Could this be the end of JWs? What are the consequences if it is?
by Teddnzo inmultiple very serious allegations against tony and then huge efforts to remove him from all pictures and videos, have to admit it doesn’t look good.. once the pennsylvania investigation becomes public knowledge and front page news it will be very very hard for 8 million pimis.. is it possible that this could be the largest problem the branch has ever faced?
larger than 1975, the overlapping generations or any other ‘test of faith’.
many will feel heartbroken and betrayed.

Nope. Some will dismiss it all as an attack by Satan and apostates. Others may accept the truthfulness of any court verdicts (has there actually been a substantive allegation made against Morris?) but will rationalize that one bad apple isn't representative of Jehovah's organisation.
At best it will add to the dissonance felt by those JW's already doubting.

Vanderhoven7: Are we living in the last days?
YupFollowers of Christ have believed that ever since the man himself promised that some living would not see death before the end came.
Jesus was proved wrong, another false prophet.

What would it take for the exJW community to back off and let LE be?
For me, as a minimum he'd have to agree to have no further involvement with CSA issues - the gross hypocrisy is just too much. His behaviour is the tar we'll all be brushed with in the eyes of any JW who comes across him. I'm amazed WT haven't made coded references to him yet.
He'd also need to apologise for the divisions he's caused thanks to his bullying, egocentric behaviour.
How many activists have given up in the face of his aggression or not even started because he's sucked up all the oxygen in the room?
He'd also need to apologise specifically and individually to Kim and the others he smeared as "criminal defendants". Also to Kim & Mikey for doxxing them (no doubt there are others but I simply don't have all the information). I can't imagine the stress levels he's inflicted on anyone who got in his way.
And I suppose he'd need to actually ask us to forgive him.
None of this will happen of course. The manchild hasn't got an introspective bone in his body. So . . .
As you were.

I second that. There you go, at the mouth of two witnesses and all that.

Nicolaou , well as has been pointed out things like Jesus walking on water were counted as miracles because people knew that scientifically this was impossible.
If it's impossible Jan, why believe it happened? I used to be a believer too so I know the answer to my own question - faith.
Faith is the problem, it gives otherwise rational, sensible people permission to believe the absurd.
We owe it to ourselves and our children to slay this beast.

the point of this thread is - are there any examples of Bible writers knowing things that humans could not have known at the time?
Then the answer is a simple 'no'.

Help me out here ExBethelite, I'm not sure where you're coming from.
Are you saying miracles happened or not? You post a childish laughing emoji in response to a foolproof scientific argument against a specific miracle (walking on water) but then in the next sentence you agree that they are impossible.
A little clarification please.
