Flee to the Mountains......What Mountains?

by liam in

may 2025 study article 21 seek the city that will remain.

what i remember was, when you see the romans, flee to the mountains.

now the wt is saying that's not enough.

13 For example, when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, “those . . . taking the lead” gave needed direction.

From what I saw/heard is that everything the WTS/GB said during that time is to do all the CDC and WHO said to do. Stay home, wear mask, take vax shot, etc.

If that is the case, then those who were taking the lead at that time were 'worldly government agencies'. That's who was directing JWs. So I guess the same is to be expected during the GT... listen and obey the 'worldly government agencies'.

I think originally it was she wants to talk to her, but the angels and her husband are saying don't because she is disfellowshipped.

Now it is supposed to be the angels are directing her to speak to her.

Just because Jehovah had to prove His Right To Rule? I don't think so!

by liam in

we get old because jehovah had to prove to all the angels that his way of ruling was the best?

that's the sorriest argument the watchtower has come up with.

Announcement of Elijah's Coming

by ElijahisMe in

it is with profound humility and reverence that i share a message of great significance.

in the year 2001, my son and i witnessed the birth of the kingdom of god, experiencing spiritual battles that affirm our divine calling.

as prophesied in the scriptures, my son is the elijah to come, the forerunner to jesus' second coming.. living in the wilderness by his own choosing, my son embodies the spirit and mission of elijah, preparing the way for the lord.

If Trump is the 8th king, who were kings 1-7?

When JW's say they are 'In the truth'...

by Ron.W. in

where did this phrase 'in the truth' come from?.

it's been around as long as i can remember.

is it from the time they were promoting 'the truth shall make you free' book back in 1943?

Duran

Where did this phrase 'In the truth' come from?

[6 Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.]

[ 3 For I rejoiced very much when brothers came and bore witness about the truth you hold, as you go on walking in the truth. 4 No greater joy do I have than this: that I should hear that my children go on walking in the truth.]

[ 9 But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10 and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11 That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, 12 in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.]

I want a marriage mate that’s a brother

by Lace83 in

hi, my name is leacy and i am 41 years old.

i live in california.

i attend the rancho santa margarita congregation.

Duran

I am looking for a brother that has things in common with me and that is spiritual.

JWs are not spiritual people, otherwise they would not be JWs. And what things do you want the brother to have in common with you...one that is also looking for a bearded man?

He doesn’t have to be an elder or a ministerial servant, but he has to love Jehovah wholeheartedly

No JWs love Jehovah wholeheartedly, that is reserved for their GB.

I am only attracted to white brothers

Nah, I am not believing that. You look like you been with a black guy before. Admit it!

I have a lot to give.

Looks that way, whatcha hiding behind that bag.

God promises us no suffering or punishment when we choose him.

So, you are saying that there are NO people alive right now that have choosing him that are suffering right now in their life's, is that right?

Didn't we already establish that there exists more than one spirit?

So, other spirits are responsible for the writing of the Koran and Morman book? And those spirits are talking to their hearts?

If that is the case, then does that mean that the spirit/god that is behind the writing of the Hebrew Scriptures is not the same as the one behind the Greek Scriptures?

@Duran
Havent you heard? Jesus said that he would die a sacrifical death to reconnect those who wanted it to the Source of Life. Then to prove he was God beyond any doubt he would raise himself from the dead, while he was still dead. Then he did it.

then all you have to do is provide some data to support the many fantastic atheist miracles they believe in

It must really suck to be you. How old are you? It is amazing that you can even put a sentence together. I can't believe people can be as foolish as you are.

Why do you keep speaking about atheist? Not believing in Jesus does not = being an atheist if one believes a god does exist/is the explanation of how we are here.

Is this a fact, a guy named Muhammad said he got revelations from god and then related them to others to write down and that is what became the Koran and the start of Islam...so I guess that is the religion/belief we are to have, right?

Is this a fact, a guy named Joesph was given gold plates by an angel and told to copy what was written on them and then the angel took back the gold plates leaving Joesph with just the copies which became the book of Mormon...so I guess that is the religion/belief we are to have, right?

My apologies, I believed you were asking if God had literally called my phone to talk to me. You are asking if he has spoken to me on a spiritual level then, meaning has he spoken to my heart?
Absolutely he has, his word is living. For example every time I read a gospel he speaks to my heart. So much so that it moves me to take action.

You're as bad as SB.

If you say that about reading a gospel but a Muslim or Morman says the same when they read the Koran or Book of Morman, do you believe god is speaking to their heart as well?

@Duran,
All people know God exists. There has never been a culture yet discovered without a belief in God. The evidence for God is seen by the things he has made. To deny this is to believe in miracles without a miracle worker.; which I might point out is infinitely more difficult to believe in...

You ask this with the belief that communication is only achieved thru speech. But you know already that this isn't true in the physical world. In fact all of us here are communicating perfectly well without speech. Without making a single sound.
"The word of God is living" for a reason.

Truely 2 weak answers from both of you based on what I asked and y'alls ability to defend your belief.

First, just because people believe god exist does not mean all believe in the same god. I listed 4 to 5 possible gods that are believed in.

I am simply asking for any that believe in YHVH or Jesus (rather as 2 or one in the same) if you believe them to be the god that created everything, how can you prove that is the case and how can you disprove that the creator of everything is not a result of one of the many other gods that people believe in?

Second, having to do with communication. You try to turn what I said and make it be about audio/sound only. And you use a caparison to us here being able to commutate with each other without sound. Your whole reply was just a waste of time and avoided answering what I asked:

Can anyone that believes in YHVH prove that he exists? Has he ever spoken to you?

I don't care if he spoke to you with sound/voice or not. As you point out we here speak/communicate by our writing of words.

My question is, has YHVH or Jesus ever communicated with you personally/directly?

Can you prove that YHVH or Jesus exists?

I am not saying that not being able to prove their existents proves there is not a god or gods that do exist. I am just asking for the sake of showing that if it can't be proving that the god you believe in does exist, and you can't disprove that the gods that you don't believe in, that they don't exist, then how do you know that it is your god that exist, but not the other gods?
