[GOOD NEWS] My PIMI wife became PIMQ!
by psyco inafter a few years, unexpectedly, my pimi wife became pimq.. today she even asked me a question that i found very interesting:.
if god has been anointing women to be part of the kings and priests over humankind, why cannot they currently rule and guide 8 million people being part of the governing body (acquiring experience in that role as well)?.

I do not understand the universal issue anymore
by psyco into explain the universal issue we are often referring to a teacher and his/her students.. let us imagine that a teacher (god) has an hour (everlasting) class to show his students (humans and angels) how to fix a broken clock (to reign).. one student (adam) says he is able to fix it better independently, without the teacher's help (universal issue).. the teacher let him demonstrate that in front of all the others, but instead of an hour lesson he gives him only 5 minutes (death after a limited period of time) and he blocks one of the student's hands behind his back (imperfection).. if i were one of the other students watching i could think: but those were not the initial conditions the student was in when he said he could, and what would have happened leaving him more time and both hands free?.
am i crazy?.

Obedience and loyalty test: Jesus vs Adam
by psyco inif i remember well, jesus gained immortality as a prize only after his obedience and loyalty (apparently for the first time) on earth.
this means his obedience and loyalty were tested because of certain circumstances (otherwise they would have not) and a lot of time after being created.. first question:.
1) why did god create his first perfect spiritual creature (jesus) without needing to be immediately tested regarding his obedience and loyalty, but he created the first perfect human creature (adam) with that need?

Shaking hundreds of hands every week: are JWs the only ones?
by psyco inwe know that with our hands we touch what everybody else does: money, handles, buttons, etc.. we also know for sure, since the xix century, that our hands carry bacteria and germs causing serious illnesses because of that.. despite more than 25,000 jws dying because of the covid, showing they are not immune, they were proudly declaring how good they were in handling this pandemic.. now, jws have started to shake hundreds of hands per week at their meetings, like before, even if covid is not over yet demonstrating hygiene knowledge back to medieval times.. i am wondering: are they the only religion/community/group still doing this or others are doing the same?.

How to debunk the 1914 calculus ONLY using JW publications?
by psyco ini remember having read somewhere, but i cannot find it anymore, that it is possible to debunk the 1914 calculus using only jw publications, like "insight on the scriptures" (chronologies) for example.. do you have any sources about that to suggest to me?.
