Dmitar

1. They claim not to be prophets, yet they are prophesying. 2. They claim not to be part of this world, yet they are. 3. Likewise, they claim to hold the word of God, yet they don't. (Acts 7:60) 60 Then, kneeling down, he cried out with a strong voice: “Jehovah, do not charge this sin against them.” And after saying this, he fell asleep in death. HOW great a blessing it would be for all spiritual Israelites to learn well this lesson; viz., that if we accept the results of any matter as being good, and if we realized that we were guided to those results by divine providence, we should think and feel most generously, most kindly, toward those who were the instruments used by providence, notwithstanding the fact that they might have been unwilling instructors, or, like Joseph's brethren, have verily intended opposite results. Those who are enabled to take such a view of affairs and forces operating in their daily lives are enabled "always to triumph through the Lord," as the apostle expresses it. And such find no room for bitterness or railing, either against Satan or against any of his servants.

Does this mean, you as a Jehovah's witness draw strength from being part of this world? Please, don't compare yourself with my intentions. I have no intentions of being rude and obnoxious as apparently Jehovah Witnesses are here. I also don't find it necessary to be quarrelsome at every written statement. Likewise, I'll leave that up to people here. It appears people here are the only ones that can post without both sides being ruthless to a newcomer.

Can you explain your thought, as a Jehovah's Witness, how you justify this part of your comment as the Lord's approved workman? When even with your own bible, you must understand 2 Timothy 2. (2 Timothy 2:20-26) 20 Now in a large house there are utensils not only of gold and silver but also of wood and earthenware, and some for an honorable use but others for a use lacking honor. 21 So if anyone keeps clear of the latter ones, he will be an instrument for an honorable use, sanctified, useful to his owner, prepared for every good work. 22 So flee from youthful desires, but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a clean heart. 23 Further, reject foolish and ignorant debates, knowing that they produce fights. 24 For a slave of the Lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle toward all, qualified to teach, showing restraint when wronged, 25 instructing with mildness those not favorably disposed. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to an accurate knowledge of truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the Devil, seeing that they have been caught alive by him to do his will. What does politics have to do with a righteous person calling to spirituality? Does staying awake and seeing the signs come under a debate for a Christian? 2 Timothy 2:14

Hadn’t this none Christian inquiry already been answered in another thread? Chinese Official Accused of Sexual Assault Played Key Role in Setting Up Beijing 2022 Olympics HONG KONG—Beijing has turned to a familiar playbook to deflect criticism and minimize discussion in China about a tennis star, analysts and rights activists say, as it faces global questions about sexual-assault allegations. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide Approved and proposed for signature and ratification or accession by General Assembly resolution 260 A (III) of 9 December 1948 Entry into force: 12 January 1951, in accordance with article XIII The atrocities are “egregious,” indeed, since the Chinese government’s actions in Xinjiang have violated and continue to violate every single provision in the UN’s Genocide Convention, and include mass detentions, forced labor, torture, forced sterilization, and rape. CHINA 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT Genocide and crimes against humanity occurred during the year against the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang. These crimes were continuing and included: the arbitrary imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty of more than one million civilians; forced sterilization, coerced abortions, and more restrictive application of China’s birth control policies; rape; torture of a large number of those arbitrarily detained; forced labor; and the imposition of draconian restrictions on freedom of religion or belief, freedom of expression, and freedom of movement. Significant human rights issues included: arbitrary or unlawful killings by the government; forced disappearances by the government; torture by the government; harsh and life-threatening prison and detention conditions; arbitrary detention by the government, including the mass detention of more than one million Uyghurs and other members of predominantly Muslim minority groups in extrajudicial internment camps and an additional two million subjected to daytime-only “re-education” training; political prisoners; politically motivated reprisal against individuals outside the country; the lack of an independent judiciary and Communist Party control over the judicial and legal system; arbitrary interference with privacy; pervasive and intrusive technical surveillance and monitoring; serious restrictions on free expression, the press, and the internet, including physical attacks on and criminal prosecution of journalists, lawyers, writers, bloggers, dissidents, petitioners, and others as well as their family members, and censorship and site blocking; interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association, including overly restrictive laws that apply to foreign and domestic nongovernmental organizations; severe restrictions and suppression of religious freedom; substantial restrictions on freedom of movement; refoulement of asylum seekers to North Korea, where they have a well-founded fear of persecution; the inability of citizens to choose their government; restrictions on political participation; serious acts of corruption; forced sterilization and coerced abortions; forced labor and trafficking in persons; severe restrictions on labor rights, including a ban on workers organizing or joining unions of their own choosing; and child labor. The King of the North that is now comprised of China and Russia are positioning themselves. Why should it matter to a Christian on how man concludes its earthly race? Christians just need to know it will and be spiritually prepared for it.

Meaning of Dmitar: Name Dmitar in the Croatian origin, means The one who loves the earth… Name Dmitar is of Croatian origin and is a Boy name. People with name Dmitar are usually Christianity, by religion.

Salutations, Space Merchant. This is what I feared. It appears no one here can hold a civil tongue in order to have a constructive and a healthy debate. Therefore, I will stay silent in order not to offend anyone or be a cause of any further quarrels in my behalf. I can see where the left and the right will come together to vacate someone that is not welcomed in this forum.

Friend, I was I clear enough for you on the reason why I made the moniker change? I am not the one twisting things around. To the contrary. You claim slander when you, yourself, slander. I merely pointed out, how could you address that situation before a court since you made an idol threat to do so in another post against your former institution if they slandered you. A lawyer would need to understand your reasoning. I was not offering you my service, since it's clear you would undoubtedly lose in a court. There is no deceit, and I'm sorry you feel that way. I recommend you accept everything that is posted against you, if you are just venting online. There's no need to be rude and obnoxious about it. Perhaps, you are not a Christian in a Christian oriented forum. It is still no excuse not to be civil. This suggests you do hold anger and hate. If you want to use words like slander, I propose you keep your slander in check. Once again, friend. Was I unclear for the reason I made the name change, or are you just like the rest here that seem to thrive over arguments, being quarrelsome? If that is the case, why have this forum if people can't conduct themselves in a civil manner. This suggests this forum is not, Christian but a platform to vent and argue just like the world.

Friend, is this the person that influenced your rude behavior?

IF THE child of God would draw very near, and would have the blessed realization of the Father's smile of approval continually, he must seek to have a conscience void of offense toward God and toward men—a conscience which can truthfully say, I am striving to do that which would be pleasing to the Lord, that which is in full harmony with my covenant of sacrifice; and I am striving also to do that which would justly have the approval of righteous men.

Can you explain how one should take, evil lawyer as? Or are you just another Jehovah's Witness entrenched in bitterness and being rude? It would seem you Jehovah Witnesses just love to quarrel. Is your kind of behavior here indicative of your institution?

Friend, I have no idea what your problem is, please don't make whatever allies you're life, be part of mine. I wish no ill will against anyone. If you are a Christian, you need to work on your bitterness, and rudeness. If you are a Jehovah Witness, you bring shame upon your own organization. Is this your intent?

If I was to defend you in a court of law, would this mean a "personal" experience or empathy for others that have been subjected to a crime. You are correct, Any wrongdoer needs to go before the courts. Can you personally prove in a court of law, those subjected to harm which you have empathy for, can be demonstrated by actual and legal evidence? Referencing internet banter is not evidence. Then you would have to accept, since your request is being met, there is no slander or wrongdoing, and that institution is correctly applying the UK data protection policy. Just like, when a person gets fired from a job, slander cannot be attached to how an institution deals with its internal decisions. An Active religious member can be dismissed for none compliance of that institution's bylaws. Can you personally prove CSA in a court of law in your behalf, and is that evidence under your care? However, I do not see where a legal proceeding would be inclined to hear "failed predictions" as evidence to CSA. Once again, do you have direct knowledge, this institution willfully withheld evidence in your case? Do you possess this evidence? If you don't, this is the type of argument that can be levied against you. This is painful to read friend. I hope your anger will not make this a true outcome.

Then I don't see an equitable point to your argument if you are not willing to subject God's proper name from its original language. I also made a reference to LATIN, which you have not acknowledged. The presumption you are riding on is, not seeing that I'm referencing the proper use of God's personal name from the old style to the new style. Jehovah under the linguistic understanding is the MOST appropriate form, rather than YHWH or Yahweh, for modern usage; Jehovah Witnesses don't have a monopoly on God's name. From the original "pictograph" the Shepherds staff (J) should have stayed. Everyone here seems to demand quarrels. This is problematic for a civil discussion. Once again, my intent was not to make this quarrelsome.

Friend, what part of my tutorial didn't make that clear for you? " Regardless of the script and lettering, under the Hebrew language with old script and new linguist changes. The use of (J) and or (Y) is most appropriate. Therefore, the most appropriate use of Yahweh is for the old script and Jehovah is for the new standard on linguistics and is in line with the Hebrew Language of old."

Since, it appears there are a few here that had a problem with my moniker, I have made a change. I hope this change will not have a negative impact as my last one.

Friend, can you explain this motive? I merely ask, since you have a strong emotional attachment to child abuse that other people do. That makes their behavior a judgment for the courts, not a true Christian. How can any institution be blamed by the actions of another, worldly or not? I noticed in another post, you mentioned the data protection law of the U.K. I reference this here since it appears you have concerns over your personal information, while demanding that same institution violate that U.K. law to expose private information shielded by that same law for an institution, for the same reason you outlined for yourself. My example here would be, if I was to defend you in a court of law, how could we demonstrate, your right to data protection against the data protection compliance of an institution? Let me clarify my position. If you want to sue an institution for slander? How can we disprove your own slander, malice, defamation, against that institution you wish to sue for violating your right to data protection. I say this since there are numerous post here that could be used as evidence to show such slander about that institution and its members in a court of law. Should any of this be indicative of a person, of Christian faith?

When you look at the letters YHWH which only consists of consonants, you have to define those letters. YHWH, THVH, Yahweh, Jahaveh, Jehovah etc. There are some people even within their own native language that don’t fully appreciate the significance of the letters. What meaning did the Hebrews put behind a letter. The “J” can be seen as a mistake, or as a visual for the pictograph of a Shepherds staff (LAM). The Greeks changed the LAM to LAMDA i.e. (LAMBDA) which gave its definition to (I) and the Romans used it for (L). In earlier works, Yahweh, or the earliest form of God’s name, (Yahwe)-(Yahve) 490 CE transferred into Latin with an I. Iahweh (Iahveh). One can make the argument based on the earliest pictograph, the letter (J) or shepherd staff should have prevailed. The point would be, define the old script in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek Language What meaning did the letters YHWH represent? 1. Hey: Power of Being 2. Vav: Connection and Unification (WaW) 3. Yad: Hand (Yod) The little that holds a lot Vav Vav (Waw) is the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet Numerical value: 6 Sound: "V," "OH" and "OO" 1905-History_of_the_People_of_Israel page 69 THE NAME OF IAHVEH. It is very possible that the long history of religion, which, starting from the nomad's tent, has resulted in Christianity or Islamism, derives from primitive Assyria, or from Accadian Assyria, as it is called, another element of capital importance; that is, the name of Iahoué or Iahveh. * This proper name is, in the theology of the nomad Semite, a strange misuse of terms. Why should a proper name be given to one who has no congener, who is alone of his kind? The name was in all probability borrowed by these peoples from abroad. Since the earliest form of God’s name was sung without it being scripted (Poetry), then we can only hope the name Jehovah comes as close as it was sung millennia ago. It would be more fitting to respect our creator with a personal name than just a title of supreme being (God-Elohim) or to structure his name by just the tetragrammaton, Yhwh. Remember, some original Israelites along with many nations corrupted, God's name by comparing it to other Gods like Baal. It’s with later copyist that we assume Jesus didn’t use God’s name because the Greeks and Romans (Latin) challenged God’s name of the Jews while the Jews became fearful enough to use God's name and instead substituted many variations of God's title such as, Abba, Ali, Elohim, Théos or Kyrios instead of God’s personal name. In Hebrew, ʾehyeh is a first-person singular and yhwh looks like a third-person singular—though perhaps one would have expected a present tense (the usual unhappy English translation) to be marked by a perfect form rather than an imperfect form which seems never to be used in that way. It is also rather unusual for a name to be made up solely of a third-person finite verb, rather than containing a shortened form of a verb. But perhaps the most obvious question is, what is the divine name here—ʾehyeh ʾasher ʾehyeh, ʾehyeh, or yhwh? Yhwh clearly, and the second, sole, ʾehyeh, which functions in 14b as a proper name perhaps, but what of the initial declaration? With this observation above and it's reasoning, one can argue the trinity. However, is it realistic? Can we use the Greek name of supreme being Zeus to be compared to God? Derivation and Meaning of the Name The name Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew verb havah, “to be,” or “being.” This word is almost exactly like the Hebrew verb, chavah, “to live,” or “life.” One can readily see the connection between being and life. Thus, when we read the name Jehovah, or Lord in capital letters, in our Bible we think in terms of being or existence and life, and we must think of Jehovah as the Being who is absolutely self-existent, the One who in Himself possesses essential life, permanent existence. It is worth observing in this connection that the Hebrew personal pronoun translated “he” in our Bible is strikingly similar in the Hebrew to the verb havah, which means being. And in some significant passages, the word he, used of God, is the equivalent to the true and eternal God, that is, the One who always exists, eternal and unchangeable. The purpose of the JW.org, to use Jehovah in the O.T. and N.T. seems simple enough. To differentiate between Father and Son, when a conflict appears with, the title (Lord) is used. Regardless of the script and lettering, under the Hebrew language with old script and new linguist changes. The use of (J) and or (Y) is most appropriate. Therefore, the most appropriate use of Yahweh is for the old script and Jehovah is for the new standard on linguistics and is in line with the Hebrew Language of old. The thing to realize with the consonants YHWH is, all the modern vowels are included in every way. (A), (E), (O), and the consonant letter (V) are part of the Hebrew consonant system by its sound. Therefore, Jehovah is the most appropriate sounding personal name of God as indicated by the Hebrew Language, given by the illustration above. Start with the Shepherd’s staff.

I agree friend. My thought is not just in statistics, no more than facts. These are plain to see. Race Relations in America_ Examining the Facts-ABC-CLIO (2021) Data collected on fatal police shootings reveal that African Americans are approximately 2.5 to 3 times more likely than white Americans to be killed by police. One explanation for the racial disparity frequently used to defend police killings of African Americans is that they are more likely than whites to be armed and to resist arrest, thus necessitating violent force by police. A competing explanation centers on the racial biases of police officers and maintains that the explicit and implicit biases of officers affect the snap judgments they make about African Americans—including whether or not to shoot. Research provides support to the latter perspective, though the evidence is not conclusive. HEARINGS BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, NINETY -EIGHTH CONGRESS FIRST SESSION ON POLICE MISCONDUCT JUNE 16, JULY 18, SEPTEMBER 19, AND NOVEMBER 28, 1983 Robin (1963) studied 32 fatal shootings by police in Philadelphia from 1950 to 1960. Twenty-eight, or 87.5 %, of these involved blacks, in a population estimated to be about 22 % black. The proportion of those killed who were black, then, exceeded population - based expectation by 65.5%. Robin also reports that the population - based rate of deadly force for blacks in Philadelphia was about 22 times that of whites. Results of a mail survey for seven other cities indicate a range from six to nearly thirty times the white rate for blacks. Takagi (1974) draws upon data from the VITAL STATISTICS, and reports that 48.7 % of the decedents due to police use of deadly force nationwide were black in 1960 through 1968. He estimates that 10 % of the population at that time was black, yielding a higher-than-expected black representation among deadly force decedents of 38.7 %. He further describes these data as revealing that while deadly force rates for both blacks and whites increased over these years, the rate for blacks was always at least nine times as high for blacks as it was for whites. It is true, conditions have improved over the decades, but not to a noticeable extent from another race perspective. My observation is on why is it necessary to make any distinctions from God’s creation, here. This is one reason why “whites” in America think they are obligated to maintain their superiority over other races. A predicament that is even vocal in this forum. Why? What is the need?

Can you clarify what you mean? Are you displaying discontent by a moniker that is not your own, or does it have to do with misguided emotional issues of not being able to have a civil discussion? You mentioned if I could give you one or two examples for your consideration on bad behavior, this is example 2. Once again, my intent was not to make this a quarrelsome issue. Perhaps I am dealing with the wrong type of Christians here. "IF any man would be more abundantly used of the Lord in His blessed service, let him seek first to be fitted for it more and more. Let him imitate that beloved and honored servant, Moses, in meekness, humility, energy and untiring zeal and self-sacrificing service of the Lord. But the wise steward will seek always to cultivate along the lines of his natural abilities, and not expect the Lord to work a miracle for his advancement, and so waste valuable time seeking to develop that which he does not by nature possess."

I believe this sarcasm defines this moniker as either the librarian or JWinsider. People distant to influence bad behavior. Certainly not conductive of good Christian standards. Sad really, when human imperfection takes the best of us.

You would have to ask, xero on crafting such displeasure from his behavior.

Can you explain your personal interpretation of what "noisy" is by definition in contrast to the name Srecko? I understand Srecko can mean luck. However, philosophically, it stands out. The Given Name Srecko Bold and sweet, it is a name considered by many parents. An auspicious name, it is one that will be admired. Definition I use: Of a person or group of people), stridently seeking to attract attention to their views. How is this in your view a jibe or unflattering? Perhaps you see something other than genuine. However, if Srecko feels offended rather than be mirrored in excellence by name. I will be happy to rename my moniker at your pleasure. Does everything have to be quarrelsome to you as a follower of Christ? On a previous post, you suggested I give you an example for your consideration. Consider this example 1.

I see Christian life dos not dwell in your life. It's a shame when one becomes the very instrument of our own discontent of others. Perhaps one day, God will heal what you have broken.

I am unaware a moniker can be considered unkind. Perhaps you can explain this?

Allow me to express a profound thought, friend, and I hope you will not take it the wrong way. I pray you don't. May your strength carry you over a 100. Be at peace and forgive yourself in these trying time. Do not look upon yourself as an unrepentant person but instead a lost sheep looking for a righteous Shepherd. You seem to have lost confidence in the people around you. Stop, think, and reflect on what scripture means in the personal relationship you need to reconnect with Jehovah. Christian faith while unified cast a greater self-worth of faith. It is by virtue of our personal relationship with God that will ultimately be our salvation. God demanded the unity of his chosen people. He expects no less from spiritual Israel. May you find time to reignite your service to Jehovah. My apologies in advance if my words offend you in any way. May peace and love carry you in your journey.
