Duh, ALL judgement has been given to Jesus Christ. Jehovah judges NO ONE, Jesus Chris judges everyone AND brings his reward with him depending on YOUR judgement.

the "slave's" understanding of the scriptures must be correct, so here's a clarification: ©.
(matthew 10:18) ....before governors and kings for jehovah's sake, for a witness..... (mark 13:9) ...be put on the stand......for jehovah's sake, for a witness to them.
(luke 24:47, 48) .
Duh, ALL judgement has been given to Jesus Christ. Jehovah judges NO ONE, Jesus Chris judges everyone AND brings his reward with him depending on YOUR judgement.

all christians: you don't have all of the bible (complete 88 books) yet, so can you have "all .
all truth!
" (see john 16:13).
The “universal Bible “ is that one which is most widely accepted. NOT the one with the most or least books, but the one that is most commonly accepted. That was the promise of the Holy Spirit.

i was going to write a new topic but now i just can't be bothered ... and i'll tell you why.. on my facebook feed a few days ago, i saw an interview of a couple of onlyfans girls, who said that they were active christians that attended church weekly.
and while i was going to spend some time writing about the virtues of our faith's strict moral standards ... i now understand that i'd only be flamed as a watchtower apologist.. that being said, out of the approximately 4 million onlyfan girls out there ... it obvious, that none are jehovah's witnesses..
There are many other people who I’m not part of “only fans “groups. North Koreans, Syrians, Libyans, Afghanistan’s, and a lot of other people that are highly controlled.
For the record, there was no victory in being forced into a decision. That’s what free will is all about.
The truth will set you free
rowan williams, the former archbishop of canterbury gave an interesting answer to the somewhat stark question, what’s the point of us existing?
as a christian, my starting point is that we exist because the most fundamental form of activity, energy, call it what you like, that is there, is love.
that is, it’s a willingness that the other should be.
God is love. Self love? No.
To be love you must have something/someone to love.
Hence, the Son/word of God.
The Father loves the Son (his own word)

in the march 2025 jw broadcast david splane in his morning worship talk mentioned that "some thought" that armageddon would come 40 years after 1914. such statements are usually meant to shift the blame of their own false predictions on to their members for speculating.
however, i was unable to find anything in print showing that such a thing was indeed taught by the society.
was this really a thing?.
True or not, so many falsehoods in WTS prophesy history, what’s another one?

what's with the attack (counsel) on husbands with no corresponding article for wives on the jan 2025 w that is being studied today?.
is there a point to that?.
control
asking jehovah’s witnesses to interpret specific passages is a great way to demonstrate their interpretive abuse.
got any clear examples?.

a man, like new gb member jody jodele, dripping in wealth—$20,000 rolex, freemasonry ring, cushy life in upstate new york—pontificating about job’s suffering.
it’s a fair jab to question how someone so detached from hardship might approach a story of utter loss.
Why the GB distorts the whole Bible…

—colossians 1:15 from the nwt says it plain as day: “he is the image of the invisible god, the firstborn of all creation.” that’s not vague; it’s got a punch.
“firstborn” and “creation” sit side by side, and in greek, that second word is “ktisis,” which means the physical stuff—trees, stars, you name it.
The Bible is filled with what seems as many contradictions. We all need an authority to interpret this holy book. Taking specific scripture passages out of context can always lead to confusion.
One will always get a better feel for what the author is trying to convey by reading the complete paragraph and chapter.
Taking scriptures out of context, and breaking down, the specific grammar does not teach honest, biblical scholarship. This is common sense to anyone who’s ever read a book.
Make no mistake, Jesus claimed to be God.
John 8:58-59 Jesus claims directly to be God when he says “before Abraham was, I am “
Some will deny that, but the Jews around Jesus, instantly picked up stones to kill him for blasphemy. That is the specific sin/claim of being equal to God. If Jesus did not say that he was God, then why were they trying to kill him for blasphemy? Just common sense.
John 10:30-33 “I and the father are one “ and again, the crowd picks up stones to kill him for blasphemy. Again, the claim of blasphemy is to claim yourself equal to God. He may have not said in our English translation “I am God “but in Aramaic, that’s exactly what he said. They even told him “you make yourself, God “
When the apostles asked, “show us the father “. Jesus replies “whoever has seen me, has seen the father. Pretty direct quote of Jesus saying he is God.
Mark 2:5-7 Jesus, forgives, a sinner, and the Jews say “who can forgive sins, but God alone? “ what does Jesus do? Immediately after he forgives his sins, he heals the man.
Mathew 25:31 states that Jesus is the one who judges the world, who separates the wheat from the weeds, he alone decides who goes where.
Of course, 100% depends on where you put the authority of interpreting the Scriptures. I’ll put the authority in where the Scriptures came from. Others put the authority in an organization that picked up a Catholic book and decided that they knew better than the people who wrote, protected, taught l, lived by it righteous teachings.
