11the 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?

JB: thanks for the links, to sum up:
This 'the end justifies the means' of god's dealings would , if true,
be very hard on the recipients at the lower end, and in the spirit of the article. Would a humble god not be eminently concerned with the little ones, even of the birds, that have only one life to live?

In the cited bible passage, not only does god allow the lying false prophets io start their eception, but assures them of their success, while the true prophet languishes in prison. so,
by using this twisted story as a prop for the "humility" of the bible god, wt writers imply that in some cases ( possibly their's), would be supportive of false prophets. in other words,
all of wt prophetic failures are really the creator of the universe's fault.

Cast a wide net. there just might be a guy who, interacting with you, is reminded of his mother, who might not have been a barbie. W
i think you have scared miss mary away. sld
no, I did not mean to, because my statement above is based on a true live experience:
A very handsome, intelligent brother, accountant, manager who everyone was sure would marry a trophy bride, like I did, silenced everyone in awe when he revealed his choice, a homely, fair sized warm hearted sister, (and it was not a shot -gun wedding). why? she was a younger edition of his good mother.
Awise choice: he would be never bothered by unrestrained romeos butting in. so:
miss mary take heart. and
in the title you misspelled "fining". it is
fine- ing. fine tuning your choice finally.

true, various method suggested might have been entertained, but in the end it was "jehovah" who gave the command to launch the false prophecy campaign.
This is a wt mind control tactic to plant in the Rank & File the idea, that it is ok to be a false prophet. Just like the Jonah dilemma to preach destruction, with a deadline, only to see an all fore-knowing god waffle on him. and:
Jesus humbly did not foretell the timing of the end, "for only the father knows", but
wt inc writers have no such qualms or humility.
wt writers, elders should be prepared to have their actions questioned, it has happened with justification to better persons than them!.

welcome to the site with such diverse subjects to discuss.
Cast a wide net. there just might be a guy who, interacting with you, is reminded of his mother, who might not have been a barbie.
People's expectations are warped by the faces figures they see >12 hours on their screens, dont be one of them. I knew a single sister that watched nothing but the Gary Grant movie channel.
If you live in a rich country, try moving to a "developing nation" where the need {yours) for a mate and their's (to live with opportunities) is great.
Evolution has dealt you a rough card, dont blame the males. You look pregnant to them.
forget about exercise. it is your food intake. If they fatten up cows, pigs and chickens with hormones, how do you expect to be slim on a rich diet?
1200 calories, plant based.
In the end, live within your means happily, . married or not.
dont believe wt writers who promise you a perfect mate in your life time.

I suggest once to have all paper used in the wt writing department and GB note pads to be embossed with this top line
Act 1;7
IT IS NOT GIVEN TO YOU TO UNDERSTAND TIMES AND SEASONS.

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.

JB, Lust is a must for great sex, but keep it " all in the family" for '
pete'speace's sake'.sex is a great evolutionary tool, but if interfered with in marriage, can be very disruptive, think of Helen of Troy, and the Trojan war.

Eternal punishment for "original sin" seems to be a favoured of religions, even the wt society, which disfellowships (condemns to eternity) those that persist to publish their revealing research.
for another version of religious original and final sin: knowledge. see:
Prometheus, who for advancing humankind, by revealing release of energy, is still suffering by being eaten alive.

Christianity has generally gone too far in its condemnation of sex. JB
well, Sex and nakedness were always implied to be the original sin in the story's popular interpretation.
Even in science, it's origin, re-creation, extra terrestrial, is kind of a holy grail.
harnessing, controlling it would be a natural for religion, dealing with the unexplainable.
Jesus went even further than Paul, lecturing that even a visual sin " persistently looking with intent at a woman " would end you in gehenna, the eternal fire. Paul: " it is better to marry than to burn"
original sin? not recognizing our special place, origin.
