Why would Jehovah give Satan rulership of the World.?
by smiddy inromans 13 : 1-7 "let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities" etc,"the existing authourities stand placed in their relative positions by god" 2".therefore he who opposers the authourity has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ,those who have taken a stand against it will recieve judgement to themselves "etc,etc,.."..to him who calls for honour such honour.".
isnt this plainly stating that christians should be supporting and playing along with the governments of this sytem of things ?
that it is in fact an arrangement of god ?

Isnt this plainly stating that Christians should be supporting and playing along with the governments of this sytem of things ? That it is in fact an arrangement of God ? Vs 1 , 2.
On the other hand we have the scriptures that state the God of this system of things is Satan the Devil ,2 Cor.4:4
1 Joh.5:19
So on the one hand Jehovah God / Christ Jesus are telling us that the ruler of the world is Satan the Devil and then on the other hand we are to be obedient to Satans system of things approved by Jehovah .?

Matt .24:12 "and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off."
That will be their spin ,to convince the R&F that we are in the last days. So don`t give up .
In the Bible their is a scripture for every occassion no matter what religious denomination you attend or believe in .Their is a lot of truth in the statement that the Bible is an instrument that you can play any tune on.

Obviously parents today need to be more vigilant about where their children are who they are with and not put your trust in any individual or organisation that you once thought was a safe place for your child.
Thats scary jaydee

help me think like an elder
by Homer notsimpson inok guys, i have been tasked to ask for your opinions regarding this case.. and be honest.
my brother sexted a girl a little over a year ago, they never dated, and she got mad at him.... she got engaged and the engagement ended in august.. she attempted suicide, then talked to the elders an told him she was gonna tell on him too, now that was in august, the sister told my brother that since she didn't know his hall they couldn't do anything.. we found that doesn't seem right, so hes been freaking out, but ita now two days away from 2017 and the elders haven't speaked to him yet.. why could that be?
could they give him all this time to confess?

Your right Giordano Nobel was the one I was thinking of.The Israeli one called prisoner was excellent too.
Dicte is about a female cop who was brought up as a JW and has flashbacks to her being shunned by family and "friends"

I was looking at the videos to see who I knew on this quick build .I knew a few in the building game ,builders plasterers ,Painters ,and Tilers ,all brothers all self empolyed
And they were all from one area in S.E.Qld Aust.
I knew of garth Irwin as he gave talks in our Cong. as did his bother Dale Irwin ,both have passed away now.
I personally knew Eric Walker interviewed in the 3rd video as he was in the same congrgation as me and my son was friends with his son.
Eric and his wife suffered a tragic accident with their young baby daughter that no couple should have to endure.
Eric was often critical of the organization to me anyway ,for not doing enough to encourage the youth / teenagers in the congregation ,to keep them from the temptations to leave.
The grainy production made it hard to identify anybody else in the video positively.
I guess this thread would only interest Australians ,if at all .

"New Light" and the Watchtower's quasi legal disclaimer
by jwleaks infound this interesting quasi legal religious statement at the bottom of this 》》》 jw.org page advertising "bible-based books and magazines":.
some updates made to digital publications may not yet appear in the printed edition.. glad to know that jehovah and the governing body have seen fit to inform the entire world that certain doctrinal teachings of "truth" may differ between digital and print edition of the watchtower magazine and bible-based books.
doesn't say much for the credibility of the guardians of doctrine.. confusingly, some of the doctrinal teachings, particularly in the online versions of bible-based books and magazines from the watchtower, have already undergone updates but these updates only appear in the new digital version of the new printed edition.. good thing we have a digital-only version of the "research guide for jehovah's witnesses" which is updated every year to contain all the references to the new teachings and interpretations of the bible.

I think the big deal is that the GB/F&DS/Writing Dept. claim they are being led by Jehovahs Spirit
So why is their a need to update /refine ( or heaven forbid contradict ) any information at all ?
Either Jehovah God or Christ Jesus know what they are talking about or they do not ,its a no brainer.
