today i made a post on linkedin about having suicidal thoughts since the age of 8. had lots of supportive comments.
one lady said her son was suicidal from the age of 4. i was freaked out.
then she sent me the message below.. i hope she was counting her time!.
Interesting translation regarding Hebrews 7:1 could simply imply that Melchizedek's origins were a complete mystery to his peers.
"There is no record of his father or mother or any of his ancestors - no (record regarding) beginning or end to his life. He remains a priest forever, resembling the Son of God." (NLT)
Even the cult's literature doesn't touch on the topic.
an old elder friend from out of town stopped to see my ailing wife.
more than the locals do.
he said elder school emphasized 2 years and the existing body will be the leaders through persecution and tribulation.
WHY ARE THEY STILL TRYING?
Because the self-proclaimed "slave" have got to keep deluding the sheeple that the BORG is God's earthly organization, and that the G.B. has "inspired statements." (1 John 4:1) 😁
disfellowshipping is slowly fading into the night.. last efforts to survive.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1gh3ilq/wt_vs_norway_wt_sends_letter_to_the_goverment/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button.
If the Norwegian Government does not want to be made to look like suckers by the JW Borg, they should insist that the Governing Body issue a letter to all congregations that the former "thinking" of shunning of anyone who no longer associates with them has been reviewed - based on Scriptural guidance:
"Dear Brothers, regarding former members of the congregation who were removed due to their unrepentant behaviour or those who left of their own volition, (1 John 2:19) we used to think that such ones should be ignored in all situations by means of shunning. We now believe that the principle of Jesus' words at Matthew 18:17 - "If he does not listen even to the congregation, let him be to you just as a man of the nations and as a tax collector," should be applied, namely, that socially associating with such ones should be avoided, while normal, necessary interactions should continue. First century Jews & Christians would have understood this reasoning."

the first watchtower for 2025 is out, and immediately, articles 4 and 5 drew my attention.
these will be studied near the memorial season, a time the witnesses prepare for their yearly commemoration of jesus’ death, i will be returning on this articles near at the time.
I think eternal non-existence is a far more accurate description than eternal punishment.
It's a state, not an ongoing disciplining regime!
according to boots the chemist, their £20 flu jab (free for over 65's) will stop infection and transmission!
"whilst no vaccine is 100% effective, having a flu jab will help protect you from catching flu and passing it on to others.

How many of these 18,000 + fatalities had received the wonderful flu jab, I wonder?
"Latest UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data shows that over the past 2 winters (October to May, 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024) at least 18,000 deaths were associated with flu, despite last winter being a relatively mild flu season." https://www.gov.uk/government/news/18000-flu-related-deaths-in-past-2-winters-as-jab-uptake-falls

"Whilst no vaccine is 100% effective, having a flu jab will help protect you from catching flu and passing it on to others."
The NHS says similar - but with a couple of get-out-of-jail caveats:
"The flu vaccine aims to protect you against the most common types of flu viruses. There's still a chance you might get flu after getting vaccinated, but it's likely to be milder and not last as long. The vaccine helps protect you from getting the flu. If you do get flu and have been vaccinated, the symptoms are likely to be milder and not last as long. It also helps to reduce the spread of flu and may protect those around you from getting ill."
I'm no virologist or scientist, but AFAIK, the only way to prevent infection & transmission of any virus is to wear a Hazmat Suit.

Pick your favourite parable/illustration, and let's see how it would look as a "prophecy." 🤣
Can't wait to see this "prophecy" fulfilled and shown on the news channels:

In
our day the Governing Body is made up of spirit-anointed brothers
from various lands. It is located at the world headquarters of
Jehovah’s Witnesses. Loyally it furthers the interests of pure
worship under the headship of Jesus Christ. These brothers share the
viewpoint of the apostle Paul, who, when sending spiritual counsel to
fellow Christians, wrote: “Not that we are the masters over your
faith,”—2 Cor. 1:24. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i just made a video every jw should see.
the aim of this video is to help jehovah's witnesses be more open to constructive critisism, especially from their own members, that are swiftly excommunicated /disfellowshipped/ removed from the congregation if they dare to point out their religion's flaws concerning doctrine and practises, even when there is scriptural evidence.
i have first hand experience of that.. https://youtu.be/71zcv7lux3g.
John 14:26 - "But the helper, the holy spirit, the G.B. which the Father will send in my name, they will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you."
