7Jw Broadcasting Sept 24 : Making up stories about Miriam
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/mvhvtxh3fn0?si=yw_pszgyh8xvmoy8.
so the following video is part of the latest jw broadcasting for september 2024 the script for this video is taken from the publication "immitate their faith" which is like "my book of bible stories" but for adults but is full of inaccuracies and outright falsehoods and here we deal with an outright fabrication about miriam, the sister of moses:.
under the subtitle "miriam the proud" we read: privileges and prominence bring blessings as well as dangers.

Why did God stop intervening in human affairs and deliverance of his people?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe bible is full of stories of god intervening on behalf of those that had trust and faith in him.
he rescues his people from various battles, trials and challenges from their enemies.
the rescued individuals or communities are quick to offer praise and gratitude to god for his mighty acts on their behalf.. the story of the israelites’ exodus from egypt and the parting of the red sea is a prime example of god’s powerful deliverance in the bible.

God Never intervene!
These are just ancient stories.
God never parted the Red Sea.
God never stopped hungry lions from eating an old man named Daniel
And the wall of Jericho never fell because of Trumpet blasts.
Goliath was not 10 ft tall. David was probably 5ft and a couple of inches tall and Goliath was 5ft 9" maybe. Men tend to exaggerate how tall they are throughout history.
And a Donkey didn't have a conversation with Balaam because Donkeys can't talk....Unless it's Shrek's donkey.
And that's why God didn't intervene to stop Hitler from killing Millions of innocent men, women and children.
And that's why God didn't stop humans from inventing the Atomic Bomb and disintegrating two cities.
And that's why Gold won't stop a nuclear war from wiping out most of humanity.
Everything bad that happens is because of us humans and who we put in power. Don't vote Harris!

In this age of free information everywhere, I don't understand why young 18 year old and above are still reaching out to be ministerial servants and elders?
There's no excuse. And if they volunteer to go to Bethel to work for free, it's on them.

I'm a gen Z so I had no idea what the WT used to recommend for a healthy diet.
Base on the information I have received today, found all over the internet, I eat two meals a day. In the morning I eat a 16oz Rib-eye or a New York Steak, 8 oz milk, and one egg.
For lunch at around 2PM, I eat about 16 oz of chicken, 8 oz of milk, and one veggie.
Nothing else, including snacks, until next morning.
I don't eat bread, no corn or flour tortillas, or any process food. No fast food, like hot-dogs, burgers, or pizza.
Once in a while I will cook my own ground beef, and mix it with lettuces, tomato, pickles, and a little mustered, no bread.
I eat fruit for dessert from time to time
I eat this over and over and never get tired of it.
I have lots of energy all day long and I go to sleep within two minutes when I go to bed. Wake up around 5 am every morning, and work out for about 45 minutes Monday - Friday.
I never gotten the flu, got Covid for a few hours and was fine the next day.
But I'm not sure if it's because of healthy living or because I'm still Young.

Is 1st Century advice on marriage still relevant in today’s modern world?
by liam inrepublicans want to make a law that forbids ‘uncontested divorce”.
they based this on this scripture.. matthew 19. is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”.
4 “haven’t you read,” jesus replied, “that at the beginning the creator ‘made them male and female,’and said, ‘for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ so they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Liam, please read The Handmaids Tale, by Margaret Atwood. Then comment further
LOL, do people still read?
I don't even see movies anymore that are longer than a hour.I can't sit through them
Maybe there's a video somewhere on YouTube that will give me the run down in 10 minutes or less.
I remember my parents taking me to conventions for days, and I hated it because it was too long to be in one place listening to a bunch of dull speakers.
I've been told that I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
So the way I learn is through YouTube videos and podcasts. Sometime I break them into pieces no longer than 30 minutes.
That's how I I learned trigonometry in a month, by watching YouTube videos
And YouTube videos was the way I passed all my classes in College. I don't believe a person needs to go to College anymore unless they want to do something that requires a license, like Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer, etc. There's to many ways to make money without a degree.

Liam,
Have you forgotten that in the 2016 election Hillary Clinton decisively won the popular vote over Donald Trump? He won only because of the Electoral Collage.
I didn't forget, in fact, that's why I put that video on the Electoral College. It explains why in all honesty, it's possible that the masses voting doesn't really matter.
In all reality, the USA political system is a Oligarchy. But the Political leaders, the media, and the Educational system, con the masses into believing it's a true Democracy. It's not a true Democracy, it's an Oligarchy.
Oligarchy; is a conceptual form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people may or may not be distinguished by one or several characteristics, such as nobility, fame, wealth, education, or corporate, religious, political, or military control.

Voting, why make it easier to vote??
by moomanchu indemocrats are always harping on and on about voting rights and how the ability to vote should be easier and access unrestricted.
the most progressive ones want to allow prisoners, and illegals with no voter id the ability to vote along with the criminals, drug addicts, and uneducated low lives who already can vote.. .
after they push for everyone and anyone to be able to vote they then tell us it is a sacred privilege, a duty and honor, and a big responsibility blah, blah ect..... if it is all those grandiose things are true i think it should be harder to vote not easier.

Scully why not open up voting to criminals in prison, ex-cons
Criminals can vote!
Here are some examples.
Incarcerated people from Maine, Vermont, and Washington, DC, can vote from prison
In 23 states, those with felony convictions automatically regain the right to vote when they are released from prison.
In 14 states, people formerly incarcerated for felonies automatically regain the right to vote after completing their entire sentence, including probation or parole

Are you glad you got the Covid Vaccine? Did it help?
by liam ini didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.
practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.
now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.

Lost aoul
by LostSoulUK inhi everyone, i just joined and i have been lost a long time, growing up i was a witness with my mum.
i walked away when i was older, did drugs, sex, travelling all my life never stopping anywhere more than 3 months my entire life, relationship after relationship, pain and hurt after pain and hurt.
i always felt like there was something missing, and tried to find what it was.

I think you are having some kind of crisis. Probably because you were a witness with you mom, and then walked away and jumped in the frying pan with drugs, sex, etc.
That happens a lot to jws who were told Armageddon is coming soon and a paradise earth is just around the corner.
I was raised a witness too, but never really accepted it. Like you I also need evidence that Armageddon by God is coming soon but there really is no evidence, just a book with ancient stories that most of the Western world would argue it’s God inspired word, yet most don’t really read it or follow it.
I think the fact that you have a daughter is a good thing. You have someone that depends on you. So you need to make sure she understands the world she was brought in.
That means you need to start researching subjects like history, religion, human nature, evolution, and subjects that will help you understand why the world is like it is. You also need to understand why God is not coming to save us. Also stay away from drugs, meaningless sex, self harm, and get help if you are thinking of suicide.
Be patient and try not to despair so much. The Watchtower religion is not really a good environment to grow in. It’s a religious Doomsday cult that cultivates fear on it members. That’s why you mum and brother are trying hard to get you back into the religion. They really believe Armageddon by God is coming soon. And they believe God is going to kill Billions of people.
As far as violence in the world and volcanoes, and earthquakes, those things have been happening long before the bible was even written. There hasn’t been a century in history where some catastrophic event hasn’t happened. And who knows what catastrophic event might happen in our time. But that’s no reason you should stop from enjoying the things life offers. Life can be amazing.
And you are right, the universe is a huge place. With thousands of galaxies bigger than our Milky Way Galaxy and with more Solar Systems bigger than our Solar System. Who knows if different lifeforms exist out there smarter than us.
Life is really amazing. You need to make the time to continue seeing and learning about it.

The average development timeline for the vaccine, including clinical tests and manufacturing, can take 8 to 12 years. Through Operation Warp Speed, we’re doing it in less than one year
When Covid hit, I didn't mind people taking it, more power to them.
What I did mind was people putting pressure on me to take it. I never took it, I got covid, and got a little sick for about a day. The next day I was fine. I thought perhaps I didn't get Covid. Went to my Dr. to check if I had the Covid antibodies. He said I had to wait a while before checking. I waited about three months and got checked, and I had the Covid antibodies. Meaning I did get Covid and developed immunity naturally.
So to each his own, his/her body, their choice.
