here is a fascinating subject.
according to the bible , one of adam's first assignments was to name all the animals including the sea creatures and dinosaurs of course.
we don't know how long this took but, as all witnesses know, the time period is crucial in working out the timing of armageddon).
The name calling of all the animals took time, the same time that the coming end is off the 1975/2075 wt predictions. and yes, Adam listened to the animals, but it took Eve to have a conversation. so:
what caused the snakes to lose the ability to talk human? the flood, it was astounding, it left them speechless. Only asses (donkeys) were unimpressed.

His task was greatly simplified by the fact that even up to Jesus's 'all kingdoms of the earth' temptation, the earth was a flat disk, animals could be observed at great distances.
i wanted to discuss the (supposed) biblical events that disturbed me a lot when i was a jw.
these incidents were just read and discussed in the kingdom hall as if these are normal and justified, which clearly weren't.
perhaps this led to my awakening.
So, why are David, Lot and co. the favoured characters of WT writers ?, because it indoctrinates the flock to accepts as normal the darker sides of their current & past leadership and their legacy.
do the scripture writers at hq allow for any scriptural exegesis that recognizes the state of israel as fulfillment of ancient prophecy?
isaiah, for example, writes: .
and it shall come to pass in that day, that the lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from assyria, and from egypt, and from pathros, and from cush, and from elam, and from shinar, and from hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
deegee: right, like the prediction tables of eclipses centuries in retrospect (fulfilled totalities) and into the future: Eastern North America, 2024, here we come.

Cold Steel, why would the ancient books be proven to be true by 'prophecy' that can be understood in so many ways, when the same scrolls, volumes, are full of scientific inaccuracies from the outset?
this is the most weird story.
if you read half way down you will see the protagonists are jdubs.

the naked truth.
BMW in Alberta? used, oil money.
granted, i'm a pimo status, so i normally just play on my cell phone and ignore everything during meetings and assemblies.
but at the assembly this past weekend, my ears were pricked for two experiences of two sisters dedicating themselves to pioneering.
this was probably because i was extremely freaked out by both of them.

yes, Cofty, for wt at one time it was an early version of the overlapping anointed, The older remnant and the newer remnant around a dubious date witnessing together, being persecuted together.
Cold Steel, you are preaching here to a bunch that has only smiles for any application of scripture. I am amazed your are treated with respect.
the feeling of being disconnected from my family for so long makes me feel old.
i think it's because the people i saw all the time when i was younger i don't see to often and you really notice that change in little bits but over time it really shows.
the last time alot of witness friends i was 16, then i show up at a family event and i'm 28. that's life and i do get it but it really makes me feel old..
with me it is the opposite, I have met people again, who, when I knew them first, were toddlers,but now are grandparents, and I say. hey, "how come they have aged and I havn't?" -- until I try to walk without a walker., or look into a mirror.
omg my head exploded!in this months broadcast - splian goes off on how much care the wt in making sure its facts are correct, and how they make sure their quotes are not taking from people who have a bad reputation or have an agenda.
and that the make sure its always in context!.
they are such liars!.
"... never deliberately distort..."
true, the world view of jw writers is so distorted, it comes naturally to them. No delibertation is required.
