  1. Tu nous manqueras, mon ami. We have a saying, "Pa bliye yon bon moun" meaning an individual whom you know and speak to, in this case, comment to, to and fro won't be forgotten.
  2. Yes. But reading it daily is like training the muscle. Day and night we must - Joshua 1:8. If we can eat everyday, we can read everyday, that is how I see it.
  3. Exactly, Christians today are not inspired, they cannot profess fulfillment, they cannot do the things that Jonah, Agabus, and the others can do. Hence the following: A normal, Spirit led Prophet who is clearly not inspired and not infallible have the gifts of the spirit regarding prophesying. It is regarded as dominant, the ability for one to profess in spreading the good news gospel of the Kingdom and the Messianic Age of the coming Christ, such of which gives evidence of the holy spirit's role as seen in Scripture, Matthew 24:14, Luke 4:18, Acts 2:18, 19 and Romans 12:6-8. Such ones with spiritual gifts have that is of what is cultivated, or cultivated gifts as some would say. Christians, what do they do exactly? They... Preach the Good New Gospel and of God's Kingdom are Spirit Led, Spirit Led as is wanting to receive and or is given the Holy Spirit. They also preach the coming of the Christ (Messianic Age), with Scriptural evidence as noted above, therefore, your last statement is in err, 4Jah2me. Which by a legitimate definition means: In Abrahamic religions, the Messianic Age is the future period of time on Earth in which the messiah will reign and bring universal peace and brotherhood, without any evil. Many believe that there will be such an age; some refer to it as the consummate "kingdom of God" or the "world to come". No Anti-Trinitarian/Non-Trinitarian has ever, called claim to being inspired. That is both undeniable and an absolute fact. The only people who are to make such a claim are among the mainstream Christians, that make absurd claims of being able to see God and or Satan, as well as the dead, let alone being able to speak to spirits, hence my previous remark to Witness about New Age practices. Granted it was stated that such abilities of prophets of old can do, an Inspired Prophet, it has died off with the apostle, hence no one, not even the students, onward to this day can do this, and or make claim to being an inspired prophet. The latter as been debunked a couple times, even by former members, as well as current Bible Students, as is with a couple sources that studied all about the pastor for 55+ years. It was also mentioned that other than the Bible Students, there were other groups that also came to that conclusion and also believed in the second coming of the Christ whereas the Christ was to be made a King. The calculations in question revolves around the very thing, at the time, many Christian deemed popular, the study of pyramid (Pyramidology) Note: It is said that many intelligent, as well as knowledgeable people around the world were convinced that the Great Pyramid had been divinely constructed to reveal Biblical truths. The focus was that of the Great Pyramid of Giza. That said, the pastor was professing this based on a Biblical interpretation, which is in connection to the Gentile Times, and even prior there was a few statements by said pastor, according to those that had studied him, such information can be searched on this forum, for it was disccused. That being said, during that year, there has been other things going on other than a dreadful war, the spiked corruption, etc. One of the reasons why the other groups, existing and no longer existing sided with the notion of the Gentile Times. As for the last bit, you left out the schism, which resulted in what was stated in the book being taken out of context and the number of groups that came about that day, moreover, if you continue to read pass that point, you can see as to where the point is coming from, and it is more in connection with the conveying of Ezekiel as is the Book of Revelations, hence why, by some, it is an important book, but to others, they take a small sample and take said sample out of context. There is no question, that Babylon the Great will be destroyed. That being said, even prior to the study of Pyramids, no claim of inspiration was ever made, if I am not mistaken, among the people who studied the pastor, R. Lite (from what I can dig up granted his sources are very old and being inactive), stated the same thing. R. Lite is also a Bible Student, however, at times he seems to be a bit radical, most likely eldery state is getting to him. Granted this was talked about people, to which I even made a point, there is no statement on this pastor's part and or the group, even after the aftermath, mentioned that God's Day would arrive on 1925, however, if one does the research accordingly, we see the notion of the Jubilee cycle, not bringing this forward results in confusion, which is understandable, but looking into it you can see this. Granted with what was taking place during that time, this pastor vs. others who were unseating, it is no surprise people would come to said conclusion. As for the property itself, if I am not mistaken I remember this was mentioned before. A San Diego man who was unable to leave the state or something of the sort built the house, and said house was allegedly supposed to be used for Christian activities. Other than that, something as uninformed doesn't negate a belief and or faith, as which was mentioned before. No different from the other things uninformed. That being said, this one, as is with the last one, never claimed to be inspired and or is spoken of as being inspired. That has also been debunked and proven otherwise - misinformation. The 1975 year as been used time and time again to prompt a claim of inspiration, however, by doing the research, one can see the truth of the matter. That being said, there was no strong expectation of God's Day being that year, moreover, core of it was focused on Thousand Year Reign of Christ and the following after of 6,000 years of human history. So in short, speculative articles, however, no definite Statement of the sort. The truth of the matter, to be brief, that people mistook the statement, not understanding it properly, hence, it result in people among the faith community drawing their own conclusions. The statement in blue is misleading, because if one were to lookup the article in question, it's focus was in living out your days in the wicked world in peace. To be more specific, no command was given, it simply stated that people had sold their homes to live simpler lives and profess the remaining days of their lives preaching. What is contradicting is, if they sold their homes because of God's Day, who the mention of preaching, if prior to God's Day all good gospel preaching must cease? To add on to that, said article mentioned a very specific verse - 1 John 2:17, and it continues to give points on said "simple life" and "preaching". Actually, the second part is also a bit misleading. Granted no statement was ever given, the latter was coming with their own conclusions and assumptions, and in turn, spread said information among it's community. Now, the statement wasn't based on 1975, for it was more based on people coming to their own conclusions of something, hence the question mentioned prior in said statement even says "If a person has regulated his life with the view that the end would come on a certain date, what should he now do?" Moreover, that book goes into further detail in the next few paragraphs. The book in question is A Solid Basis for Confidence. That is for the last bit, again, due to what is heard, people came to their own conclusions, and assumed, for if the end was to occur, they would not be preaching at all prior. If they ask for God's Spirit. Regardless, someone who HAS the Holy Spirit is still NOT INSPIRED, hence biblical evidence to such point out in my refute quotation to Witness a while back. Therefore, if there was never a claim of being an inspired prophet, the previous remark isn't in your favor. Later followers of the Christ were not inspired, but if given and or asked for the spirit, they do the work, do they not? Likewise, everyone here, including me, we are not inspired prophets, but, because of the spirit, it allows us to preach the gospel truths, granted I never seen some of you do it, granted you only have one focus. So what point are you attempting with this verse? Also just putting this below regarding a prophet inspried, so you betetr understand the differences: An inspired prophet's message is inspired, like that of a breathe of God himself, therefore infallible. God is the primary source of the message and the author of the message granted the Word came from him. The written work itself in it's original form is both sacred and inspired. As the verses, 2 Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, For prophets inspired by God have verbal communication through even that of angels, visions that puts forth God's message to those who hear it, they have dreams or night visions that is seen by them even in their sleep, and can convey a message even by means of a trance, other times through songs of praise that contribute to a prophet receiving communication that is divine (Exodus 9:1; Amos 3:3-8; Jonah 3:1, 2) Which goes back the last question, which I've stated: If they ask for God's Spirit. Regardless, someone who HAS the Holy Spirit is still NOT INSPIRED, That being said, both you and I are not even inspired, yet the both of use quote Scripture and explain it, do we not? Therefore, my statement on the matter is factual and true with biblical support to back it up, therefore, when I ask you to prove otherwise, you said nothing, moreover, you did not even look into the verses and passages, found in Scripture, the supports my point. The thing is, do you understand what a false prophet is? It takes discernment to understand what a false prophet is. Hence that is the notion of a prophet who is not inspired, but is indeed a modern day Christian. Christians can be at fault, and can make mistakes, to quickly brand someone as false without proper discernment shows err. As for the other bit, if you carefully do the research, you would come to the conclusion that most people who is not a hardcore Trinitarian, would come to. Even as much, even on Muslims, can even point this out, as seen in some debates, especially concerning the history of the Bible. The thing is, coming to an understanding of things, not coming to conclusions, and be quick to point fingers. How so if the invitation is of God? Only God can choose an individual, to be among the fold with his Son, those of Zion. Again, this is some dark water territory, regarding ANY chosen by God, from ANYWHERE, Christians are to be very, very careful, hence my past statement of judgement in front of the white throne. This is why one must be incredibly neutral, if someone is deemed chosen, for one might end up paying for it in the end. That being said, as I stated before, the late Solider of God was among the chosen, despite who he is and what he does, he has done good things, he has done mistakes, but to belittle him of this type of position and or otherwise, as a man, is a mistake. Hid dealing are with the one who has chosen him, therefore, his dealings is not with us men. Likewise, this goes for ALL chosen ones. That being said, you are a bit confused on what sinning against the spirit actually entails, I suggest you read into what that means. But most of the things you linked do HAVE sources, and said information was talked about time and time again on this forum for years now. Also your claims from before, you can at least attempt to prove them instead of shying away from them, I see you laughed, but cannot bite, as usual. EDIT: Well that escalated quickly, you HELPED me, your sources had links to a number of Articles - thank you for helping me point it out for you.
  4. Regarding excommunication, to help people return to God yes, however, if the person dwells in Apostasy and or other, it is impossible to reach such a person. Yes, God knows who is for him and who is not. The common man is capable of somehow knowing who is on God's side, but that is where the they are at a lost.
  5. Something is a bit off. All points color coded with your comment. [1] Downloading an application doesn't enable one to use a login/password unless the protocols are in place to do so, hence if she is using that application that all JWs are using, it does not enable, from what I can see, such protocols are not in play, even if it was, often times there are glitches and of things that need to be fixed, mainly if the connection is still in BETA vinilla form. [2] Sometimes a password change is prompt, if someone was attempting to access the alleged account. The prompts usually are given if [A] the individual and or other is attempting to login the account or issue a security protocol for a password change from a different device and or IP Address. Another would be multiple attempts to access said account, which also prompts this, sometimes, if the email to said account is linked, it will issue an email, asking you in detail of what is taking place. [3] I suggest check any emails in regards to password changes and or security changes to an account, but like I said, granted, their application, a public one, doesn't prompt the app holder to create a login to use free material. [4] Creators of the application and or co-creators cannot hijack people's information. Even if they did, they'd have to go through a ridiculous amount of hashes and encrypted data, which can take literally ages to do. Social Engineering is also impossible on their part (unless it was done by a family member and or friend who is often at the house OR your mother had the information written someone that enabled Social Engineering and or said device was used by someone), unless they personal met your mother to ask her questions of a possible weak password created by her. Do NOT throw IT Techs under the bus, we go by protocol (or else suffer consequence) regarding passwords, using various tools such as the most common - The Active Directory, which allows us to RESET a password by request, in addition to that, depending on the institution, be it pharmaceutical, health, cooperate, etc. A simple task becomes complex due to guidelines and a list of other things. Especially, ESPECIALLY H.I.P.P.A. (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), there is hell to pay if you do not adhere to how they do things in said institutions. That said, if they really wanted to "hijack" they commit to a Bruce Force, which can take ages, even Hackers know this can take ages. [5] No. I said this strongly for I myself am an I.T. Professional, and have dealt with password and exchange related issues. That being said, a Bruce Force attack takes ages, this also goes for The Man in the Middle Attack. Regardless if they ask for donations or not, that does not prove much. An internal attack can be done, this happen to big banks and some business, example, Target, hence such was done from within, and had access to machines that (majority of the time is not on the Hyper-V and virtualization lane) can be broken into it, if you know how to have access to said servers (DNS, DHCP, etc. and or secondary ones) [6] The possibility is that there is a spoofed version of the home website of Jehovah's Witnesses, however, most spoofed websites would con you into buying security software, and or force Ransomware, a rootkit, and or other things just by mere interaction and a few clicks. That being said, spoofing websites and or emails is an actual thing. However, in this case, it does not seem to be as such, for here is where your story commits to confusion, be it she is using an application, which you stated it has been downloaded, or she is using the website. As I recall, you cannot download a website, and a free and or public application does not prompt people to create a login and or password. That being said, you are fabricating a story here. I'd also like to point out that MOST application related to Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc. and or anything related to the Bible (i.e. Blue Letter Bible) and or Qu'ran (i.e. Quran for Android) are practically 100% FREE, and 100% open to the Public, moreover, such application does not prompt the user to create a login, however, websites, of which said user who has a linked account to whereas said website shows that their applications can be logged into, actually do. That being said, I leave you with the below: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/strong-passwords-9-rules-to-help-you-make-and-remember-your-login-credentials/ Not only you protect your logins, but you must also protect your devices too. Never, NEVER, EVER, create a weak password. There are people out there that deal with millions and millions of dollars of people's money, and their passwords are usually "ILOVETHEGIANTS" or "Password01". The stronger the password, the easier you make the IT Tecch's job, no paper trails to go back to, and tickets closed.
  6. @Kosonen The story of Joseph has always been brought up by everyone, especially due to the fact the lessons to be learnt regarding this current day and age, mainly when it comes to being peaceable, as is with confronting immorality, that can cause men and women to stumble. @TrueTomHarley Yes - We all can learn from Joseph, but not everyone takes said lessons to heart, we have examples on this forums already.
  7. @TrueTomHarley A bit related, but regarding children, teach one, reach one, and in turn they do the same. Raising children to do good, the right way, as is, with informing and teaching them of dangers of this world, in turn, they can and will avoid said dangers. Even during this pandemic, the children of whom I was with for a long time even for those who are not by blood and of different races, they learn from example, and what they've learn, they are able to teach others, something of which of what I mention time and time again about solutions regarding children and some going into adulthood. The thing is, some children, especially within my culture, they represent of whom they originate from, i.e. if let's say Smith Baptiste, he represents his family, for whether his actions are good or bad, it not only falls on him, but his family line. Stuff like this is taken seriously, even as said young one progresses into adulthood.
  8. Granted the horrendous action by China, they would stoop to this low. They do not want to take an embarrassing fall. Despite this, China's allies will not fold, and will support them even though they themselves have been effected. That being said, seeing how things play out. Also currently in NYC, I had seen a lot of people outside, some close to each other, the police? Very chill, majority distracted by their cell phones.
  9. That is good. The whole blood thing is a tough one, although, anything bloodless related is a positive one. There's always an alternative, rushing to a risky gold standard is not always the best option for anyone.
  10. One person who is chosen, whom I know and even respect, was often asked this question. It should be noted, that among imperfect men and women, God does the choosing, and such an honor of being chosen is like that of an invitation by means of God's hand. Granted some chosen ones out there, not all of them have the answers to everything because they have not gain said experience. In Solider of God's case, he was Biblical healthy, but compared to me, and others among his circle when he was alive, he was not savvy with in other aspects, especially history outside of Scripture, yet, indirectly correlates. Solider of God did not care about recognition at all.
  11. For what exactly of JWInsider's response in relation to what I made a response to?
  12. @Arauna Apprantly accsuations is what people rely on, espically if someone who is in the wrong is on the losing end.
  13. But the thing is that this is indeed true. There are such Christians out there that are seeking to reflect this Church. These Christians differ from mainstream Christianity. I know because I am among this fold. Which is similarly to the point of which I made, the other time I noted the same thing, yous aid you disagreed. The Chosen ones are always part of the Spiritual House, as is with the stones. All people are important in God's Kingdom, there is no favoritism for this hope. God will have people reign with his Son and people having the hope on earth. What connects both, is God and Jesus. Paul makes this point. Indeed, yes we must know who these people are, but at the same time, we need be careful so that an assumption lands someone in front of the white throne. Therefore, it is wise to tread carefully. Apprantly you understand this better the woman who mixed and butchered this verse. My response was not a reference to the Chosen Ones, my response was in relation to the Early Apostolic Church, and that is indeed the focus. So, you misunderstood what I was conveying.
  14. I mentioned you because regarding an inspired prophet, you were the one made this claim regarding inspiration, therefore, me mentioning you is related to that discussion. That being said, I always mention people, it does not necessarily mean I miss or care for them, I mention people related to the things said, for instance, your claim regarding the Assyrians and your usage of false Bible narratives, should any come to a similar understanding and or outcome, I would gladly mention the person, even link the discussion. I rather not link said discussion because it would evidently backfire on you, and crack the armor of which 4Jah2me is tooting regarding inspiration. You were never an irritation, a torn on my side, you are merely another challenger on the CSE platform, nothing more. If you recall, I even told you, do not stumble and scrap your knee caps, which you have done time and time again, as is with your accusations torwards me, which remain unproven. That being said, the last discussion I had with you, you pull a fuse regarding the domain of political registration whereas when correct, you redacted said information and stated "you do not wish to know these things" when you prior stated "such information is the truth". Other than that, as for the topic in question, an entity of any kind and or group, whatever, are capable of doing such, you of all people should know because we did discussion something related to copyright in the past, to which a whom you deem a support, was actually against you in this regard. By the way, I found it, not only a call back to you, but something @4Jah2me can learn from: The difference between a Prophet Inspired and a Prophet Not Inspired.
  15. Then point out as to where I am allegedly spiritual blind, to this I invite you to do as such. I know because I take the time to do the research and study, that is why you being unaware of what a prophet inspired and a prophet not inspired was evident. I believe in what is true, but your last blunder proves you are far from what is true. How am I pretending to know more? That being said, what should be laughed at is your obvious appeal to motive, if you cannot point out something someone said and simply go out with such banter such as this, it shows who is truly lacking in this regard.
  16. As I had told everyone here, even before your time, The True Church is the Early Apostolic Church. And nearly over a dozen times I had stated this, that such people, Christians, whomever they are, strive to be like this church to the letter, as is with some working towards that. It is not an easy task due to the fact the more one attempts this path, the difficulty increases, as is with persecution, etc. This church is the one often attacked, and ridiculed by the so called war I am referring to, Trinitarianism vs. Non-Trinitarianism, and some of us are the types to not be so keen on misinformation when the facts are there. Granted, it is one of those reasons when this forum was originally a battle zone, I am the way I have always been since CSE, which is somewhat of a debating zone in regards to Biblical History. That being said, the church church, as I had told many, even Witness, consist of the chosen ones and the followers of the Christ. Although she mixed up the information in one of our discussions, one cannot go around that notion in regards to True Christianity in the face of mainstream Christianity.
  17. Because you haven't read anything, which is very evident. Even when you cannot even point out a single thing that you deem disagreeable. How so? This verse in question correlates with a distorting of information to justify something. When it comes to copyright laws, this can often be the case, outside of taking someone's work. What Jesus is conveying here, is that if you go back into the history in Bible times, the Jews had distorted the application and usage of the law. In some sense, a form of resentments and the like that committed into the vengeful behavior. So, taking the work of others, in this regard, when copyright is involved, in order distort what is true and what is not true, is passing a red line, hence any entity in this regard can take action because such creation is of their doing, especially if said information is distorted. Nowhere in the Bible are Christians harboring vendettas. But you've missed the main focus of what Jesus was conveying here. Actually no, Faithleaks focus is indeed child abuse, however, if there is other information outside of child abuse, copyrighted information that is taken and distorted, it results in some action being taken. No one is ignorant and or oblivious to child abuse happening in religious institutions, but such people make it seem as if that is the case. If you missed it in the Scripture, immorality is among the sins of this world. Stating the obvious? If I were to live underneath a rock, then perhaps I would not know this, but I haven't missed the parable regarding the Faithful Servant. I cannot speak for you because I am under the assumption you were not aware of this parable. Those chosen by God are all over the place and had been around before since that faithful day. Such persons are all over, and God knows who they are, i.e. Solider of God is one of the chosen, although he is dead now, his message is still present in those that walked the same path as he has, for we are in the church as well. Regardless of what the term is, it still refers to the Faithful Servant. Does that term really result in you catching feelings? If you are indeed older, it would be wise to act as such. That being said, granted terms and renderings have been happening for a while now, as long as it does not deviate from what is actually true, there is no problem, especially in the realm of Textual Criticism. More so, the terminology of what a Faithful Servant actually is, or in this case, a slave, regarding spiritual food remains the same. And your point? You are aware that both the inspired and the not inspired do have the Holy Spirit, those spirit led, and those who are spirit led to foretell prophecy, etc. Granted after the death of the last apostle, we are left with non-inspired Christians, and such ones who are of God do have the spirit. This remark from you alone tells me you do not understand that notion and I can, if need be, send you the refutation of Witness when she distorted this claim, as is with her assertion of Assyria, which is haunting. Spirit led, but not inspired prophets. As for the secondary remark, I suggest you read the Parable, you know, the one you stated you did not agree with, you can scroll up to find the passages and read them. You do realize anyone who claim to be inspired long after the death of the last apostle fits that notion? Such ones believe they can speak with the dead, and do other things, speak in tongues, poison drinking, etc. As stated here, in the past and even by means of the Scripture, no one, not even JWs ever claim inspiration. Because one is not inspired, it does not mean they lack the Holy Spirit, even if they ask God for it. Well I cannot agree with you because you show a total lackluster abundance of knowledge of what prophet of [non] inspiration actually is. The fact you bring this point, shows that you walked right into this one. That being said, look at your claim again, and go read the Parables, as is I suggest you learn the difference between an inspired prophet and a non-inspired prophet, there is a difference, but what makes them equal is that such a person is of God, they do follow the Christ and are led by the Spirit, pray for it even. I also suggest you really understand Matthew 5:39 and understand what copyright laws are, I linked you 2 articles and a video, better to be educated on this rather than ignore it, in doing so, those who know it can easily correct you.
  18. I feel strongly about that because of the experience I had mentioned before of what a cult actually is and what it is about. As all things pertaining to Christianity, the claims can be absurd at times, and annoying.
  19. @Anna That is understandable, it is even sad and difficult if the one with said mental depravity is a young person. It is also safe to say that there are some who are better equipped to handle such, even among church congregants, while some are not as equipped. Among teaching people on how to deal with such ones, this must also be taught. Likewise if a teacher or someone in the medical field can be taught to deal with such an event, why not others. That being said, as for this topic, I guess we are back again with Excommunication, even though the points have been made time and time again.
  20. Not everyone. But as I stated to you and others here before, they do not know what a "cult" actually is. If you are against the Trinity, you are part of a cult, if you say Jesus is not God, you are part of a cult, if you like dogs over cats, you are part of a cult. If you, as God is my witness, put french fries in ice you, you sir, are part of a cult. The irony of it all, there is no justification, it is merely a one-shot claim to evade discussion and or to assume that you are better than the latter. Yes, there are many churches, but the question is, of which church, be it organized or not, is following the True Church? As stated years back, Trinitarianism is on the decline and as a result of this, there is an uptick in trying to convert such into said faith, hence why the so called "WAR" is ongoing, even harder as it is now, since now colleges and universities are involved and the fact confusion has led to the formulation of more atheists and more people adhere to today's so called norm.
  21. This is why maintaining health is of high importance. Health is key, so if one does have something negative going for them, now is the time to take some form of action.
  22. @TrueTomHarley I usually seem them as yes or no, or a reaction of some sort. I haven't voted anything down, I have also present as to why is or that is true or untrue, but that is about it.
  23. The irony of it all is I care about factual information. Apparently, knowing a lot of information, a person who is weak in a discussion would make this claim. The thing about 4Jah2me and others like this person is the little someone knows the better it is for them to get their point across, but the more someone knows, it results in sheer tomfoolery to what is fact and true. I don't care what is history is with JWs, however, misinformation comes a long way to trick people, hence, something will always need to be said.
  24. You've done it before, so it is no surprise you have done it again, the first time you made an accusation, granted you did not mention me, hence I only found out when you stated "The Merchant". You also took said accusation and made it as a truth and I challenged you to prove said accusation and you vanished. So speak your peace because the source I am using says otherwise, and I purposely left some things out just to convey them from your response. I am not superior, but if you want to alluded to your past assumption, I invite you to try. I care about facts and the only thing that irks me more is conveying information in a way to spin the narrative. The last time you attempted this, it backfired, likewise with Mr.C. You only say this now granted of what has been presented, hence the interaction prior. But you have adhered to a collective in the past, even though so and so have been wrong or misused information. On the other side of the spectrum, when another person says something that is right, you deem it as something wrong, as is with said collective without coming to an understanding as to what was said, what is the conclusion and so forth. Yes, this is indeed true, even in Bible times this was the case, especially in regard to Apostle Paul, of whom even some Christians seem to have a strong hatred for. A body within any entity will formulate some information in order to maintain some balance. In regards to Christianity, such leaders do so by means application of Bible principles. I'll give you an example, people living together prior to marriage. Clearly, granted we get an example from the Bible, Christians can make the application of how this can be a potential danger, especially when it is known that the flesh is weak and imperfect, coupled with how the world views sex. Because of that, in order to prevent anything bad from happening, a body of Christian bodies and or heads discuss these things, and come to a conclusion on prevention, in doing so, the chosen ruling is then presented to the other body, Church Congregants in form of a sermon and or message, even by means of alternatives regarding newcomers. That said, they're not yes men, they are not "yes men". These are both separate political entities, hence, has no correlation of what is presented. Those opposition parties are not too far from the left and the right, as is with the Republican and Democratic parties in the US, and or the oppositions in various countries, and clearly they are not a united source in decision making, hence, opposition. Although you are not into politics, granted, I am sure all of us here are neutral, it would be wise to know the basics. That being said, voting is a far different story in regard to the focus. They are merely religious heads/leaders, as is the case with all faiths. in Christianity, some ruling is based on Bible Principles, as is how things are within the vicinity of individuals and or groups, and how are things ran in said lands. You do realize how some ruling are made, correct? There is no debate, but there is discussion, as is the case, with ALL faiths. In these discussions, regarding on the situation, some ruling by means of the area, and or Bible Principles are addressed and how it can be put into effect. Some discussions cannot be removed, which is correct, however, things can be tweaked and or added, especially when there is some sort of change, for instance, the Coronavirus, clearly in this regard, there were things being talked about, which later on, is presented to congregants and or the public, and such discussions is to enable how the people can protect themselves and their families under this pandemic. Clearly such people did not just see COVID-19 and through ideas on the wall and hope it sticks, they discussion first. I purposely left out another bit of my quotation just to throw that on to you. The term, “faithful and discreet slave”, is used by them to describe the group's body of religious leaders in its role professing teachings. The term also refers to “faithful and wise servant”, by others, individualized and or by other groups, even by modern day Bible Students, as for Unitarian denominations, we use the other rendering. Now a faithful servant, they profess said teachings of pertaining to articles of faith. This term heavily correlated with the interpretation this Parable – “The Faithful Servant” found in the following verses (Matthew 24:45–47, Mark 13:34-37 and Luke 12:35-48) and it is said the fulfilled began on Pentecost 33 C.E. (Acts 2). This role, for pretty much most Christian groups, especially if organized, act as the example found in said Parable, as a faithful servant (or slave), when it comes to arriving at decisions on regarding teachings and or other things, this information, once finalized, is presented. Again, I bring up Apostle Paul regarding Dietary Laws and Circumcision. The faithful and wise servant is in connection with a small and or little flock of servants who are faithfully carrying out vows within the body of Christ, moreover, the whole body individually and or collectively, giving the food (Spiritual Food/Milk of which the Bible speaks heavily about) by a due season to the household of faith, which are the believers, Christians, who are given said food. A faithful servant, when it comes to teachings, application and discussions being made, under both God and Christ, are deemed responsible whereas the master of these slaves is the Christ, Jesus, hence The Parable. Despite all this, regardless of faith, no man is inspired, well, you have some Trinitarian scholars and Christians out there who claimed this, i.e. stating they can speak to the dead or see them, or entered briefly some form of afterlife (which all connects to Spiritism and not Christianity). As I had told both Srecko and Witness (who I see here once again), who they themselves claimed that these religious leaders claimed to be “inspired”, as is, on Witness’ part, even ignored a snippet from what she had posted to state said truth, they were in the wrong, granted no claim of being inspired, the irony was I believe that part was purposely cut out, on her part. This is but one of said claims, even outside of anything pertaining to JWs, some claims were based on either the sheer misguidance and or feelings vs. Scripture based mentality, more so, even some chosen ones, refuted them. To add on to that, there was another, who claimed this, but it was more on a Trinitarian vs. Non-Trinitarian turf, something I am heavily in. All this, was before your time, and I can freely quote said discussion here if need be. Actually, granted we are all sinners, and are imperfect, any man, woman, or child is capable of sinning, as is with repentance, hence, prisoners, some of I, a few others, young and old, partook in writing to, who they themselves wish to seek God. Now, in regard to Excommunication, even they can succumb to such, should they commit a sin. When it comes to religious leaders, even those of whom are a body, they rarely commit to grave sin, so in this sense, even with them, they can sin and be excommunicated from their religious community. Another notion of which you presented, "They cannot be Disfellowshipped by other JWs" how are you so sure when Excommunication in regards to sin can easily be applied should any of them commit grave sin? So far, I haven't seen anything from them, nor, others. I recall Srecko posted something a while back, claiming it to be a truth, but after some research was done, it was not merely just a lie, but someone out there throwing conspiracy. Clearly you are not getting what I am conveying, which is evident. But the boat of your exegesis without conclusion will not sail as far. I study Christology, so I already know what Jehovah's Witnesses are about, as is with what they derive from. I am not referring to the Bible Student Movement or the Great Awakenings. If you disagree, point out what you disagree with, just stating this only shows you really have nothing to say. You said the same thing in another discussion I am having with someone regarding Titus 2:13. The Parable, in this sense, is correct and the actions of the slave in said parable on conjunction with the master, The Christ. Even today, everyone is able to recognize that. As for the topic at hand, any group, entity, and or institution, is capable of taking such an action if it violates what they have. More so, even an individual as that right to take such an action, if it is something that does not sit well with them. Now ANYONE is capable of going about this sort of action, so I suggest you read the 2 examples below carefully: https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html https://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/copyright-infringement I also advise learning about copyright and all things pertaining to it: You may not even know your own UK political system, but you should be able to know the rights of your people, if I know this, it is surprising that you do not know this, granted, by mere assumption of our last interaction, you are the older one. In addition to that, there are those in the UK whom I know, some even more up there when it comes to Bible reading and history, will tell you the same thing. That being said, a collective who makes decisions for the betterment of something or someone, even a group vs. a collective that consist of yes men and women are VASTLY different. EDIT: Alas, the individual who barks cannot bite - as expected.
  25. Well they are certainty more scrambled than scrambled eggs at this point and will continue to do so, granted they are attempting various things to deal with a novel virus.
