Why do girls have a hymen?
by JWchange in
1. social
2. family
if you believe humans evolved, and were not created, why would having a hymen help, especially as no other mammal has one?

if you believe humans were created by {a} god, or intelligent beings with advanced technology, what was the reason for a hymen?

i'm interested to hear your thoughts on this unusual subject, not many people talk about..

You have a $100,000,000 budget to do a global campaign against the WTBS worldwide. How would you spend it?

2. scandals
what if by inheritance, winning the lottery or any other way, you suddenly got your hands on $150m after tax.

you maybe would spend a third of this giving your extended family financial security for life.

you maybe would buy a boat and a few investment properties.

this post is not meant to be blasphemous to non-atheists on this forum , just philosophical.

i refer to a god rather than the creator.

it;s 10,000 years in the future and you are a phd student with a brain the size of a planet, that has incredible technology at your fingertips to create life, similar to humans living today or better, intelligently and physically.

in the future, it could be the case that the wtbts has sold all of its assets including kingdom halls, branch offices, and stocks to pay lawsuits.

there is a schism in the religion.

membership of original jws has dwindled however the die hards remain loyal, unemployed, poor, dressed in rags.
