jehovah's witnesses used to state other christian denominations go to war and in fact that their religious leaders bless such wars.
they see this as one reason why all other christian denominations are not true christians since they kill one another at war and therefore they don't love one another as stated by jesus in john 13: 34,35.. for example when a roman catholic go to war, he/she is bound to kill a fellow roman catholic in the cause of the war.
therefore roman catholic can't be true christians since its member don't love one another and kill one another at war and as such god cannot be in support of such wars where his worshippers kill one another.. the question that comes for consideration is, has jehovah ever supported wars between his own worshippers?.
These men wanted to kill me. “
Then he adds” So they raped my concubine to death.” ( But he never says outright that he shoved her into their arms)
swtte: yeah, like "righteous" Lot, who tried the same 'using his daughters as a human shield' ploy , trying to hand them over to the potential abusers.
In other words, where is the purity loving creator when we need him. making all the wt comments about j-based protection empty promises.
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.

and how abouts voracious herbivores like goats, if unchecked? turning verdant paradises into bare rocks?
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--"
I know this is in a different ligue, but walked in on the family viewing of the latest wt convention bible drama production, and thought it showed the Taliban.
