Patiently waiting for Truth

As fare as, "Are JWs in America back on the 'door to door' work now?"

I had lunch with my brother in law who is a long time elder yesterday here in Southern California and his answer was, no. 

I asked him what about the cart witnessing, and he simply said that they will continue as they have been by doing the letter and phone witnessing.

This is exactly the point. Thanks. The Watchtower has ALWAYS turned the generation into a zone of dates. When the Watchtower's previous zone of dates was no longer tenable, there was an excellent oppo

No, especially because we are ALL participants of debates under JW Open Club. :) 

What is being discussed has nothing to do with the Watchtower, bur the core teaching in relation to Prophets inspired and not inspired.

The fact people are aware of who lasted into the end of the 1st century, is common knowledge.

That being said, Ukraine has nothing to do with the Watchtower or Toxin waste, but it did not stop you from speaking, let alone speculate World War III.

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.

But are animals around Chernobyl getting cancer, 30 years after the accident?

“It's very rare that we see cancer in wild animals, regardless of radiation levels,” Brown says.

https://sciencenorway.no/forskningno-norway-radioactivity/can-animals-and-plants-tolerate-more-radioactivity-than-us/1431783

In fact, a debate roils in the scientific literature about the health of the microbes, fungi, plants and animals that live around Chernobyl. Some scientists have documented thriving wildlife now that people have left, suggesting that lingering radioactive contamination doesn’t pose a significant threat. But other scientists have found mostly negative effects of radiation on the health and abundance of creatures, from birds to mammals, with many populations smaller in more heavily contaminated areas. This controversy has only sharpened in recent years. https://knowablemagazine.org/article/food-environment/2022/scientists-cant-agree-about-chernobyls-impact-wildlife

Did you bother to do the research after the failed BBC article?

Other then that, because of Ukraine, they're trying to get others involved in the war, some people, volunteers is said to have become Canon Fodder and their passports destroyed, entrapment.

I saw that. A couple of different soldiers escaped and had the same story. Some of these volunteer soldiers have even come from the US, and the local soldiers don't want them on the ground alongside them, but will use them for suicide missions.

And you have failed due to the remark below, even prior you talked about drones, has nothing to do with JWs, but a country of which is most likely being lured into war.

 

And as mentioned before, I do not do opinions.

Robert Hendrics, a JW spokesperson speaks about all kind of worship, that members doing in this period, as "modern day miracle". Also,  how WTJWorg is  now "much more accessible organization". And about "hybrid format in the future".

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.

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

I don't do opinions, only facts and evidence. If I had one, you'd quote it directly, but granted this is an extreme rarity, you are making a claim that is unfounded, a mistake Cos made.

I have reasons as to why I do not lean upon opinions and it is quite obvious.

That being said, the fact I rely on research as well, I was not easily fooled by the BBC as you have shown yourself to have been.

Well it seems that SM knows for sure that no Prophet will ever be Inspired ever again. It's finished. 

I don't think so :) 

We do not know 'exactly' where we are in the stream of time.  We do not know how many years are left. 

SM is busy telling me that I don't use scripture to base my ideas on. SM seems to know more about me than God or Yeshua know. 

So to SM and ALL others here. I believe that in the 'last days' Inspired Prophets or Inspired Anointed ones will guide true Christians to truth and give true direction and help.

    • An interesting concept, bible discipline. I am struck by the prevalence of ignorance about spiritual discipline on "Reddit." While physical and mental disciplines receive attention, the profound impact of spiritual discipline on a person's physical and mental well-being is often overlooked. Is it possible to argue against the words of the Apostle Paul? When he penned those words in Hebrews 12, he was recognizing that there are moments when an individual must be "rebuked" in order to be corrected. Even Jesus himself established a precedent when he rebuked Peter and referred to him as Satan for failing to comprehend what Jesus had already revealed to the apostles. Did that imply that Jesus had an evil heart? Not at all, it was quite the opposite; Jesus had a loving heart. His need to correct Peter actually showcased his genuine love for him. If he hadn't cared, he would have let Peter persist in his mistaken ways, leading to a fate similar to Judas'. There is a clear emphasis on avoiding the apostate translation and its meaning, yet many seem to overlook the biblical foundation for the reasons NOT to follow the path of the fallen brethren or those with an apostate mentality. Those individuals have embraced the path of darkness, where the illuminating power of light cannot penetrate, to avoid receiving the righteous discipline based on God's Bible teachings. They are undoubtedly aware that this undeniable truth of life must be disregarded in order to uphold their baseless justifications for the unjust act of shunning. Can anyone truly "force" someone or stop them from rejecting a friend or family member? Such a notion would be absurd, considering the fact that we all have the power of free will. If a Witness decides to distance themselves from a family member or friend simply because they have come out as gay, who is anyone within the organization to question or challenge that personal sentiment? It is unfortunate that there are individuals, both within and outside the organization, who not only lack a proper understanding of the Bible but also dare to suggest that God's discipline is barbaric. We must remember that personal choices should be respected, and it is not for others to judge or condemn someone based on their sexual orientation but should be avoided under biblical grounds. No one should have the power to compel an individual to change their sexual orientation, nor should anyone be forced to accept someone for who they are. When it comes to a family's desire to shield their children from external influences, who has the right to challenge the parents' decision? And if a family's rejection of others is based on cultural factors rather than religious beliefs, who can impose religious judgment on them? Who should true followers of Christ follow? The words of God or those who believe they can change God's laws to fit their lives? How can we apply the inspired words of Paul from God to embrace the reality of God's discipline? On the contrary, how can nonconformists expect to persuade those with a "worldview" that their religious beliefs are unacceptable by ostracizing individuals, when God condemns homosexuality? This is precisely why the arguments put forth by ex-witnesses are lacking in their pursuit of justice. When they employ misguided tactics, justice remains elusive as their arguments are either weak or inconsistent with biblical standards. Therefore, it is crucial to also comprehend Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9:27. The use of the word "shun" is being exaggerated and excessively condemned by those who reject biblical shunning as a form of punishment. Eph 5:3-14 NIV 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person — such a man is an idolater — has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.  6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.  8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible. The impact of the message becomes significantly stronger when we emphasize the importance of avoiding any association with unrighteousness and those who remain unrepentant. In fact, it becomes even more compelling when we witness how some individuals, who dismiss biblical shunning as a method of discipline, excessively criticize and condemn the use of the word "shun". Therefore, Jehovah's Witnesses do not shun people; instead, they choose to focus on the negative actions being committed, which is in accordance with biblical teachings. This should be construed as ex-Witness rhetoric. Now, let's consider why ex-Witnesses specifically target one particular religion. What justifications do they provide when other Christian denominations also adhere to the same principle grounded in the Bible? Chapter 1 - Preface Both must therefore test themselves: the one, if he is qualified to speak and leave behind him written records; the other, if he is in a right state to hear and read: as also some in the dispensation of the Eucharist, according to  custom enjoin that each one of the people individually should take his part. One's own conscience is best for choosing accurately or shunning. And its firm foundation is a right life, with suitable instruction. But the imitation of those who have already been proved, and who have led correct lives, is most excellent for the understanding and practice of the commandments. "So that whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup."  It therefore follows, that every one of those who undertake to promote the good of their neighbours, ought to consider whether he has betaken himself to teaching rashly and out of rivalry to any; if his communication of the word is out of vainglory; if the the only reward he reaps is the salvation of those who hear, and if he speaks not in order to win favour: if so, he who speaks by writings escapes the reproach of mercenary motives. "For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know," says the apostle, "nor a cloak of covetousness. God is witness. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome as the apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children."   (from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume 2) Divine promises 2. The manner of shunning, in the word escaping. There is a flying away required, and that quickly, as in the plague, or from a fire which hath almost burned us, or a flood that breaketh in upon us. We cannot soon enough escape from sin (Matt 3:7; Heb 6:18). No motion but flight becomes us in this case. Doctrine: That the great end and effect of the promises of the gospel is to make us partakers of the Divine nature. (from The Biblical Illustrator)  
    • Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."
