what does she know about my relationship with jehovah?
it was followed up by a bunch of links to jw org problem is dialog is not possible her side is the only one to be heard.
Intellectually I know you are both right. However...
my heart is sickened by this one sided self righteous attitude That my family has. They feel free to comment on my relationship with Jehovah any time they see fit but will not even listen if I try to point out inconsistencies from the Jehovahs witnesses own publications.

How should I respond
Hey BrainflossI was so glad to hear from you I loved seeing pictures of your family. I’m not good at expressing my self but I do know I love you and want the best for you. It made my heart rejoice to spend time with you when $&)($ was little. And when you came to Florida when the boys were teenagers. I want to be able to do that with you in paradise. Get to know you and your family and all my siblings my mother my children my husband so many others .But Jehovah wants us to draw close to him. He’s our creator and knows what’s best for us. We all have the time now. Jehovah knows our heart. He drew you to him because he saw something desirable in you. Jehovah’s Universal sovereignty and sanctification of his name is the most important thing but our salvation is closely tied to it. And his promises are always fulfilled. I long for the day when Jehovah’s promise of a resurrection is fulfilled and those like Our sister will finally have a voice to sing and praise Jehovah. I have a short video and brochure I want to share with you . You may have already seen them. 🤗 😘

making dumb guesses about god's cryptic prophecies makes them foolish and indiscreet- not false prophets who claim god gave them the message.. two questions—.
1) what is the “true religion‘s” definition of a prophet?.
I would say by the information they use to define prophet when weighed against Deuteronomy they definitely fit the role of false prophet. They even refer to themselves as Gods spirit directed organization.

Prophets role not limited to predictions
What Was the Role of the Prophets?
WHEN mention is made of the Hebrew prophets of ancient times, what comes to your mind? Do you think of men who made predictions about the future? Or, do you think primarily of men who urged people to do God’s will?
The ancient Hebrew prophets did, of course, foretell certain events. Yet their prophesying was by no means limited to making predictions. This is evident from the Hebrew term for prophet, na·viʼʹ. In itself that word does not convey the thought of making predictions. Na·viʼʹ means ‘one who pours forth words abundantly’ or ‘one whose speech flows forth.’ The actual use of the term shows that true prophets were spokesmen for God, with effervescent inspired messages. Just what the commission of God’s prophets involved can be better appreciated by comparing their conduct with that of false claimants to the prophetic office.

Two questions—
1) what is the “True Religion‘s” definition of a prophet?
2) What does the ”True Religion’s” most important source recommend regarding treatment of false prophets
Let’s take a much closer look.
jehovah`s witnesses have taken it upon themselves that they have been chosen by god to be his witnesses in what they believe to be the last days ,the time of the end spoken of by the prophets of old.. they are on record as stating in their publications that it is their calling and duty to preach this message of announcing jehovah`s kingdom loud and clear publicly and from house to house even when under ban.. which they have done on many occasions in the past putting their trust in jehovah .. taking to heart acts ch.5 : 17- 32 which states in a nutshell ," we must obey god as ruler rather than men " .
they are also on record that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one satan the devil to mislead all mankind.. this includes all governments ,religious leaders ,economic, and social systems ,they have even stated that the united nations was a counterfeit kingdom in opposition to the kingdom of god for the benefit of mankind.. so what do we see today ?
true , we have a pandemic with this covid-19 virus that is wreaking havoc in the worlds health systems causing death to many people on a scale not seen since the spanish flu pandemic a century ago.. now i`m just speaking from a jehovah`s witness mindset here,to put there money where their mouth is.
Plus their average age puts them in a high risk group for covid.
please share any other yes/no questions that might fit with the following 10. also feel free to critique the 10 listed.. testing for transparency.
there are some facts that jehovah's witnesses are reticent to divulge to new prospects.
you may want to find out very early in your discussions if the witnesses you are studying with are open and truthful about their organization's doctrine and practices by asking them a series of sensitive (potentially embarrassing) questions about their personal beliefs.
Are you or any members of your congregation currently shunning any of their children?
it's jehovah witnesses, working from home.
