  Journeyman The point is, even if Alex did fail to show before, our friend with the sunny disposition goes on one of his usual abrasive, nit-picky and self-righteous rants at him. Looks like Alex was unaware what a tiresome and awkward PITA he can be to deal with, especially if you dare not to do everything exactly as he wants it and bow at the altar of Cedars.

  What an odious little man (well, small minded if not exactly small!).

  Someone tell that lad the unemployable git hasn't got an 'assistant' but a wife-slave. He hasn't got a 'work life balance' but lives one long vacation. And not to allow himself to be used for monetized content by the greedy so and so. He can't find guests which is why he wanted to 'jump on' straight away.

  Imagine someone is going to literally earn your wages for you, but you tell them you'll get back to them 'in your own sweet time'.😡

  There's plenty of you tuber's he can debate, most far nicer than Cedars and will at least understand when a person has work commitments!!!!

  Edit: If 'his team' was required to waste so much 'time and resources' to organise that debate (for which, from what I can gather, there wasn't a specific 'time' exactly anyway), how come he's able to just 'jump in' without any preparation this time???

  I would also insist the debate was a livestream if I were Alex, because he'll edit it to his advantage afterward, too.

  embedded in the cleveland ohio convention.

  pre covid attendance was always 7k+ this year 4500.. 37baptised mixed bag.

  less then half were children.. as far as patience goes, it can certainly help you be a better person when dealing with others but needless to say, this having patience waiting for jehovah is pure b.s.!

  Also the drama was about the brothers in Africa having to flee their home and country by listening to the direction from the branch. Jehovah saved them by sending them to a U.N. refugee camp!

  So the UN comes in handy for some things, then?🤪

  R & R Since the bus arrived around 9 a.m. each morning in Milwaukee, all seats that were shaded/partly shaded or had a cover from the blazing sun in the middle of July were all taken. We had no choice but to sit on the outfield seats ( which were in full sun, all day long). Imagine sitting in the blazing sun all day long with a jacket/ tie or mothers having to take care of small children in the oppressive heat. Talk about sunstroke!

  Ruddy Nora can you imagine all the poor sods who probably developed melanomas back then?!😳

  Just shows to me that people living six decades ago were a much hardier stock than the wimps today.

  Holy Hell. It sounds like something out of a nightmare.

  Well I must be a real oddball then, because it looks like my idea of heaven!😂 Never happier than taking my scouts off camping for a week...oggie oggie oggie 👂.. .. .. !

  Went to Twickers but living in Bedford we were near enough to drive down daily.

  * NB no air con required in the UK (usually).

  Is AI going to change the world?

  had lunch with a friend, whose a lecturer in the accounting dept.

  of one of australia's best universities.

  he told me he expects to lose his job at some point in the next 5 years, as the accounting dept, will disappear, as all accounting will be done by ai programs, so why teach it.. if his fears are correct, that means that any profession that involves the mind, may one day face the same future.

  I'm also very pessimistic Slim. I haven't watched any of your posted videos (but I intend to!)

  However my view is that, at best, AI will prioritise life on Earth over humanity. Viewing us as a threat to other forms of life and not worthy of our position as guardians.

  Only baptised JWs will make it?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  i think it was a john cedars video or someone else’s where the point was brought up that only baptised jws will be saved?

  then one talk about kids of baptised jws hope they will make it but even them don’t know.

  most jws probably think that some good people who are not baptised may make it through, but this is not official teaching?.

  This quote is fudging the point. It's basically saying that of those alive today only the ones who become witnesses have the possibility of being saved.

  It asks the question "Will only Jehovahs Witnesses be saved?"

  "No. Many millions who lived in centuries past and who weren’t Jehovah’s Witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation. The Bible explains that in God’s promised new world, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) Additionally, many now living may yet begin to serve God, and they too will gain salvation. In any case, it’s not our job to judge who will or won’t be saved. That assignment rests squarely in Jesus’ hands.—John 5:22, 27.

  Most Witnesses have enough cognitive dissonance to believe a proportion of good people who were never exposed to the truth will be saved.

  They can't face the fact Watchtower has always maintained, with the exception of very young kids of baptised witnesses, only those baptised have the possibility of being saved. Most Witnesses will say even baptism is no guarantee. But of course that's not addressing the real question!

  I'm sure a search of old publications will bring up plenty of quotes - try Avoidjw.org - and yes Antony Morris repeated that idea in a recent video.
