by nightwarrior inwe as a family allways wanted a family pet as in (dog ) but as the ministry loomed every weekend ,as well as the meetings we decided that it would be to much trouble ,subconciously the influence came from other members in the congregation ,which in turn came from the elders in turn from the bethel ,allways sprouting on about the ministry first ,you never had time for anything elsemow ,yes a dog would be to much trouble,but now,for the past two /half years my younger children are enjoying the companionship of an animal in the house,as well as 2 cats which we have had for past eight years,.

One answer given on this subject was that God has the ability to shut his foreknowlegde down choosing not to foresee the individual actions of his creatures otherwise how could he bless and punish for good or bad actions if he were to see the out come of the individuals behavior.This not my thinking it is the thinking of the W.T.
They illustrate it this way ,just as we have the ability to switch on and off the T.V.and Radio from different stations so God can do that with his foreknowledge.??????????????????

Hi JH, Last week I posted a similiar post "Aware at 3 or 4 years of age " It had to do with when was we aware of death.A collage Dean mentioned that it was about 3 or 4 yrs. of age.What do you think?
As to how far back can I go,it was when I was rescused from a fire by a fireman at the age of about 3 or 4.

Can you name who believed it? Millions now living will never die ( at least up until the judge's death in 1942 ) Abraham,Isaac and Jacob (and Moses, too ) will appear at our conventions soon and we will put them all up three thousand miles away in California in Rutherford's mansion there. The house, Beth Sarim, is deeded to the prophets of old, who never arrive to claim the house, and it is quietly sold after Rutherford's death...................................
Can you name who believed it? Sodomites will / won't / will / won't be resurrected, the early Christians had a rotating Governing Body , blood is an "organ",thus no organ transplants,either.Rape is only excusable if the victim screams LOUD , you can't / can divorce your husband if he's gay (depending on what he does ,exactly ),oral sex WILL get you disfellowedshipped, at least for a while, but in the final analysis we really don't want to know ( well, we do, but we must pretend we don't )..................
Finally can you name who believed it? Anything taught by Fred Franz.
Everyone should score 100% on these four questions. Blueblades
