Actually, she did not pretend anything. She knew where the quote came from. That's why she pressed her buzzer. She temporarily struggled for the name of the book itself. Watch it again.
Maybe, Maybe not. I qualified my comment by saying “if” she planned it. I remember all those bogus tv evangelist and their later exposed fraud, crying and everything so it is possible. Don’t confuse judging a person’s motive with with interpreting a video show.

Do you think the young lady in the video and those evaluating her perhaps love Jehovah and His Son as much or even more than you?
No, she faked pretending first she didn’t know the verse then all of a sudden she quotes it. Seems rehearsed. Sadly, that puts into question the spontaneous feeling of her tears if this was planned. I get emotional too when reading certain verses that apply to me.
If we use ancient Israel and the early Christian church as a rule, conduct by fellow believers and of those in positions of authority don’t invalidate the authenticity of the Church.
It discredits the apostate who was not convinced but dove in head first into JW. Because how can you become unconvinced after witnessing empirically the evidence of God’s Holy Spirit? Obviously, God wasn’t in the equation and that is why someone leaves and then says it ain’t true is the reason. How can someone claim they took a measurement and then say later on they never struck the rock?
The relationship is with God and that is very personal and real —what others do don’t change that.
for newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?
he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.
the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.
What do you mean?
I asked what authenticates Vat 4956.

In any legal proceeding, a proper foundation needs be be laid first so what authenticates Vat 4956?
here’s a couple good ones: a. jesus said, “come to me and i will give you rest”.. why did jesus command us to go to him and not jehovah?.
why does the bible say that the name of jesus is above every name?
.
Any others?
Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all
26 And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing. 27 For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone

Van:
“Then David praised Jehovah before the eyes of all the congregation. David said: “May you be praised, O Jehovah the God of Israel our father, throughout all eternity. 11 Yours, O Jehovah, are the greatness and the mightiness and the beauty and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Jehovah. You are the One exalting yourself as head over all. 12 The riches and the glory are from you, and you rule over everything, and in your hand there are power and mightiness, and your hand is able to make great and to give strength to all. 13 And now, O our God, we thank you and praise your beautiful name.” 1Ch 29:10-13
new jun 23 wt....elders to follow gideon example, even if instructions doesn't seems practical, gideon reduced army by 99 % and he obeyed, it could be changes in theocratic direction similar to this.
what that means?.
elders will need the courage to follow instructions "may relate to delivering a symbolic hailstone message...".. in another section "major world events may raise some from spiritual slumber".
“This good news of the kingdom will be preached.” (To be followed by bad news.)
