If god is 'almighty' and already know he is good and great, why would he need or want billions of others to constantly tell him so 3 or 4 times each day?

when asked: “why there is so much of suffering here if god exists?” buddha responded with silence because he knew the following:.
1) even though living in heaven, anyone can live as though he lives in hell and vice versa which means how a person thinks is the key.
experience show that whatever a person does with 100% involvement (totality = beauty), it is like he lives in heaven.
If god is 'almighty' and already know he is good and great, why would he need or want billions of others to constantly tell him so 3 or 4 times each day?

abraham was part of the 9th generation as a descendent of shem.
yet, their lives overlapped by 150 years.
yep, they were of the same generation!
This all sounds 'degenerating' to me!
And I believe that the whole concept of "overlapping" originated when the majority of the gb looked down and noticed the "new (light)" relationship between at their belly and their belt.

a thought occurred that there is a danger in thinking we know everything, or have it all figured out in life.
especially when it comes to matters of doctrine or faith.. witnesses (or at least the society as a whole) are so self-confident, so proud to be the only ones who know "the truth" about everything to do with the universe, the earth, our past and our future, that pride kicks in.
and pride is dangerous...(.and before a fall).
The more I know, the more I realize how little the wt organization really knows spiritual things. What the early wt leaders, i.e. Russell and Rutherfraud, really knew was that religion was a good business. They taught their followers that they, and no one else had the 'troof' which made their followers very elite. The elite status of "knowing the troof" is very intoxicating. Sobering up and the 'hang over'--not so good!

who are leading the governing body?
who is in charge of them?
i don't mean the shareholders.
Oh my goodness, you mean to tell me that "Holy Spirit" isn't leading them? Well this changes everything!

why are you guys so obsessed with organizations?
there has to be order in the world and organised people!
History bears out that the wt organization is extremely obsessed with discrediting every other 'organization' on earth except the wt. Therefore, it is equally incumbent on those who have first hand knowledge and experience to use whatever means available to expose the wt organization for what it really is.
In all "fairness" to the corrupt wt organization, all other religious 'organizations' are no doubt the same! It's just that we on this forum have personal (bad) experience with wt.

when the lord is pleased with your work, he blesses your efforts.. about 8 million jws and that hasn't changed in years?
.
if the wts is the mouthpiece of the lord, then wouldn't there be some signs and wonders?.
The blessings are 'invisible' and 'overlapping'.

so we have this ridiculous teaching of an overlapping generation, something the bible clearly does not teach.
if this has been mentioned before i apologize.
but it's interesting that at the start of matthew we go through the genealogy of jesus.
It's like the serious trouble that many big name politicians get themselves into. It's not the original LIE that causes the trouble to get so serious, it's the "cover up" that exacerbates the problem!
When you fu*k up just admit it, ask forgiveness (people forget real soon) and then move on. Lying to "cover up" just keeps the controversy going!

l was wondering if others have noticed this or is just my imagination?my sister whom has always been a fine example of a dub just got married to an outsider was a shock to everyone as no one knew she was dating an outsider.she seems happy.the elders are to shit scared of her to approach her about the matter.
They are 'forbidden' to marry any 'brother' who is over 23 and is not a MS or Tony will be pissed! When jesus' brother speaks, jw women listen! yea right!

I'm with you bro! Every sane, logical, reasonable person on earth knows that a human generation covers a relatively short period of time.
It's the same way I have always felt about the 144,000 being shoved down our throats as a literal number when every other number in revelation is symbolic. lol
Bullsh*t comes in many flavors!
