How many trees that you know of grow knowledge? This should tell you that it is symbolic. The entire account of Adam and Eve is symbolic. It has meaning for us today in the way that it represents how humans would be.......I will explain the account as we progress through this thread...

today, and just today i've decided to go over to the dark side.
be forewarned this is an intenesely negative thread.
maybe i had a bad day.
I have really good friends that are J.W.'s There is nothing totally bad about this faith unless of course they are asking you to die by not recieving a blood transfusion. Other than that, they are like many other religions that feel they are the true faith. You will not find anything better. If so, point me in that direction......I bet you none of you can.

this generation will not pass away.
16 The second group included in “this generation” are anointed contemporaries of the first group. They were not simply alive during the lifetime of those in the first group, but they were anointed with holy spirit during the time that those of the first group were still on earth. Thus, not every anointed person today is included in “this generation” of whom Jesus spoke. Today, those in this second group are themselves advancing in years. Yet, Jesus’ words at Matthew 24:34 give us confidence that at least some of “this generation will by no means pass away” before seeing the start of the great tribulation. This should add to our conviction that little time remains before the King of God’s Kingdom acts to destroy the wicked and usher in a righteous new world.— 2 Pet. 3:13 .
The Great Tribulation commenced after the 911 attacks, where the United States, Great Britain, and France, came together in agreement to wage war in The Holy Land. The Great Tribulation is not against any so called "Christians", but against those of Abrahams descendants, who are misled by false prophets (Muhammad). The nation of Islam are hated by all nations, as they are labeled as terrorists for waging war against those that are waging war against them.......make application of the prophecies to those of the Islamic faith (Muslims), and you will understand the fulfillment of prophecy.

i have been hearing and reading on websites about some "new light" jws are saying concerning the faithful and discreet slave class.
it sounds like the same information they have been saying for years.
i was always taught the faithful and discreet slave class is the annoited governing body members dispensing food at the proper time for the non annoited jws.
There is no such thing as the faithful and discreet slave "class". It is one person. How can you read the scripture and say that it is a class of people?
45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46 Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47 Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings. 48 “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49 and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51 and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+
The W.T.S. are decieving the masses with their teaching of the faithful and discreet slave.......just read the scripture to know that it is one person. Their is "one" master and "one" slave.....

keep seeking first the kingdom of god, and all of these other things will be added to you.
my daily struggles from those that choose to deal injustice to me.
they will stand before me in judgment and they will know their wrong doing and will be punished for it.
Keep seeking first the Kingdom of GOD, and all of these other things will be added to you. My daily struggles from those that choose to deal injustice to me. They will stand before me in judgment and they will know their wrong doing and will be punished for it. Even the wicked spirits including satan shall know that Almighty GOD is with me. He will pay back what it is that they are deserving. I have walked the path of the faithful servant and have seen good and bad, happiness and sadness. I await you Almighty GOD, for Your Day is upon us. Please rescue your servant and all of those that are oppressed by the wicked and all of this calamity.....AMEN

1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. 3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 T hey gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. 8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. 10 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word. 11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. 12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. 13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.
thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.
i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.
Whether it is Jehovah, Allah, G_D, or Whomever you prefer to call our creator, why do people allow an organization to cause them to drift away from GOD? It is not humans that you are serving, but an All Loving GOD. Return to GOD despite what you believe or which faith you choose to follow. It is the intent of your heart that will save you, not a specific religion or organization. I am with GOD no matter what church I attend or what I believe. I choose to believe what makes sense to me, not what someone else is forcing upon me. Love GOD, not the organization that claims to represent Him.......

many times (almost all the time) atheists asking for proof of god's existence from those who believe that god exists.
perhaps at times they should prove he doesn't exist.
any taker?
If there would be absolutely NOTHING, the non-existence of a creator would be proved.
the non existence of a god is easier. ?
Please explain......I have no idea what you mean ? ? ?
