@DJW I am not interested in discussing faith issues with someone who distains Christian faith. Do have a nice day.

A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.
by Fisherman inobviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.
and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.
in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

@Fisherman How are you keeping? Haven't heard from you in a couple of days.
@DWJ In case you haven't noticed this thread is about the generation which will not pass away.

What did Jesus Teach the "Kingdom of Heaven/God" is?
by truth_b_known inthe books of matthew, mark, luke, john, and the beginning of acts are filled with what the authors purport are statements of jesus.
jesus is quoted as making several statements about "the kingdom of heaven" or "the kingdom of god".
those statements are often given as parables that start with a phrase something like "the kingdom of heaven is like...".

Well contrary to Watchtower understanding , Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will be in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 8:10-11 When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
Hebrews 11: 9-10, 13-16 9 By faith he (Abraham) sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.... 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

Sorry Waton,
I responded to you thinking you were Fisherman.
You're avatars are virtually identical.

Expressing with family thankfulness for all we have in this creation, and sticking to the formula set by Jesus' example, can we do better than that?
Yes, His example is... "Our Father who art in heaven..."
Is God your Father or do you hope one day that He becomes your Father?
So, would your personal relationship with God be affected if you were to reject the identity claims of certain men in Warwick New York?

Could the WT org. Be in on the "great reset"?
by nowwhat? inthe org.
was all too willing to emphasize to the government - especially the left that they very obedient to the calls for mask, vaccine, and lockdown mandates.
those that know about the great reset know what i'm talking about.

My take is that there is no reset possible without repentance for preaching a false gospel that links salvation with an organization and a false angelic Jesus who cannot be related to in any kind of a meaningful way..

The problem of questioning or the lack of politeness
by joao ina forum is a place where people should be able to talk to each other, to question, to have meaningful interactions with others in a polite and educated way, to contribute for the growth of one another.
it seems that, here, there are some people who think that the others know nothing.
they have all the facts, all the truth and have the disrespectful attitude of ignoring concrete and respectful questions.

Hi Joao,
Sometimes people refuse to answer critical questions because it is not to their advantage; not responding or not responding truthfully allows them to maintain a sense of superiority or rightness. I know it can be frustrating. But If you interpret non-response as an admission, which it often is; it will be easier to deal with.
I believe Fisherman is here because he has serious doubts about the religion he has cherished and supported for years. To admit that would blow his cover.

Our fellowship is with the Father and the Son. Christians don't need to address God as Jehovah, but relationally as Father. Sadly 8 million Jehovah's Witnesses confess that they are not sons of God, they are not indwelt by His Holy Spirit and do not have a saving relationship with the real Jesus....or with the archangel Michael for that matter.
Of course, they look at God propectively as their father. If they follow men in NY and faithfully work for 1000 years...they will be saved and God will actually become their father.
