Are JWs in America back on the 'door to door' work now ?

Does it make sense? All creation is under the same laws, since God made those commandments and laws. Satan was punished for his disobedience and free will. The legion of demons had their offspring punished by disobeying God. Those Nephilim had angelic spirit in them. That's why they were so strong. Humanity was punished for their disobedience and wickedness. A sentence that came directly from God.

What part of that misrepresentation of scripture makes sense to you? What part of Matthew 6:10 doesn't register?

Well, of course, Thinking's thesis about a special law for angels, and a special one for people, is not probable. Because both types of creatures have free will,  and they interact with each other according to Bible text. 

It is this/those characteristic that connects them more than anything else (life form, place of life and abilities) separates them.

This is exactly the point. Thanks. The Watchtower has ALWAYS turned the generation into a zone of dates. When the Watchtower's previous zone of dates was no longer tenable, there was an excellent oppo

Yes. If you don’t forgive and put it behind you, you never heal. You are forever rehashing your injury. In close to 50 years with Jehovah’s earthly organization, the supportive benefits have far excee

All moral creatures have free will to choose in every situation what they want to do.  They can choose to do it in Jehovah's way your their own way.  Free will is powerful because it is a quality that we received from Jehovah - but our free will has limitations.  A father watches over his child to check if he is going to hurt himself.  Daddy allows the child free will to play with many things.  Only when he may hurt himself or someone else the dad will intervene.

Satan deliberately chose to go in opposition to his father. That is like a son who joins a gang just because his father warned him against it.  He then goes on to kill and then destroy his own life.

Jehovah would not destroy any who are righteous.  They knew that Noah was building the ark - even Noahs father, wife and brothers did not listen...... They were NOT punished because the angels were wicked. Noah through his obedience condemned them.

Glad to see you possess common sense.

Will, no! Angels took human form when they needed to speak directly to someone, like Abraham, Lot, etc. Genesis 18:2

Also, man cannot transform to an angel.

Who do you believe was first to break that free will to disobedience, or do you believe there were others in the Garden?

Are you going to squabble over a word that makes sense to others? Does the word "Destroyed" work better for you? How about, eliminated? Did I include Noah in the commentary, or did you need to see his name in my post?

It was just a moment of weakness. :)))

Yes, but a burning bush, a donkey, a voice from heaven do not support the claim/view as sort of rule.

JWs who say that they  are part of 144000 believe they will be sort of spiritual creatures similar to angels but much higher in position. Sort of transformation from human to angels?

Then, you should have more weak moments. 😁

Why are you challenging God in what he can or can't do?

How is the anointed receiving their heavenly reward, mean they can transfer to an angel then back to man? Do you understand the word transform?

If you believe those that are called to heaven to support Christ as kings will come back after their task is done, then you don't understand that process. Short answer, no they won't

No , but you referred to Nephilim  and the destruction of all. and you said a few things which are incorrect.

Perhaps by your lack of knowledge. As far as scripture states, the Nephilim and the rest of humanity was destroyed except 8 people and 2 of every animal. How is your @JW Insider style of argument, make it incorrect?

If you don't understand my post, it's simple, stay out of my conversation and stop being obtuse like @JW Insider  provoking a meaningless argument. 

If you people here use half the space of desperately trying to find fault with me, and direct yourselves in proving your worth a Christians, visitors might believe you are Christian. Loyalty is something else. Bible knowledge is something you people lack. That is sad since you come from an institution that prides itself with scriptural understanding.

    • By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.
    • The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.
    • FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.

Algorand will be the official blockchain platform for FIFA, sponsoring events like the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
