"As the clay in the hand of the potter, so you are in my hand, O house of Israel."—Jer. 18:6. ~ ??????

??Let Jehovah Mold Your Thinking and Conduct

??A potter molds a clay vessel

??Respond favorably to Jehovah’s molding 18:1-11

??Jehovah shapes our spiritual qualities  through counsel or discipline

??We need to be malleable and obedient

??Jehovah never forces us to do things against our will

??A potter may change his mind about what to do with a vessel

??????

??Because Jehovah has given us free will, we can choose either to accept his molding or to reject it

??Jehovah adjusts his dealings with people according to the way they respond to his direction

??As an example of being molded by the Great Potter, a Christian brother walks away from two elders but later returns to talk with them

??In what ways do I need Jehovah to mold me?

??????

DID YOU KNOW?

??Broken pieces of clay beside a clay pot

??Clay was a common material in Bible times. When moist, clay is soft and pliable, and it will maintain the impressions made on it. But clay, even when baked hard, is not a strong material. -

@Bible Speaks  It is a good thing to be maellable in God's hands instead of being stiff-necked as the Isrealites were. And as long as the elders really give advise strictly according to the scrip

Very SLY of you.

You start off right of course.  We should be mounded by GOD through JESUS CHRIST.

But you soon go off course. Very slyly changing the idea from being moulded by those who have the right to mould us.

You then mention the Elders. That is where you go totally wrong.

The Elders do not do God's work. Even the Governing Body do not do God's work.

You misuse scripture totally and God through Jesus Christ will judge you for it.

@Bible Speaks  It is a good thing to be maellable in God's hands instead of being stiff-necked as the Isrealites were.

And as long as the elders really give advise strictly according to the scripture it is good to listen to their advice. But unfortunately a whole lot of their advices based on the WT and elders' letters are commandments of men and  WT org traditions and falsely applied scriptures. The same old things happens as when Jesus was on earth. Those who were responsible of the spiritual education in Israel and those who served at God's temple had gone astray in many aspects. And when Jesus tried to correct them, majority of them refused to be corrected. 

So how will it be this time when the judgement will begin with the house of God as apostle Peter wrote? Hopefully a majority will not refuse to be corrected. But who knows?

So it seems you are saying, as i have said before, that the JW Org is God's chosen Organisation, but at this moment in time it is way out of line.

I don't know exactly who chose who. But Russell chose Jehovah instead of a Trinity. So the WT organization has dedicated themselves not only to Jesus as most of the churches, but to the only true God Jehovah. So Jehovah must have been glad for that.

But apostle Paul expressed surely God's view on preachers of Jesus who did that not with sincere hearts. That that was better than nothing. So churches who promote faith in Jesus and spread Bibles are and have been useful for God in some extent also. They do not represent Babylon the Great. But all claiming to be christians will be judged according to their deeds.

But I would not start to associate with trinitarians or anyone that does not want to understand the truth. But it does not harm that they at least spread some bible knowledge. Even Islam has spread knowledge about biblical events and biblical persons. So maybe it was better that they conquered some parts of the world that if they had not.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
