In thinking of "all" or "everyone" to be taken literally: My conclusion is if one accepts that all has sinned, then when Jesus says his blood is for the forgiveness of sin for all, then I take that to be literal as well.

Jesus Never Limited His Promies to 144K
by Sea Breeze inwhat were we thinking?
mat_10:32 whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will i confess also before my father which is in heaven.. mat_10:33 but whosoever shall deny me before men, him will i also deny before my father which is in heaven.. mat_12:50 for whosoever shall do the will of my father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.. mat_16:25 for whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.. mat_18:4 whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.. mar_10:15 verily i say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of god as a little child, he shall not enter therein.. luk 6:47,48 whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, i will shew you to whom he is like: he is like a man .
which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock.

Do you know of any church that KNOWS God?
by the-MadJW ini mean, the jws have many faults, as each of us have.. do you know any other group that does?.

Ec 10:19 is where it says money is the answer for everything, or as some translated " buys everything you need.", but Ex 7:12 shows the advantage of wisdom over money.

the congregation won’t hold any information as they did before from march it will be all put on the pub.

they are complicit in the deaths and injuries of 1000's. I hope more wake up and get out! I watched where Elon Musk had to take boosters to go into Germany and he is speaking out saying it almost killed him and gave a relative of his myocarditis. Some videos I watched , they played down myocarditis and others were claiming the damage to the heart made for an early death...there was a range of years, but I can't remember. Their out is going to be, we told people it was a personal decision.

money is the answer for everything is in contrast to wisdom. Wisdom can save your life where money can't. If the dead are conscious, then Satan told the truth and you never die-no worries, right?

Active JWs making 'bad' movies
by neat blue dog inanybody seen the made for streaming movies "the stepmother" 1 & 2?
-- written and directed by chris stokes & co-written and starring marquis houston, both of whom are active jws, posting about going door to door preaching, putting jehovah first, yada yada.
and yet the movies have bloody violence, simulated rape, the female costar's chest hanging out the whole time & marquis even kisses her in the film even though he's married to a jw in real life (who's 19 years younger and came of age just in time to marry him).

Sea Breeze--Rev is a book given in Signs...The Bible says the dead are not conscious.
a side thought: people say things like I know my Mom ( or Dad) is up in heaven looking down upon me. Consider this, if heaven is a place of bliss and happiness, how could Mom or Dad in heaven possibly be happy looking down upon the their children and seeing their hardships, their sufferings, their coercions to take poison? to see the pollutions that make their grandchildren sick? Yep! they would be happy alright!

Sea Breeze, I take your point. I base my beliefs on what I read from the Bible...I have a friend of a Christian religion and she is fed up with it because of what she knows isn't correct in it. I could go to a local church but I wouldn't be popular because I would want to say, "No, your mother isn't in heaven because the resurrection is on the last day and we haven't seen it yet."

When I was a kid, before I ever heard about a JW, I knew that Jesus wasn't God almighty. Even if one were to find a church around here that teaches Jesus is the son of God rather than God himself, they still celebrate the lie of xmas being his birthday. Jesus told the Samaritan woman that God was to be worshipped in spirit and in TRUTH. There isn't any "truth" in xmas. If you are going to waste time in lies, you just as well stay pimo and have your friends and family around. No wonder some become atheist or agnostics. Here is another lie the churches teach-the good go to heaven when they die. A preacher told Mom my little brother went to heaven in the smoke of the housefire that killed him A Baptist preacher who knew my 18 year old brother who had been an ornery kid all his life preached to the crowd that this brother who was killed in a car wreck had gone to hell. ( unless he had changed his ways and as far as the preacher knew from 3 days back, he hadn't.) Then there was the grand father-in-law who was a drunk and woman chaser who was a marvelous Christian and was in heaven-according to the preacher at the last "worldly" funeral I ever went to....If I want lies, I will go back to KH! I watch some exjw experiences on youtube to see what caused them to wake up and how they handled it, but when they start in on how they discovered Jesus is Almighty God himself--I just look for something else.

the reason I am not going to a church is because I am surrounded ( 2 within a short walk )of mainstream denominations...I know they aren't teaching the truth either. Yes, they teach Jesus, but they also teach the mainstream church lies as well. What is the point if you know you are going from one lying organization to another? I watch and listen to youtube, and so many who leave JW go from frying pan to fire.

"ehh" is correct ...trying to combat falsehood with falsehood from what I gleaned with my quick scan of the info.
