Who are declared righteous for life ?
Evacuated replied to Diakonos's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
I understand Ph.2:9-11 to indicate that every intelligent creation will be subject to Christ. As Ps 37:29 speaks of righteous ones living forever on earth, so this constitutes one destiny. Obviously, a heavenly hope is held out in the Scripture also (Heb.3:1), so this relates to the other destiny.- 84 replies

My position, unfortunately, with your aggressive and impertinent responses, is to apply, with regret, the advice of the apostle Paul so eloquently expressed at 2 Tim. 2:23: "Further, reject foolish and ignorant debates, knowing that they produce fights." In more modern parlance, I suppose: "You're fired!".- 84 replies

Evacuated replied to Diakonos's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
Whilst illuminating, these discussions are disappointing as to the spirit they show existed both amongst certain witnesses in the past and those who inherit their legacy. Jesus had no objection to submitting to water baptism by imperfect, unworthy John the Baptizer in order to "carry out all that is righteous". Matt.3:13-15. No clergy-laity hocus pocus existed there. Why would anyone object to being brought to righteousness by someone else as described at Dan.12:3?- 84 replies

Then I cannot follow your logic as those addressed by Paul were designated as Abraham's offspring, due to become "heirs with reference to a promise". Abraham was not, therefore........................ different destiny. You don't subscribe to the Trinity doctorine by any chance do you?- 84 replies

Well, don't misquote. I said "the first century Christians addressed by Paul". Anyway, those who were addressed by Paul in "a mini-Romans" could become "Abraham's offspring, heirs with reference to a promise" (Gal. 3:29), and therefore part of "the Israel of God" (Gal.6:16). As one whose faith was "counted to him as righteousness", Abraham will receive a place in the "resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous" (Acts 24:15). It seeems unlikely to me that Abraham was destined to become one of his own offspring, so on that basis, his and first century Christians destines differ.- 84 replies

Last Sunday for us. I am not sure what congregation you attend if that is not happening for you. Really, the contributions for the Worldwide work are managed by Jehovah's organisation with due attention given to relief measures where needed. And I read many reports regarding specific JW relief measures taking place in many parts of the world, in the international press, on jw.org, and even on this forum. The web page linked below is a good place to start if you want some detail. https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/assist-with-disaster-relief/

Genesis. Chapters 11-25 Despite his righteous standing and his significant role in the outworking of God's purpose subsequent to the event described at Gen. 12:1-3, Abraham did not become one of the spirit-anointed, baptised, born-again followers of Christ addressed by Paul in Rom Chap.4 before he died. Therefore, his destiny differed from those who do.- 84 replies

Can you provide a reasonably accurate breakdown of how these millions are spent in order to evaluate the propriety of their allocation and thus enable an address to your question?

A new name. Gods Kingdom Rules.
Evacuated replied to Diakonos's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
"Apparently" is a subjective term, and rightly so. Actually, what Jehovah minds and what Jehovah allows are two very different things are they not?. Compare Rom.9:22. -

Not for me. Does it for you? Obviously, Abraham's destiny and that of the first century Christians addressed by Paul differ, as did Jehovah's requirements for them in their time, but their being righteous in God's eyes does not.- 84 replies

JW Child Labor for Jehovah
Evacuated replied to The Librarian's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
Child Labor is a rather emotive term in this day and age don't you think?? What we are seeing is an example of Ps.148:12-13 or Matt.21:15 -
Well........ this is a classic example of why Jehovah has seen to it that real "spiritual food at the proper time" is provided only by "the faithful and discreet slave" in these last days. Matt 24:45.

Not so many words really. It just says that some brothers have a lot more money than many others.

Seems to me that the word "righteousness" is a bit like the word "perfection". It's meaning has a lot to do with whose standard it is meeting, the purpose for which it is required, and the context in which it is used. With that in mind, obviously Abraham's place in the outworking of God's purpose is different to that of the "anointed", if by that term you are referring to humans who leave the material realm and go to heaven to become "kings and priests" with Christ in his heavenly kingdom.- 84 replies

I can see how, on the surface, this may appear to be well-motivated in view of the circumstances as described. However, there are risks such as: Repercussions due to undesirable actions of individuals who may not live up to Christian standards. The manager's statement above could be viewed as discriminatory.

Is the Governing body still "spirit directed"?
