  Why did Jehovah choose false prophet apostates as his chosen earthly organization (1919) ?

  by Rocketman123 in

  from a theological and biblical perspective, this has to be asked and critically examined.. the doctrines this organization and its self described fdsl (gb) chosen ones has preached and taught have now more than ever have shown to be false teachings.. the bible warns of false prophets and those who say things that god has not given them to say but the wts from its earliest beginning made proclamations such as jesus's return in 1874.. so if one were to faithfully adhere to what the bible says and more so jesus's instructions for preaching his gospel of a new kingdom to come, who really are jws loyal to, the wts.

  and its top leading men or jesus and jehovah ??

  If one were to go back and research the activity of the IBSA with C T Russell you can see an element of ignorance mixed with bit of speculative hype.

  Russell placed so much money into the WTS. that men were chasing after it and the subsequent power established within the WTS both as a corporation and a organization.

  This no doubt instigated the prevailing necessity to lie and create a structured preaching Gospel to enhance the proliferation of literature for what the WTS. was going to publish.
  

  As the say the rest is history.

  Why did Jehovah Kill all the animals in the flood? What purpose did it serve??

  some of my jw family that is waking up posed that question to my jw family that is still hanging on to jw belief.. the stepbrother that posed that question told me;.

  "in all these years of being a jw, i actually never gave it much thought as to why jehovah had to kill millions of innocent animals that had nothing to do with mankind becoming evil.".

  i keep picturing in my mind, all the baby puppies and kitties that were destroyed by jehovah.

  The ancients, the originators of compelling over the top bullshit, particularly when it came to telling stories about their gods, such as how great and powerful they were.

  In a lot of respects the battle between who's god is the almightiest still goes on to this day and who is their favorite ............Hint !

  Reminder re: Spammers

  just a reminder about spammers.. please ignore them!.

  they are idiots, we have a real "gay-for-j" zealot right now who hasn't got the message that they are not wanted and no one is interested in their bible-fantasy gibberish.

  there's a certain irony that their own site is covered in "don't spam" rules but they think it's acceptable to do it to others.

  Dancing Cockatoo, Living His Best Life, a Lesson For All of Us

  by Simon in

  so this is a sad story, i believe the cockatoo was neglected after his owner died (relatives just kept it locked up and the cage covered) so it plucked its feathers.

  the new owners rescued it and are giving it the care, love, and attention it needs.. they discovered that it loves to dance so they share these adorable videos of it rocking out.. it reminded me what a great lesson there is for all of us - don't wallow in the past, live your best life now and enjoy your new freedom and be happy.. be like griffi.. also, it has way better moves than me.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayos5kvlxn8.

  Its seeing sights like the first Cockatoo "Griffi " that makes me think birds should be left in the wild the way nature made them to be.

  Will You Get Back To Normal After Covid Subsides?

  some say we will never get back to pre-pandemic days.

  others say we should expect to live with masks and social distancing as the “new normal “.

  still others are hopeful that we can live life realizing there might never be an end to covid or cancer or influenza but our lives must continue to go on.

  Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, called the assertion that the coronavirus originated in a lab “a circular argument.”

  “If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what’s out there now,” there’s a strong scientific case that “this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated,” Fauci said in an interview with National Geographic. “Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species.”

  The Office of the Director of National Intelligence had previously issued a statement to the same effect: “The intelligence community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified.”

  “All available evidence to date suggests that the virus has a natural animal origin and is not a manipulated or constructed virus,” Dr. Gauden Galea said in an interview released by the WHO. “Many researchers have been able to look at the genomic features of the virus and have found that evidence does not support that it is a laboratory construct.”

  The probability of a virus like this escaping a controlled lab is extremely low.

  The probability of animals such as wild bats brought to a wet shop for sale in a highly condensed market place with both other animals and humans is a much higher probability.

  The Chinese government realizes this so that's why this newly enforced ban.

  There is a theory that the Wuhan lab created the virus itself and there was an accidental contamination to someone working there and that's how the virus spread to the open public but the supporting evidence of that is weak.

  Did you read those articles I just posted Min. ?

  Maybe they came from trees ?

  Bat soup isn't the issue, its wild bats having a version of the virus passing it onto other animals, then passing it onto humans as receptors.

  . Infectivity experiments were undertaken with HeLa cells expressing or not expressing ACE2 from humans, bats, civets, pigs and mice, and the results confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 virus was able to use entry receptors on all ACE2-expressing cells other than mice5. Molecular modelling has indicated that the binding affinity of SARS-CoV-2 to ACE-2 may be even higher than that of SARS-CoV and it may therefore be more efficient at infecting human cells17. Evidence from the sequence analyses clearly indicates that the reservoir host of the virus was a bat, probably a Chinese or Intermediate horseshoe bat, and it is probable that, like SARS-CoV, an intermediate host was the source of the outbreak

  It’s been confirmed that the outbreak stemmed from a wholesale meat market in Wuhan. The virus was found in the area where live animals were kept, according to a 2020 articleTrusted Source from the journal Microbiology Australia.

  This doesn’t mean that the virus began in the market, though. It only means the market played a role in spreading the virus. In fact, a 2020 studyTrusted Source in the Lancet found that 14 of the first 41 people confirmed to have COVID-19 didn’t visit the market. This suggests there are other sources.

  According to a study shared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it’s possible that bats with the new coronavirus were introduced to the market. This might have allowed recombination, or viruses exchanging genetic material to create a new virus.

  Therefore, bats may have played a role in the COVID-19 outbreak
