Yes, and some people have died from what I am finding out, mainly those who lack military experience, and reasons being is mainly due to the fact that Russian Soldiers can track people's phones; those using social media to, get the likes, so to speak. People from Reddit who volunteered are victims in this because they think War is a video game, in their mind because they became Rambo in Call of Duty, they think they can do the same in real life, and they were very wrong.
As for those with military experience, they're not treated as well, and if anything, they are purposely sent to the frontlines, sometimes unarmed.
As for Ukraine, it is already known something like this will never be made public and those who do speak up are mocked, called Pro-Putin, and a list of other things.
This is why outside of Russia and their allies, even the likes of Ukraine, their President, as is NATO are corrupt.
To make matters worse the MSM also encouraged people to volunteer. Sending lams into the slaughter, is what it is.
That being said, the International Conflict, more and more people are trying to get folks involved, something of which Srecko did not understand what the BBC attempted. These powers want to cause chaos.

True, they'll go back to their places of worship, but as far as the Commission, they're isolated to phone calls and letters.
That being said, from what I had seen so far, them going back to house to house will be vastly different to the New Normalcy.
The ill intent and mindset of some people has changed, even in the realm of aggression.
Not sure if you are a JW or not, but even for you, you need be careful because of the rise of desperation.
So it is wise for everyone to be cautious. In my case, I am cautious, but I tread differently from most.

Sending them in to a frontline with little or no ammo for their weapons made no sense to me when I heard about that. Except that one idea might have been to make sure Americans die so that the US will step in and step up to fight Russia. This was Ukraine's goal all along, but it's becoming painfully obvious to Zalensky now that it was never the US goal. The US only needed to tease them into a war that would continue to weaken the country, and hopefully still keep them dependent on the purchase of more military weapons from the US. Previously, the US sold them billions in weapons so that they would keep killing fellow Ukrainians in Donbas, to the tune of about 14,000 dead. Whether they are bombing their own people, as they have been for more than 8 years, or bombing Russians, should make no difference to the US, as long as they still need US weapons to do it.
It is usually the goal of stupid people in the media and in the population who think that the US is all-powerful and can step into a war with Russia (or anyone else) to prove American dominance over everyone and everything. Biden, and at least half of Congress, might be dumb enough to be goaded into it, but the entire goal of US wars and invasions and occupations since 9/11 has never been to "win" anything, but mostly to create enough chaos to make American weapon-making oligarchs richer, while weakening the economies of countries the US chooses to interfere with.
The US occupation of Syria, of course, is to continue illegally occupying about a third of Syria to weaken the country with civil war, and mostly to control its oil which the US has been stealing now since their civil war began there. (And, of course, to bully and lie about Assad enough so that he knows he can't fight back.) The US support of the genocide in Yemen is, of course, only to please Saudi Arabia since the US has no conscience about where they purchase oil from (while making sure that Germany and other Europeans will not purchase gas from Russia).
Oh wait! Was this about Ukraine or door-to-door ministry?

@JW Insider Agreed, also as for this
Ukraine only came up because of the BBC Article first brought forth by @Srecko Sostar.
So the discussion is mixed, and bounces back between subject matter from the looks of it.
Gospel preaching, Ukraine conflict, The Last Apostle/Inspired and not Inspired Prophets, John Butler's other account, and somehow John the Baptist got interjected because people are getting their Johns confused when it is clear of whom it being talked about.
 
Concerning your faith's gospel preaching, it won't be the same as it was before. People are more leaning towards to ill intent out of desperation. So you, as with most, need to be extremely vigilant and cautious.
 
Apparently, the common folks wants your faith community back:

 

The Mainstream Media suppresses truth, and during war time, truth is often suppressed and or killed off. The MSM is a collective, grouped, and are often associated with things such as Big Pharma, as we know this due to the Opioid Crisis as is the COVID-19 Endemic, and Big Teach, mass censorship and suppression of information and truth.
As for the BBC article it was indeed misinformation. The claim is the Drone was from the Russians when in reality it is vastly different, leaning towards a False Flag to get the Croatia people involved, and even in their eyes, they see this too; granted NATO had quite the failure in that situation. The reason the BBC doesn't tell you this because they are among the many who are war mongers, and supporters of the military industrial complex. And this isn't one instance, it is several, in example, over the years, i.e. Syria Chemical situation.
 
They also censor people, myself included.
 
That being said it is understandable how your friend views truth vs the MSM, granted he himself was fooled by the New York Times and Newscorp, even one pertaining to CNN.

I respect opinion in your claim that you do not do opinions.  

Because they are, granted, those who believe such abilities to exist after Apostle John, affiliated themselves with Mainstream ideas.
No one has risen the dead, healed the sick, transfigured and or had visions, not even the students of John.
The fact you mentioned Pentecost 33 AD does not help you either, for that was in the 1st century, around that time, Apostle John was still alive and well.
The Mainstream believes that the ability to do what is mentioned, i.e. Heal the sick, persisted into the 2nd Century. Even the ideas of which God can strike people now, literally, of which they still believe to this day, which spins a contradiction on the coming of God's Judgment.
Your own ideas? Better to lean on what God's Word attest to than your own understanding of things, which puts you in the same light of the Mainstreamers.
Unfortunately, there was a history concerning that one, as is Admin's involvement. John Butler II can be found via the member club list, whatever pertains to Admin is now archived. Granted the timeframe from your original tenure, it is evident an attempt of a comeback, was done, only for it to fail. For due to Admin's action, you may have done something that enforced the ban itself by crossing Forum ground rules.
As for the other remark, it is irrelevant, the claim of the account existing, was proven to be true.
Then you most likely crossed a Forum ground rule which resulted in the wipe of the second account. And it was hastened due to it most likely being an IP Ban whereas regardless of the account, if it is tied to an IP, it'll trigger something, notify an Admin, etc. Both John Butler and John Butler II were probably on the same IP.
I don't get upset. You claim such an account was non-existent, and the fact you didn't mention it again, I put it where it can be seen, nothing more.
That being said, such is quite miniscule, even the plea itself.
You are free to speak your peace about your own understanding, but concerning God's Word, no Prophet Inspired with such abilities exist.
Unless you can name one God fearing man now who can, raise the dead, so to speak, then perhaps your word is bond.
The only people who are supposedly known to raise the dead in this day and age are Ritualistic Cultist associated with Black Magic, but their machinations is associated with the use of drugs and toxins to fool people that they can heal and or raise the dead, aka Spiritism. Then you have the Mainstreams who thinks they can go to a Spiritual plain of existence and have visions, transfigure even; entirely false.
Prophets Not Inspired are essentially the Christians of today, those led by the Spirit to proclaim the Messianic Message, to make disciples, etc., prophesying God's Word. Vastly different from their Prophet Inspired counterparts as written in scripture.
I haven't changed the subject. You brought up 2 notions. I haven't brought any insults either.
1. Concerning Prophets Inspired
2. The account you assume to not be in existence; mask remark.
Granted you are using an appeal to motive, which does not really work if you are on the losing end.
Not to mention you were using your own understanding instead of the Bible. Not a good look, and anyone can discern that.
If I hid behind a mask, as you claim, I would be having multiple accounts/names and speaking in 3rd person, as what you've done, so much so, your plea was wiped out. For last I check, you had 4 names in a span of 3 accounts. Which mask is really you? Granted the 3rd person rhetoric, you are your own sentient entity, so to speak, and there are many examples of which you speak as yourself behind the mask of which you where.
I am simply Space Merchant (for the name and profile pic has a reason behind it), or simply referred to as Baptise, my actual name of which I mentioned before.
That being said, I am myself. I speak like this, I debate like this, and this is how I am, and I actually attest to solutions, I do not whine over things over Facebook (your realm of reality as you claim), for I take action, and so far, the things I have done has been working.

You may want to look into that further, as it was already told about Ukrainian Propaganda being in full force. Likewise with the article of which you presented that was pretty much a move to get Croatia into a False Flag situation.

Not to mention propaganda affiliation. But as pointed out, not many is keen on research and will often eat up what the MSM says to them.
But you know, truth is the first causality of war. Especially when there is an ongoing Information War that is ongoing.

@Pudgy Well that's in the States of course. But now that you mention it, toxins is polluting the water and the air, as is lead in the water, etc. A lot of this stuff is hushed away by political powers and only brought up when someone says something. Not only such things effect the people, but the animals, and speaking of animals, whatever they consume, later on (such as fish, chickens, beef, etc.), should a person consume said animal, there is a build up, for it is not only the drugs and hormones that they fed to people, but chemically induced livestock without the people's knowledge.
Granted some people are in a dire situation, they will consume anything, even if the livestock is effected somehow, their desperation devoid them of rational thought.
As for Ukraine, a lot of Propaganda, and as of recent they're associating it that those who say otherwise are Conspiracy Theorist and or affiliated with Qanon.
For lies only benefit them in order to hide or break the truth, we have seen a big example of this with Biden's Son, Hunter, for lies were professed only to put a mentally broken man in power of the United States, in which begets, a series of events which will later effect the common folk indirectly when the Culture War intensities, with a possibly of Systematic Warfare.
That being said, it is absurd to the fact such ones are using the blame Russia card for their own actions, as is, the Racism towards Russians, for Facebook is advocating for such behavior.
 
Also as a side note, because of speculation and fears, people are buying an insane amount of Potassium Iodide.

I have firsthand knowledge of radioactive dirt being distributed over many square miles of area in South Carolina at the Savannah River nuclear site the idea being that the rain would put the radiation into the ground And the trees would suck it up and it would be evaporated from the leaves in such small molecular amounts that the wind would carry it away harmlessly. Of course the entire site is about 640 mi.² and it has Cloverleaf like interchanges like the interstate – on site behind the secure area.
The very first nuclear reactor in the United States to produce tritium, reactor K, sits in an open field all rusted up, filled with concrete and there’s a signed one wire perimeter fence approximately 200 feet away to keep people out ….. pretty much on the honor system.
If it’s a sunny day today, step outside and look at the sky and you’ll see a fusion reactor with absolutely no shielding at all, the size of a small yellow star, blazing away, converting hydrogen into helium and out putting all manner of hard radiation…… But it is 93,000,000 miles away.
As long as you don’t actually get a sunburn, this radiation is necessary for human life in the production of vitamin D. , AND ALL LIFE ON EARTH.
….. by the way, bananas are radioactive with radioactive potassium, but if you eat 900 a day, the potassium will kill you, stopping your heart, and not radiation.
and as an aside … REAL men never set their Phasers on “stun”.

@Witness The Them remark was in regards to you and Srecko, granted originally you made the thread about False Prophets.
The Chosen has nothing to do with the non-existence of Prophets Inspired after Apostle John. Therefore, you cannot name one, or call to existence any who came forth after John. For if his students were simply Prophets Inspired, it is 100% accurate to note no Prophet Inspired existed afterwards, especially with the events of 325AD and onward.
As a side note there were Chosen who were indeed Prophets Inspired, but these persons were around John's time, and the majority died out, with the last of Inspired Prophets to remain alive was Apostle John himself, hence Apostle Paul's message to the Corinthians in his First letter regarding of such a time to come.

Also for the record because I know you won't bring it up after this. After John Butler was banned possibly around October of 2019, a few months later, John Butler II emerged around December, pleading with Admin, both in 1st person and in 3rd person, hence you wearing a mask (so to speak), in a few remarks.
It is also noted that it was not anyone else, but you, granted of not only the mannerisms, but what was said. Admin essentially shut that down too, with the thread involved, effectively wiped, likewise to your use of Ebonics, which I will find should the situation calls for it. Of what Admin did, difficult to track with Archives, but the name was found, even if anyone looks at the members of the club itself, the name is found, present day.
Next time, understand the order of your own house, for if something is said, it isn't without reason.
So the order it seems, concerning you, John Butler > John Butler II > 4Jah2me > Patiently Waiting For Truth (current)

 3rd person talk concerning your tenure is quite the mask of which is worn.
That being said, I believe this matter, has concluded, Mr. Butler.
 
If there is an Allen Entity, I guess one can say there is Butler Entity as well, but such an Entity is aware of his tenured sentience.
 

The thing is, this is true, there is no one after John that is an Prophet Inspired, who outlived everyone, even those at Pentecost, who is a Prophet Inspired. This is extremely obvious due to the fact you have many denominations regarding the Abrahamic Faith, the existence of 2 factions of Christendom, etc. Likewise with the numerous Bible Translations, even revised. This is why I said to @Srecko Sostar and @Witness before, even now, for should a Prophet Inspired did exist, be it one or a few, we would not be in the position we are in now, essentially. Not to mention, the students of Apostle John and their ordeal cannot go unnoticed.
God has already made this clear, as did our Christian brothers and sisters before us.
I do not see why you take such disdain for a Prophet Not Inspired, which is what you are, myself, and others. For we have things we can do although our Inspired counterparts have done better.
I do not pretend. Hermeneutics is vital. As is research and study.
You are now focus on the chosen, even concerning them, the abilities of which was mentioned, died with the Last Apostle. None of them today, Solider of God, and or others, or the ones of whom the Jehovah's Witnesses say is chosen, all of them are not Prophets Inspired.
Although our past counterparts had such abilities, those today, 2nd century and onward, do not.
Granted, I mention this all the time and now you seem to notice this.
I am well aware, but clearly no one after John had such abilities. You can't even prove it, should you try.
But if you want to be my guess, and if I am in the wrong here, what is stopping you from naming a Prophet Inspired today?
We both know about the Chosen, but the Bible is clear on things pertaining to Apostle John. And what transpired afterwards prior to Constantine having his hand in Christianity.
As pointed out, if Prophets Inspired existed after John's death, his students would not be in a difficult position, Christianity would still be like that of the Apostolic Early Church with no shift or change from Roman Emperors of the rise of Catholicism. No Holy Wars would exist in which blood is spilled on soil, for God's people will be unified against threat, and there would not be any other faction of Christendom, let alone denominations. The only thing we'd be dealing with possibly is those who have a believe in False Gods/Goddesses only like that of God's people in Ancient Israel, or something to a similar effect.
Because John's students and those after them do not have such abilities. No one can transfigure, no one can attest to having visions and or revelations from God concerning the things to come. All we have is what is written and we do out best to adhere to it. Likewise with the events, 2nd century, to the 4th concerning the Council of Nicaea and onward, Bible Translations, etc.
It's pretty obvious.
Not really because if that were the case, you'd realize the position of the students of the Apostle, who knew God's Word on the same level of Apostle John.
You never apply discernment, so how can you tell?
Not really. But that is quite the accusation.
The Watchtower is aware that they are not Prophets Inspired. If they did have absolute power, then they would have been in KAIROS as the majority of Christendom.
You aren't if you didn't realize Apostle John had students.
Actually you have in the past. A specific Bible Strong's can be coined.
That being said, it is pretty odd as to how both you and @Witness or not only downplaying the students of John who was at his level concerning God's Word, but the history of the 2nd century to the 4th century. For what reason? A mystery.
Surely, former Jehovah's Witnesses would do better than that, but as I said in the past, even recently, Mainstream ideas tend to get the best of you.

Any topic related to this site is open to the public in various forms. Google is just one of them.
If that's your observation, then more is needed.
I understand you wish to contribute with, general observations. However, we are dealing with this specific site and people here with distorted understanding of scripture and other institution's literature.
We should use whenever possible other literature to convey or to show similarities, however, the adjustments need to be made here, by responsible people, not people that just want to win with their falsehoods and manipulation.
Point being, God has not allowed his inspired word to be subverted by man. Man can attempt it by Satan's influence, but it will never be tampered enough that responsible people can't see the difference.
This is why a "seer" can be inspired by God even though that person is not a prophet. A prophet can be both, but not vice versa. Therefore, It wouldn't matter if there is no prophet after the last apostle died. God will still use responsible men to fulfil the prophecy, with a worthy individual Full of God's Holy Spirit, or a seer with God's grace specifically dedicated to a certain task.
People overreach with their assumptions about the phrase supernatural. The angels are in heaven. Anything they do is supernatural. If God sends an angel to earth as a messenger, that's supernatural, but in a good and positive way. 
Satan's influence on earth is a bad and negative observation of the supernatural.

Speculation. That reminds of the, ironically, the 1975 discussion. As we can see, concerning what the Information War (and Hot War) can turn into, there are both sides.
Not to mention, False Flags can make people jump to conclusions, even take action.
That being said, conflict overseas won't be one's only concern, but a Systematic Warfare among the people in the US and elsewhere, for neighbor will come against neighbor with ill intent, to survivor, to attack their own, etc. Something of which myself and @Kosonen has always talked about on here. Then you got the Reset, which will truly cripple the people even more. @Araunahas been vocal on that.
As the US dollar drops even more, the moral compass of some will also fall, for when ill intent is at an all time high, men, women and children, who are unaware won't be safe.
By the time unaware people figure out who the true enemy is, it will be too late.

True. Even a couple years ago when the Truther community did speak about the actions of NATO and the US allies, along with the United Nations, we were censored. It was inevitable that an action will cause an International Conflict.
The difference is that the US and their allies is dealing with a Nuclear Super Power.
That being said, the information we had was someone from NATO several years ago stated there want to start wars with several countries, those who were not on their side. We seen what they did already with the aid of the UN.
 
For the Wild Beast knows what it is doing. But this time, the fear and panic the unaware are succumbing to vs the aware who saw this coming and are prepared.
This is also a reminder that man cannot bring true peace or security, for only God and his Christ is capable to do such.
For whatever man touches, something gets tainted elsewhere.
That being said, violence, famine, fear, death is at an increase, especially in the US. Granted the economical Crisis taking place in the US, it is confirmed to slowly spill over into the EU. Elsewhere, heavy weaponry is being moved around in Glasgow, six deadly warheads making it's way over to the Royal Navy depot.
Fighter Jets flying over the skies of the United Kingdom.

World War III has not begun yet, it is only an Information War as is a Hot War, remember, do not speculate of a possibility. The dominos for WW III has yet to happened. As for Ukraine, the US and their allies do not truly care for them, for Ukraine is only a tool to be used as a crux against Russia, granted the US and their allies with NATO affiliates and their actions.
 
That being said, the same thing of what I had told you many times, years ago, is taking effect, as we can see, granted the actions of Russia and their allies; then again Truthers are always targeted by the MSM, perhaps now you see.
 
For you were always told  of who the true threat is, for the majority, it will be already too late, the white throne those will have to answer to eventually.
Going forward, you should be concern of what your next steps are in the coming Reset and the actions of both Babylon and the Beast.
As we speak, weaponry and resources are being moved in the UK area, namely Scotland, and the area of which I associate you with, Glasgow. A US ally is playing their hand in something serious, just so you know.

Essentially what I told Witness concerning the difference of those who are Prophets Inspired vs Prophets Not Inspired. Although both have Spiritual Insight, only the Prophets Inspired had such abilities to heal and raise the dead, even have visions, etc.
What I do not understand is the mainstream idea that such things people assume those Inspired still exist despite the very history of Christianity refuting the claim itself.
This was mentioned in a response to Witness.
Pages 39-41

@Witness By the way, granted I can't edited, pertaining to Galatians 1:1-11, this is true. No one can have visions at the level of a Prophet Inspired, therefore, anyone claiming, for example, an Angel showed them what Heaven looks like, or Hell; the claim of what God does to the wicked for an eternity to men, women and children, not only is the claim false, but that is indeed a legitimate Prophet who is false, especially one who claims to be a Prophet Inspired.

Due to the history that transpired after Apostle John, you can't attest to the Mainstream notion to assume such abilities still take place today.
You need be careful, for if the abilities that the Chosen and John had; people having this today, we would have never had the events of 325AD.
I had reasons to bring up Constantine.
That being said, what I quoted originally of which you ignored, refutes the claim, for Prophesying cannot be confused with what a Prophet Inspired is capable of vs a Prophet Not Inspired.
Also read carefully next time, for this was presented to you before:
 
It is not wise to confuse things as the Mainstreamers do.
As a side note, I talked about this when someone brought up those who claim to have visions of Hell.
The added irony to this, @Kosonen, who is also said to be chosen, would say something to a similar effect as I have.

The thing is, this is true, there is no one after John that is an Prophet Inspired, who outlived everyone, even those at Pentecost, who is a Prophet Inspired. This is extremely obvious due to the fact you have many denominations regarding the Abrahamic Faith, the existence of 2 factions of Christendom, etc. Likewise with the numerous Bible Translations, even revised.

Surely, former Jehovah's Witnesses would do better than that, but as I said in the past, even recently, Mainstream ideas tend to get the best of you.

I agree, we can all ask for Jehovah's holy spirit and receive it. I do not know what she means by "guidance". 
I know that the prophets in Israel received more Holy spirit than others so they could finish a specific task Jehovah wanted them to complete. This fits in with the meaning in Jehovah's name.  "He causes to become" makes people become what Jehovah needs them to be so they can complete a task he has for them.   Or Jehovah worked in them until the task was completed.  Take for  example Cyrus......  Jehovah anointed him and it is clear from his life that he had some diplomatic  skills that were exceptional.  But after he, as a pagan Zoroastrian, had completed the task assigned him (unknown to himself)  - he went to war again and again to extend his realm and was killed by a WOMAN!  it is clear that he did not receive Jehovah's Spirit any longer.
Regarding the gifts of the Spirit - these went away after the Apostle John died.  The special gifts were given by the Apostles who "laid their hands" on those who had not yet received the Spirit.  They then could do the gifts mentioned in 1Cor 14.  But 1 Cor 13 clearly show that these gifts would eventually end and LOVE would replace all gifts in the congregation.
I studied this very well after I came in the Truth because I ran into an apostolic sect in South Africa who believe they are the true Apostles (inherited the apostleship from the original Apostles who passed this on to the next generation). And they do all these weird falling down when receiving the Spirit etc. they talk in tongues and other "gifts " as well.
The secret to understanding this very well is to look to the history in the bible on the "laying on of hands".   If I remember correctly it was only the Apostles who could do this or those who received a special Apostleship. ..... (to be sent out). 
We no longer do the laying on of the hands and when John died these special gifts died with them. 
Moses could do special signs.  Some prophets could do them as well as Jesus and Apostles.  Why?   These signs helped to establish the new congregation - that was the purpose.
Hebrews 2: "For it began to be spoken through our Lord and was verified for us by those who heard him, 4  while God joined in bearing witness with signs and wonders* and various powerful works and with the holy spirit distributed according to his will.

For some of us who are aware, we knew things of this nature will happened. So we don't panic compared to the majority of society, and we take precaution. This is why I explained to Matthew what a Grey Man and Woman is, so the spotlight is not on those who passively display this nature.
That being said, with the things I just learned, the unaware or those who are not prepared will get caught off guard, perhaps in a span of 6 months; the US and their allies.
