The new covenant is for forgiveness of sin everlasting life, not immortality. it was concluded by partaking of the emblems (with people of an earthly hope), not the outpouring of the spirit.
wr confuses the new nd th kingdom covenant.
All of israel was in the "old" covenant, only Levi and Judah in their special status, kingdom covenant.

Would you leave the Watchtower if you woke up at age 80 plus, or just stay in for the rest of your life.
by pistolpete inso yesterday while i was doing some work for a customer, i noticed the wt mags on the sofa.
and i asked the elderly man if he was a jehovah witness?.
he said that he and his wife and all his children were raised in the religion, but only he and his wife attend the meetings or zoom.

To wake him now would just be an unkindness, and send him to an early grave.
j 123: there is a great movie "" good bye lenin" about an east berlin family, that is trying to shield their mother from the truth of the fall of the wall, a fact that is suppose to put her in mortal danger because of her medical condition.
ha ha, turns out she hated the communist government all along. you just never know.

More importantly, how does potus Biden feel about the border business?
Just read that Biden's buddy, O'Brian, jesuit university president, resigned. so: they are catholics. Nearly all illegals from the south are catholics, of course he is for open borders, would not jw / wt /org have open borders if they were in the majority?
another angle on America's divide.

Since the nearest star is 4.24 light years away its all much ado about nothing.
mbc, yeah, it would make for drawn out zoom meetings. but think how far we have come since the bard. The other "nothing" we like to know about is the one before the Big Beginning of our world.
basically asking the question: "how did you do all that dad?

There are seven planets which orbit this star, all of their orbits are much closer than Mercury's but because the star is cool and a dwarf, several of these exoplanets inhabit the 'Goldilocks Zone', and so may harbour life.
Luhe: small stars actually last much longer than medium size ones, like 'our' sun, or large ones. the truth,' the less you eat the longer you live' is true for the heavens too. so:
If you were to design a paradise planet with the longest lasting life, you would pick a cool. small star as the central furnace. unluckily, our sun is already half finished. so: by by, eternal paradise (barring a miraculous mid flight hydrogen refueling of the sun).
The solar system has a resonance, wavelength of 300 light seconds, doubling of orbit sizes,
"rogue planets" without a solar system."
Q: that would be a cool place, once the heat of contraction, and from radioactive internal sources is exhausted. long live our distant ( 150 0000 000 km) radiation heat source, sol, compliment of 'the father"

What is the most insensitive thing an Overseer or Elder has ever said and done to you?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwhat is the most insensitive thing an overseer or elder has ever said and done to you?
i have had many insensitive things said to me by some elders, but for some reason one self-righteous elder was always on my case.
he didn't like the fact that i missed meetings, didn't like that i never went out in field service, that i didn't answer at the weekly meetings and he didn't like that i carried my books and magazines in my hands and not a service/book bag.

I am into my 90ies and experiencing that. It would by hypocrisy to preach the wt doctrines and of course financing them.
At least when we were in, we had reason to believe some of it, like impending nuclear exchanges to poison the planet, after billions of dead. Now i feel sorry for those out in the field, the phony phones, peddling what amounts to a badly warmed up 1914 overlapping spiritual meal.
Older people are happy, they are beyond the struggles of so-called "truth". life will take it's course. enjoy. That does nor mean I will not work to straighten out my family: example, yesterday's text. The [other] sheep:
They know now the alternate explanations, non-israelite Christians. the great crowd of
other sheep.in the heavenly templeYou have to know the alternative explanation to defend "the truth" against contradictions, right?

The unrighteousness of the Jehovah's Witnesses
by Rocketman123 ina point to consider is that the bible states that if a prophet says things that god as not given them to say, they are to shun that individual or persons.. deuteronomy 18:22 ...... if a prophet speaks in the name of the lord, and the thing does not come about and does not come true, the lord has not spoken that word.
the prophet has spoken it presumptuously.
do not be afraid of him.. another scripture to note or consider would be 1 john 4:1 ......... dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from god, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.. so to observe if someone is saying things wrongly or what they have not been instructed to say in the preaching work, one has to play close attention to the instructions handed out by jesus christ himself.. one of the admonishments handed out to his followers is that they should not set a time upon god's own sacred time and that not even he knows of the time.. yet the wts and its top leading men have set numerous times on their own accord, taught and preached them, which were acts of disobedient apostasy.
