  w73 7/15 p. 447 Questions From Readers Watchtower

  Alleged Questions from Readers but really from very bored men in the Writing Department

  When did God create unicorns and fairies, and when did they become extinct? — U.S.A.

  The Bible does not provide specific answers to this question but we will offer our uneducated opinion as truth from god. According to the Genesis account, unicorns and fairies were created during the fifth and sixth creative periods or ‘days’/120 and 144 hours respectively. If the Hebrew expression translated "great horned horsies and fairies" [Hebrew, horsey hornicus and fairicus dusticus ] includes unicorns and fairies , which often inhabited swampy, watery areas or bird houses, this would mean that unicorns and fairies were created on the fifth "day"/120 hours after the creation of everything else. (Gen. 1:21) We do not know but we will speculate anyway whether they continued to exist until man was created (toward the close of the sixth "day"/144 hours after the creation of everything else). At the very latest it seems likely ("evidently") that they must have disappeared off the earth at the time of the flood of Russell Crowe’s day. unicorns are great swimmers and fairies can fly, and some kinds of unicorns bear strong resemblance structurally and otherwise to waterhorses (horsey speedo-icus is, in fact, the Greek word for "horse in ridiculously small swimwear"; bulgicus junkis disgustingcus in Leviticus 11:29, LXX). Not all types of unicorns or fairies were of such gigantic size. Some fairies are the size of house flies. Hence, even if they had survived till Russell Crowe, this would not have required taking pairs of the mammoth varieties into the ark, as the ark was already full to capacity with kangaroos. Other smaller members of the particular family or "kind" to which these belonged would have sufficed to tell the ridiculous story of Bronze Age goat herders. — Gen. 6:19, 20; 7:14.

  Some of the older translations (inferior to the NWT Revised NWT) of the Bible at times use the word "dragons" to translate the Hebrew tan·ni·nim

  ′ ("sea monsters," NW). (Ps. 74:13; 148:7; Isa. 27:1, Authorized Version) The term "dragon" (Greek, dra ′ kon ) is found in the Christian Greek Scriptures. It has been suggested as possible that, rather than having a purely mythical source, this expression may originally have been applied to enormous creatures such as really big, really scary real dragons, taking on mythical tones only after these mammoth creatures had long disappeared after being killed by Lancelot. Interestingly, many of the mythical depictions of the "dragon" strongly resemble certain types within the family of huge reptilian creatures in Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" movie that includes the dinosaur and some pumped up unicorns on steroids".

  when New Light is released from above, thus allowing just the page with the old view to be removed & repaced with the new page

  And let's not overlook the inevitable exercise/health/homosexuality connection:

  .

  *** yp2 chap. 28 p. 233 How Can I Avoid Homosexuality? ***

  Shun pornography and gay propaganda. (Colossians 3:5) Avoid anything that will arouse immoral desires. This would include pornography, certain TV shows and movies, and perhaps even fashion or bodybuilding magazines that feature lightly clad models. Change negative thoughts to positive ones. “Whenever I have homosexual urges,” says one teenage boy, “I meditate on my favorite Bible text.”

  *** g88 10/22 p. 28 From Our Readers ***

  Bodybuilding

  I had started to do muscle exercises so as to have a good physical appearance. I began to take hormones to develop faster (a common thing among weight lifters). I trained four hours a day. But as I developed physically, I became stationary mentally. Then I read that article (“Young People Ask . . . Should I Go In For Bodybuilding?” December 22, 1986). I never thought I would give up that sport, but now I realize the need to build my mind and not just my body. So I have given it up. Thank you very much.

  100# overweight

  diabetic

  high blood pressure

  a heart attack waiting to happen

  can't look at himself in the mirror

  hasn't seen his Johnson in a decade because of his beer belly

  Thank you, Watchtower! Such awesome advice you gave me 26 years ago. I'm so glad I quit taking care of my body.

  Awake 1973 banned Witnesses playing Chess..why?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  are all articles from jehovahs thoughts or do personal biased views poison the watchtower articles?

  imagine a brother who hates chess observing in discust two bethelites playing chess...would it be right to use jehovahs "spiritual food" to push your own warped view....yes!!.

  awake 1973 3/22 p.12 chess- "...the spirit of compitition between players can lead to unplesant circumstances...most families can keep comfrontations to the chess board...but for some the tension lingers long past checkmate...chess has been a game of war since its origin...a play substitute for the art of war...there is a danger of "stirring up compitition with one another" even developing hostility towards one another, something the bible warns christians to avoid..what effect does playing chess have apoun one?

  Because WT has an opinion on everything and that opinion will change frequently as it goes through its mood swings.

  Essentially it boils down to this: whatever brings a person even a small measure of happiness, even something as pedestrian as chess, WT will find a way to suck the life right out of it.
