Good scriptures Joen. Add to that
Matthew 12:36 KJV — But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
And to show accountability.... Luke 12

45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Nicely explained. Thank you Cofty.
Truthbeknown...OK so that's how they make this distinction....even though it is not biblical since the first promise of a Saviour was made to Eve almost immediately after the pair had sinned.

Does Anybody Here Sympathize With The Looters That Cause Destruction?

i realize some here are diehard democrats.

whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?

i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..

I believe the rumors of George's death are greatly exaggerated.

Thanks for the clarification Steel, Cofty, Carmichael and Joen.
I still don't understand how all Witnesses happily apply the ransom to themselves when they don't see themselves in the New Covenant arrangement and are without the benefits of the blood atonement.
On top of that they see Adam as eternally lost despite the fact of the ransom "payment" was allegedly made for Adam and race.
Any ideas?

praise jehovah with his people.

w73 7/1 pp.

4 consider, too, the fact that jehovah’s organization alone, in all the earth, is directed by god’s holy spirit or active force.

Jackson promised to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth under oath to Jehovah. Instead he chose to bare false witness and mislead the court.
