With this trend It might come to the point when any hour in the "field service" will require a wt form to sign. A written agreement, that the hours "served" are a personal decision, message preached a strictly personal conviction.

I do not understand why you should be considered bad parents if you do not have your children submitted to you
by psyco inafter creating the first human couple, god had 100% of not submitted human creatures (0 out of 2).at the time of the flood, he had 99,9% of not submitted human creatures (8 out of thousands if not even more).. nowadays, he has 99,9% of not submitted human creatures (8 millions jws out of 8 billions humans).. but he is considered a "good" god or father of his human creatures: why then is having submitted children a requirement for christians or for being considered "good" parents as jws?.
i mean: if he does not have more than 0,1% of submitted humans, how could i do better?

non conformity is the way of progress, without it, instead of getting ready going to mars, we would be still swinging in the trees. Ditching the talking snake follow up by the young and restless is a good start.

Is or was JEHOVAH GOD partial , and still is ?

whatabout all of the other bodies of people all around the earth at that time ?.

Who said the chosen were chosen? --the chosen.
It is like the wt quick builds, "only with the deity's spirit" . In the mean time, the mean worldly Chinese build hospitals, skyscrapers much quicker and more finished.
I once lived in a 1000 year reich. so these people said about themselves.
David, " a man according to the deity's heart" , so he said, an adulterous murderering war criminal.

JW.org missing the point of the last supper
by neat blue dog inof course most christians partake in different ways at different intervals (the bible never says strictly annual) but obviously the main point is christ's flesh and blood.
for jws the main attraction is the organization's sales pitch and in the new 2023 memorial invitation they pretty much admit it, quote:.
the main feature of the memorial is a talk.

Rattigan like Ratzinger (RIP), you are relying on old rules, but if you do that, then you have to be consistent, then
all members of the 12 tribes* have to be in the new covenant, partake, not just the kings and priests.
wt proclamation: "millions [of the 12 tribes] will never die" . so,
these non anointed never pay for their sins with their personal death, they need to have New Covenant ransom forgiveness of their sins more than the partakers who, at the latest, pass away to heaven at the outset of the Great Tribulation,
be generous, let them all have it. like Catholics, they all eat and drink the real thing, symbolically, thank you.
* Math.19:28.

earthly!)
all partakers at the last supper had an earthly hope, technically even Jesus, the second Adam, up until 40 days after his death. Acts 1:7, "establish kingdom [of Israel] now?"

Is it Logical To Beleive In A Creator - GOD ? In This Scientific Age ?
by smiddy3 ini don`t think so .
hasn`t science ,astronomy ,time , .....proven it an illogical beleif ?.
with the information about this solar system and it`s planets ,other stars and their planets that we have information about ,and the fact that no god has ever revealed him/her self in any shape or form 'there is no evidence that a creator / god has ever existed.. except in the minds of humans who want to control a section of humanity .. the fact that religions rely on "you have to have faith" to beleive in a god ,surely is a cop out.. i look forward to your comments .. and a happy new year to you all..

Logically though either the universe existed eternally or God existed eternally
wrong choice! the universe did not exist eternally, uncreated energy available to the creator is eternal though.
Now given the universe and then taking it away and creating a void for example to illustrate a condition without the universe, that is not logical
removing the universe would free the portion of energy locked up presently in spacetime & matter and return it to its pristine, pre-big -bang form, akin to the heat death of the universe. recycling the energy.
