famous last words: "Eli, El, why have you forsaken me ?."

it seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.
who is the way, the truth and the life?

a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.
wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.
that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.
Dark Matter was to make the BB Theory feasible, but it has never been observed. There is not one shred of scientific evidence that it exists
not so, the dark matter hypothesis was invented initially to account for the high orbital velocity in the router reaches of galaxies. (could be a misunderstanding of the gravity equations too) and
S.B. 100 million years from Big Beginning? fancy this, 400 000 years!
250 times farther back.

14 p. 18 - "in the past, we understood jesus’ words to refer to the deeds the resurrected ones will practice after their resurrection; that is, some will come to life and practice good things while others will come to life and practice vile things.
Imagine though, the Father, or the Son having all the ugly traits of sinners in their memory so as to resurrect them as the same person, in order that way they will not get away scot free for past misdeeds.
jw's share a belief which most christian denominations teach - heaven awaits!
(matthew 20:28) ...the son of man came...to give his life as a ransom in exchange for many.”.
what does a 'ransom' normally achieve?.
wt doctrine is, that the "anointed" get the right to everlasting life through partaking, and they then sacrifice that acquired right, as Jesus did, to aspire to immortality in heaven.
which begs the question, if the anointed partakers get the right to everlasting life on earth, why does wt not allow those that do not want to go to heaven pastake, to get at least a crack at the basic ransom offering? ? After all, Jesus served the emblems to those with an earthly kingdom hope?
Jesus: " you will be with me in Paradise" , even without prior partaking. just for a few moments of countable "service time".
Everlasting life on Earth is impossible, the planet and its furnace is half finished. so:
make that a temporary paradise on this planet. aka heaven on Earth, or paradise in heaven.
i know who won't be saved according to witnesses and that includes just about everyone alive at armageddon who is not a jehovah’s witness.
.
others who are permanently lost include adam and eve, those who died in the flood, people of sodom and gomorrah and apostates to their one true religion..
what if this whole salvation/ not dying idea is a misreading of the purpose of life in the universe?
Dying , particularly late in life is good for the species, striving for betterment, progress.
fertile seniors have pushed our species into longevity, methuselah of old fantasies notwithstanding.
God Believer:
nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed,
These past "personality traits" were abandoned changed, finished. not just swept under the carpet by the ransom. about the danger of them to recur in a dedicated christian, it mentions that it would amount to sacrificing the Christ anew.
The ransom is not the carefree cover all that some make it out to be, not saved no matter what.

From the obituary:
"-- Als alles fertig war, kamen die guten Christen, nahmen das Material, sagten, sie würden später zahlen und meldeten sich nie wieder.Davon erholte sich die Siebdruckerei nie mehr richtig."

“who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” — math 24:45. according to jw, the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the jehovah’s witnesses religion..
the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the Jehovah’s Witnesses religion.
Fm: self-appointed , anointed in 1919, based on their then flashy teaching campaign: "----- Millions now living will never die!" so, answer please:
are there > 2 million over 108 year old armageddon proof witnesses today? or at least "sheep" that have helped feed, watered, consoled kingdom workers?
and how about the pre-1919 bible writers, teachers?, --- unqualified? so, face it:
not appointed, but will be disappointed. already are, as proven, condemned false prophets.
jworg, wtbts inc still pitching the same line:" Millions now living will never die", and that means you.
when is the kingdom of god coming?.
on being asked by the pharisees when the kingdom of god was coming, he answered them: “the kingdom of god is not coming with paratherisis; 21 nor will people say, ‘see here!’ or, ‘there!’ for look!
the kingdom of god is in your midst.” —lu 17:20,21. .
In the meantime, since 1914 he has been alongside those in his congregation and the preaching work.
Fm: 1914? as far as the coming of the kingdom goes, bible references to that iconic date are not as clear as Colossians 1:13,
showing, the kingdom existing then, at time of writing for the congregation, its members and its mission. Co.1:13, for wt believers a colossal elephant in the room, if they cared for bible truth.
