if after you die you find yourself in front a god ready to judge you.
what will you say in your defense for not believing?
.
able- so what is Jesus saying
In order to measure the overwhelming amount evidence it is a good idea to already know what he said.
But yes, I do find people disputing evidence without even knowing.
or
Manufacturing just one objection to an evidence and thereby giving themselves permission to ignore the rest.
It is really interesting examining what people say on this forum.
Then measuring that against the question raised in the OP.

I think most people will say they never saw any evidence.
A believer however, sees the exact same evidence that the non-believers either struggle to deny or completely ignore.
Just read this forum if you want to see the excuses the non-believers are going to use.
It is already written down by them as a testimony!
As a believer myself, I find the overwhelming amount of evidence drives any thought of skepticism beyond reasonable limits.
What Jesus Christ said would happen, is really happening!
There is no longer any excuse.

i consider myself a christian.
seriously did not even think that jw was that much different...but now i know better and it has my mind spinning.
i have stopped answering questions, say my own prayers to god at the meetings, and plastr on a fake smile.
Does your husband want to obey Jesus Christ or a bunch of reprehensible men in Brooklyn?
Luke 21:8-9
He said: "Look out that YOU are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time has approached.’ Do not go after them.
Do not go after them. --> is that a recommendation in regard to a matter of conscience or is it an outtright commandment from Jesus Christ himself?
Your husband may object by saying that they do not claim to come on the basis of Jesus Christs name.
If he does then make certain you can easily find this on the CD Library:

To hold to the headship of Christ, it is therefore necessary to obey the organization that he is personally directing. Doing what the organization says is to do what he says. Resisting the organization is to resist him.
A Christian is someone who obeys Jesus Christ.
Do not go after them.

hi, i'm new here and this is my first post.
i've commented on several posts before and enjoy the feedback on this site above them all.
i was researching some things and this question came to mind.
Luke 12:49-53
"I came to start a fire on the earth, and what more is there for me to wish if it has already been lighted? 50 Indeed, I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and how I am being distressed until it is finished! 51 Do YOU imagine I came to give peace on the earth? No, indeed, I tell YOU, but rather division. 52 For from now on there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against [her] mother, mother-in-law against [her] daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against [her] mother-in-law."
Can you think of any other world wide stituation beyond the Jehovah's Witnesses where a very prolific number of once wholesome family units are being divided in such a manner as Jesus Christ describes above?
Just read many of the posts on this forum and also on others (in all languages!) which describe these family situations, for the abundant amount of evidence.
It's a pandemic unique to Jehovah's Witnesses!

The immense image in Daniel represents all of the "Kingdoms" that God himself has set up.
About 2000 years ago God set up a kingdom called Christianity.
It has been ruined!
The next and last kingdom that God sets up will crush all these other kingdoms.
Yep, I think the toes of iron and clay are the JW's.
The divisions are occuring over Jesus Christs baptism due to the re-inventing of it by the Governing Body so they could include a vow which venerates themselves.
Luke 12:49-53
"I came to start a fire on the earth, and what more is there for me to wish if it has already been lighted? 50 Indeed, I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and how I am being distressed until it is finished! 51 Do YOU imagine I came to give peace on the earth?

The iron and clay does not mix.

The EX-Jehovah's Witness community is the primary audience for the bible!
Isaiah 66:5
Hear the word of Jehovah, YOU men who are trembling at his word: "YOUR brothers that are hating YOU, that are excluding YOU by reason of my name, said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’ He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame."
.
Are you a believing Ex-JW who has been disfellowshipped?
Jehovah is addressing --------------> You
.
That is how the kingdom is divided!
Wheat and chaff!

Consider this:

Hear the word of Jehovah, YOU men who are trembling at his word: "YOUR brothers that are hating YOU, that are excluding YOU by reason of my name, said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’ He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame."
There is no other world wide religion who I know could be fulfillling this prophecy other than the Jehovah's Witnesses!

Announced from the Kingdom Hall Platform when someone is disfellowshipped (excluded by reason of God's name!)
"[Name of person] is no longer a Jehovah's Witness"

definition for the word prophecy:.
noun [plural prophecies.].
1. the foretelling or prediction of what is to come.. 2. something that is declared by a prophet, especially a divinely inspired prediction, instruction, or exhortation.. 3. a divinely inspired utterance or revelation: oracular prophecies.. .
After my escape from the WT I became unable to discuss prophesy.
After my escape I discussed it incessantly.
Something I really couldn't do while still a JW!
I no longer have to parrot something written in a magazine.
It's great!

And what's even funny is if a young one did prophecy as a jw they would be df'd for it.
Which in turn would fulfill an end time prophecy!
See post above.
If they were df'd for it then a good place to come and listen to what they have to say would be right here on this forum.
That is why I visit!

******I just knew that I was important!!!
Are you an EX-JW who has been disfellowshipped?
Did they say this from the Kingdom Hall Platform:
"[fulltimestudent] is no longer a Jehovah's Witness"
(you are not my people)
Romans 9:26
and in the place where it was said to them, ‘YOU are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’"
Maybe you are important!
That is why I visit this forum.
End time prophecies being fulfilled right under everyones noses while they continue to sleep.
