imagine the case where a student disagrees with his teacher's method, and believes that he knows a better way.
the teacher realizes that if he kicks the student out of the classroom, the other students may begin to wonder if the teacher was hiding something.
to settle the matter once and for all, the teacher gives the student a chance to prove himself.. wisely, the teacher takes a moment to lay down the parameters for the challenge.
wt used the teacher/ student challenge as an illustration in the blue " everlasting life " book.
It must have been done to prevent any thinking human to become a witness. because:
students have always as a whole, triumphed over their teacher's teachings.
otherwise, we would be still swinging in trees.
amazing insights into wts doctrine and practice from a former bethelite who worked with ray franz on the aid book.. https://youtu.be/mz6mjycc7ag.
R.K. If the bible would be meaningful, these people you mention would be of the tribe of Joseph. in Rev 7. whistleblowers, hated and condemned by the ruling majority, who hopefully will eat out of their hand one day, as good puppies should.
Talked to Br. Dunlap in OK twice, was not invited to get close enough to seriously talk.
i can remember when i joined the chess class in middle school.

Chess is beyond the mental capacity of most. rdn:
but not all. there is a case of one who was not satisfied with the mental torture of the board game, so he invented 3 Dimensional chess. mate.
here’s a link to a really cool letter that no witness can dispute.. jw letter.
On the appointment in 1919 of the wt writers as the faithful slave by the king of 1914, answering his own question of Math 24, I would add,:
he based his decision on the wt teaching at the time:
"---millions now living will never die". and
his approval is continuing, because that traching has not changed is still basically valid today.
where does the idea that the creative days of the genesis account were 7,000 years long come from?.
genesis doesn't suggest that they were specific time periods, but shows that one "day" extended into others.
i feel that the clue is in the words; "and there was an evening and there was a morning, a first day.
some wt writers seem still secretly to hang on to the "rest day" ides, in that they want to help the deity to finish the mess by the time the last day ends. Not to drag it into the 8st day.
They always misquote scripture to saying the final test, execution of judgement happens at the end and not "after the 1000 years are ended"
The whole thing is a fairy tale. The Earth was not created at the beginning .
Ladies are the final masterpiece though.
the scripture said you must worship with spirit and truth.
the publications you read which are called spritual food from jehovah, are written by those who are supposed to be the closest to god and are anointed.
they claimed for decades to you that it was the creator's promise that those living during 1914 would live to see the fullfilment of the promise of a new earth.
So they do not follow 1st Century Christianity as they claim.
s3: and like in last week's wt " study ", they speak of observing Jesus' commands, and the he disappears and it becomes the other J. and
truly they only "observe", watch from distance, especially when the bread and wine is passed.

JT, welcome. while The GB was still spirit directed***, they explained it all by making the last generation, into 2 overlapping groups (like the Elijah/ Elisha deal).
Part of those 2 groups will be still alive in 2075.
*** they have stopped claiming that in the baptism "oath" that jws swear.
or why did they kill abel?
with mother eve still telling her talking snake story?
they killed abel, because he killed the invention of religion, at least before the "new light" rainbow regime.
t did flourish.
SB: this thread was intended to be bible based humour and I did not read anything in Moses 1-9 about religion before the flood, Gobekli tepe notwithstanding.
Note the irony that in the scriptures, religion is a rainbow affair. (every one sees a different rainbow). ephemeral with supposed pot of gold as real estate base.
jah wanted BLOOD sacrafices
P: he did not tell them to do any sacrifices, it was their idea. the bloody mess came later, on second thought. They were all vegetarians, why keep flocks? to knit socks?
