What was the purpose of Creation?
by ClassAvenger ini was talking to some jehovah witness in a bible study, and we got into a conversation of heaven.
i told him that we would all be in heaven and live there, and he told me, "what would be the point of god creating the whole earth and putting us here then destroying it?
wouldn't it just be easier to repair the earth and place us here again?

Kids, reading, and TV
by Phantom Stranger inrecently there was a thread (i have searched and searched and failed to locate it) which discussed if jw kids were smarter, better readers, more likely to graduate hs, etc., than the population.
there was a great deal of discussion about reading.
the story below seems to have some bearing on that discussion - my apologies for not including the link.

If God And His Thoughts Are Perfect - How Did Humans & Satan Become Evil?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan inthis question may not make too much sense.
if a man creates a computer, using the best parts and software design with the intent of analyzing data accurately and reliably, would he also design it with the ability or freedom to 'crash' or spread viruses to other computers if it chose to?
if a man trains a dog with the intent of being a family pet, would he also give it the knowledge to kill humans or other animals?
