Problem is, the organization knows their understanding doesn't find support outside of their circle, so they came out with the articles a couple of years ago clarifying their stance. After the articles came out, an elder sent me one as I had brought up the subject in the past. Society says this is what it is, case closed, independent thinking not allowed.

Woman was created first! It's science.
by wannabefree inwoman was created first.. every human being has 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs, the first twenty two are autosomes, or matching, the twenty third pair matches in the female (xx), however, the male is mismatched (xy).. notice what is missing from that second x?
yes, one of its ribs has been removed.. clearly, in a female, since all are matching pairs, it makes sense that woman was created first as the male xy combination is the mutated pair.
why would god create the mismatched dna first?

Since I no longer believe in God and creation, I must revise this to say that perhaps the female is the original of the species and the male at some point must have been a mutation.

My friends don't believe dinosaurs existed ....
by wannabefree ini just found this out last night.
(preface: this is a husband and wife that i have come to be friends with after leaving the borg, they are christians).
we were sitting around visiting last night and having a good time when my friend starts in on illegal immigration and politics and starts throwing out his hate speech which eventually turns to homosexuals.

My friends are not JW's, they are quasi-nondenominational fundamentalists, and as far as I can perceive from our conversation, they basically believe dinosaurs are an elaborate hoax by scientists and/or satan.

how do you prove that witnesses are indeed, false prophets?.

Minimus ... how long you been here?
What's even the point?
Non-JW's couldn't give a rat's rump ... JW's won't listen.
... but I'm with Phizzy "Yes they are!"

Important questions about Paradise Earth and human perfection
by wannabefree inin paradise, will there be a perfect bust size?.
and what about sisters who have had enlargements or reductions, will they get to keep that chosen size or will jehovah pick the proper proportion?

That doesn't seem too paradise-like still in.
If we were created to have an attraction to certain characteristics, will that part of the brain switch off when we have a mate? Will it be wrong to notice beauty, or if everyone is equally attractive will beauty become plain?

When in, I thought about this at times too.
However, as you know, for a JW there is a scriptural answer for everything, and my indoctrinated mind would always come back to the following Bible verses ... which shouldn't wake you up, rather it should reinforce that JW's being full of weirdos meant you had the TRUTH® and how fortunate you were that you could be a part of it even though you weren't a weirdo yourself. (because no doubt most of us would exclude themselves as being one of the weirdos )
(1 Corinthians 1:26-29) 26 For you see his calling of you, brothers, that there are not many wise in a fleshly way, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, 27 but God chose the foolish things [weirdos] of the world to put the wise men to shame; and God chose the weak things of the world to put the strong things to shame; 28 and God chose the insignificant things of the world and the things looked down on, the things that are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 so that no one might boast in the sight of God.

Oh Irony of ironies: Googling for a problem caused by the WT and getting a solution from JW.org :-(
by BluePill2 ini have to share this with you.. after leaving the borg i had to concentrate to solve so many personal problems (financial, child custody, etc.
) that it left me with a poor social life.
i just didn't have the nerve/time to make new friends.
