For instance, when God said, “I will destroy Nineveh in forty days,” He was speaking conditionally upon the Assyrians’ response.
Too bad he wasn't able to just "read their hearts" and skip all the drama with the "fish".

Can God Change his Mind?
by peacefulpete inis 31:yet he also is wise and will bring disaster and does not retract his words.. 1 sam 15: furthermore, the eternal one of israel does not lie or change his mind, for he is not man who changes his mind.. numbers 23: god is not a man who lies, or a son of man who changes his mind.
does he speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?.
when the god you worship pronounces judgement, is he, really just issuing a warning or has the matter been determined through all the godly powers of insight, foresight and perfect judgement?

Standing quietly and simply not reciting it nor putting my hand over my heart was never a big issue, but having to SIT for the National Anthem could bring some harassment.
In more recent years, as an adult and even as an elder, I would stand at events that had the National Anthem, ie ballgames, or community events (common at theater productions here) even with other JWs. When questioned I inquired if they were not aware that was the direction in the "new" School Brochure. Something like "when invited to stand and sing the NA, one could choose to stand but NOT sing".
I think the old timers WANTED to stir the shit! They wanted to draw attention to being different.
Calling it an "act of worship" was always bullshit. Americans stand for the Canadian anthem when Canadian teams play ball in the US and vice versa. None of those sports fans think they are WORSHIPPING the other nation.

Do JWs Really Say This?
by NotFormer ini stumbled, via a google search, upon a part of jw space that is usually heavily defended against outsiders like my good self.
in a discussion, someone started their post with "i (started doing x)... when the slave began to suggest doing so"*.
do pimis really talk that way?

Thankfully Fred Franz didn’t have anything to do with it.
AGREED! (RIP)
The fact that FF's spin was exceptionally better than GB 2.0 (or is it 3.0 now?) says a lot about the "proper food at the proper time" these days.

I bought into all that Freddy Franz Last Days BS spin and then add to that the Overlap BS. Not again.
You know why they call them the Last Days? Because they last, and they last, and they last, and . . . .
