'shall be perfect' sounds past tense . as in when you go to heaven. its impossible for human to be perfect, we cant do the impossible. which is why we were supposed to be forgiven always. ancient Hebrew is so difficult to translate when already mistranslated. although he was only speaking to few disciples, not the crowd of people as he went away from them. and again, only for those under the law. he says in matthew he did not come to end the law but to fulfill it. not one letter was to be changed.

which ones? just these ones! and no partaking mentioned.hmm
by sowhatnow inhere in matthew chapter 19 jesus tells a man the commandments he has to do to gain life... which apparently did not include partaking of his flesh and blood.
so this means that this man could have everlasting life and not partake of the emblems.
they knew not of them.

apparently Jehovah hasn't blessed them enough, that they are begging for more funds, why the proclaimed shortfall?
is the faithful slave squandering 'Jehovahs' money so they are running out? how are they wise if they need more?
surely operating a costly tv channel couldn't possibly have been a necessity,
surely expecting all congregations t o buy large screen tvs so people can sit in a room and hear the same crap that has been coming off the platform for decades, was a wise use of money.
are they soon to become a sort of prodigal son? take the inheritance go out and blow it on real estate investments that may fail, and then come crawling back to 'Christendom'

is it more likely to be the men or women who leave first?
by sowhatnow ini was just pondering the other day, is it more likely that a man will leave a religion, or a woman?
is there a way to know if the men on the site outnumber the women or vice versa as to who found out ttat first and left.. im going to suggest men.
basically because men in general, do not like to be told what to do.

Anti-JW billboard going up in Texas
by sunny23 inthe first ever billboard has been crowd funded on reddit and will be going up.
i'm curious to know if it will cause a spark in any jw's who already have questions or doubts and lead them to research into the child abuse cases and lead them to the thought that the wt and gb are not inspired or gods mouthpiece.
at the very least it will provide people a topic of conversation and questions to the jw's who knock on their door: "so whats this whole sex abuse in kingdom halls thing about i saw on the billboard down the road?

SPENDING JEHOVAHS MONEY
the discrete slave. lol
Gee God needs money? millions of dollars each month? [hey, we want to see where it goes]
for what? lawsuits? gee think how much MONEY can be saved if there was no assembly halls no headquarters, no printing facilities, no roving circuit overseers, maintaining all of it,and no lawsuits due to misapplied rules from and ancient sun God.
surely God has shown disapproval at such an organization. they truly are like the rest. not at all humble and discrete.

i love his exaggerated gestures, so comical, makes me want to puke. he should be a cartoon with those creepy facial expressions too.
oh and everything is historic, lol. i always hated that music.
ok so they are back to criticizing employment.
the governing body mentioned before a scripture prov 3 9. now trying to explain their interpretation of first fruits valuable things. all the produce, uh, produce, dude ,lol nothing more, OMG it was ONLY FOR ISRAELITE'S!!!!
exodus 23 19 'best of the first ripe fruits of the ground', again food!!!
now is this a type or anti type ? or turning it into an allegory make up stuff much.
how is honor [rev 4 11] related to valuable things? lol, a huge twist of scripture using greek root words.
yes at time 4 58[?] to 6.00 is where he says 'finances].
where in he bible does it say we need to sacrifice our time and money and family and jobs, for Gods favor?
no where! 70 hours per month? for a pioneer? they have no life and no knowlege. they must be low on hours too
again the law to Moses is mentioned. were NOT under that LAW! we do not HAVE to do these things.
oh and at 8 minuets do you have 'construction skills', so they can build kingdom halls, lol wow jehov is 'magnified' by these skills and energy. oh really. [so all others are dead weight poo poo].
9.00 back to financial support he claims "for over 130 years this organization has never solicited for funds,
and it certainly isn't going to start now", lmao..... he says...
we dont send out monthly statements to each of jw, specifying a dollar amount that should be submitted to finance the work worldwide. ... then he goes on with 'we dont know who gives what'. any donations are not misappropriated he uses matt 24 45 -47 'the governing body the faithful slave and the discrete slave wisely managing'
...oh I cant finish! lol start at 8 if you want to hear the money talk...

why did man go from living 900 years to 90?
by sowhatnow ini cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.
so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.
how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.

if the rate of aging was increased from 900 to 80 or 90 when the bible books were still being written, then by now we all should be extinct. lol.
but as history shows, many ancient societies, lived very short lives, due to disease death from pregnancy and giving birth, being hunted by animals, and hardships finding food, and shelter.
most age expectancy to 35 to 50 at the highest. now we are living longer again.
please , gods_ kingdom, where does the bible tell us when the 100 yr reign begins, and ends,
and where does it say that only resurrected ones will be in it? does the bible say people live 'through' the great war of God the almighty? people always will live through tribulation. [ since Armageddon is not an event, it is a place, so thats like saying were going to live through canada, lol.]
what I understand is that only [ the apostles] 12 will rule with him to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
Matthew 19
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man is seated on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
revelation 20 vs says those who were given the authority to judge....[ there is no number of thrones mentioned here yet the 12 thrones are assumed, since it is stated that those who sit on them are judges].
4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They[a] had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand yearssee from what i understand, the bible tells us that Jesus was only a savior and mediator for the Israelites. jesus said go continually to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. not anyone else. [no where does the bible tell us that jesus ended the law code]. we are not then followers of the mosaic law. so we are not under it.
Thank the Lord, lol
