indefinite, sadly not for everyone of us. "time" is probably fundamental. an eternal dimension.

The bizarreness of Genesis 6:2
by doubtfull1799 in"the sons of the true god began to notice that the daughters of men were beautiful.
so they began taking as wives all whom they chose.".
it may be feasible to some to accept the bible's assertion that the first humans were tempted to pursue independence from god, especially since they were created in his image and he is independent from any authority.

teacher, handed over his piece of chalk to the rebel in the classroom (Satan)
Wake: good you reminded us of that truly miserable analogy in the :...really teach" book- never thought that the possibility of capriciously caused death hung over the young students. Geniuses always exceed their teachers! An abusive teacher would be retired.
Dw: phew. Bible equivalence of male "God" not good. take the case for the female creator: The universe started at a point in time, caused by an eternal (clearly more expansive) creator/trice. Universe still expanding, but still "inside" that larger, entity.
Male sex too, if you have a heavenly choice, is a big bang, men are willing to pay big bucks for the bang. Angels willing to quit heavens for it? sure!

males only? These "angels" probably observed the almost guaranteed extreme rush of male orgasm, and the 9 month+ total female experience, and opted for the former, sex is heavenly! Temptation could have arisen early, "god" provided fig leafs right away.
Some creative power must have been yielded to the opposing forces in the "universal sovereignty" fight, to even the playing field, result: malaria, and all maladies, parasites, only fiends could have thought of that.
so: vivre la difference iation by the angels. Ladies still agree, making themselves as beautiful as modern science allows.
If snakes can talk, angels can walk, not just fly.
added: from last week's wt study: Sodom & Gomorrah, those were "materialized " angels that were threatened with gang rape, so, according to the book, that embodiment is not just a demonic aberration! "theocratic" even, and attractive males too, coming and going ha ha.

AUSTRALIA: Christian lobby group seeks to discriminate against the mentally ill
by jwleaks inabc news (australia).
13 june 2017. a national christian group is lobbying for the disability discrimination act to be changed so that it can discriminate against people with mental illnesses, on the basis they could upset the "sacred" nature of church services.. familyvoice has called for a religious exemption to the act, arguing it interferes with freedom of religion.. in a submission to a federal parliamentary inquiry on freedom of belief, familyvoice said a person with a mental illness had the potential to interfere with a church service.. "for very good reasons a religion may not wish to engage a person who has a mental illness and displays disturbed behaviour," the submission read.. "a simple provision should be added for an exemption from the act for persons ... whose conscientious beliefs do not allow them to comply" .

The Rank Hypocrisy of JW Rank and File
by steve2 inwtf?
russian jw mr novik is shown in full view on jw org wearing the "parental glory" badge with its prominent cross pattee on his lapel - and not one word of caution is sounded.
similarly, jw forums are abuzz singing the praises of mr and mrs novik and their brood after they received the parental glory honor from no less than jw-oppressor, mr putin.. from the stinking gb heaven all the way down to the dusty rank and file, the hypocrisy is sky-high.

the Watch Tower renovated the building all these items were left unchanged. CC:
Local historic preservation laws may have prevented removing these old decorations' I always felt a kind of detachment, as a guest in a museum, in theses premises.

That would even be true of the pioneers, that were an "avant garde" up to the point of no return. Waton :
To those that thought the comment merited a "-". I apologize if you thought I wanted to besmirch all full time servants of that fast receding past. to the contrary there were many truly stalwart examples, that maintained an impeccable lifestyle. but then
of course you heard of stories like the ex Bethelite whose name rhymed with "blew-it" (because he did) . He is supposed to have had his car doors rigged, so that any females, once enticed into his back seat, could not open it from the inside? and that was not a green Cadillac bsw.

Was this kind of a lottery, where only the chosen few got the monetary reward? or an across (here is that word again) the board benefit for all fertile families? The Nazis gave to all over four families the Pour le Merit. (and now the later german government a thank you pension).

too would really like an interpretation of the fathers speech in context. Very bizarre. dsp:
at least he would have wt "ministry school" training to get the point across not as a novice, (his family name notwithstanding) ha ha. The a-"cross" unintended pun too. May be he wanted to get the whole thing off his chest?

is the medal given to the man? reward for sticking around and not bolting, and let the state looking after it's future?
JWs have a rich ancient history of having 12 and more offspring (not counting daughters of course). ancient patterns resumed? may be like 1975, wt will see a wave mounting and jump on the big family bandwagon? beats the h2h results, and big financial benefits.
