Of course not.
If he did what purpose would that serve?
Predestination makes no sense
God is not all knowing. He does not know the future beyond what he wants to know or plans to do.

Why are the 2 newly appointed Governing Body Members from Bethel, when there are anointed ones all over the world? they could have used.

There are no more anointed ones left in the world. One does not have to be anointed by holy spirit to be on the Governing body, one just has to say one was.

My decision.
by MissDaSilva ini’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.
i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.
amazing what information you find when you start researching.. i’m writing my letter and posting it to the kingdom hall this morning.

jhine, why does what Paul wrote matter? However, they at that time didn't have the stories so the memorial was their way of remembering and since Paul was a historian, he used the history that he knew.
Even then it only applied to the people of his day, those that were anointed with holy spirit.

We were never instructed to observe the memorial.
Jesus only told the 11 that was there. They were the only ones who could keep doing that in remembrance of him because they were the only ones with memories of him.
None of us today have memories of Jesus. None of us walked and talked with him. We only know him because we read stories of him. So to remember him, we just reread the stories.

new world publisher (nw publisher) is a free apple ios and google android app created by jehovah’s witnesses for jehovah’s witnesses.
congregation publishers can install new world publisher on their mobile devices and be more united and connected with their congregation.. cartsmart was built to streamline the way we schedule our public witnessing shifts.

CartSmart was built to streamline the way we schedule our public witnessing shifts. It's goal is to provide the congregation with a hassle free way of finding and scheduling their shifts for public witnessing, and to give the servant body an easy way to let the congregation know what is available, and to simplify the scheduling process.
Jehovah help us all. This religion is not what we've grown up in is totally unrecognizable. -

I remember back in 1976 when I was a kid the songs "Devil Woman" and "Magic Man" were considered bad. Also Paul McCartney's "With a little Luck". I've always liked that song, but couldn't let others know.
Now with this thought of Jehovah being offended by violent movies, etc -

I'm watching the meeting on Zoom and several elders look like they are growing beards. Unless it is just bad lighting and pixelation.
Do they not realize that bearded Spock existed in the evil mirror universe, for a reason. -

Please stop talking about the 1969 Awake article. The writer is long dead. So what is the point of beating a dead horse on and on?
That writer is not currently writing for the WTS.

The issue is that people just don't care about their appearances anymore. They would rather be rebels, without a cause.

What is worse: 1914 or Beard change
by Gorb inwhat is worse for jw's: changing the 1914 doctrine or allowing beards without the right to say what their opinion is?.
g..

There is nothing wrong with 1914. It is solid doctrine that preceded the governing body, Rutherford, Russell, etc.
The beard thing is going to create divisions because people like me are conservative on that. Not in a religious sense, but as Lett said back in the 60s people started growing their hair out of rebellion. I'm for being a rebel, but a rebel with a cause. Bad grooming is not a good cause.
