I'm tired where did everybody go?
Homer?
so jesus said in acts 1:8 .... you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you,+ and you will be witnesses+ of me in jerusalem,+ in all ju·deʹa and sa·marʹi·a,+ and to the most distant part* of the earth.. .
witnesses of jesus and not jehovah.
so i was a witness for years.
Did you folks ever realize that Isaiah 43:10-12 applied to Spiritual
Israel only according to Rutherford's Theology
Where does Spiritual Israel go when they die?
Heaven
In 1931 everybody was confessing that designation
So, today, we have 8 million "Jehovah's Witnesses"
Really?
Are they Spiritual Israel?
A little confusing isn't it
The name is defunct except for under 20,000 good folks
Rutherford was a little short sighted I think
(I wonder who of 8 million "Witnesses" have thought about this :) )

PS Don't you SARCASM love religion lol
actions and consequences of lot’s wife vs. actions and consequences of david.
genesis 19 talks about how sodom and gomorrah were destroyed.
david under any law: yes, under the law of moses crime: adultery and murder consequence: nothing but blessings from god.
What I'm getting from David_Jay's last comment is that it has historically
been a serious mistake to take accounts/stories from the Torah literally,
To some degree Catholicism agrees with you
Accounts such as the Noah-sian Deluge are generally treated as allegory
The suggestion was made to treat such stories much as one might with
Aesop's Fables,
I am in agreement

i think if we are to fully delight in life we must live without detachment.
because when we become attached to a beliief we feel a desire that we are right.
the problem with being right, even if we are right is that our beliefs then try to attach themselfs to virgin snow, and change people to our thinking.

I believe you're saying that theological process is of secondary
importance
It's positive results that count,
To paraphrase John "If I say I love God but am hating my brother I am a
lier"
Or in other words maybe "If you can't put up shut up!" Lol
Cheers,

Hi Yesu
Regarding whether these men died from a divine act
As I recall from memory
(I could be making mistakes here)
David was given the choice of three punishments
And he chose the scourge because that way the deaths would
be from Yahweh
His thinking was somehow there might be less of a toll
Again I would encourage you to read over the chapter to get the correct
story
But indeed it was Yahweh (Jehovah ) that killed these men
for the sin of David
These men were innocent
Best Regards

PS May I suggest looking into why Yahweh personally slaughtered
70,000 innocent men after David disobeyed him by taking a census

Your question of course can only be answered by someone who believes
in a God of justice
But primarily by someone who believes that the Bible is more than a
collection of fiction
I suggest that if you start to collect a number of these incongruities
You might want to revisit your position on points one and two
In the meantime, much success in your theological journey
The search for El Shaddai :)

i cannot think of a single doctrine that is so clearly laid out in the bible that every christian sect teaches the same point.
are there any doctrine where there is total consensus amongst all christian religions, including jehovah's witnesses?.
Regarding neutral gender I have developed the following:
People are "neutroids"
Instead of he and she for instance we have "ne"
"nim" instead of her or him
Etcetera
There is a petition in the lobby as you exit
Thank-you

to show respects for the older bro who died.. first thing i noticed.
the noise!..
jw never learn to sit and do so quietly.
No one cries
My mom was jacked up on pharmaceuticals at Dad' funeral so she
wouldn't cry
They generally believe that crying shows a lack of faith
:(
