    The Yellow Fogball Rules Of Debate:
    1. Participants must recite their arguments in iambic pentameter to enhance the elegance of discourse.
    2. Every point made must be accompanied by interpretive dance to emphasize its gravity.
    3. Rebuttal arguments must be delivered while wearing an oversized prop hat for added credibility.
    4. Participants must incorporate at least one random word from the Klingon language to showcase linguistic prowess.
    5. Points can be countered with the power of interpretive mime, as long as it's conducted in complete silence.
    6. If a debater quotes Shakespeare, opponents must reply in rhyming couplets for the remainder of the debate.
    7. The use of airhorn sound effects is permitted only during particularly compelling arguments.
    8. A gong will be struck to signal the end of a participant's turn, creating an air of ritualistic finality.
    9. A designated "metaphor meter" will gauge the complexity of metaphors used, awarding extra points for obscurity.
    10. During the final statements, participants must whisper their conclusions to convey an air of introspective wisdom.
    And most important,
    11. It’s not permitted to put rocks in the fogballs.

    Rather than the vague, meaningless “word salad”  that is worthy of a Kamala Harris, ET, and sounds very profound and scholarly…. but isn’t …. how about commenting specifically on the illustrations that illustrate the complete absurdity that what the Apostles understood from Jesus was OVERLAPPING generations?
    Hmmmmmm?

    I agree, but here’s the rub, Bub ….. if in some way we screw up our own lives, we of course will have to pay the price, but if the Governing Body sets a doctrine under pain of disfellowshipping  that screws up our life, we by following bad advice, of course STILL screw up our lives, and pay the price …. but they pay no price whatsoever, because everybody’s forbidden to talk about it..
    THEY never miss a meal, dress like a homeless person, sleep in bitter cold, and live in quiet desperation of deep poverty and with rotten teeth and no money to fix them.
    They are waited on hand and foot, with Rolex watches, heavy gold pinky rings, fine high quality clothing, beautiful and comfortable surroundings, adoring throngs of friends, almost infinite free labor, all possible because they bathe in an unending waterfall of free money.

    Please note that the Closed JW Club is half the size of the Open one. Let's ask ourselves why this is so? And how many members from the Closed Club are ready to violate the GB 1st Amendment, which is; don't talk to ex-JWs and don't engage in dialogue with them and don't watch the contents they gave?
    This thread has 4.1k views. Apart from the few of us who are in the polemic, Who are the other people who viewed the content?
    Your last question is super funny.

    JW member's way of thinking:
    All religions of the world, except the JW religion, are ungodly and under Satan rule. All world governments are evil under the influence of Satan. So, every evil and injustice (CSA also) that happens to them there is because their minds are in the dark under satanic influence.
    If something like this is happening in the only JW true religion then it is because the JW members are imperfect people. In the JW true religion, the evil that sometimes happens, happens because some JW member has become spiritually weak, and that's it. Satan has no influence over JW Christians because they are in a spiritual paradise that is protected. We are protected spiritually but not physically. Physical protection of JW members is the responsibility of the police and secular authorities (Richard Ashe deposition).

    Even Kermit the Frog realizes that not all things are racist in his song which was a mega hit by the way,  “It’s not easy being Green”.
    Many women know that to get a handsome Prince, they have to kiss a LOT of frogs.
    I assure you most eminently that I have absolutely nothing against green colored amphibians.….. Neither light green ones, or the dark green ones.
    I don’t even care that Kermit who is a frog is dating Miss Piggy, who is a pig.
    After all …… they are both Muppets!

    American made film cameras used to go “click”, and Greek and Japanese film cameras used to go “crick”.
    The Japanese cameras had  "JCII" stickers on the bottom,  which stands for "Japan Camera Inspection and Testing Institute." It was a small oval sticker that some Japanese camera manufacturers used to put on their cameras to indicate that the product had passed the quality standards set by the JCII. The JCII ensured that the cameras met certain criteria and were approved for sale in Japan.
    The new digital smartphone cameras, all made in China, go “Good job … nice composition”, and send your metadata to Peking.

    You folks are just too ignorant to understand the joke …. or even have a conversation with.
    All humor has to have a basis in truth, that’s why you didn’t “get” the nested inference.
    “The “universal” plea for help, SOS”, which was instituted in 1905, was changed because the Japanese during WWII were luring American soldiers into ambushes with fake radio “SOS” pleas for help, and it was changed in various theaters of war to “Mullins” because the Japanese had trouble pronouncing the letter “L”, and it was obvious when they made a fake call for help to lure Americans into an ambush, they would use the word “Mullins”, which they would typically mispronounce as “MURRINS”, which was usually discerned to be a fake distress call and a lure to ambush.
    In other war theaters and battlefields other distress calls such as “Pan Pan Pan”, and “Mayday Mayday Mayday”, or “TTT” was used.

    Well, during the 1970’s millions of highly intelligent people in their hearts believed Kermit the Frog was a real frog, albeit with a hand stuck up his butt.
     The word "amphibian" is a Greek word. It comes from the Greek roots "amphi" (meaning "both" or "on both sides") and "bios" (meaning "life"). When parsed, "amphi" refers to living on both hand and water, while "bios" pertains to life. So, "amphibian" literally means "both lives, meaning frogs can live on both water, and on hand.
    Like the Japanese, who have trouble pronouncing the letter “L”, over time the expression arose … “ The frog and the hand are ONE.”.

    Excellent!  Jehovah's Witness are not alone in how John 1:1 should be rendered. Here are some examples along with the Coptic which is the first transliteration of John 1:1.
    Strong's Concordance theos: God, a god Original Word: θεός, οῦ, ὁ Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine; Noun, Masculine Transliteration: theos Phonetic Spelling: (theh'-os) Short Definition: God, a god Definition: (a) God, (b) a god, generally.
    Many Scholars know this, but withhold the fact that theos can be rendered (a god) as it was with Paul and Moses. Other variations of rendering John 1:1 also exist:
    1808: "and the Word was a god" – Thomas Belsham The New Testament 1822: "and the Word was a god" – The New Testament in Greek and English 1829: "and the Word was a god" – The Gospel History According to the Four Evangelists 1863: "and the Word was a god" – A Literal Translation (Herman Heinfetter) 1879: "and the Word was a god" – Das Evangelium nach Johannes (J. Becker, 1979) 1885: "and the Word was a god" – Concise Commentary on The Holy Bible (R. Young, 1885) 1911: "and the Word was a god" – The Coptic Version of the N.T. (G. W. Horner, 1911) John 1:1c is rendered in the feminine sense relating to Christ divinity. Words like Deity, Divine, Wisdom, Beginning are all feminine nouns that describe Christ's Divinity as a Divine Creation.
    An Eastern/Greek Orthodox Bible commentary notes: "This second theos could also be translated 'divine' as the construction indicates "a qualitative sense for theos". The Word is not God in the sense that he is the same person as the theos mentioned in 1:1a; he is not God the Father."
     

    This earliest Coptic (from an Arabic/Greek word for “Egyptian”) translation was in the Sahidic dialect, approximately 1,700 years ago. The scribes who were translating the Gospel of John from Koine Greek into their own Egyptian language encountered an issue that still faces translators today. It is the question of correctly translating John 1:1.
    The Coptic translators rendered John 1:1 in this way (Transliterated):
    1. a. Hn te.houeite ne.f.shoop ngi p.shaje
    1. b. Auw p.shaje ne.f.shoop n.nahrm p.noute
    1. c. Auw ne.u.noute pe p.shaje 1
    Literally, the Coptic says:
    1. a. In the beginning existed the word
    1. b. And the word existed in the presence of the god
    1. c. And a god was the word
    We can see at the outset that the Coptic translators used the Coptic definite article (p) in referring to the One the Word was with or “in the presence of” (nnahrm): p.noute, “the” god, i.e., God. And we can see that in referring to the Word, the Coptic translators employed the Coptic indefinite article (ou; just “u” following the vowel “e”): ne.u.noute, “a god.”
    Coptic translation. “In the beginning existed the Word, and the Word existed in the presence of the God, and a god was the Word.”
    Can a date for it's beginning be more clearly ascertained for the Sahidic Coptic translation?
    Christianity may have come early to Egypt. The Bible Book Acts of the Apostles lists Egyptian Jews and proselytes as being present at Pentecost, when 3,000 became Christian believers. (Acts 2:5-11) 
    The eloquent Christian speaker Apollos was an Alexandrian and his travels may have taken him back to Egypt. (Acts 18:24-28; Titus 3:13) 
    Coptic translator George Horner notes: “Clement of Alexandria, born about 150 [CE], speaks of the Christians spreading all over the land….The internal character of the Sahidic [version] supplies confirmation of a date earlier than the third century.” Horner favors a date closer to 188 CE as the inception of the Sahidic Coptic version.

    You are seriously naive, you must be a born in jw and never had any social contact or experiences with other religions. There is no weekly program aimed at children at kingdom halls, every service is written for adults only. Sure they have a few video's of Sophia and Caleb but those are far and few in-between. JW children do not recieve religious education on their level, they just don't. They have to sit through talks about how anal sex or oral sex is frowned upon, which no 5 year old should have to listen to from some elder....On the opposite side, other churches had special discussion groups with men as leaders and kids having real discussion on life issue's being a teen ager.  And those groups don't refuse any child, they welcome any child whether they believe or not. I currently have a young man who is from a troubled home, didn't know his bible, and now finds the scripture of the day before anyone else.
    Lastly the majority of child rape by JW elders and MS and family the children were groomed for rape via jw weekly education. Erriokos you just might be one of those child molesters. Or your involved with child trafficking using the jw's cover.

    "Established truths" which are the product of an "imperfect and fallible" GB to whom Jesus did "not promise to give perfect spiritual food". Please, what kind of "established truths"?
    Is this the "truth" for which WTJWorg instructs elders to destroy all data and notes and not hand them over to government authorities? Or a bunch of other theological instructions?
    WT Australia joined the redress scheme only after the authorities wanted to take away their state support, money. Money is an "established truth" at WTJWorg.
    Shame on WTJWorg.

    Oh sure, I’ve caught ChatGBT IN MANY errors, but when I correct it, it apologizes, and does another search, then about 95% of the time, gets it right, or very close.
    Credibility is based on a track record of being right. And how many times. And about what.
    And like you, it does have a left wing “woke” agenda that skews its answers according to how it’s been programmed.

    There is more information elsewhere, ironically a grounded community of which JWs and EXJWs who do not want to deal with apostates of the faith, who spoke of this concerning this religious leader. From what I was able to gather thanks to someone there, although he is no longer of the body of religious leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses, he is most likely still among them. It should be noted that the person who uploaded the video was among the fold that took part in an attack against an Ex-bible student, child abuse survivor, so the person the uploader is affiliated with, need not worry much.
    It was also mentioned by many, even Aubrey who now goes by the name @Dandelion Friend here that his videos were removed, this is false because as of recent, the sermons regarding this person can still be found even archived.
    That being said, I always assumed the unaware folks are gullible outside of a faith, but it seems that anyone who takes the word of someone like the uploader, are just as gullible, when they, even the person in question, the apostate, has little to not information, and thrives off of speculation.
     
    Exodus 23:1 - Do not spread false reports.

    A verse that fly past the heads of many apparently. People make false reports and or speculative notions do so to gain support, recognition and listeners, not realizing they will cause more harm than good, be it the MSM or someone else.
     
    Next thing you know, probably some random disgruntled person will say that this religious leader roams NYC at night, fighting crime with the teenage mutant ninja turtles, and get this, people will believe it, at the same level as those who believe CNN to be trusted news.

    Those soldiers most likely did not know any better, and what transpired after that, when Jesus was no more (Matthew 27:50-54). One of them wised up and said afterwards, Certainly this was God’s Son.
    As for today, present day, people can fake forgiveness and or repentance, to not be observant of that, and to even attest to how the Mainstream sees such things, will enable more problems vs those who are not as vigilant outside of the Mainstream, many of these examples exist, even professed here.
    That being said, I was dealing with some immoral folks (I am sure you heard the news, what I told Butler and @ApostaBabe Linda James came to fruition), debating them, so I got lost as to where this thread went to, from News to ARC, and suddenly repentance and 1975 again, which, ironically, can easily be shut down with a single question and recent actions of some about Russia.

    Enlightened? You waited for Armageddon in 1914, 1925, 1940, 1975, until the end of the 20th century, until the end of the 1914 generation, until the end of the overlapping generation. You said that the vaccine is prohibited, then it is allowed, that organ transplantation is prohibited then allowed, blood transfusion is allowed, then it is prohibited, that blood fractions are allowed, then they are not, then some are and others are not.
    What are you enlightened about?
    Core teachings?
    You have clergy and hierarchy like the Catholic Church. And you seek the same privileges as the religions of "Babylon the Great", so called. And you ask for that privileges from the political powers that you say are under the power of Satan. Enlightenment? Or maybe Hypocrisy? Opportunism?
