my mother became a witness right after i was born.

1951. i was indoctrinated from that time forward for 50 yrs.

during that time i did not hear anything about the 2 witness rule as applied to child molestation.
tiki

Anything worthy of a judicial committe always was based on that Talmudic rule...2 witnesses. It even takes precedence over Jesus instruction to individually go to your brother and lay bare the sin and work it out one on one.

Restrictions imposed by the government that affect our activities should be followed. —Rom. 13:1.

in their covid19 related instructions watchtower writes:.

restrictions imposed by the government that affect our activities should be followed.

what changed?

The total ban on the religion in some countries yes...they pulled the obeying God as ruler rather than man...and kept meeting and witnessing on the sneak. But weren't there countries that would simply restrict meetings and they would have "picnics in the park" to circumvent that?
Whatever...I bet there will be enough KH real estate up for sale...got to have that money siphoned off. My curiosity is what entity is really behind this particular storefront....

kept it, sold it or dumped it?

Dumped....I still have one old black NWT and the Byington Bible they printed in limited quantities. I think I may have an old Babylon book too.....

Got over that fast.....okies...the witchtower...some hilarious satire like should Christians have cats....or the (balaam) "ass class"

why did jehovah create corona virus?

why did jehovah create the strains of corona virus ?.

is it part of the great tribulation that is closer than ever now ?.

what if lots of his people die from it ?.
tiki

Every living organism evolves and mutations are to be expected....these viruses are a prime example. But you cannot educate those who refuse to learn.
The deadly plagues in Egypt....science explains the whole progression from red tide down to the firstborn sons being the first to traditionally consume the topmost tainted level of grain in the barrels. But people had no understanding of earth events so attributed them to miracles from their gods...whether those of the Hebrews, Egyptians, whatever.

I was falling out of the truth when I was past the bloom of youth but happifying...married only in the Lord and was fed food in the proper season and anxiously awaited new light but the new order of things did not happen so I needed loving counsel and encouragent from the big trees of righteousness and then to keep up with the chariot I had to stop calling it a new order and refer to it as the new system of things but no one posted that letter from the faithful and discreet slave on the information board so how was I to know it had changed back to the new world? And millions now living went on to their heavenly reward while the publishers of the good news anxiously await their vegan lions in paradise.
