I would like you to point them out in a kind way so I can go and upgrade the knowledge I lack. If you are a true Christian you would help me and not just critisize me. Serious - you may go ahead and give me all the weak spots .... I can take it like a man without getting nasty, self- defensive, being overbearing or obnoxious.

Apparently your superior knowledge and subtleties are not part of my makeup. .... However, be careful ... do not boast too much!

Excuse me, if you are referring to me, please watch your rhetoric. The sentence I added to your comment (without making this clear) was a mistake - not ' pursuing' in a wrong path. While I agree with most things you say, I feel you are way to over the top in your judgement of me. Total over reaction. Any case, even if I was the most silliest person on this forum..... I still have a right to be here and not be spoken of like "unworthy" of being in a discussion where you are present. So I apologise again for this but I reserve the right to add any "opinion" I may have..

It does not make their hate-OCD better. It is false to think that JWs must pander to such deceit and unrighteousness. I do not recall Jesus pandering to mainstream thinking or placating the pharisees. I also come across strong to the American mindset. A country where boys who are unruly, not polite or noisy are given drugs in school and diagnosed with ADHD ...... yes I understand the American mindset. And it is truly warped..... that is why it is now unlawful to say anything against transgenderism. This has been coming for a very ling time. I do think I can learn to be more polite in my disdain of lies....but I do not think the people here are inclined to learn anything from others...... so yea .... I may be wasting my precious eyesight. I do pop in now and then but I do not take these subjects too seriously..... or for that matter myself seriously here..... it is a waste of time. It is mere entertainment. Maybe I should add that I intended no harm or untruth when I added that short comment. So I apologise. I just zoomed in on a word that was used. That is all.

Please explain what I did wrong. I am prepared to listen to you if you really have superior insight! I merely commented that it was a lie and not a different opinion. I call a lie a lie.

Americans do not think they are brainwashed - but they think in a certain way. I realized it was the schooling when I worked there. Similar today. The whole nation is going ahead with the post modern philosophy thing..... why? Because people are too afraid to call out the lies - they are politically correct. The world is going one way - because they do not call a lie out any longer - it is merely a difference of opinion.

American thinking...... there is nothing subjective about a lie. A lie is a lie. There was nothing subjective about satan's deceit "you will not die!" It was a blatant lie.

I was in this situation when my daughter was so sick I knew she would not last long if the doctor did not see her. I begged him to see her. She was extremely ill - she has cancer but I did not know it. If the doctor had not seen her she would not have had her operation and survived. It was my pleading that made him see her - I had to wait a few more weeks to get an appointment. This I can understand because if my daughter did not see a doctor I am sure she would be dead. You know what - this is typical of your rhetoric. You have never had problems - I guess - not real ones. So you can sit and nitpick on trashy ideas from your own making. I see NO discrepancy in any of these sentence because I have been there and I would have used and could have used the same words.... for the same situation.

In America they call everything opinion. a lie is not an opinion. I worked in USA for many years and one of the things which struck me was the indoctrination of the people (brainwashing in schools no doubt) to be "polite" to call a lie an opinion. I grew up in a country where a spade is called a spade. A lie is a lie and an opinion is an opinion. I did not go off - I just called it a lie to say that JWs change scriptures. That is your opinion about my ignorance. Any case - if you think you can get through to these people - forget it. They are a bunch of deceivers and they are here to derail anyone who believes in Jehovah. This is why I just pop in quickly now and then. I no longer deem it important to read through all the garbage - especially since my eyes are bad.. So maybe I am guilty of not paying attention to their lies.... lol..... I do not care .... why do you?

Schrecko said JWs are changing scripture. You called it an opinion - I said it is a lie. I should have said a 'blatant' lie to say we change scripture. We do not. So just chill.

it is a lie - not opinion.

Do you know when satan sowed the weeds and when they became powerful? This is important to understand to really know the meaning of the parable. It is obvious that you never had a clue of our teachings or are simply lying about what you know.... We of course want proof - as our correct pronunciation of Jehovah's name has now been proven....

How about this - I know of many teachings that have been the same almost since the inception of JWs: 1. Most religions teach that the soul is immortal and can go out of you and float in mid air up to heaven or go down to hell! We have stayed with the same teaching! 2. The name Jehovah - it has now been proven that 2500 manuscripts exist with the point system which indicates YEHOVAH is the correct pronunciation in Hebrew. And the name actually has much deeper meaning than most realize. 3. Jesus put his soul in death - yes he really died! We are the only ones who believe this as far as I am aware. 4. Neutrality - no voting and no active participation in politics. 5. The kingdom is a real government - not something invisible in your heart 6. 144000 go to heaven and the rest are the great crowd 7. Most will live on the earth forever. 8. 1914 itself is a date that has stood for a long time..... despite the scoffers that laugh at us and the mistakes about the end of the perousia..... I can mention more - so despite the scoffers that present us as shifty shift - changing teachings all the time - the ABOVE stable teachings which have NeVeR changed, proves you are the deceiver and accuser ..... not the witnesses.

yes - they call you for your opinion and people do not realize it is a political poll. Thank goodness Jehovah is not as harsh as you are. People all over act in ignorance and they want to sound as though they are fair to others. Especially if they ask if LGBTQ can have their rights..... Most people who care for others will agree that they should have their rights. They have the right to choose the lifestyle they want BUT it does not mean we approve of it.... as the questions above proves. Most witnesses do not understand these new laws..... that it will be detrimental to our future. They have already passed draconian measures in Australia. Do not judge the JWs .... Remember the scripture where it says ....... if it is mistakes you only look at Jehovah - who can stand before you? Mistakes are very different to deliberate sin - like choosing to back a political party or stance.

I remember just about everything from the revelation book and follow world politics. If you have seen any of my writings you will notice that I have written about the "image of the beast" already having power behind the scenes. UN is now setting world policies and the agreement they made with the WEF just about 2 years ago basically confirms that JWs was spot on from the first revelation book.

This is the new post modern theory and critical race theory...... lol. Yes they will eventually turn against all Christians that DO what Jesus said. Meanwhile the rest of the world is indoctrinated in this new theories and they revel in it. In Australia it has been outlawed to help any person in a Christian way who have had a sex change. Even psychologists may not help them if they realize they made a mistake by having a sex change. Wonderful world we are living in...... not allowed to help another human being in psychological suffering because it goes against mainstream indoctrination. BUT children getting religious education is child abuse. In Australia a child can be taken away from parents and given hormones without parental consent - if I remember correct - at age of ten. Would you not call that child abuse??????

Looks like you trust the beast - ready to get the mark of the beast - are you?

I still do field service with my Swedish friend. They write letters when they see an address but do not write down the address. I presume it it does not pertain to an organization one belongs to. One usually gives permission for your address to be held by an organization. If this is not lawful then your work may not keep a record of your address or for that matter your bank details to receive a cheque or your pay. This is a ludicrous and frivolous court case.

More human rules usually catches the innocent as well as the perpetrators. So yes, we do not print books in France any longer due to their other discriminatory laws. It is to be expected - life will become tough and oppressive in last days

I wonder about your logic sometimes.... I just leave it at that. Maybe you have a compulsiveness to accuse or a compulsive trolling bug or some other disease...... lol

I have worked with people with Alzheimers - n the beginning they can still function but get disoriented very quickly and unfortunately become very emotional and sometimes depressed. They repeat some older stories over and over and sometimes display anxiety. It is hard to deal with, so you will mentally have to prepare for this. Anger also comes up quickly. If she loses her faith - Jehovah knows she has been faithful all this time.... He will be just. I think it will be harder on you to watch this deterioration and on those in the congregation who will not understand what is going on. I suggest you read a book about Alzheimers or dementia because they often have very similar manifestations. Do not take her moods to seriously and talk with her calmly and kindly. Go with her through old photo albums and play her favorite old music. Short term memory is bad and long term memory is good - so she may tell you a few things you never knew - lol

Thank you for posting the two articles. I had a blast reading them... again...

When this gathering takes place of those who cause stumbling, the good wheat are taken up to shine in the kingdom of the father. We are already in this time - the conclusion of the Parousia is very near...... it just depends on how long the UN and its kings rule. UN already ruling and dictating policies in the world. For example - WHO ordered a lock down for Corona and all governments in the world complied. Only two (that I know of ) followed their own Corona protocol - Taiwan and Sweden... Most countries will soon lock down everyone in the fortress of the 'internet of things' wherein everyone will be monitored. We will all be monitored all the time so the governments can follow through on the plan of "sustainable development" on the earth. UN Agenda 2030 is the sustainable development plan. This does indeed refer to those who cause stumbling but not necessarily the GB - you are inserting your own interpretation in it. Suddenly in your mind it refers to those 'taking the lead'' ....but the scripture does not say so..... lol..... talk about jumping to your own conclusions!

Calling me that might come to bite you back in the butt!

This is also in the future - the wheat (anointed) have not all been collected yet.
