  it most likely meant those faithfully serving as ministers/preachers teaching within individual congregations of Christianity,

  DJ: that understanding comes close to what wt taught in old light, about the "slave" being christians as a class, or when they acted as teachers. (while at the time maintaining an absolute monopoly on the pulpit)

  I thought it was an encouragement to do all kinds of good deeds, not only "spiritually", as is of course in the order to do humanitarian works in the parable of the sheep and goats, allways, not just in the "end times" btw.

  the remains of what may be one of the largest pterosaur's yet found have been discovered in outback queensland.

  the palaeontologists that have been examining the discovery describe it as having been a fearsome beast, with a spear -like mouth and a 7 metre wingspan.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-10/dragon-like-pterosaur-outback-queensland-identified-named/100361038.

  u''uw: all humans have been feeding on other life all their life, killing it in the process. justice would demand that you submit to the same fate.

  Individually, or as as a family, "death [is] the last enemy", but in the overall scheme, the universe permits many to share life for a time. timeshare.

  Isn't the claim of saying "I am he" about claiming to be the Messiah/Christ, not "the faithful and discreet slave"?

  DJ, for all practical purposes, JC was the Faithful and Discreet Slave during the 3 1/2 years of his ministry. but only one of many competing teachers.

  The wt leadership claims that same role. Their "enthroned king of 1914", has done nothing but rule through them.

  it seems that some, all things have to die, so the living, can live, something has to exit so something can exist.

  Even stars have to die, go supernovae, for richer stars, planets, even for life to prosper.

  9 Year Old Used Basic Logic And Came To An "Apostate" Conclusion

  by pistolpete in

  related experience;.

  basically what happened is my mom was studying with my 9 year old sibling and they were talking about the paradise.

  my sibling then proceeded to ask, in a clearly joking way, "what if jehovah was tricking us and we don't go to paradise?

  and how about sacrificing a human would "never come into his mind" but asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac? or the episode of the deity asking a lying spirit to deceive Ahab?

  " I am he" (since 1919) as an arrogant, self-praising answer to the legit question: "who really is the faithful and discreet slave????" math. 24:45. instead:

  "keep asking--"

  Need help...Resurrection JW beliefs from the 50'6 and 60's.

  was talking with a gal that is most likely going back to the religion after 20 or 30 years.

  we got into a discussion about having babies after "armageddon ".

  she was talking about being normal ( she is practically bedridden but only in her 50's.

  As to 'new world' reproductive rights, wt went as far as claiming that menopause would not be reversed for survivors of armageddon, in the process to regain perfect health.

  do men undergo menopause? many in bible-times did not have sons until 120 years old.
