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).

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). But no faith means no life, so doubts are leading to death. I am wondering why doubts exist... For what reason?
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...

At the moment, it is very hard to answer your question according to the information published on the JW website.
The WT May 2020, study article 20, paragraphs 15 and 16, says that Armageddon will come when Gog of Magog, a coalition of nations led by the king of the north (Russia and its allies), will attack JWs. That means many nations, if not all, will “follow” the king of the north (Russia and its allies) in this decision.
At the same time, on January 3rd 2022, the JW website published a piece of global news linking an article (https://www.state.gov/international-religious-freedom-or-belief-alliance-statement-on-jehovahs-witnesses/) saying that many nations (like Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States) are “opposing” and “condemning” decisions, like Russia (king of the north) one, to persecute (could we say attack?) JWs…
when humankind will be perfect again after 1,000 years living in a paradise without being influenced by satan and demons, since "the number of these is as the sand of the sea" (revelation 20:8), a huge amount of "perfect" people, like adam and eve, will be bad, disobedient, and rebel being misled by satan once again.. does this mean that after living today surrounded by bad, disobedient, and rebel imperfect people, you will still live surrounded by bad, disobedient and rebel "perfect" people in a paradise?.
does this mean that badness, disobedience, and rebellion are part of the "perfect" human nature considering the big amount of people involved ("as the sand of the sea")?.
is it possible that we were originally created with such a strong desire and tendency to badness, disobedience, and rebellion as a result of a wise, loving, and perfect project?.

And also:
If we all know (God, angels, and humans) that there will be this other test and even its result (Revelation 20:8) since it is already written in the Bible, all this time left to imperfect humankind is to demonstrate what to who?
