It might have come naturally, unintended, from a past leadership that had such a strong germanic roots-component, Knorr, Henschel , Franz, from the words: England, Ireland, Iceland, Deutschland, Netherland, Saar-- Poland, more primitive, back to the earth/rustic paradise, than the more advanced latin based words.

Why did Satan tempt Eve with a talking snake when he could have materialised as another human to tempt her ?
by smiddy insince the angels that followed satan could take on human form and even have sex and bear offspring to females of earth why would satan not have used this avenue instead of talking through a snake .?
which really makes no common sense ?.
why wouldnt eve question how a snake could talk?

study buddy, welcome to the place where you can let your imagination loose, without dire consequences , like in the kh.
Note that the serpent in the story not only had human-like vocal capabilities, but understood the talk, even could refute the human thoughts expressed. That is magic, a fantasy, not latent capacities of communication that really existed, even in a walled garden .
Around that place, only God appeared to be a carnivore, because it was he who took the carrion Abel offered off his hand and saved it from going to the dump. so, no fear there except for depleting the vegetation by herbivores' unchecked proliferation from the missing predation.
As to the dispersing of the animals after the flood, if you were cooped up for 9 month in a stinking stall with a simpleton that believed that all life had to be killed by water covering Mount Everest, you would be running too.
Enjoy the banter here, stimulating ideas like yours', even if in left field, are always welcome. its fun to make fun of funny stories, like the one based on the one and only talking snake.

"--man wakes up, man tries awakening female, female talks to the elders, male gets disfellowshipped, male and female divorce"
which boils down to the female really bonded to the wt more than the life-giving / life- passing family arrangement. There was a name in the bible for arrangements like that.

Watchtower & Guns
by freemindfade inapparently jehalapeno isn't a 2nd amendment supporter either.... .
july 17 questions from readers.... the way this part is worded screams cult to me, i was quite amused.. how a christian chooses to protect himself, his family, or his possessions is, of course, largely a personal matter, as is his choice of employment.. geee!
thanks watchtower for allowing me to "largely chose my own employment" you are a generous cult lol.

A striking title. certainly some is true, we might not have evidence of ladies fainting in front of elders like for Elvis, or of screaming groupies as for the Beatles., but some behaviour surely could be explained by hormones in action. The modern Sons of Eli must owe their success to more than willing participants. I remember---

Par. 12: wt: " Explain things in such a way that we get the credit" comment: true, particularly, if wt study comments are made in arrogant tone of voice!
.par 14, was thinking of the dumped District Overseers.
par. 16 wt: "god does not withhold his love if mistakes are made, " comment: but will hit the errant leaders with a heavier judgement. Jas. 3:1
