What Should Have Been Their "Surname" or "Last Name"?

by titch in

ok, folks, so here's my question.

now then, assuming that you believe that there was an actual first man and a first woman, as the bible propounds, that had the name of "adam" and "eve" (as we have called them, in the english language) well, what do you think that their surname or last name would have been, or should have been?

that is, if they had surnames way back then, in the so-called "beginning" of human existence?

Eve Snake

I thought God`s name was Harold as in "Harold be thy name"

Adam Hovah

Eve Nomansbitch

https://www.prri.org/research/2020-census-of-american-religion/.

more than one-third of muslims (39%), white mainline protestants (37%), buddhists (37%), and the religiously unaffiliated (36%) have at least a four-year college degree.

another 19% are catholic, 2% are latter-day saint, and less than 1% each are jehovah’s witnesses or orthodox christians.

Their is always a spike in JW growth / attendance when a natural disaster hits ,or the nations start rattling Sabres against one another .

And once the dust settles and no GT or the big "A" happens their is a few less members than before.

How did you learn the truth about the truth?

by Iamallcool in

any takers?.

smiddy3

Over time I had some doubts about what was claimed and what went on in practice and then the internet came along ,and I started looking at sites about JW`s ,and the rest is history.

I have learnt more about the religion of the WTB&TS / Jehovah`s Witnesses / IBSA , from sites like this one than I ever knew in my 32 years associating with them.

Criminal court case in The Netherlands against shunning - possible jail time for WT leaders

by AndersonsInfo in

https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/q5bgg5/criminal_court_case_in_the_netherlands_against/.

"ex witnesses open attack on traumatizing shunning policy".

this follows on the successful court case in belgium against shunning.. since this is a criminal case, the wt leaders could end up in jail in the netherlands.. multiple articles tomorrow on this topic by renowned dutch newspaper trouw.. https://www.trouw.nl/a-b51d237a.

I wont hold my breath about the outcome for a religious organization to shun members that they consider to have transgressed their rules & regulations .

I think it`s a no go zone for the law to get involved in IMHO .

I would like to be proved wrong though .

Really, it just goes to show you how ineffective their witnessing is if in the birthplace of Jehovah`s witnesses the USA is 1% or less .

All of those years of going D2D with SFA results.

6 i planted the seed,(a) apollos watered it, but god has been making it grow.

Maybe they are just transitioning into a Televangelist religion without actually saying so.

any takers?.

smiddy3

Yes ,one was a real nut case who really knew how to use the bible to his advantage against anyone who was in his sites.

I felt sorry for his children and his wife , who were really screwed up by his controlling influence.

This was in Redcliffe QLD.Australia, Anybody from there will know whom I`m talking about.

His wife got her monthly`s twice a month ( I wonder why ) was forever on deaths door and actually passed Cancer from her body ( on the toilet ?)

Delete account?

by Lostreality in

im in the midst of doing an audit of my online presence, and found that, shockingly, this account is still active.

since there is no way to change the password that i can find, im curious if the account can just be outright deleted?.

thanks.

smiddy3

I fail to see what the problem is ,nobody knows who you are anyway .If you don`t want to be here just walk away.

Then again if your going back to the religion and think Jehovah will hold what you posted against you ?

Don`t worry he doesn`t exist.
