so my brother recently became df.
he has full intentions of being reinstated, but it is going to take at least a year.
if the end times occurs while he is df, will he still be allowed in the kingdom of god?.
Romans 10:13 "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." NIV
Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” NLT
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. KJV
hint, the Lord is Jesus. (not what the perverted jw doctrine says inserting jehovah where it doesn't belong)
'Everyone' and 'whosever' doesn't seem to imply anyone is left out does it?

my brother (who is a witness) has been married for 8 years.
he and his wife (also a witness) got married young, but he never really tried in the marriage, but she also lost his trust early on.
he says that it was his fault though because he pushed her away.. anyways, he met this new girl (not a witness) and told his wife that he wanted to separate.
What do I know? I am not a jw but all the stories over the years it seems to me to go this way- guy commits adultery, gets df'd, sits in the back of the kh with his new honey for a year, gets reinstated and all is good again. Unless, the guy is not liked or has no standing in the kh, then he will remain a leper for years and his new honey will also be a leper and they will have no real friends in the kh. That's how I see it happening over the years.
If they both know how to turn on the crocodile tears that would be really helpful for them in the long run.
i don't think that it is too early to wish everyone a merry christmas and invite you all to join with me in sending festive greetings to everyone .

vs. bible:.
What?! did they just overlook 10:9 and forget to pervert it?
For those who may have forgotten or choose not to look up every other Bible translation on the planet, 10:13 reads-
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
interesting report in a oxford university blog - the world is becoming less religious, (hurray!!!).
quote: "an analysis of religious trends from 1981 to 2007 in 49 countries containing 60% of the world’s population did not find a global resurgence of religion—most high-income countries were becoming less religious—however, it did show that in 33 of the 49 countries studied, people had become more religious (norris and inglehart, 2011).
but since 2007, things have changed with surprising speed.
I hear a lot of people say they are not religious but they are spiritual and have strong belief in God & Jesus. They do not adhere to man made religions anymore. I think it was C. S. Lewis who said something to the effect that just because you stand in a garage it does not make you an automobile, sitting in a church week after week does not make one a Christian either.
announcement.
december 3, 2020. for congregations.
1. covid-19 vaccine information: several covid-19 vaccines may soon be approved and.
I have not seen any reports from the wt about using aborted fetal cells in vaccines, do they have a stand on this? just a few quick google links in case you were unaware of it-

( I also do not understand how they can use bovine or other animal blood/cell products considering their view on blood transfusions, but I suppose that should be a separate thread....)
my pimi wife nagged me about the shirt and tie so i will put the ring around the collar on.
about 10 minutes in she is will fall asleep and turn the picture off anyway.
🤨 do not bring up cold skirts, versus pant suits either.
Do you mean for a zoom meeting? Hey, your the one with that extra appendage! isn't she supposed to be listening to and obeying YOU? If I had one of those and all the special power that came with one of them in dubland I would take full advantage as a ubm. just saying.
Did she forget YOU are her head in your home? tsk, tsk, is she running ahead of the org?
you are what she wanted to be!please, let us remove any blame to anyone right up front.
what happened to petra was not the fault of mark o'donnell, listener, corney, mike and kim, or anyone else.. constant rejection and shunning even at an early age, the depression was storing up inside of her.
she was shunned inside the hall and outside the hall.
Sending much love to Atlantis and Petra! Hope Grandpa doesn't worry too much and am so happy Petra is able to be in such a beautiful positive environment! Health and love to you both.
ps- much thanks for all the work with documents!
as a jw, have you ever tell an elder, pioneer, or other jw to go pissoff!.
As a ubm I told a ms and an elder (separate occasions) to f-off, go to heck, and probably a few other things. Yep, sounded like a sailor (or satan I suppose) and I don't even swear that much in normal life. The crap was hitting the fan with my jw just joining up and I was a bit out of sorts. Odd thing is the elder I swore at seems to have gone missing, my jw in a rare short discussion (we no longer talk about anything jw related) said the guy isn't around anymore. I asked where he went and my jw said nobody seems to know. Maybe he is on this board now?
hey all!just to start i want to let you know the reason i'm here is for a school project.the project is very simple.
