  If god exists why the Galaxy Andromeda is flying towards us ?

  by Jewtwo in

  galaxy andromeda flying towards the milcky way is a fact so why god did that ?

  i don't see the point, the galaxies will enter in collision in a very long time but i don't understand why a lovely god would do this it feels stupid.

  (or there is no god).

  A god of order , supreme lawgiver, master architect and yet he didn't allow for the movement of these galaxy s and that they would eventually merge onto one another and that in about a billion years our sun will start to die and overheat so that life on earth will cease to exist.

  Also as a all powerful god of order why did he allow his creation earth and other planets be bombarded by meteor's for billions of years if we look at the moon we can see the impact they had on the surface and the earth also has had many impacts as well.

  A brother had a study with a work colleague he progressed to baptism then after about 18 months stopped attending ,I asked the bro how so &so we don't talk anymore.

  Another one a witness married someone not in the lord they had a Bible study got baptized started a family then the original witness had a affair and is disfellowshiped and the person still attends .

  At the mouth of two or three witnesses a matter is confirmed.

  Vs 6,9,10 the lord said to Cain ,no witnesses to these conversations .

  Where's Cain's version of the events?

  Was it self defense,did Abel fall over one of his sheep .

  And if the story is true what did Adam do regarding this murderer ,told him to take one of my daughter's your sister as a wife and banished them to the wilderness where if the Bible was true there are no other humans.

  And Adams final words to them as they walked away was to watch out for those dinosaur's .

  Think it depends on the elders and sadly how they view the individual disfellowshiped person , some will veiw it as" necessary family business" .

  On one occasion at the kingdom hall they were ok with the disfellowshiped person but made a scene at the gathering after.

  Another occasion at the disfellowshiped person mother's funeral they were left alone and people that grew up with the person ,were can we speak to the person over their loss and I explained that a funeral is necessary family business they were ok then to express the sorrow at the loss of the person mother .

  That was a few years ago what the rules are now ,who knows .

  JWs Were Right About Something

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they used to say the world governments would turn on religion.

  i think this part is coming true.

  however they also said since jehovah’s witnesses were going to be the only religion left the governments were going to focus on the “eyeball”of jehovah, his people.

  They were right when they made the statement

  That religion is a snare and a racket.

  But failed to realize it included themselves .

  If that was taking place in a family relationship that would be called domestic abuse which is a criminal offence in many countries and yet JWs view is as spiritual instruction .

  And yet while you are experiencing such behaviour constantly you don't notice it even though you feel something it's right , but until you admit to yourself that the king had no clothes ,it's only then you start to see how you were manipulated and controled and start the waking up process.

  Abuse of this kind is a learned behaviour ,we probably all did it with our family and people we tried to preach to in the field service , thankfully we can and do unlearn this abusive behaviour and become better people for doing so.

  Are Jehovah Witness willing to end studies?

  https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-october-2020/how-to-conduct-a-bible-study-that-leads-to-baptism-part-two/.

  i recently came across the above watchtower article which spoke about conducting bible studies which lead to baptism.

  it progressed to say that if the bible study instructor does not see growth within the student or the desire to work towards baptism, then the studies should end.

  As I recall a Bible study is if on the first call and you read a scripture then on the return visit you read and briefly discuss another scripture and something on JW.org you can count a study even if on the next visit they stop the discussion, at the end of the month you report a study,

  The same will probably be the same with letter writing etc.

  That probably account's for the high number of reported studies and the low number progressing to baptism.
