wow this is interesting!
i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.
they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.
Friday 6-12, Jesus was loyal to the supposed "Jehovah's organisation" still in force in his day, but that did not stop him from exposing the errors of the establishment in no uncertain terms and actions. That is the kind of loyalty I can live with. and
It reminds me of the rallying talks in the Nazi propaganda in 1945. Does wt think their demise is that close?
Treue & Ruhe ist die erste Buergerpflicht!
watchtower teaches that soon there will be a huge development that will be a sign for jehovah's witnesses!
5:3 the watchtower magazine, principle journal of jehovah's witnesses, writes.... however, just before that day of jehovah begins, world leaders will be saying “peace and security!” this may refer to one event or to a series of events.

Yes, stop looking for signs! "Whenever" as in multiple and always, ...NOT 'when' as in a singular event...
deserves repeating. or multiple and always or "--every time--
i thought this would be a good time to pose some questions based on the series so far.. if creationism is true these should be easy.
answers that don't involve copy-paste would be really interesting to read.. ... .
1. since some proteins can be assembled in more ways than there are atoms in the universe why do the sequences of amino acids and bases vary between species in exactly the way evolution predicts?
I am going to second tornapart on his contribution, and will go further by saying that
The evolutionary process that followed abiogenesis, that was allowed by the creation event, would require more genius to set up then the hands- on workshop tinkering that the bible portrays, and cofty seems to be fond of indirectly attacking. It takes better work to build an autonomous system then a remote control device, and creation as far as we know, is totally on autopilot. a deist's take.
Cofty's challenge proves evolution works, but it does not prove that evolution is not work.
i thought it had to be done on nisan 14????.
nisan 14 isn't until april 22nd.
does this have anything to do with an intercalary month being added to the jewish calendar this year or something?
Cheeto: Question : the new moon AFTER the spring equinox. +14 or
the new moon CLOSEST to the spring equinox + 14 ?
PS: at least the wednesday date has an eclipse as a bonus.
l have a problem with this.lf adam and eve didnt sin the earth would eventually have been full to the brim with perfect human beings.then what every man gets the chop or no more sex?then on the other hand we have the jw's sayingresurrected ones will not be allowed to marry in the earthly new system.. married survivors of armageddon will remain married.
single survivors of armageddon may or may not be allowed to marry.so it seems that people reborn into new system wont be able to procreate.
and married survivors will stay married so l assume that means they can still hanky panky and have babys thats a bit unfair..the earth can only accommodate a maximum number of humans then what for the married couples.
Cold Steel: "-- sacrifice the key element of their religion, which is Christ,--" That key element is just a consequence of the talking snake story, the fall. Without that bit of detail, that real key element, there would be no need for a "Christ", a ransom. All creation is really as good as it is. deal with it.

Muddy Waters: "Hahaha!! I got curious and looked up the Memorial day texts. These texts (reprints from previous wt articles), are designed to confuse (Muddy the Waters) the readers about the distinction between New Covenant and Kingdom Covenant. The only connection of the Kingdom covenant and the Memorial is, that one of the two occasions on which it was brought up by Jesus happened after the supper, on the way to the garden, (the other was months earlier}. All followers of Jesus are supposed to be in the New Covenant, just as all Israelites, not just the kings, or priests were in the "old" covenant.
As if it mattered, with no talking snake. I am tempted to have the emblems passed by, over me from neighbour to neighbour besides me.
enjoy your friends and families company as your annointed even if you are df i guess thst applies to everyone

i saw a 'news' article today about pizza hut (i think) delivering pizzas via a robotic vehicle in nz.
also another article headline saying it is not a question of if, but when.
my immediate thought was, why?
it occurred to me while at today's wt study that over 100 people were wasting an hour of their life studiously examining the differences between two delusions, paradise earth and the heavenly hope.
everyone made it sound so serious when in reality it means nothing at all.
either choice is wrong and foolish nonsense.. it was mentioned that mark sanderson found his heavenly calling at very young age.
They did not read Rev 20 in its entirety. had they read that one has to die by the ax for witnessing to Jesus, that the "anointed" will not die in bed, but on the guillotine, to rule with Christ, that should dampen the enthusiasm of a few to go to heaven,
Monday's text will show them too that for the R&F, jesus is not their mediator.
