ehum... Strange, -then I wonder why different people get different answers?
different strokes for different folks, God doesn't treat all with the same pat answers at the same time Oh? Great! You mean, God just gives different "pat" answers to different people accordingly to their gullibility?

Different overseers have different expectations, that's for sure. I believe the friends pretty much set the rules though. And they know who will play Simon Says and who won't.

I am guessing that is why there are 30,000+ denominations. A lot of people asked and each got their answer!

Quite a few years ago I read on the old forum, which has been replaced by this one, that an older brother worker and a young brother worker went to the parking area on a convention ground and physically and deliberately broke the radio antennas/ aerials on some cars parked there. That would have been illegal vandalism. By whose authority did they do that? I don't believe that God would have approved of such action. it is possible that some of those cars might have been borrowed from relatives or friends or might have been hired for the purpose of transportation to convention, in which case the borrowers would most likely have had to incur unnecessary cost of replacing the broken parts.I don't know if the story is true, but if so, those workers would have exceeded their authority in my opinion. I remember that story being on the grounds of the convention I attended. Not too long after that the devil started putting the antenna in the windshield. He is tricky that way. Strangely enough, that's about the time the workers started listening to the car radio while driving from one house to the next! BTW, some of the antennae that they popped off on the conv. grounds could not easily be replaced because the wiring was made into the antennae base and all. I know my second car had a radio antennze and they finally talked me into taking it off. Well a brother worker popped it off and stuck it in the back, saying that it could be reattached if I ever wanted to sell the car. Well it couldn't...I ended up paying about a $100 to have a complete new antennae with wiring and all put in......or at least that's what I was told it would cost and that's what they took off the "trade-in" price of the car....

God didn't say anything about narcotics either, but we are meant to get the drift of what is acceptable. Everyone should get the drift but a lot of people have drifted. I wonder though..since the first men on earth were herbivores if it isn't possible that they found some very interesting herbs! There could eatr anything but the tree of knowledge of good and evil.....so if that's the case they likely were able to eat whatever they so harvested without ill effect!

I'm sure in the Garden of Eden, you were not allowed to eat the animals dmg.

Their dentition would indicate otherwise.

Gen. 1 "27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so." There doesn't seem to be any record of man eating flesh until the day of Noah and his ark..... Also in the beginning the only animal to be slain was by God's hand in order to clothe Adam and Eve!

What makes you think they were herbivores? Their dentition would indicate otherwise. But who has the record of "their dentition"? God says very plainly that the grass or herb with seed and the fruit of the trees that have seed were to be their "meat."

Consider the presence of HCl in the stomach. Man has clearly evolved as an omnivore. It would not be the first time that god made a scientific error.

Why would you need to be sure? I sure would want to be sure if I thought I was talking to God and getting answers from God. I would want to make very sure it was God and not myself I was talking to and getting my answers from. I really don't know how much more important that could be actually.
