the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lieĀ or it is impossible for god to lie.
.
so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.
the kingdom hall is still empty.
even with amalgamation of 2 congregations.
the elders are handling the microphones and there was only one comment from zoom at the watchtower.
Thatās OK.
Means something to us, and thatās enough.
re. enoughisenoughās postā¦
Yup, like I said, he drew the short straw, and caught a break. š

if the watchtower really wants to move more mainstream they need to take a lesson from evangelicals in the united states.
they seem to say there are "essential beliefs".
a handful of core beliefs that are necessary to be considered true christians.
I just had a fucked-up ideaā¦
ā¦wouldnāt it be a kick in the ass if actual moderates on the GB were genuinely trying to use that ācore beliefāā¦
ā¦to make the transition to authentic mainstreaming more smooth?
(i.e. essentially use the slavesā obedience to free them?)

All the extra-Biblical requirements were a big part of how they distinguished themselves from āThe Worldā.
Dumping so much so fast suggests more reform attempts may be on the way, but also smacks of quiet desperation.
