  as a jehovah's witness, i always thought via the bible that we had all of lifes answers.

  after my investigation which is not condone by the fds.

  i have come to the realization that we don't have all the answers.

  Blanket statements may be suffocating, even when they are backed by Jehovah.

  Jehovah had Romans 1 written to show us what He allows when we are convinced that He doesn't have to be taken on His own terms. It's a sobering read.

  a proper JW personality includes humility and reality, in my honest opinion

  to PSacramento: Actually, Jehovah condemns the ways honouring the God of Good Luck, and Jehovah also is holy, and doesn't use profanity. Even thisForum has, as one of its Posting Guidelines: To ensure all users feel safe and keen to participate, please avoid:3. Swearing, using hate-speech or making obscene or vulgar comments.

  to Satanus: Revelation 4:9-11 [with footnoted portion expanded and highlighted] gives an excellent example of the attitude we all should imitate:— 9 And whenever the living creatures offer glory and honor and thanksgiving to the one seated upon the throne, the one that lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders [Greek, pres·by´te·roi.] fall down before the One seated upon the throne and worship the One that lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 "You are worthy, Jehovah [See Appendix 1D.], even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created."

  Revelation 12:12 indicates part of the reason that Jehovah's power may appear lacking to many:— "On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time."

  where do the refinements come from?, and why do you answer thus?

  bluecanary asks [with emphasis mine]:.

  in the past when god's chosen leader acted without his blessing, god corrected the individual/group in an obvious and miraculous way.

  why does it appear, then, that when the gb is "adjusted" it comes from external sources, such as the 1914 generation dying off, or races integrating nationwide.

  This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you [Or, "their knowing you." Greek, hi´na gi·no´sko·si se.], the only true God, and of the one you sent forth, Jesus Christ. — John 17:3 NWT Reference Bible with footnoted portion expanded and highlighted.

  As to exactly what the parameters of "taking in such knowledge", I let Jehovah and Jesus Christ dictate the terms as they see fit, so that I cannot be held in contempt.

  Humility and reality are a good recipe for success, come what may.
