  God cannot lie

  by psyco in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.

  .

  so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.

  In my congregation one of the elders is such a bad reader that once, in order to be clear, the COBE repeated the content of the letter or announcement he had just read...

  No joking. It really happened! 😂

  [GOOD NEWS] My PIMI wife became PIMQ!

  by psyco in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after a few years, unexpectedly, my pimi wife became pimq.. today she even asked me a question that i found very interesting:.

  if god has been anointing women to be part of the kings and priests over humankind, why cannot they currently rule and guide 8 million people being part of the governing body (acquiring experience in that role as well)?.

  If I remember well, I read somewhere that in court one of the Presidents or Governing Body members (maybe F. Franz?) declared that JWs do have a clergy!

  I do not understand the universal issue anymore

  by psyco in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to explain the universal issue we are often referring to a teacher and his/her students.. let us imagine that a teacher (god) has an hour (everlasting) class to show his students (humans and angels) how to fix a broken clock (to reign).. one student (adam) says he is able to fix it better independently, without the teacher's help (universal issue).. the teacher let him demonstrate that in front of all the others, but instead of an hour lesson he gives him only 5 minutes (death after a limited period of time) and he blocks one of the student's hands behind his back (imperfection).. if i were one of the other students watching i could think: but those were not the initial conditions the student was in when he said he could, and what would have happened leaving him more time and both hands free?.

  am i crazy?.

  If he is not, God changed the original conditions (perfection) when Satan challenged Him as you said.

  If you challenge my right to manage a company and I let you demonstrate it taking away part of your abilities (perfection), would I really be demonstrating to others that you are not able to or that you are wrong, or that you do not have the right?
