genesis 3:15 says that the woman’s seed would be in enmity with the serpent’s seed.
although the bible reveals that the woman’s seed is jesus and christians that go to heaven with christ, it does not identify the woman directly.
we at jw believe that the woman is symbolic.
I found interesting what the Quran 6:101 says regarding Allah (God):
"[He is] Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion [i.e., wife] and He created all things? And He is, of all things, Knowing.".
If talking about father and son is to compare to humans life helping us to understand, how could a father have a son without a mother? Who could be the mother if Jesus was the first to be created?
Am I wrong?
massive new document written by wt, 837 pages, meant for arguments vs officials and media to defend the disfellowshipping arrangement.
found in the casefile in norway.
meant to be secret.. .
Thank you! 🍺🍺🍺
in my opinion, having been a jehovah's witness for twenty years as well as being an ex-jw for forty-three years,is that the following talk as given by peter gregerson, emphatically removes any shadow of a doubt aboutwhether the claim for the faithful slave has any merit whatsoever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytcj6smffbk&t=3145s.

jws are taught that all bad reviews about them made by exjws are false and sick, so they must not read or listen to them.. so, when jws decide on joining, applying, or buying whatever product, service or organization: are they reading and listening only to good reviews about people still satisfied with that product, service, or organization because they consider false and sick all bad reviews made by people who abandoned that?
do they trust and rely on all bad reviews reported in documentaries, on internet, on tv, on magazines etc.
about people who left scientology, who left that house, who left that job position, who left that hotel, who left that restaurant, who left that medical treatment etc.?
The big issue is that Satan controls all bad reviews about everything: how could they be trustworthy then?

How could all this be coherently explained?

i am wondering if a jw accused to be a murderer (or any other serious crime except csa) in a judicial committee would be reported to the police.. if i sexually abused or molested a child, i would not be reported to the police.. what about if i killed a person: would i be instead?.
it is not a matter of being right or wrong but i am only curious to know if there is at least a sort of coherence regarding the internal policies for serious crimes....

what are the benefits of having created the human mind being able to have doubts inside (or regarding) the true religion (jude 22)?.
because if you have doubts, you are not sure, so it is difficult to believe and trust.
and if it is difficult to believe and trust, it is even more difficult to have faith since it is the "assured" expectation of what is hoped for (hebrews 11:1).

aaron's rod became a big snake (exodus 7:8-10).. when something not alive, like dust, becomes alive, like a living person (genesis 7:2): is this not called "creation"?
so, when pharaoh's wise men, sorcerers, and magic-practicing priests of egypt also did the same (exodus 7:11, 12): how could we called this instead?
i read about some jws explaining it as a magic illusion.

I read about some JWs explaining it as a magic illusion. But I suppose this answer would not solve the problem: since Aaron's performance was called a miracle (Exodus 7:9), how could we be sure that all the other miracles were not illusions as well then?
Unless demons materialized themselves into snakes...
is it difficult to believe in a loving god?.
if yes, i understand you.
it has been difficult to me too.
It is a really confusing matter.
In the OT God did everything for the love of His name which comes first. Then, have we been created with the same kind of "love"?
At the same time, apparently for the love of His name, He did not protect the correct pronunciation of His name to be forgotten and its presence in the NT to be removed...
