Yan, I get your point, but God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

Terry,
Did you ever consider that flooding the earth was done for more than one reason?
God forced the fallen angels to return to the Spirit Realm by flooding the Earth. The flood served as a dual purpose because it was also a judgment for those living on the planet. The angels that committed themselves to flesh and blood were connected to a virtual death with them unless they dissolved the human vessel and severed their chords. If God had chosen not to permit a searing of the chord when they dematerialized they would have been spent energy. Once the fallen angels had dissolved their fleshly containers and were back in the Spirit Realm, they were stripped of the power to materialize again in the fashion they had once possessed.

Serious discussion: Why our Brain cannot take us to God
by Terry inwe have brains and can think.. when we talk about god we leave behind material, physical sensible "things".
it is the voice of intellect not brain.
the proof is in the pudding.. the voice of god would not be mans voice.. intellect is our vehicle and it is not the atoms of a meat brain, nor vegetables nor poetry.

Terry,
I understand what you are saying, but it comes down to this.
The scientific mind cannot grasp the invisible spirit realm and its Creator because they think in terms of human logic. That’s why God says they cannot come to fully know or understand how it works. They are stuck in a rut of simplistic human minds. What they seek to find out scientifically does not exist on a chart or scale that they can ever come to understand.
The scientist Michael Faraday is considered to be one of the greatest physicists. When questioned on his speculations of a life after death, Faraday replied: “Speculations? I know nothing about speculations. I’m resting on certainties. I know that my Redeemer lives, and because He lives, I shall live also.”

Why don't the Watchtower just say that Jehovah's chariot is moving to Walkill because of the toll increases on the bridges and tunnels.

Evil Spirits
by LizLA indoes anyone on this forum have knowledge about casting out demons or evil spirits?
there's at least two of them that have been harrasing me even before i was a jw.
i recently attended a deliverance church to find some help but it was apparent that the holy spirit was missing from that church.

Personally, I don't see how burning sage and other strange cleansing rituals help get rid of demons/evil spirits.
Firstly, Jesus never did any of this, he used his power and the apostles asked for holy spirit to cast out the demons.
Do you really think that a spirit creature made up of exotic matter, who can cast and shape shift is going to be affected by herbs? They can walk through walls and doors.
I believe they exist. And they can cast images, because thought is gasoline to the body. They become whatever they wish to be. Thought is what gives them their arms and legs. Everything else is theatrics.

Is the Watchtower so assured of its members' loyalty it can do and say as it pleases?
by truthseeker ini don't know how any of you feel about this, but is it possible the watchtower society is so self-assured of its members' loyalty that it no longer cares what it says or does anymore?.
one example would be the constant admonition to practically worship the faithful and discreet slave.. another is changing the end of the calling of the anointed from 1935 to no fixed date, allowing the number of anointed to be at its highest for over 40 years.. what about the overlapping generations?
most non-jws, if pointed out the inconsistencies, would see the folly of this latest understanding, yet the rank and file swallow it, hook, line and sinker.. such changes are almost blatant, in your face, yet where is the anger, the rage, at yet another move of the goal posts?.

Is the WT so confident of the loyalty of its sheep that it no longer cares about its reputation?

I can hardly believe what I'm reading...sick.
These JW elders are criminals - the Society is criminal in its actions. Absolutely despicable.
