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.

kinda like how the gb/wt-hierarchy label people as "apostates" and then act in a heavy-handed way
gb/wt-hierarchy = authoritarian regime
interesting how those guys seem to be using the same playbook
(makes sense once you see it for what it is)

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.

the first century christians were god's children before they even read the "new testament"
(because those words weren't even written down yet)
abraham never read the bible and he was god's friend
people just love each other and hope for the best

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.

i use a lot of translations
most of the people i talk to online are exjw or current jws
anyway, kids are kids
jesus died for god's "children" before they were redeemed
so what you're saying is just semantics
when jesus was talking to the sadducees about the faithful ones of old
he said "they're all living to him"
because those dead ones were as good as already resurrected
it's the same here
god can view whoever he wants as his kids
because the ransom is powerful
and they're already as good as redeemed
which is why we show grace
to everyone
jesus will judge who will get life at the appointed time
but in the meantime we don't make distinctions
the rain and sun and love extend to everyone
it doesn't matter if they are "born-again" or pagan or atheist

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

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
