Jehovah's Witnesses Believe in Evolution (of Doctrines that is)
by konceptual99 ini have been having some interesting low level conversaions with people i know about various aspects of jw dogma that touch on the controversial to gauge reactions.. one conversation has been about evolution and that jws do accept evolution to a certain degree since it is the only way to explain the variation in life we see now since the flood supposedly wiped the slate clean 4000 years ago.
this has lead to some interesting blank, slightly confounded faces but i've then gone one step further about the evolution of doctrine.. so for example, i've had conversations about the fact that we (the royal "we" that is) have always had the but truth doctrine has evolved.
i have used the example of how russell believed that jesus was present in 1874 and 1914 would see essentially a rapture before the world ended.

"Sets over the lowliest of men" examples?
by A.proclaimer ini'm looking for some good examples from the bible where men of high positions have been brought down and ones of low have been raised.
it's mentioned in daniel 4: 17, luke 1:52, ezekiel 21:26 and other texts.
jws interpret daniel 4:17 as a reference to jesus to back up the 1914 doctrine, so i'm looking for examples to give an alternate to that..

Starting to believe in "new lite" .......
by Blttex ini'm now fully convinced that the society provide new lite!
well, at least the lite that is defined by miriam webster.
they were right all along, just had the wrong spelling.. lite- 2: diminished or lacking in substance or seriousness <litenews>; specifically : being an innocuous or unthreatening version often used postpositively <it is film noir lite james greenberg> .

Wrong Memorial address
by A.proclaimer inbecause it was the memorial today (yesterday for some of you around the world), i remembered something that happened last year at my now current congregation.
it was around the time of the campaign where the invites were being released.
now keep in mind that this is a congregation that's in a foreign language and the people who speak this language are scattered all over the city so the territory is very large and takes time to cover.

NWT alteration of Genesis 3:6
by Pronger1 inhere is genesis 3:6 from the nasb translation which is in line with other translations.. 6 when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.. here is genesis 3:6 from the new world translation.. 6 consequently, the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was something desirable to the eyes, yes, the tree was pleasing to look at.
so she began taking of its fruit and eating it.+ afterward, she also gave some to her husband when he was with her, and he began eating it.. the nwt leaves out part of eve's desire to eat the fruit.. "desirable to make one wise".. what is the purpose of altering the translation to leave out this important point?.

Death and beliefs
by A.proclaimer inthis is an interesting theory he talks about concerning death.
especially at 4:07 and on where he discusses the "death bias" and how it can influence people's beliefs.
4 basic stories about death:1) finding a "cure" to death 2) resurrection 3) immortal soul 4) legacy.
