I apologize, but I am unable to comprehend your post, Srecko. It seems that there may be an issue with the link you provided, or I may be unable to access it myself. Could you please provide a brief summary of the idea you were attempting to convey?

Geoffrey Jackson as one of top leader and as one "guided by HS" openly say, "We just don't know", when speaking about some doctrine in JWs theology. But as they already prove many times, they don't know many things.

If He don't know, how you or me will know? lol

Srecko, the link is working. The observation about the people of Sodom and Gomorra is uncertain. Will those individuals be resurrected? The GB has indeed made an accurate assessment. However, can we anticipate the inclusion of individuals who have shown nothing but contempt for God's laws? I understand how someone who was misled by circumstances might be judged for their actions. In such cases, we must follow the pattern set for "repentance." Is it possible that someone there might have had a last-minute change of heart? Unfortunately, we do not have that information.

Now, can we say the same thing about people pre-flood?

If we consider the phrase "we just don't know" regarding the argument about Adam and Eve's clothing, we should focus on how soon after their expulsion from the garden God clothed them. If they were clothed as they were forced to leave, it might be argued that they were not technically inside the garden at that moment. This suggests that God's angel may have been clothing them as they were escorted out the gate. So, should we make an issue out of something difficult to determine?

"Technically speaking", we can still use Satan as a fashion designer, because he is a "murderer from the beginning", so what would be a problem for him to kill an animal for its skin? 

Figuratively, wearing leather clothing would mean that it was a specific "sign of Satan" characteristic for all those who rebel against God. lol

....,  but "we don't know". lol

I believe I mentioned the implication of "we don't know" if I understand the X post. He was referring to Sodom and Gamorra or at least that is what the background image suggests. I won't disagree, there are 10s of thousands of spiritual leaders around the world that don't know the first thing about the proper use of scripture, lol!

Satan is universally recognized for his malevolent nature. Given the opportunity, his destructive tendencies would spare nothing in their wake. Just consider the devastation he has wrought upon humanity and the earth through his sinister influence.

Satan certainly didn't clothe Adam and Eve, unless you're prepared to imagine them sporting a stylish pair of snakeskin boots! Lol!

If we consider the extreme nature of man's evil intentions, some have even used human skin as leather. Anything evil is within Satan's reach. Who knows what other accessories he has? Lol!

I would say it's a close call.

I completely agree, and I can't argue with that. It's disheartening to witness individuals attempting to impose their beliefs on readers as if they were unquestionably right. Regrettably, there has been a decade-long prevalence of dishonest individuals spreading false information here.

This one goes in the category of "was" Jesus crucified on a cross or a torture stake? Some individuals falsely claim the "T" cross and not the torture stake. 

It's frustrating when people criticize me for thinking I'm wrong while overlooking the faults of those they favor. It seems they only focus on pointing out the mistakes of those they don't like, disregarding those they do. This alone reveals the "dishonesty" of specific individuals, and that is unlikely to change.

Observing the illustration regarding finding common ground with specific words, only to have it dismissed by the same person you used to illustrate that very fallacy, and to be falsely contradicted by someone inconsequential, is another sign of deceitfulness.

Who truly becomes the "troll" when they emerge from the closed club to demonstrate the actual impact to the audience? LOL!

I'm still trying to comprehend the idea that we are all interconnected, despite the flaws and dishonesty they exhibit, lol!

I can't help but wonder if the one Tom refers to as JR is James, pudgy, and Steamboat Sally are the same. It's quite amusing to think that Srecko is Steamboat Sally, isn't it? lol!

However, as Tom insightfully mentions, there is nothing deeper than this. This could also imply that psychology has its significance when it is reversed.

Now that a list has been posted for our elimination, it seems we will be dismissed shortly. Unfortunately, some individuals cannot handle the truth and accept constructive criticism, much like they do toward the Watchtower. It's amusing how they fail to perceive it. Where's our list, lol!
