If we are further away from perfection, why are we more moral?
by stuckinarut2 inas we know, witnesses teach that adam and eve were perfect and then committed the first act of sin and rebellion.. they in turn were cursed,and we all declined as their offspring.
humans supposedly lived shorter and shorter lives, and became more imperfect and sinful.. the further away in time humans go then, they should be getting worse.
so why is it then that as a society, humans have actually improved in so many ways?.

The further a person, family, or group of people move away from the influence of jehovah the more moral and just they become.

In a congregation I was in some 15 years ago a brother was prescribed medical marijuana for his spinal pain relief. He let the elders know just in case anyone in the cong reported him. I was with him when he told the elders. One elder replied that he did not think it was appropriate for Christians. An answer had already been prepared. The brother replied "well if that's the case then I want to report every sister in the congregation for fornication with their gynaecologist." The elder got the point. Another elder smiled and replied "as long as you don't light up in the kingdom hall carpark."
On a side note: The blood prohibition is in the bible alongside the fornication prohibition. The Watchtower defines fornication as including digital penetration, yet the governing body allows a gynaecologist to perform such an act on a woman with no repercussions because it is a medical procedure. Well, so is a blood transfusion.

22,000 years of arctic ice cores melt, and wash the YHWH/JESUS concept down the sewer
by fulltimestudent inthe full story, as told in the uk guardian can be found at: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/apr/16/arctic-ice-cores-melt-university-alberta-canada.
and briefly it tells of an equipment failure at a storage facility for ice cores that had been extracted from the polar ice cap in various locations.. but note, that the layers of ice evident in the cores covered a period of 22,000 years.
and from the christian/jw perspective, that's impossible, for the bible story of the flood (verified by jesus and sundry other biblical writers) maintains that 4000+ years ago, the ice caps would have melted during the period when the earth was covered by the divinely caused deluge.

Stephen Lett explaining how one ice layer overlaps another ice layer thereby reducing 22,000 ice layers to fit in with the Watchtower timeline of just over 5,000 ice layers counting from the Flood.

Even if it's not the truth, it's still the best way to live
by Simon inhow many times did you hear that gem?
it often went along with "the truth is a protection" which is their way of saying "living a moral life is good for you ... and you can't do that without us".. but think about what people are really saying.
i think the real message is "i know it's not the truth, but i chose to follow it anyway".. it seems like a pre-emptive argument because they know they can't defend it as "the truth" so instead they switch to defending it as a lifestyle.. of course any kind of lifestyle that has a decent moral ingredient to it, respect for law and order, discipline etc... probably increases people's chances of doing better in life, but they don't have a monopoly on it.. so just remember, next time you hear someone saying "even if it's not the truth" what they are really admitting is that they already know it isn't..

JW: Even if it's not the truth, it's the best way to live.
REPLY: Unless you're one of the tens of thousands of JWs who have lost a loved because of the 'no blood' policy.

Russia is yet to officially recognize the receiving of one single letter.
I guess the GB will have to ask all the JWs to put how many letters they and their children sent to Russia in their monthly field service report. If this happens then all 8 million JWs will say 6 letters each or face questions from the body of elders.
