the wt has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution.

HTBWC" sobering thoughts: Why do you think that light that arrives from 13. billion years ago, and has been arriving here for ~ 4.5 billion years, affects the ~50 000 years, that wt bible history covers?
Did wt ever believe that the whole universe, or just the bare, wet Earth was 50 millennia old?
hello, here is a new book called state atheism.
free online, but in french only.
have a nice day!
the author, a former jw argues that there should be no influence in politics by any religion. absolute right of freedom of conscious enshrined. perhaps shunning outlawed?
Ps: Try that in countries where "babylon the great"***that according to wt fell in 1918, is somehow still wielding power in many of the world governments.
*** other than wtBtS inc false religions.
do you think there is a group or individuals that have taken the role as slave class and fulfilled the requirement?
think they all failed miserable.
Itonically, The slave class is real!
Yes, It is all the fellow-"publishers" of wt material, that roamed the streets and paths to deliver the stuff containing soon to be redundant wt information aka "good news".
ironically, like in the current BLM compensation debate, in some ways, some of the enslaved workers or offspring were better off than the free.

The whole mess started with Gen. 1:1, because it falsely states that the Earth was created in the beginning.

It is more relevant to follow how science's disciplines bring on new theories, laws, formulas to understand the daily new discoveries, than to
worry about how the bible was created, or the bible story books of the wt BtS. inc.
My take on accelerated expansion? There is a lot of more uncreated energy out there outside the universe (as there was before it) and expanding into that realm, it is no surprise that there is increasingly more energy inside, fuelling the acceleration of expansion.
As we know now: distancing is good for you.
not sure who wrote this list a while back but i think it is worth a repeat....to be added to or subtracted from or modified...whatever.. what's wrong with the watchtower.
"overlapping generations" - this teaching makes no sense.
the word used by jesus is in the singular, not plural form.. .
51? judgement of sheep and goats
a ) not of "other" sheep
b) judgement based on treatment of "the least of my brothers," not the idolized, high living elite, of warwick, the branches, or the local handlers.

Making every JW a teacher when James 3:1 says, "Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment."
40 a) making every ambitious female a teacher too. by handing them a mike tp amplify their voice, now even beaming them on big screens in homes. teaching the wisely silent brothers. silent for the reason they know it's bu;l.
P.S. 1 Cor. 14:26-33 describes this,
Vh: why stop at 33? 34-the end describes the "Lord's commandment on meetings

1. "Overlapping generations"
Vh: generations actually do overlap. what is novel is, that wt has
one generation, of 2 groups of ~ hundert year olds overlapping by ~ 20 years, making the generation 200-40 = 160 years long.
the latest wt celebrates the 100th anniversary of 1920 with an article about what happened that year:.
on march 21, 1920, joseph f. ruther-ford .
spoke on the subject“millions now living will never die.” the bi-ble students left no stone unturned in theirquest to invite interested ones to this event.they rented one of the largest theaters innew york city and distributed some 320,-000 invitations.the public responded beyond all expecta-tions.
and this is their main teaching, the record, on which their selection to be the only F&Discreet S. of 1919 is based.
Even if their appointment were a fact, it would treat the creator of the universe as an imbecile
Blaming God for their appointment, and the R&F's disappointment
fear of being shunned.
do you have any stories?.
There is a part in this week's program that induces fear:
wt is supposed to preach edenic paradise, animal peace, instead they trotted out
Lions killing cubs to introduce a new cleansed set of offspring, a Mongoose vs Cobra mortal combat, and the killer.
Horses trained for battle by exposing them to noises, wearing blinkers. yes, wt scares it's R&F all the time, and they certainly make them wear spiritual blinkers, eye patches, earmuffs.
This stuff was previously confined to the Kingdom Halls, where it belongs, now it is beamed right into the homes, safe havens, where it does not.
