...why have you left the god and his son?.
I guess I'll be more straightforward with my objection to the OP:
Revealed, you say that "understand" separating ourselves from the org .... BUT are confused as to why we might have left God and his son.
First, in your view, since you understand, what would it look like, practically, to leave the WT, and yet not "leave God and his son"? What would that person believe?
fair warning, i am not a jehovah's witness believer, but i am curious about what it is you believe and why you believe it.
so i am interested in talking to you instead of reading about you from my own christian perspective.
after all, who understands what jehovah's witness believes better than a jehovah's witness?
@Revealed:
I was hoping Reciprocity would join in. Looks like he/she has vanished (so far).
So, "nature" is defined, for you, as just the distinction between the physical and non- physical, the "spiritual nature" being one of immaterial, correct?
I get the distinct sense that Trinitarians aren't using the word in the same way.
Do angels have bodies?

@Revealed an @Reciprocity:
Can you define the usage of "nature" here?
@Revealed - do angels share the same "nature" as God? Do elephants and humans share the same "nature"?

By "the God", I assume you mean Odin and "his son" Thor?
so now we know the russian dossier was a fraud, the whole "russian collusion" was a hoax, and we know it was funded by the clintons and promoted by the dem's media allies.. given that this was the basis for an actual attempt to remove the elected president of the united states, this was an attempted insurrection.. clinton is guilty and should face charges.. given that they did this, does anyone still believe that they wouldn't commit some lesser, election fraud, crimes?.
if so, you still haven't learned anything.
"fool me once" and all that ....
Oh man, the C-word.
Simon, just to confirm - you aren't feeling suicidal?
the other night, my wife and i were driving through a upscale suburb with old, large, beautiful homes.
there is one house that my never jw she really likes.
as we drove by the house, i turned to her and said, "that's your armageddon house.
Yeah, that was pretty common place.
so alec baldwin shot a woman dead on set and seriously injured another man.. what do we put this down as?
a tragic accident?
maybe ... except that implies no one was to blame.. the more you find out, the more it seems that this was due to negligence and lack of attention to safety.
it doesn’t have to be about big money.

a news article has the headline of " ‘case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans"; see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/19/case-closed-999-of-scientists-agree-climate-emergency-caused-by-humans .
the article says in part the following.. 'the scientific consensus that humans are altering the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the case for global action at the cop26 summit in glasgow.. the degree of scientific certainty about the impact of greenhouse gases is now similar to the level of agreement on evolution and plate tectonics, the authors say, based on a survey of nearly 90,000 climate-related studies.
this means there is practically no doubt among experts that burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal, peat and trees, is heating the planet and causing more extreme weather.. a previous survey in 2013 showed 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering earth’s climate.. this has been updated and expanded by the study by cornell university that shows the tiny minority of sceptical voices has diminished to almost nothing as evidence mounts of the link between fossil-fuel burning and climate disruption.. the latest survey of peer-reviewed literature published from 2012 to november 2020 was conducted in two stages.
@DJW:
I browsed through those old threads you linked to - the same issues apply, and the same distinctions between the scientific and political need to be addressed.
