they stoop to conquer.

we know that the end of the world is coming, because the universe is not old enough to have these, andre, grocery, car events happen by pure lottery- type odds, chance.

Y: give the details of that allegedly changed " adultery brings disfellowshipping " ruling.
remember Jesus said, that even a persistent adulterous "eye" will have you regret that in "gehenna. " where their worm die est not"
PS: I remember from the 60s, where an innocent mate had to give consent to a guilty party in a scriptural divorce to remarry.
A vengeful, hurt victim, of a scoundrel, could ruin that one's life, by withholding that permission, if the wrongdoer wanted to "survive Armageddon", wanted wt's favour. a kh wedding.

Did you at one time Believe-that you were not going to die. Does your still in JW spouse still believe?
by pistolpete inthis magazine says it all!.
and many of the older jws believed at one point in their life that they would make it through the great tribulation and into the 1000 year reign of christ without dying.
which is why so many jws stayed in so long.. is the main reason why jws ignore all the child abuse, the end of door to door service, and the closing of kingdom hall for almost two years----because they still believe they will not die?.

no, really not at all. I hoped though and believed , that the father would intervene to prevent us all being killed in, or, because of a 3rd and last war. Of course is was done through the M.A.D. doctrine that would have killed the warmongers too. as to
b) to obtain everlasting live is not a driving force in her life, the young ones?
preoccupation with death, and wt doctrines too is a quaint tick of the irrelevant older ones.

CLASSICAL music: value ZERO ?? (The Truth That Leads to Eternal LIfe)
by Terry inclassical music: value zero??.
performances are ephemeral.
you hear a live performance - and it's gone.. a recording may preserve that 'in a certain way' but it can't preserve it against other performances of the same thing.

the music is never as good as a studio
mbc; how true, but the best music can be truly moving in the original, with top notch modern instruments. after all, stereo machines produce sound with cardboard.

Why some are religious or not?
by Vidqun intime article: several years before pope francis became pope of the catholic church in 2013, psychologists began to debunk the idea that being more educated meant a person was less likely to be religious.
instead, a new social psychology theoryone that had little to do with education levelarose.
according to dual process theory, people are either deliberative or intuitive when they make decisions.

But the way obviously intelligent people and often sceptical people who question other things, can still be believers never ceases to astonish me.
S: with due respect, Some of the most practical thinkers, have been deists, true believers not having religiosity. closet ones today.
It takes real faith to believe that the universe made itself, when even bare energy is uncreated.

There is no heavenly calling, it is a wishful thinking of JWs
by Abraham1 inthen jesus said to his disciples: “truly i say to you that it will be difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of the heavens.
again i say to you, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god.” (mathew 19:23, 24, https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/19/) for jesus both “kingdom of heaven and kingdom of god” are interchangeable—they are one and the same.
when earth comes again under god’s rulership, earth becomes a “kingdom of heaven.” (mathew 5:3, 5) “those poor in spirit” are defined as those having no self-importance or egoless (mathew 16:24) and “the meek” too are egoless.

No mention of two classes of people .
how about the gates with the name of the 12 tribes, the foundations with the 12 apostles names?
