god loved humans way before abraham even existed
god made arrangements to fix the eden thing before there was the mosaic law
god made the way before judah was born
god is not impartial
we are his family
he is Our Father

The Greatest Christian Doctrine
by Sea Breeze inthe wt likes to quote ad infinitum that the central doctrine of the christian faith is the trinity.
they quote some catholic sources, yadda, yadda, yadda.
it is a great misdirection.

Who told the first lie?
by nicolaou inthis is a continuation of the discussion which sprang from an unrelated topic.. so according to genesis, who told the first lie?
god told eve that if she ate from the tree of knowledge she would die that very same day.
in response to that statement the devil told her she would not die.. eve ate from the tree and did not die.

jeffro: "Good. If you think God is your friend, you could probably do with some real ones."
lol, seems to me if you think god is an enemy
you're the one that could do with a friend
who is his friend
nicolauo: "Should we really be surprised that a being capable of such murderous atrocities is capable of lying to his children too?"
you're blaming the wrong dude
but the fact that you hate evil so intensely
is a beautiful thing
and shows why he loves you
even though you've got him mixed up with someone else

i like that it's about family too
in jesus' prodigal son illustration
he welcomed back the son before the son had time to "show repentance"
even though 10 of jacob's sons were liars, kidnappers, and violent
they didn't apologize until after finally faced with joseph years later
but they still received an inheritance from their dad and joseph made provisions for them
god has made provisions for us way before we knew about it
way before we were sorry
way before
and even though it takes time
the family will be reunited
he doesn't make it complicated like the religions do
he makes it simple
we just have to talk to him
he's right there

Members of congregation know it’s not true
by Mikejw inwe have lonely old folks and even some not so old.. they know the gb are not who they claim to be.. but they stay in the congregation because they are lonely.
i wonder what percentage of jws this is the case, i would guess a lot.

It's an exaggeration to say that.
if you were one of the children tortured by a jw elder
then you might beg to differ

JE-sus making a comeback at the 2024 Convention
by dropoffyourkeylee inattended the friday sesson of the 2024 summer convention.. july 5, 2024 summer convention crowd photo; they invited quite a lot of empty chairs.. .
the facility usually has 5500-6500. they spun it saying that fewer congregations were assigned.
there were 6 of the smaller, more distant sections blocked off with tarps to lessen cleaning, which i understand.

The true pronunciation of God's name....
by Kosonen ini found a very interesting video by a jewish biblical scholar about how to correctly pronounce jehovah.
it's not yahweh as other scholars claim.. https://youtu.be/4vgxmmbst8w?si=yq7ggwstkpnd3f18.

yah way
hey hey
Papa answers when He is called on in truth
he causes to become what is necessary for the situation
sometimes he gives us what we need to endure instead of taking the trial away right away
scholars are dumb sometimes
they can't see the forest for the trees
but a little kid (or those with a little kid heart) can see
the obvious
Jehovah is His name
or you can say Yahweh
or whatever it is in your language
baby
