Jehovah's witnesses believe that God sent humans to write the bible because his servants can relate better to humans since they are humans. I heard that at a meeting two weeks ago. It does not make sense to me at all but I do not know how to explain it. a little help please.

Kingdom chorus
by looter inso im at the meeting after its over and this elder says to me that god needs my voice because he, the elder, feels that my singing is not loud enough.
i did not tell him this, but singing just is not my thing.
he then went on saying how gods people are better singers than "the worlds singers".

New forum 'parousia' is upon us! (software version)
by Simon inthe time has nearly come to switch over to the new forum software.
of course it's not completely finished yet (and never will be) but i think it's good enough to go live with and probably already better than the current one.
i'll give you a quick overview of what to expect and post more detail about the changeover process later.. cloud platform.

Men are not looking forward to becoming Elders or Ministerial Servants
by Hidden-Window ini have noticed an apparently increasing number of men who are not interested in becoming ministerial servants or elders.
i also know of some that have voluntarily stepped down (which is my case) for no obvious solid reason.. i remember, during my teenage years or even during my twenties, the brothers were always looking forward to being appointed... although many still do, i have noticed there are many others with whom you do not know what the deal is.. since there is no freedom of speech within the organization, we remain in the dark about the motives and desires of everybody else.
i attend a congregation with only two ministerial servants, while it is full of men who do not seem to be willing to do more.. it is hard to tell exactly what is going on, since honesty is not possible while you are inside, but i am starting to think that more and more are becoming disillusioned.... .

This will continue being the case for long term. A born-in may have his life dream to become and elder and serve at bethel or bethal. Then by the time he is 19, his life dream is to get a tattoo. I truely think there are more people having doubts than ever. And with the internet's truths about wt/ jw dot org they will continue to seek the true truth. Replying to TD, it possibly can be a lack of ambition but you have to remember that they don't seek achievement because most of us feel or use to feel that everything is already achieved. They know God, Jesus, GB, and are baptized. I guess the only thing they are looking forward to is living in paradise and see life at the present as merely being recreational garbage time. But I'm not sure of this but you do make sense of this.

YOU 'THINK' YOU ARE FREE when you leave the Org. . . but it can be an ILLUSION
by Terry indid you know there is nothing more insane than being partly indoctrinated and partly free?.
the level of cognitive dissonance is ridiculous!.
i have told this story before, so i'll shorten it to cut to the chase.. in 1987, i was dating a professional psychotherapist with a view to marriage.

"I've done that to people plenty of times. Now whereever I go, I just leave out that information as if those years never happened and I don't know anything about the bible. It also saved me from stressful conversations." Just avoiding the bible at all cost does it for me. No need to talk about information that you use to blindly believe.

Is this why the book is grey?
by Doug Mason inthe 2014 revised edition of "what does the bible really teach?
" uses the text of the 2013 nwt.
i therefore assume this is the reason for the grey colour of the "bible teach" book.. examples of the adjustments appear at pages 216 and 217 of the book:.

You can also consider pretty much all biblical wars and genocides. (if they are true, and some are)

False religion and Satan has caused the problems in the world today including Israel. But when you take the time to learn the truth, it will set you free. Revelations 12:9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
