I have been in facebook prison several times for quite ridiculous statements deemed hate speech. I dont think much reasoning is behind it. If they were seriously moderating my statements they should find far worse 🤭. Anyway I hope Trump punishes Facebook or we right wing people get another platform. I look a bit at Parler of course

Being Removed From Facebook and Twitter
by minimus ini have a very good friend who has been banned from facebook simply because he makes remarks positive about president trump and negative toward the democratic party.
he has tried to get back on facebook and it appears there is no way for him to return.
people are being removed from social media platforms simply because they have a different political view.

Well a lot of Americans outside the Hollywood elite love Trump despite the tales the media spins. People that bother to defend the Bible are not visible on this forum, that is hardly anyone elses fault

the bible god can not lie, but promotes lying prophets, today's wt study
by waton instudy 32, par 7 , cites 1 king 19-22 to prove that "jehovah" humbly asks angels their opinion.
-- not true, in effect.
the request was: who is going to go forth and lie for us, give a false prophecy?

Waton, I agree God is beyond our mental capacity. Whether the Bible is God's Word or not, it is revelation on level with humans at the time written. That is also a reason that I am Preterist and abhor the doctrines of Futurism and "Christian Restorationism" (JW is such a group)

New terminology? “Donations in Support of Kingdom Interests Worldwide”
by Ultimate Reality inpetra/atlantis recently posted and supplied a document on donations.
what stood out to me, besides the usual nonsense, was the phrase, “donations in support of kingdom interests worldwide.”.
this appears to be a change in terminology from donations in support of the “worldwide work of jehovah’s witnesses.”.

Has Anyone Gotten Disfellowshipped Here and For What??
by minimus insex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.

Waton, I dont know the study, I just reacted to your headline. Clearly this is a problem to JW theology. I dont recall ever reading about the two wills of God in either Russell or any jw publication. But logically it makes sense that as God's ways are not our ways, God's doings will not always make sense and believers outside jw tradition will not expect them to. As I have said before, jw has not made it easy for themselves in this field and it is probably why we have this odd phenomen that most x jws turn atheist; it all stands and falls with that peculiar WTS authority

Christianity should not be a book religion, especially to the point where it becomes important to whether this or that book is a part or not. Cant say I ever came across a book that I felt I missed out on, already so many. They are all avaible in case you miss them; the Maccabeans, Enoch or Esdras books etc

Yes it requires bias to exclude Jesus from having YHWH quotations applied to him

Sin came into the world - not true?
by menrov inmatt 5:27 “you have heard that it was said, ‘do not commit adultery.’ 28 but i say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.. this means that even before someone commits an act that is considered a sin or wrong but does think about it, that person actually already committed that sin or trespassing.. now read this:.
rom.
5:12 so then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned— 13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.. this means that there was already sin in the world before adam and eve actually ate the fruit.

Phizzy, true. Whether or not Paul says that in Romans 5 is at least a matter of interpretation ☺️

I dont know if jw has ever discussed this, probably not.
But basically you have the upholding hidden God on one side and the revealed God Jesus on the other side. It becomes a bit too reality oriented for the liberal critical mind, but reason would have that the Creator is not merely telling us how we should be but is also pulling the strings behind the curtain, ultimatively "for good" (Genesis 50:20)
