1) jesus set the absolute standard on how to deal with the disagreeable or even with those becoming inimical in matthew/5/43-48.
there he said: ‘don’t behave like pagans who love/greet only those loving/greeting them.
but be like our heavenly father who loves everyone without differentiating whether one is friendly or inimical towards him.’ this is his eternal standard.
Churches made the mistake of trying to reconciling the contradictory verses—it is like trying to reconcile two concepts such as Download or Upload—it is either Download or Upload
There is a third option. Perhaps, just perhaps, none of it is inspired.
there is a trial currently starting - even funnier than the baldwin nonsense.. yes, everyone's favorite actor, singer and hate crime victim is going on trial.. i am, of course, talking about jussie smollett.
he's going on trial for lying to chicago police and wasting their time.. he's obviously as guilty as hell, but i just can't wait for this to unfold.. it's gonna be hilarious ....

what you think was the most important thing for satan to stop.
the preaching work or humans becoming kings and priest in heaven?.
@truth_b_known: Right. Why go along with it? The Word has been written, just do the exact opposite. Easy. By losing, you win.

If I were Satan, I would just sit back. There, I've invalidated God's Word.

@asp59:
Wouldn't you rather just not play the game? Look, it's all laid out from in front of you from God's own mouth. The only way you have to smite him, is... don't do what He says you'll do.
it seems if you have an attic, you'll be safest there..
Bomb shelter. I'd go with that. Clearly superior. Secret entrance.

Why would Satan try anything? Isn't he doomed no matter what he "tries to prevent"?
What would you do if you were put in the Satan's situation - as the WT describes it? You know that *He* knows, and He has said you are 100% screwed no matter what you do. None of your plans will work, none of your efforts will ultimately pay out.
An energy vortex forms in a far away galaxy, immediately swallowing 10 planets. It then spreads outward at the speed of light, consuming all. Only watching an episode of Sophia and Caleb by the same JW will halt its expansion.
ny times report on the drone strike in afghanistan - they killed an aid worker and his family including 7 children.. it was done as a political stunt so biden could claim they struck back at a terrorist (although it was a suicide bomb attack).. the attack was due to his incompetence and the drone strike done to distract from it.. his inappropriate touching of young girls now seems tame compared to his murder of young children.. he should be prosecuted.
he should be jailed.
he won't be, because us politics.. if you voted for him you're a shit that supports an inappropriate toucher and killer of children..
...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?
