Why should they ask the holy spirit? Why isn’t freely available to all men of all faiths of all nations? Sounds to me like the holy spirit is a bit zenophobic.

If the bible is god's handbook for man, why is it such gobbledegook?
by Aussie Oz ini don't mean the basic moral code of behavior (that many non biblical lands also just happen to have) that people use to model their lives, but the 'deeper' stuff.... assuming that god has had his divine plan for vindicating himself etc ever since he figured that adam may screw up, and he needed to let faithful mankind know the 'plan' and how to survive it all.... why is the important stuff all gobbledegook?.
the time frame, prophecy, signs and so on are all so obscure that even the cleverest theologians can't understand it or agree on it.
the 'truth' is so muddled and juggled up that every understanding can be logically challenged with an equally challengable one.

The message of the bible can only be revealed by the Holy Spirit. When He show you the message it is plain and simple, without Him it is gobbledegook
The holy spirit doesn’t work very well, if there’s so much confusion around.

How do you suppose....
by exwhyzee inthe unique animals of austrailia ( kangaroo, walaby,koala bear, platapus etc) found their way to that isolated body of land once noah let them off the ark?
if they migrated there from mt.
ararat, it seems there would be fossils of them found between there and austrailia.

although I am sure that the answer would have something to do with the land masses all being joined at some point.
The land masses were joined millions of years ago. And how long ago was Noah supposed to have lived?

Why would the commission go to the WTS? Don’t all bank fees for using ATMs go to the bank?

The irrelevancy of the JW culture and doctrines in my life. My Advice to the new members.
by onemore inive been missing meetings and curtailing my fs activities, even avoiding many of my jw friends by declining invitations to do non-theocratic activities with them (reverse shunning...take that jws!!!
), and unless i decide to da (or get dfd) a complete fade will be very hard to achieve (mainly because of my loved ones), but im learning to master the art of what i like to call the: less committed witness (or 1st degree fader).
i have submerged myself into the study of the gospel (using non-jw material) and the history of the christian church.

Also, keep in mind she wasn’t born to be a Queen. It was only because Uncle Edward abdicated his throne that her father became a King, and she subsequently became a Queen.
