MOST people that "snipe" at J.W.'s don't know much about J.W.'s.
That said I thought J.W. dogma was that man has been on Earth about 6,000 years.
If so that is sooooooooooooooooooo not correct.
Being an archer and a bit of a history geek the bow has been around at least 12,000 years,
From Wiki:
The bow seems to have been invented near the transition from the
Upper Paleolithic to the
Mesolithic, roughly 10,000 years ago.
Spears or
darts are much older; it has been suggested that some early points from Africa might have been arrowheads and that use of bows and arrows may date back as far as 71,000 years before present.
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????
That kind of shoots big holes in the 6,000 years of man kinds existence theory don't it?
Education beyond what is required by law is deeply frowned upon the the Governing Body of J.W.'s.
Even trade school for the love'a Pete.
Being an on the job apprentice is o.k. I think.
Kind of makes one wonder the qualifications of those that translated the New World translation of the Bible.
"What? The Bible does not fit our dogma? Well write a new one!"
Did I mention I was very deeply associated with a J.W. congregation?
I LOVED the people.
Then I became a police officer and was SHUNNED!
Really?
I was dating a baptized J.W. woman whom I loved deeply and she was tossed out of the Hall for
associating with me?
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
The woman's father was an elder and knowing I was alcoholic he fed me wine at bible studies.
While HE was having illicit sex with a married J.W. woman!
The both got found out and booted.
My MOTHER was a baptized J.W. and booted for smoking! She rarely smoked but someone saw some
in her purse and ratted her out.
Why not take her aside and help her?
She died and J.W. would not speak over her at the calling hours.
WOW!
My cousin and wife are J.W.'s and I LOVE 'em.
They actually speak to me and even have dinner with me.
I hope the G.B. don't catch 'em!
There were two Kingdom Halls in our city.
The one for well off whites and the one for less well off whites and blacks.
Hum????
Geographic not demographic I hope.
Well even J.W.'s are simply human ain't they?
Still J.W.'s just might well have Scripture nailed down spot on.
