    Patiently waiting for Truth got a reaction from Arauna in Did you know that Mars is the only planet in our Solar System inhabited ENTIRELY by Robots?   
    I'd be more concerned about the robots that China is now using. The unmanned ones that are carrying machine guns.
    Robot warfare is here.

    Special no. Different yes.  Hitler hated JWs because JWs were not afraid to die for what they believed in.
    The GB hate ex-JWs because ex-JWs prove their strength and faith in God through Jesus Christ. 
    Hitler wanted to be served by everybody as a group, so that he had control over all.
    The GB want to be served by everybody as a group too, so that the GB have control over all. 
    The GB prove their fear of individuals because they have to call all ex-JWs apostates or liars. 
    The GB and most JWs cannot accept that each person that leaves the Org is an individual. 
    ALL translations are questionable as none seem to be directly inspired of God's Holy Spirit, But the BSB is easy to read and understand. That does not mean that I believe every word of that translation. 
    Are you sugggesting that everyone needs to understand the Greek language to be able to believe God's word ?
    My faith tells me that although no translation is perfect, most Bibles give enough good information to help people come to a knowledge of God and Christ. 
    Please note the smily face after that comment of mine. It was meant as a joke. 
    I place no faith in men. I certainly place no faith in the GB of the Watchtower / JW org. 
    As a side note. The only reason i answer your questions is for my own 'training' and it helps me to strengthen my faith in God through Christ. Whilst I'm on this blog I'm not thinking about material possesions or worldly worries.

    …… sigh ……. (Puts paws over eyes and shakes head in resigned dispair).
    The robots were sent by humans from Earth, on rockets, to explore and take photos and soil and other samples, and radio that information back to NASA and the ESA, etc.
    Currently Mars is inhabited by NINE Robots, depending on whether or not you count the subsidiary helicopter drones, etc.……. and so far …. No humans.
    ….. sheeeesh!
    This is a LOT OF WORK!

    You are surely joking!  We have photos of Mars and I did not see any photos of robots - unless they comprise of nano-technology... lol
    So - you are saying that Jehovah created robots on Mars? Or are you saying Satan created them?  And if he did ... what was the purpose of doing this?....... since the bible shows that satan wants to destroy mankind.... and we are here on earth!  we are not living on Mars....  lol

    Perhaps you should adjust your medication, or tell the nurses.
    You have NOT answered the question
    If you cannot do that, you condemn yourself with your own words.

    Patiently waiting for Truth reacted to Pudgy in Are JWs in America back on the 'door to door' work now ?   
    Unfortunately, I can easily believe that to be entirely true.
    This is what happens when the only people that volunteer to be appointed as Elders are Beavis and Butthead.
    ...it also happens to cops, judges, taxi drivers, and doctors.
    What do yo call a Doctor that takes 10 years to pass his college exams, has no common sense or talent, and on the sixth try gets his license?
    ......
    ... Doctor.

    Yes, at times your post do seem confusing. I will clarify. You suggest an organization willing to follow in the same structured path as the first century church is wrong. Can you explain why that church is wrong for following in Jesus footsteps with Christ own commands?

    My work tablet has too much auto correct. 
     
    There was a case in California a few years back. A family had left the jw's, elders kept showing up wanting to speak to their 14 year old daughter alone The parents kept refusing, then one time the elders waited for both the parents to leave and they tried talking to the girl, but didn't realize the door bell cam they had installed. Eventually they were able to replace a restraining order against the elders and the watchtower.

    I do not know what a "rouge jw" is.
    How do you define a "rouge jw" ?
    Kinda a reddish orange. like someone with a cosmetic bottled suntan?
    If that would NOT be surprising to you, you seem to speak with some degree of authority and experience in the matter.
    Do you have much experience going to back doors,  stalking 14 year old girls?
    Did you know Jeffery Epstein?

    "... A caller reported three suspicious men, including one man in a wheelchair, going door to door in Cathlamet. He later said they were Jehovah’s Witnesses. 8:22 p.m."
    It wasn't they guy in the wheelchair ... it was his two friends who were in "lurk" mode, you know, both hands out in front of them like dog paws, and walking on their tiptoes ....
    What you REALLY have to worry about is them Mormons!

    Allen, what's with all the questions?  Do you have me on a witness stand in a courtroom?  We both know the answer to this also.

    Sad to say, this applies to you. A person without a will corrupts himself. Since you're not a good host, I will not use scripture with you. Please allow me the same respect from you. You have lost all reason to use scripture. Also, if you're going to use the Berean Bible Society Bible, understand their background. You will find, they have the same Christian foundation of writing as the former organization you disparage. You can start with their magazine "Berean Searchlight-2022".
    Not only that, but you should pay closer attention to your spiritual leader here @Witness

    If you really believe all this that you have written then I pity you for lack of your faith.
    Quote "Christ’s followers were confused a lot of the times… " 
    John 16 : 12 & 13  Berean Literal Bible Jesus said 
    "Yet I have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now." 
    "But when He the, Spirit of truth, shall come, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He may hear, He will speak. And He will declare to you the things coming."
    So Jesus obviously didn't want to give them all the details at that time. 
    However after His resurrection Jesus did explain more.
    Luke 24 : 44 - 49. NWT
    He then said to them: “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all the things written about me in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45  Then he opened up their minds fully to grasp the meaning of the Scriptures, 46  and he said to them, “This is what is written: that the Christ would suffer and rise from among the dead on the third day, 47  and on the basis of his name, repentance for forgiveness of sinse would be preached in all the nations—starting out from Jerusalem. 48  You are to be witnesses of these things. 49  And look! I am sending upon you what my Father promised. You, though, stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
    Quote "and what of Peter renouncing Jesus three times..out of fear" 
    Do you think so ? Had Jesus not already told Peter what would happen. Do you not think it was planned to happen that way. Don't you think the crowd would have grabbed Peter and possibly killed him if Peter had confessed to being with Jesus ?  Jesus knew the outcome and the possible danger for peter. 
    Quote "all of them were confused and frightened on the night of Jesus and his betrayal….they scattered frightened and left him alone"
    Once again preplanned. Matthew 26 : 31 & 32 NWT
    Then Jesus said to them: “All of you will be stumbled in connection with me on this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered about.’ 32  But after I have been raised up, I will go ahead of you into Galʹi·lee.”
    Have you no faith. What would have happened to those disciples if they had stayed there? This was a lynch mob that came to arrest Jesus. Jesus has forwarned them and told them they would scatter. 
    Unfortunately you are just trying to make excuses for the GB. But you are insulting Jesus and His discipels.

    NO. I just use the Berean Study Bible. It is an easy Bible for me to read.... 
    BUT You seem to need to connect me to something or to someone. 
    You are a very sad person unfortunately. You have allowed yourself to be be currupted by other JWs.
    As you say 'Bad association spoils good character', and the JW org IS bad association. 
    But you copy TTH in this way, always trying to connect people, group people together, and aways for a reason to discreddit them. 
    You grouped me with @Srecko Sostar and with @Witness and for what purpose ? Not to give us any credit but for the purpose of your own arguemnet.  
    So i didn't bother to read that long dribble you probably coppied and pasted. Why ? Because it means nothing to me.
    WE ALL NEED TO USE A BIBLE. I use the BSB and the NWT.  Neither of them are completely accurate. 
    I do not think either of those Bibles are inspired or even guided by God of Christ. But they are both quite easy to use.

    Patiently waiting for Truth reacted to Pudgy in Since Moses was called elohim, does that make him God?   
    Over the centuries, words and expressions have changed dramatically.
    Consider that just a few years ago "Gay" used to mean frivolously happy ....
    ...... And of course, my favorite "Let's Go Brandon!"
    It used to be that anyone who had great authority was referred to as a god .... and even today England has a "House of Lords", and Winston Churchill was titled "Lord of the Admiralty".
    Lord Vader anyone?
    It's a relative term ... NOTHING MORE.
    The clueless and the agenda driven will never really understand this  ..... because they do no WANT to..

    I didn't, it was the translation that did.  
    He was God's spokesman; yes as God's representative to the people; and given divine authority.  
    "For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit"  2 Pet 1:21

    Christ's disciples grew up under the old law covenant.  In one day, Jesus overturned their belief system.  They were gradually learning from the words of Jesus. 
    His words/teachings have been around for over 2,000 years.  So what excuse do Wt's leaders of spiritual "Israel" have, for being so confused, evident in 150 years of ever changing doctrine?  Did it take 150 years for the apostles to figure it out?
     “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."  John 14:26
    “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me."  John 15:26
     “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."  Matt 7:7,8
    Confusion is not how Christ teaches truth.  Follow just one string of doctrine in the organization and it is evident that the doctrine's creator is confusion; which means, its leadership does not have the "Spirit of truth".
     "For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints."  1 Cor 14:33

    Agreed!…
    Christ’s  followers were confused a lot of the times…first when they went out on their first preaching missionary they taught and thought that Gods Kingdom had already come and Jesus was there to rule now….( wow that was misleading …and the thing was Jesus knew that but let them go on with it anyway)…..seems they got confused many times over Jesus and his actions…how on earth could he ever talk to the Samaritan woman..that was a big one…confusion over circumcising..confused over drinking Jesus blood and eating his flesh…and what of Peter renouncing Jesus three times..out of fear…all of them were confused and frightened on the night of Jesus and his betrayal….they scattered frightened and left him alone ..they never had a clue as to what was going on..yet he told them…they should have…
    And they fought amongst themselves and yelled at each other…brothers and sister of the anointed at that(…even after Jesus death and their anointing…)
    Yet they had the scriptures…they should have known …should have discerned what would happen to the coming Messiah….they lived with him..knew him In The flesh….he TOLD THEM….yet they abandoned  him in his hour of need…confused …they didn’t understand  anything!!!
    Yet who of us does not want to be like them…..Dmitar….why do you think Gods people will be any different in the time of the end …or at any time in the past….
    Those men were constantly learning…failing ..enduring…growing in years and age as well as understandings…and probably the wisest they ever were was just before they died.
    But HE chose the foolish of the world, remembering they are but from dust and he keeps putting up with the weak earthly vessels…that are all cracked and flawed….so why do you expect such a high standard when HE knows it’s not possible .
    1Cor 1:27
    but God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise
    God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

    Exactly right, but the Wt. leaders are experts at creating confusing doctrines.  So, Christ's followers would reject such doctrine and rely on the words already established in Jesus Christ.
