First of all, wait until it happens.

Second, it has happened many times within scripture. Not exactly 'brilliant' to face the immense army unarmed with your singers in the lead, is it?

Please give me ONE SINGLE EXAMPLE of something like what you referenced happening in modern times, to any individual ... or any group of individuals .... anywhere on Earth .... ANYWHERE AT ALL ... in the last thousand years, TTH.

If you cannot .... it shows that the example you referenced does NOT apply to this discussion.

It's a "stretch" that snaps when tested.

Many sincere brothers now are quick to defend the mistakes of the past by saying that the number of little ones who were stumbled was actually a good thing. We've seem multiple comments on this forum

I was there, and paying attention. I know better.

Hmmmm... I thought the Governing Body was supposed to be faithful and discrete slaves .....   ministering to ..... to the brotherhood. The IDEA of providing " food at the proper time" is not to s

There is a reason that they call it a faith and that we allow ourselves to be instructed by the Bible.

Look, throw the Book in the dumpster already, will you? It doesn’t appear to interest you. Probably you can find something in the Philosophy or Science section of the library that will work better for you.

Since you, TTH, were unable to supply a SINGLE example, and had a time frame of a THOUSAND YEARS ( ... and more!) to draw from, it PROVES .... and you yourself by specific intentional omission have PROVIDED the proof .... that your opinions on this conversation thread are completely irrelevant.

The "proof is in the pudding" so to speak ... but FIRST ... you have to have some pudding.

Your opinions on pudding bowls may be valid in some other context, but are irrelevant here and now.

TTH:

And you may want to check your cut and paste voluminous postings from your book to the Apostate web site EXJW ... I did not scrutinize it as an Editor might, but It appears you pasted  it twice.

 

There are two subdivisions of grumblers that I address, neither of whom like JWs but for different reasons. I would like to post just once and CC it to other, but do not know how. You know your way around there FAR better than I. Can you help me out?

”Voluminous” may be the weakness. What used to be called “complete” is now voluminous. People’s attention spans are short and they respond only to short snippets that they can argue back and forth ad nauseum. I am just not up for it, nor do I think it is appropriate for a Christian. I am pushing it as it is by just going there.

When people do nothing but reinforce existing views, the picture gets exaggerated and skewed. That’s why I offer contrast, not for the origators sake, for that is almost certainly futile, but you never know who is hanging out there. The deciding factor for me was learning that the Philly reporter spent time there. Maybe others do too.

 I make statements and seldom answer replies, unless it gives opportunity for another statement. I do not get into conversations. I take for granted that I am going to be called an a*****e routinely and do not take it personally. When that happens, I let the comment stand without reply so that, to any impartial observer, they are left to twist in the wind of their own hateful words. How many impartial observers there are, if any, is the million dollar question.

I think Brother Lett is a pure hearted Wonderful Brother.  The Anointed should not be ridiculed out of respect for Jehovah's Arrangement of things. 

Judith, it is a very true and loyal comment you make, but on certain threads there are very few who have regard for Jehovah’s arrangement of things. Speaking with true brotherly affection, you should give consideration as to whether you want to be here. I don’t mean the entire forum. I just mean certain threads.

I agree with you to a certain extent ... but there is a line ... and it has to be drawn "somewhere" .... otherwise honest hearted people with the very best of intentions unknowingly will direct you to jump off a cliff (so to speak...) and ruin your life ... all with the very best of intentions.

As a young man, at periods in my life, I was more empathic, and  was sorta like the Congregation "Ann Landers".

I ruined several Brother's  lives with my ignorant advice ... with the very BEST of intentions, because I was not competent to give good advice, on the subject being discussed.

Perhaps they SHOULD have asked me about the things of which I was expert, such as photography ... but they did not.

Bro. Lett is in a position to help ... or ruin ....  MILLIONS of Brothers and Sisters lives ... so he has to be evaluated on what he actually says ... NOT his reasonably assumed pure heart and good intentions.

I have no doubt that Bro. Lett is deeply loved by Jehovah God, and many, many people.

Unfortunately, there is no way for me to wind back the clock, and make reparations for the unintentional evil I did ... and the same applies to almost anybody else, with very few exceptions ... and that includes Bro. Lett.

Here is an example, from his own words.

Being of the Anointed does NOT give license, or a "free Pass", to encourage deliberate cluelessness in others.

You are assuming things not in evidence, THH .... AGAIN.

I have "Google Alerts" set up to notify me on many topics ... and your name showed up on an  EXJW Web Link. ...

I have little doubt that it is like Mission Control at your place with signals constantly coming in from every bellyacher.

    • In my perspective, when the Smithsonian Magazine covers a topic, I am inclined to trust their expertise. As for the shadows here, I see no benefit in entertaining irrational ideas from others. Let them hold onto their own beliefs. We shouldn't further enable their self-deception and misleading of the public.  
    • Hey Self! 🤣I came across this interesting conspiracy theory. There are scholars who firmly believe in the authenticity of those artifacts. I value having conversations with myself. The suggestion of a mentally ill person has led to the most obscure manifestation of a group of sorrowful individuals. 😁
    • I have considered all of their arguments. Some even apply VAT 4956 to their scenarios, which is acceptable. Anyone can use secular evidence if they genuinely seek understanding. Nonetheless, whether drawing from scripture or secular history, 607 is a plausible timeframe to believe in. People often misuse words like "destruction", "devastation", and "desolation" in an inconsistent manner, similar to words like "besiege", "destroy", and "sack". When these terms are misapplied to man-made events, they lose their true meaning. This is why with past historians, the have labeled it as follows: First Capture of Jerusalem 606 BC Second Capture of Jerusalem 598 BC Third Capture of Jerusalem 587 BC Without taking into account anything else.  Regarding the second account, if we solely rely on secular chronology, the ancient scribes made military adaptations to align with the events recorded in the Babylonian Chronicles. However, the question arises: Can we consider this adaptation as accurate?  Scribes sought to include military components in their stories rather than focusing solely on biblical aspects. Similarly, astronomers, who were also scholars, made their observations at the king's request to divine omens, rather than to understand the plight of the Jewish people. Regarding the third capture, we can only speculate because there are no definitive tablets like the Babylonian chronicles that state 598. It is possible that before the great tribulation, Satan will have influenced someone to forge more Babylonian chronicles in order to discredit the truth and present false evidence from the British Museum, claiming that the secular view was right all along. This could include documents supposedly translated after being found in 1935, while others were found in the 1800s. The Jewish antiquities authorities have acknowledged the discovery of forged items, while the British Museum has not made similar acknowledgments. It is evident that the British Museum has been compelled to confess to having looted or stolen artifacts which they are unwilling to return. Consequently, I find it difficult to place my trust in the hands of those who engage in such activities. One of the most notable instances of deception concerning Jewish antiquities was the widely known case of the ossuary belonging to James, the brother of Jesus. I was astonished by the judge's inexplicable justification for acquittal, as it was evident that his primary concern was preserving the reputation of the Jewish nation, rather than unearthing the truth behind the fraudulent artifact. The judge before even acknowledged it. "In his decision, the judge was careful to say his acquittal of Golan did not mean the artifacts were necessarily genuine, only that the prosecution had failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Golan had faked them." The burden of proof is essential. This individual not only forged the "Jehoash Tablet," but also cannot be retried for his deceit. Why are they so insistent on its authenticity? To support their narrative about the first temple of Jerusalem. Anything to appease the public, and deceive God. But then again, after the Exodus, when did they truly please God? So, when it comes to secular history, it's like a game of cat and mouse.  
    • I'm not bothered by being singled out, as you seem to be accustomed to defending and protecting yourselves, but it's a good idea to keep your dog on a leash. Speaking of which, in a different thread, TTH mentioned that it would be great if everyone here shared their life stories. As both of you are the librarians here, I kindly ask you to minimize any signs of intimidation or insincerity. It is you people who need to be "banned" here. However, it is quite evident that you hold a negative influence, which God recognizes, therefore you are banned from your own conscience in His eyes.
