    *** w56 9/1 p. 530 par. 16 The Divine Origin of Marriage ***And Jehovah God proceeded to build the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and to bring her to the man." The man was overjoyed to receive and accept her at his heavenly Father’s hand, and he named her to show she was part of himself. "Then the man said: ‘This is at last bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one will be called Woman [or Ish·shah´], because from man [or Ish] this one was taken.’" (Gen. 2:21-23, NW) God had now divided the feminine characteristics from Adam and put them in this woman or Ish·shah´ and thus produced the human sexes.
    Though the man Adam had the feminine properties divided from him and embodied in his wife, he was still left perfect; he was still in God’s image and likeness.

    Wow Blondie! You never cease to amaze me by finding all kinds of odd and strange quotes by the WTS.

    This is a keeper for me. I'll bring it up when talking with the elders or MS that Adam was asexual until Jehovah helped him out. Just imagine the looks as their faces........in total doubt........and annoyance........with my comment......until I show them the article you quoted.

    Good one!

    Thanks Blondie for your contributions!

    The WTS has said something like that, Satanus. But I don't think the elders want to imitate that.

    *** w07 9/15 pp. 21-22 par. 4 "Your Father Is Merciful" ***As recorded at Isaiah 49:15, Jehovah says: "Can a wife forget her suckling so that she should not pity the son of her belly?" Hebrew words closely related to the one here translated "pity" are used in connection with mercy at Psalm 145:8, 9, quoted above. The emotion that moves Jehovah to be merciful is compared to the warm feeling that a nursing mother normally has for her child. Perhaps the baby is hungry or has some other need.

    After that he called their name "MAN" - so Eve was "MAN". Paragraph 18 then says that Jehovah God was copying on an earthly level a great heavenly pattern of his own. so Jehovah's universal organization was taken from himself. It was a creation "emanting" from himself. So in effect they are saying that Jesus is God and also all the spirit creatures are too, as well as Satan. Whew!!

    Flaming hell ! how much can you get from one rib ? That must have been one heck of a rib.All this begs the question why was Adam given the female qualities in the first place? Did he go around trying to redecorate Eden and was always moving things about so that they were in their proper place,perhaps God got fed up of his nagging and decided to remove his womanly traits.Sorry ladies only joking.Did Adam say to God " does this fig leaf make my dangly bits look big," once to often, and to shut him up he created woman?
