"outside of time" argument
by Blotty inthis is going to be very brief but a user recently tried to argue an argument that has already been refuted many times - the logic is somewhat sound but falls apart when the definition to the word used it looked and its usages in the bible.the word in question is "aionas" found in the scripture in question hebrews 1:2 .
(https://biblehub.com/hebrews/1-2.htm#lexicon)for starters look at the biblehub translations - do any of them state "outside of time" or that time was "created" in this moment - no because this seems to be heavily inspired by greek philosophy rather than the bible itself.note: i am not saying this word does not mean eternity or anything of the sort, i am saying this scripture some of the claims i dispute and can easily disprove, hence the argument is laughable.. bill mounce defines the word as:pr.
a period of time of significant character; life; an era; an age: hence, a state of things marking an age or era; the present order of nature; the natural condition of man, the world; ὁ αἰών, illimitable duration, eternity; as also, οἱ αἰῶνες, ὁ αἰῶν τῶν αἰώνων, οἱ αἰῶνες τῶν αἰώνων; by an aramaism οἱ αἰῶνες, the material universe, heb.

The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".
by smiddy3 ini`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.
2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.
4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

What I want to know is why the WT/ JW organization has said that AM111 is no longer one of the GB members .
They have their reasons for this demotion but apparently the R&F are not privvy to that information ,why not ?
What is it about the secrecy of AM111 no longer being a GB member ? and why ?
Please explain WT/ JW ,we have a right to know.

Jesus' instruction for the witnessing work in Luke 24
by Kosonen injesus told simply and plainly what he wanted his disciples should go and preach about.
he said the same day he went up to heaven in luke 24:46-48.
46 and he said to them, “this is what is written: that the christ would suffer and rise from among the dead on the third day, 47 and on the basis of his name, repentance for forgiveness of sins would be preached in all the nations—starting out from jerusalem.

But of course I believe that Jesus will have help from 144000 kings and priests to rule over mankind for 1000 years.
Can you just imagine that ?
144,000 and one , different opinions on how to rule over mankind for a thousand years ?
Babylon`s experience will pale into insignificance if that ever takes place !

As already mentioned by others, move on and create a good life for yourself, involving people who like, respect and love you for who you are now.
I think that sums it up nicely
And as someone else said you don`t need toxic people in your life. move on.
It`s their loss if you are not in their life anymore.

Conscience Issues
by NotFormer inthought inspired by my post on tattoos: within the watchtower organisation, how many "conscience issues" actually are?
are people who actually do exercise their consciences in grey areas painting a target on their backs for the more hard-line dubs?
are they quietly avoided because " bad associations spoil useful habits"?

smoking ?
Alcohol ?
soft drugs ?
I personally new of Elders and MS, who smoked and drank alcohol ,how much is too much and how little can we get away with ?

When people in this world stop taking what the Bible says as gospel " truth" we can all move on and prosper and not be kept back by religious superstition.
