if god foresee/foretell future, he could definitely have foreseen the communication revolution we experience today and sent jesus in the first half of 21st century [instead of first century] where the whole world could watch him performing miracles live as we watched will tsai, a young japanes visualist who brings dead fish back to life in america's got talent 2017—especially because god’s will is that “everyone is to be saved” (1 timothy 2:4)-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9af4wvd6cz0.
if god does foresee future, it would mean that incident are foreordained in which case it is not foreseeing.
but truth is that he has not fixed events.
He does what ever the GB says he does
ttdtt: even Jesus fantasized about that: "-- whatever you bind on earth, is bound in heaven "
the GB published many bound books, volumes, nothing of that wash ever triggered the anticipated "god' response.
the GB are jw's god, (substitute the word in any publication) they reach no higher than that. Brooklyn, Warwick are near sea level,
i am translating jwfacts to spanish.
i am doing the "statistics" section.here are two graphs that show that the statistics have never been worse for the watchtower:quantity of hours required for 1 baptism: note how low it went in 1974-1975, and note that 2016 is much higher than the slump of 1978... about double, to be exact.
2016 was a historical record in this statistic (higher is worse for watchtower).. this stat is the baptisms as a percentage of the publisher average.

Even in Jesus' day, there existed near-instant recording, manual writing of tax receipts for example, but while Jesus, the most knowledgeable man who ever lived, did not sink so low as to write himself, his biographers finally got around to penning it decades later. so
g.o.d. has a safety time delay of decades build into his communication system, it is the past that is his pastime, not the future.
talking of the future, if the creator is eternal, he has been already there, eternally, watching us, from a distance, what will evolve, as we travel through time.
"set your heart on spiritual treasures.
" i have been thinking about this during the past week.
i always knew that there were no treasures on earth.
with par. 16, wt admitted that the "pearl of great value" illustrated on page 9, is in fact a empty bauble, a bubble ready to burst. because it represents
The wt kingdom of 1914, with millions then living that would never die, 1925, 1975, 2075, were all sold as shiny new gems in their time, , but now are old tarnished, discarded truth in the "treasure chest" of jws.'
These burst bubbles of hope were once payable with your life. because you would have been disfellowshipped for opposing, not treasuring them.
No wonder the guy on page 9 is so wild eyed, it is crazy, too good to be true.
"set your heart on spiritual treasures.
" i have been thinking about this during the past week.
i always knew that there were no treasures on earth.
The illustration, lead paragraphs' theme: joining wt will cost you. dearly, preferably all. as said before, the treasure is i nvisible, but it is worse, wt admits it is worthless because:
The coverup clincher is par. 16.
treasures are "scriptural adjustments" aka "new truth" "put them in your treasure chest, study them carefully, meditate..."
yeah, ( not too critically though, not as to raise embarrassing questions, like: why did we believe the previous treasure before, that is now trash? ( even expunged from wt libraries?) why did I invest all my life, time, potential wealth in that treasure, that wt has declared past invisible treasure / trash now)? why did wt make these mistakes? did not listen to "apostate" objections?
from wt treasure to wt trash, by one stroke of the wt pen. not only invisible, but with short shelf life, fakes.
very interesting video showing what would happen if everyone who ever died came back...tldr: 90% would die (again) within two months because of famine.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-s34gz3xwgtherefore: "paradise" is just impossible..
also, the inerrant inspired word of g.o.d. has it, that "the sea will be no more" [rev21;1] so, covering all the seafloor with flora, we can waterfront house many more, on the residue lakes, and feed them with vat crops, watered by the primordial mist. bible working in misterious ways.

there goes the wt promise of a waterfront property with snowy peak mountain view for everyone. even any one, of course
then, at the end of the 1000 years, the earth will have 4 corners again [rev20;8], and then, in perfection, , a cube has more surface area than the circle .
i always found it uncomfortable to informal witness to people but trying to convince a jw to jump ship brings much more pleasure..
I am very comfortable where I stand, my stasis, apo- = apart. how could I stand at the doors with these false doctrines, abusive rulers and be comfortable with my conscious? I sleep well, anytime.
august 11, 2017 to all bodies of elders re: 2018 memorial invitations and date of special talk .
fyi:.
the 2018 memorial will be held on saturday, march 31, 2018.. the 2019 memorial will be held on friday, april 19, 2019..
I know a long time missionary 50+ years that would never take a new recruit to the Memorial as a first org contact. Even Sub Marine Witnesses will be tempted to attend hat talk , even from here, (lacking leaks), to get a scoop of relief from the "good grief" what is this thing about? memorial feeling.
