Anna

Intellectually speaking, It would seem to some. Therefore, how comments are framed and agreed upon by their emojis, consideration is drawn. Post after post to distract doesn't change the comment, nor it's intent.

I guess one can leave out the Spirit of God as the main source of understanding because man himself has now become God. 

Shouldn't it be Noisy, Anna?  😁 But, given the response from the poster, it must be all true. Isn't it "Thinking." 😄

Good point. Whatever it is.

No, it just means he's Noisy Raclette now.

Come come, Allan, it’s not a threat. I’m just being playful. You can’t see that? I’m just blown away by how you came out of nowhere to resurface in all your glory. I make even worse ‘threats’ to Pudgy for the impolitic things he says …

and he just blows it off for the trash-talk it is.

Doesn’t that just frost you when that happens?
when you can save as many people by your death as did our Lord then I’ll sanction your ‘suicide’ as well.
Quite the contrary. His final performance brought the house down. 
The point is that just after Allen ascends from the netherworld, this feed suddenly runs several pages overnight. And the time spent is time you never get back.
As it turns out, our deceased dog was named Samson. I would tell people he was not the Sampson that pushes apart the pillars but the Samson who pees on them.
There are times when that serves him well, I have noticed
No sane member of the public would ever come here.
Whoa
Yes, it’s a big headache for them, but frankly the same thing occurs with any death. If only to shovel out the house, there’s usually lots for survivors to do.
Doesn’t this fly in the face of what we recently learned about John 5:30–that an ‘unrighteous’ resurrected one’s future depends upon how they respond to God’s provisions from that time on, not a judgment of what they did in their prior life. Upon death, a person’s sin has been paid for. 
what’s left of it.
Both. They caught me easily enough.

I wonder if waiting with baited breath includes fishing worms? Sardines? Crickets?

Hmm. Do you think long-banned Allan should accept his reinstatement into the forum at this particular time of year seeing that some may regard it as accepting a Christmas present?
Could be another trap.

I really don't see the point of discussing whether suicide is a sin or not. 

Most living creatures, including humans will do anything to stay alive. That is how Jehovah made us. No human in their right mind wants to kill themselves. That's a fact. Satan recognized this and tried to use this fact against Jehovah: But Satan answered Jehovah: “Skin for skin. A man will give everything that he has for his life" Job 2:4 
So when a person goes against his instinct and ends their own life, you know this is not normal. 
Dying a sacrificial death for the greater good is not suicide though. We are told we should be willing to lay down our life for our brother. . If I take a bullet by deliberatelly jumping between the shooter and my son, and I die, I did not commit suicide. I was trying to save my son. Jesus was saving mankind, Samson was saving the Israelites. 
Suicide is an act by one's own hand, usually not for anyone's benefit, it is not usually a heroic act. Some in fact say it's a selfish act. I would be afraid to judge it quite that way because honestly, the mental state can be so harrowing that the person probably just wants peace. He sees no other way out. There must be all kinds of reasons for taking ones life and we should be ashamed to dare to judge that person. It is entirely Jehovah's business. He knows the person inside out, he knows their heart. He knows there is something horribly wrong with a person's mental state if they go against their God given instinct of self preservation....apparently for nothing.

Could one argue that the pillars killed him?

What are you talking about? The Catholic church teaches that those who commit suicide will burn in hell.
I remember watching a documentary about 9/11 where people were jumping out of windows because they didn't want to be burned alive. There was a Hispanic couple that was being interviewed, they may have been the parents of one of the jumpers. They were extremely distraught hoping that it wasn't their son who was depicted on one of the photographs because they believed if it was, then he was in hell. It was hard to watch.

Does this mean we will no longer be hearing from Moise? I was just getting to like the guy.

Our resident Lazarus is raised from the dead and everyone carries on as though it was one of those things?  This ought to make the 2022 Top Stories list.

Did Elon Musk buy this platform?

When someone commits suicide, it's because they are not of sound mind, if perhaps only for that moment. Jehovah is not going to punish them for that.
