To hellrider
16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

If you have a need to hate the WTS then so be it.
But don't hate all JW's, that is just wrong .
You preach that you have found truth, if that were the case then where is your love for all humans?

Are you, by the title of the thread, saying that people here lack faith...in general?
Lacking faith in God and the bible!

jw, a thread for you and I...
by AuldSoul injw,.
i realize it is impossible to expect that no one will post to this thread, and most threads don't survive more than a page or two before becoming sidetracked, but perhaps you and i can discuss whatever is on your mind in an "intelligent" manner in this thread.
maybe we could begin by requesting that this area be fairly undisturbed and at least that any additional posts to this thread outside of our discussion be of a statement nature and not distracting from the point by asking side-questions or hurling ad hominem.. first though, i would like some sense of what you consider to be an intelligent way to discuss issues.. can we agree to try and avoid logical fallacies and argue only points we each feel competent to address independently?

1925 was a sad year for many brothers. Some of them were stumbled; their hopes were dashed. They had hoped to see some of the 'ancient worthies' [men of old like Abraham] resurrected. Instead of its being considered a 'probability,' they read into it that it was a 'certainty,' and some prepared for their own loved ones with expectancy of their resurrection..."
1975 Yearbook pg.146What scriptures comfirm that?

IS THIS REVELATION?
by aniron in3. then there were the rest of the dead - a third group.
(the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.
even here, it appears there are three groups and so just how does the society make 3 into 2?

Now this would appear to be fairly straightforward in its general meaning.

JW, I would just like to say one thing: The Bible never says that you have to be guided by the holy Spirit to distinguish between a false prophet and a true prophet.
You must study the Bible and meditate on it, at the same time asking for God's spirit to direct you. ( Proverbs 15:28 ; Luke 11:9-13 ) "If any one of you is lacking in wisdom," the Bible says, "let him keep on asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching; and it will be given him." ( James 1:5 )

God led me to the JW congregation.
by jw ini rented a house in the late !970's and the contents in the home were given to me.. it happened to be books: ( making my life happy, revelation, children bible stories, listening to the great teacher ) i was enjoying the reading.. -----------------------------------.
a few years later began to notice awake magazines in doctor offices, and other public places and read them and enjoyed them.. ------------------------------------.
late 1980's my 7th son was 2 yrs.

family first" ,,,,, Sorry no. IF you are a "JEHOVAH'S WITNESS" then witnessing for Jehovah comes before family. 8 Certainly if anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith.

I believe some humans will never die at all and other humans will be witness to that in our time.
"Milions now living will never die"
Thats what the Watchtower was preaching in prior to their false prophecy about 1925
Bull crap, that has nothing to do with the watchtower.
25 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; 26 and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. John 11:25

By what right do you decide that people on here lack faith?
Learn the difference between observation and judgement.
