faders need a secret sign to use at the khall.
the thought came to me after reading replies to datadogs post on stopping singing at the meetings.. i can suggest a few secret signs for faders to use and to look for at the khall, but it would be better that current meeting attenders make suggestions here.
if readers on this site can agree to a secret sign to use at the meetings, just imagine the power that would have at your kingdom hall.
Years ago I was approached at a convention by what I now know to be an apostate.... why did he choose me to converse with ?
Because I wore a wine colored blazer not the standard black, grey or brown suite. He subtlely spoke of negative things about the programne
to feel me out I realized later.
Have you ever noticed that a fast and true witness will jump on the least hint of negative thought ?

what initially seems a silly question to reason over, can actually destroy a whole theology.. here is a question made famous by 'saint' thomas aquinas, believers in a almighty god with unlimited ability, please have a think about this..... the omnipotence paradox:.

Your blunder calling a question a quote is at the end of post 335 in black and white ,yet you still deny it
Don't you think people can read this in plain english and see who is telling the truth ?

If God's power is limited by love, then he is certainly not all powerful or almighty
by default power without love and consideration is ruthless
take away the' so called" limitation of God's love what is left ? .. ruthless love
ruthless defined .. having no compassion or pity, merciless, coldhearted, hard hearted , uncaring
unforgiving, harsh,
How can limiting love be anything but a negative and ruthless love ?
So ruthless power is true power then ? this was a question not a quote
You know what a quote is right ?
You know what by default means right ?
Love enhances God's power as does justice and wisdom
To God call weak or lacking power for exercising these qualities is unbelievable to me

If God's power is limited by love , then he is most certainly is not all powerful or almighty
One of the most disturbing conclusions I have ever read !!!!!!!!!!!!
So ruthless power is true power then ?

Being all powerful in my opinion involves a balancing action with all the cardinal qualities of God.
I see God as "almighty ", rather than simply "all powerful" because I fear that term ignores
God's other balancing qualities Love, justice, wisdom ( note power is listed last )

By Viviane's logic a husband could bind himself to moral faithfulness to his wife but it's not really a bind at all because
he could go out and commit adultery at any time of his choosing. (marriage should be a bond of love that binds however)
Moral law is a binding of the mind and spirit which in turn binds the flesh ( for humans)
Likewise God can bind or restrain his power & spirit for a benefical purpose

Viviane .. If my statement about uncertianty principle is clearly wrong.. simple state where that is
What is it you seen at a mere glance that makes the statement wrong but now is too difficult to explain ?
I do not claim deep scientific skill or knowledge... to infer my statement as false would seem to indicate that you
at least beleive that you have more understanding in this field than me ... what did I miss, what did I state that is untrue ?

VIVian..Please define what your understanding of the uncertianty principle means to you, in simple terms then that I can understand then

Heisenberg came to the conclusion that quantum events cannot be predicted, all freed electrons behave as if they are
being influenced by outside variable or force... uncertainty principal. Therefore even science recognizes an outside force.
Therefore it all comes down to the will of God. There is power and force (influence ) beyond the created universe.
The will or power of God is only limited by his desired final outcome of things.

My question is ..why do men to such lengths in attempt to put would be physical limits on a spiritual being ?
yesterday evening my wife and i were invited to friends house for new year's eve.
we met them when i was a christian and we have kept in touch.
they had a few other friends there as well, including the new church pastor and his wife.
To be fair jgnat it was faith that I called a disease. I am defining faith as making a virtue out of believing things regardless of the evidence.
It was in the context of the way faith in an afterlife is used to justify diminishing the value of human life. ~~ cofty
You see that faith can have different aspects or contexts for understanding yet will not grant the same for the spiritual quality of love.
(Idealistic love, practical love, absolute love, ultimate love )
Both marriage & religion is about accepting articles of belief & common goals .....being in relationship & trusting ... having faith
You could try to separate love and marriage as unrelated also... but what a hollow & unfulfilling existence that usually turns out to be !
Most every common action ever taken by man requires some measure of faith or trust. Faith is not a disease it is a bond that unites.
Faith, trust, patience, love, ..... all these things make for lasting bonds
