bible or not use words that are in the Bible?
In other words, what's so special about the Bible?
