You can respect a woman for her godly acts of conduct. But I do not think you will appreciate it when a woman tries to rule over you. There have been cases where they have been removed..... so yes, no-one is above Jehovahs laws. The difference is: the modern slave gives food to the fellow workers as predicted for the last days..

Always the OCD. You want to rule and teach right now do you? A woman? You do not want to wait until the time for this comes? You conveniently forget that arrogantly pushing ahead is a sin? You never explain what is the role of elders! Because you feel that you should be doing their job and they are oppressing you - the true anointed who is higher than they are ? We all know that Jesus was "appointed" as judge - so in effect jehovah is judging. Throughout the 2 millenia there have been anointed but it is only in connection with the "presence" in last days that a slave is mentioned.

I speak now from memory only. I recall our Daniel book very well because I also know this secular history very well. The great horn that destroyed 3 other seafaring nations (Spain, France, Netherlands) was the British empire which eventually became the beast in Revelation- the lamb with 2 horns who is the false prophet - the Anglo-American world power. Dan 7:23 &24 This horn came up from the 4th beast in Daniel which was the beast made of Iron. When Britain broke away from the Papacy in the time of Hendry 8 and Hendry created the church of England this horn came up and gained strength to become the British empire. Although America broke away from Britain they have always worked together and people will be surprised how many secret British societies still wield power in USA. They still work in unison. This power rules over Jehovahs people for only 3 and half times. Daniel 7:25. This king (anglo-american empire) is the seventh head of the beast that came out of the wicked sea of mankind. Rev 13 The king which is the 8th king will rule in the final time of end. The "image of the beast" is the 8th king because the other kings willingly give it authority for a short period. (Re-read our information this week in the mid-week meeting). This is why I watch everything pertaining to UN or as GB says:- a coalition of nations. You will be shocked to learn that 176 nations have already signed 3 agreements which have given UN authority to decide global policies. The UN wants one world government in the west. Some countries do not like UN policies and call it "globalism" which they are fighting with a populist "nationalism." Globalists want to remove all borders and bring one set of digital currency - hence the fight over Brexit in UK and trump in US. They want a world federation of nations. Basically they want to form one world government in which they can control all policies- so they can call out "peace and security" in their own time. How it will play out no-one knows but this is what is now happening. They are manipulating currencies at present and hope to bring in a new / or new currencies in by 2022. The Petro-dollar will go away. They want to control all money. Those who do not play ball will not be able to buy or sell. Countries and individuals are already being cut off..... it will get worse. If you want more information on these agreements: it is Agenda 21, Agenda 2030 and UN Migration compact 2018.

I do not just look at the scriptures you quoted but also the ones referring to the other parts of the spiritual temple for one. Why do you not explain the courtyard of the temple but only the areas the priests went into? This area also has a greater fulfillment ...... You accuse me of listening to a bunch of old men - I happen to agree with them and disagree with you because you are not honest...... you only give answers to the parts that suits you. .... and leave out some inconvenient facts. As I have said before - it is what deceivers do NOT tell you that is important. They conveniently have amnesia regarding most relevant facts.

Before the throne is on earth...... and you can offer incense (prayers) anywhere you are. You need not do it in front of brothers. It is very telling that you do not talk about the courtyard of the temple where the ordinary folk could pray, listen to the reading of the law and watch procedures in the temple - who do they represent in the greater fulfillment? Seeing your repetition of the same old , same old condemnation tells me you are very stubborn and you are not open to anything but your own opinion - which is not even close to the truth.

Yes, the entire history of mankind is one of injustice, war, murder, oppression and vile crimes against each other. The laws given to Israel were to teach them Jehovahs standards as a dedicated nation so they could be acceptable to him to carry his name. When they followed his laws it went well and they could experience peace and happiness as individuals and as a nation. Other cultures, (i.e. china/africa/) who did not know jehovah, had their own laws which often were extremely cruel to their fellow men and animals. If people do not understand this concept: that every human is wicked (born in sin) and always veers towards injustice and oppression, then they think too much of themselves and will not repent and turn their life around as individuals. Soon we will see the full effect of leaving jehovah's ways behind on the entire globe. Most people are leaving christendom and in effect becoming godless while other religions with spiritistic practices are growing exponentially. The earth was so wicked before the flood that jehovah decided to step in. We are heading down the same pathway very fast and this time the tribulation experienced will be more extreme. But jehovah will cut it short to save those who were not "better" than others but were acceptable to Him because they showed love for his name and loyally tried to follow his moral standards. Thankfully, jehovah judges us as individuals - not collectively. This is something collectivists do not understand. This new modern progressive philosophy (which replaces the bible and has permeated vast parts of western society, apart from the nationalists)) tends to put people in groups which are protected, or not. It is collectivist in thinking - judging groups of people deserving to be removed from society or not. China is already removing groups of people they have identified as undesirable and so is Russia (albeit in different ways but the concept is the same). Many people in the west already have collectivist thinking and no doubt, I guess, will remove identified 'groups' in future which are inconvenient to have around - such as the mention of christ's name as Matthew 24 indicates. The stage is already set. I think (personal opinion), the establishment may unjustly incarcerate our GB on some silly pretext and even go as far as liquidating our property and think they have dealt with us. This will test our personal loyalty to Jehovah because some may think he has left his people. Then all religions will have to go (like in china) and the political system will proceed to dismantle their religious bedfellows who took the lead in turning people away from the randsom of christ (world empire of false reliigion) and promoted spiritistic practices. The world will see that faithful JWs are still serving as a nation and as individuals - by this time the world economy will have fallen or on its last breath - that our activities will be like 33kg hailstones or the stinging of vipers. They will launch an outright attack of hateful extermination against us. We know the outcome. Yes - we are no better than any-other here on earth. We are just too aware of our inadequacies...... but as individuals we have attached ourselves to the name of jehovah and Jesus and His principles. We are in this marriage loyally to the end.

I loved the things mentioned above and can only add that we have principles or guidelines but imperfect people make them into rules.

So explain your personal experience in this matter which contradicts mine.

Making money? If he is in Africa he will be fortunate to make 10 dollars a week. BIG business. Do not see your own exaggerations? People who demean others use this form of deceit

At least we tried to stop it from happening via a database. So people could not go without a record to another congregation. Other organizations did NOTHING. Again, you critisized too quickly - not understanding all the issues involved. I leave it at that..... Do not be condescending. I know the full impact of this crime in all the world - something you do not wish to understand because you only focus on the JWs. Where there are children - this crime exists. While governments are eager to follow up on JW cases there is wholesale cover up on behalf of the rich and "protected" religions and societies. We have the same rule for all sins. If you committed adultery - the details of your sins would not be blabbed out to the entire congregation. So it is not a matter of covering up - but respecting the privacy of those involved. Court cases of defamation can also ensue if it was announced without conviction in a legal court. It is not kind to do this as the innocent victim may also be hurt by this. Regarding reporting to authorities (before it became mandatory), many families have chosen not to report because of the consequences to the victim. Additionally, being dragged to court and being put under cross examination. Do not think you have the right to advise God or tell him what to do.

When my daughter had her cancer operation I had a couple sit with me. I explained my stance to the doctor myself. I had no pressure. BUT this emotion is in the eye of the beholder.... it says a lot about you.

I had one and I used it. But then, I am not squeamish but practical.

I love it when kids play.....

There is so little work in Africa..... but I do not know where he lives. Some brothers in USA make bible covers, literature bags to sell..... so this is same idea.

They go to doctors and hospitals to explain our blood stance. They visit brothers in hospital awhen they are seriously ill. They sit with you and support you during serious surgeries when you request assistance. I experienced this help during the time my daughter had her cancer surgery. I was not coerced by any one on my stance regarding blood. So the assumption above that they act as watchdogs is ludicrous...... it is assigning bad motives where there are none.

Bingo! Not to Angel's or people with heavenly bodies...... to those made for earth!

We do hate sexual abuse but you are so totally critical that you do not recognize any efforts JWs have done (when there were no laws in place) to do something about this..... being totally unreasonable. You also do not have the capacity to put yourself in another organizations shoes. .... to look at an issue from BOTH sides......nor reasonable but only one sided. Hence my contention that you have joined the haters....... no constructive criticism but totally destructive. ....

I guess you did not read Isaiah 66:1

Ok, ok, I get it.

There is the most holy where the high priest (Jesus) went in; and the Holy place where only the underpriests served.....they also served in the priestly courtyard. I said to you in my previous answer that you ignore the other parts of the temple.......... Underpriests went into the....court of priests with the altar...... so where did the ordinary folk go? The inner "courtyard of Israel" for the Hebrew men - where they participated and watched the priests ( women originally were allowed in this courtyard as well but were later separated in the court of women (outer court). Women were required to hear scriptures read. And later the most outer court for the gentiles/proselites was added by Herod. This is where Jesus taught and where the cleansing of the temple took place - the area where they were selling animals. This area symbolises the earthly sheep who also serve day and night in this temple.....as the sun never sets on our prayers and service...

You forgot to mention many of the organizations such as scouts etc that closed their doors and cannot get taken to court..... and are not held accountable....You also name only one Jewish case when there are many....many ....and you also forgot the muslem 9 year old marriages that are thrown out of court and nothing done! Many rape gangs in UK for 15 years and police turn a blind eye. Why do you not go and stand in the street in front of mosque when the next 9 year old gets married. Stand with a placard indicati g you are against 9 year old marriages in your own country. Then you will see where the true sympathies of governments lie and if your government really cares about 9 year old victims who cannot give consent for marriage. Do they really care about the continued rape of 9 year olds? ......... will you find yourself behind bars? Heh?.

You know the scriptures..... there are no scriptures referring to fractions. Apart from medicines and vitamins with blood fractions, there is talk of beauty products made from fetuses, impossible burger synthetic meat which has DNA in it which causes it to bleed etc. Yes man is getting pretty wicked and innovative.... so it depends on the person- what they know and what they do not know.....

Definitely. So when I see unreasonableness, only hateful criticism (not constructive criticism), lies about what JWs teach, I can go on about the negatives.......then I realize there is a "spirit" allright - but not coming from Jehovah. John 8:44 apply to these people.

Yea, I go where my husband goes. But I keep active preaching. I do not promote myself in any way....... keep focussed on the kingdom. I could have promoted myself - but I did not. I appreciate the truth and its aim to try to stick to Jehovahs high moral standards...... and as jehovah said we must have godly justice, mercy and love. Display these qualities as prescribed by Jah.

Do not twist my words...... I said people do not have respect for blood. So no- we are NOT to consume whole blood in any way. When it comes to fractions, it is a personal decision, such as vaccinations - which are grown with fetus tissue etc.
