Something else, Captain Mercury might have said to the human .
" I`ve travelled through time ,the universe ,and dimensions ,to get here and I have never seen ,met ,or ever heard of Jehovah, Jesus, or Holy spirit ?

even though i'm disfellowshiped ( & i belive wrongfully so).
i still belive this is the truth.
i have been d'f for about 8 months now and working on reinstatement.
What makes you think there is a "true" religion in existence ? Can`t your brain comprehend that there doesn`t have to be a religion that is true ?
They could be all false / fake.
Religion ,and I mean all faiths of religion not just Christianity ,could very well be a concept of man as another way to control human thinking .
If people do wrong they can be prosecuted ,fined jailed ,punished by the secular authorities , whereas religion see`s you being punished by a GOD even in the after-life ,once you have died for evermore ,it`s just another way of controlling humans to be good and not be a problem to other humans or the governments.
It`s not just Christianity that doesn`t have the true religion ,no other faiths in the world have either.
Take care sue ,and please think,..... use your brain.
in case you missed it at the time.
do you know what caused the vicious and violent 1994 rwandan genocide?
the wt 95 1/1 pp 5-10 revealed the answer.
Why would Satan be concerned about any increase of JW`s when he knows full well that they are a cult religion ?
And are just as misled as any other religion Christian or otherwise ?
Whatever the reasons political or otherwise it certainly was not because of any increase in the JW religion as if it was THE religious truth.
i have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.
to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.
to break the law?.

To break the law?
Isn`t it a crime to willfully destroy evidence that could be used in a court of law ?
Surely Elders are not dumb enough not to know their would
/ could be consequences if they obeyed these instructions ?
I am right here aren`t I in posing these questions ?
Any Elders here want to weigh in and comment ? and of course anybody else.?
Thank you punkofnice,
You learn something everyday on this forum.
selena vertolomo, former jehovah's witnesses who was sexually abused in watchtower, went to visit tony morris in north carolina.
selena and her sister call in and explain their position.
callers dial in from around the world and ask plenty of questions.
If what she says is true ,why hasn`t she gone to the police ?Authorities? ,instead of just turning up the way she did to someone who couldn`t give a shit ?
That`s my Q!
canada has universal healthcare.
the consensus is that america never will.
can anyone explain why, please?
Here in Australia elderly people have access to My aged care packages and allotted different monies for different levels of care to help them live as normal a life as possible.
It`s a great Govt. scheme and much appreciated by my wife and myself .
so what's been going on in wt land since january 2023?.
recap and summary of events most jehovah’s witnesses are not aware of:.
1) pennsylvania attorney general statewide investigation of jehovah’s witness elders' child sex abuse cases.
noteworthy is none of the above WT related embarrassing & negative developments appear on WT's news website
That`s not surprising ,I wonder what else can go wrong for them in the next 4 months ?
it's an interesting thought.
if you are an ex jw, presumably dfed, and you see a current jw in good standing engaging in behaviour that would concern their elders, would you pass on that information to interested parties?
do accusations from exes and other outsiders carry any weight?
No
are we living in the prophetic last days that will climax into armageddon?
if this is true then how long should it take?
as jw saw it, wt compared timing to within a generation using 70 ad as a parallel.
Sue sure, this world has a hell of a lot of problems , in all matters of life and morality .
But that just doesnt mean Jehovah`s Witnesses have the answers to all of lifes problems.
If you want to help sort out youth`s problems about sex and gender etc,etc. Good for you .
Get involved with some community group in your area, that deals with helping youth making sense of all this.
The Jehovah`s witnesses have no programs in helping youth`s or adults in crisis situations ,all they will say is wait on jehovah !
Big help that is.
The world has a lot of programs you can be involved in to help vulnerable people ,people with disabilities ,people with mental issues ,drug and alcohol problems ,young families struggling to cope ,the list goes on and on .
If your so concerned get involved with any one of these as jehovah`s witnesses wont get involved in any of these programs , they will just wait on Jehovah . A copout.
