Sadly the WT failed to teach fundamental biblical doctrines. I did never really understand the doctrine about ransom while I was still in the congregation.
I did not either understand what it really means that "God is love" as stated in the Bible.
I did not either understand from the WT what is love. I remember a study article that explained the greek word agape that is love. The WT explanations seemed to make it to be not a feeling, but a principle based goodness. Like love without feeling if that is possible?
So if you would like to get additional clairity to these important questions, I invite you to check my website www.comejesus.net were I have some simple explanations and I will be adding more.

Question #1 for JW's to offer an explanation
by BoogerMan inthe r&f jw's are defined by the wtbts as antitypical "foreigners," and as such, are not participants of the new covenant:.
wt 98 2/1 p.19, par.
6 - "further, other sheep lay hold of the new covenant just as foreigners of old laid hold of the law covenant.

waton, yes what you wrote is in deed easy to see, that the covenant about the kingdom is not the same as the new covenant.
In Luke 22:20 Jesus tells about the new covenant and the memorial emblem, the wine symbolizing his blood.
But later that evening after some disputing about who is the greatest among the disciples Jesus spoke to his disciples about a covenant about a kingdom they would join because they had faithfully remained with him all that time. Verse 29.
Yes I agree that the new covenant is about complete forgivness of sins thanks to Jesus' sacrificial death. He sacrificed his blood and flesh and died instead of us. So now we need not to be punished for our sins. It is enough if we repent and believe in Jesus' sacrificial death.

The most powerful had their meeting in Davos this week. It is organized by WEF. (World Economic Forum)
They spoke about handeling future pandemics, what to do about the war in Ukraine and cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and XRP was represented by the company Ripple.
WEF seems to like the crypto currency XRP, but not Bitcoin.
Who is more powerful, the US or the WEF with its head Klaus Schwab?
Henry Kissinger was also there at Davos and he told the others that its time to do concessions to Russia to get an end to this war in Ukraine. Basically let Russia take some more parts of Ukraine.
Now when it looks like WEF is even more powerful than the US, could WEF be the sevenheaded beast in Revelation 13?

Mark 10:28 Peter began to say to him: “Look! We have left all things and followed you.” 29 Jesus said: “Truly I say to you, no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news 30 who will not get 100 times more now in this period of time—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the coming system of things, everlasting life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
I am still waiting this to happen, since I was disfellowshipped about 14 years ago for believing in Jesus and witnessing about the real truth instead of accepting teachings of men.
Surely Jesus' promise should one day become reality.

Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?
by minimus inthey have predicted this for years.
religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.
the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

The man of lawlessness mentioned in 2Thess2:8 is said to be destroyed by Jesus himself.
"Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence"
As evident, here is no indication that "the lawless one" would be destroyed by UN.
And in addition the "lawless one" is not what the WT org teaches it to be. They teach that it is the clergy.

Well, simply JWs have misinterpreted what Babylon the Great is. That is the problem. Babylon the Great is simply not a symbol of all the false religions of the world.

Is it okey to express your love for Jesus currently as a Jehovah's witness?
by Kosonen inis it okey to express your love for jesus as a jehovah's witness?.
it should be, even though it would lift some eyebrows in the congregation.
let's see what jesus said:.

Sea Breeze, yes you are right. And the scripture you quoted show it well.
I wonder when the JWs will realize that one day they have to praise also Jesus for their salvation if they truely will be part of "the great crowd"? How ironic that "the great crowd" in Revelation 7:10 is said to praise not only God but also Jesus for their salvation. "And they keep shouting with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

Sea Breeze, truth_b_known and wokeup, thanks for your comments. I agree with you that some things should be corrected in the understanding of the truth within the JWs.
Let's pray that it happens!

It should be, even though it would lift some eyebrows in the congregation. Let's see what Jesus said:
"In turn, whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly show myself to him.” (John 14:21)
Or the following statements of apostle Peter:
"in order that the tested quality of your faith,...., may be found a cause for praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you never saw him, you love him. Though you do not see him now, yet you exercise faith in him and are greatly rejoicing with an indescribable and glorious joy, 9 as you attain the goal of your faith, your salvation." (1Peter 1:7-9)
The problem with the WT organization in this respect, I experienced, that the love for Jesus is not taught adequately at the meetings.
Commonly at the meetings it is said that all Jesus did and said was for God's glory.
True in some way. But I got the impression from the WT organization that we should restrict our feelings for Jesus. Because otherwise it would compete with our love for Jehovah God.
But that would be the same as to say that we should not grow in our love for each other, because that would compete with our love for Jehovah.
How then to arrange our love for Jehovah God and Jesus and our fellows and even our enemies so that our love would be properly tuned?
I think this is only possible by prayer and by the help of God's power, the holy spirit.
As a conclusion let's remember Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
