i'm new to the forum.
i'm an ex-jw who actually faded from jws.
i'm here to drop by every once in a while to ask a question or two.
If he came " to bear witness to the truth" was the co-creator of all, you would think it would be a priority for him to set things straight, leave that kind of a fact- based legacy.
It would have have been a good time to contradict flat-earthers , like satan, and say: I could not possibly see China, India, you know that. ( to have a mental picture, the 2 would not have to climb an usually high mountain", expanding their horizon.
now today this is of course a non-issue.
the wt has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution.
in fact the creator book has some decent info.. however i have a good copy of the 1958 paradise book.
Ask Russell or Rutherford about astrophysics
MF: did they not believe that the Pleiades were the likely seat of heavenly rule?
could you guys believe this über borg 'friend' ?.
he says that babylon has fallen because all of the coronavirus restrictions (and the resultant less revenue) are gonna destroy them symbolically.
so he thinks this are the last, of the last, of the last days.
If I remember right, babylon fell first,(according to wt doctrine then) when the wt directors were release from captivity in Atlanta GA penitentiary.
That wording was later changed to " babylon the great has a fall in 1918.
Sorry wt you were and are wrong Religion as a power is stronger than ever. see Sphia Hagia)

beieve in other galaxies all of the sudden?
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
