thesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.
We don't know
or some claim that, but as one of the wt F&DS members said in Australia : " It would be presumptuous to say that Wt is the sole channel used by god ", or words to that effect.
It is easy to blame the deity for wt's failings, flailing. wt doctrine is: the wt was appointed in 1919 to be the fds, given all the monopoly authority to feed the domestics. You pay with your life if you doubt or disagree.
support the nazis in what? If everybody knew about, and dwelled on the atrocities against the Jewish people, the Soviet female prisoners of war, many would have been less enthusiastic about nazi actions. but remember, Germany was also facing extinction, by an enemy that we now know was bent of eliminating a nationality if needed be. So, there should be a distinction between the extreme nazi ideology and the right to legitimate warfare that every nation claims for its defence. now,
what does "covid" to do with it? If you are faced with extinction you will take the vaccine? btw, if you can get the shingles shot, take it, better than feeling you have been shot, wherever it hits.
for what it is worth to those interested.
1914.. tel-aviv university.
"biblical military campaigns reconstructed using geomagnetic field data.
"I agree with WT interpretation" Fisherman,
When all is said and done, !914, derived from these dates, is a classic wt false prophecy, because they announced, predicted that in that year, the world would end and they, anointed all, would have a rapid ascend to heaven, clearing the way.
Even 3 years later they still were stunned by that failure, denying it, by going at it again, with another like follow up,
" The World has ended, Millions now living will never die." they will go down, or up with that.
The evidence is cast in stone, or charcoal.
youtuber millstone research has done a video on the fact that the may 2015 monthly broadcast is no longer on jw org.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/categories/studiomonthlyprograms.
the broadcast was presented by lett who mentions he had the backing of the other gb members regarding his comments.. the broadcast is basically about soliciting jws for funds as well as other 'valuable things' for the organisation.
this is the one where he claims that the money flowing out was more than the money flowing in.
wt changing their publishing history is an old fact, yearly bound volumes often differed from the original printed copy. In science (which wt writers compare their bible research compare too, sjust one instance like that would sink your career, or tacking boat.
we used to believe it was because of seeing the others' intense grief at bereavement:.

To be confronted too with his impending mortality, and not dying in his sleep like his friend. Only month away from : "Eli, Eli, why----?
maybe this man (sir isaac newton), has more credibility than fred franz in picking a date for armageddon ?.
interestingly, newton(brilliant mathematician, everyone must know him) was very interested in the bible and revelation .. .
what newton tried to do was determine a particular timescale for the apocalypse.
Ussher's proposed date of 4004 BC differed little from other Biblically based estimates, such as those of Jose ben Halafta
Keppler was disfellowshipped for his bible checking, Newton kept mum about some of his bible research to avoid that fate, which was often fatal.
P.S. A Wt speaker put the limit to 2075, giving us 15 more years than the genius.

The Watchtowers "Slave" was appointed in 1919, but was, until recently "all the anointed as a class" (a lot of dis-appointed at that time of change). So,
the first century "governing body" was not part of the F&DS. but
Wt should follow that pattern, to re-create the divinely approved setup, therefore
recognize that outside contributors (like Paul) have more insight, inspiration, than wt writers themselves. Even,
if like the Apostle Peter, they find "apostate writings" hard to understand, because of blinkers.
First century divine pattern: majority of relevant doctrine was written outside "Headquarters". Probably
still is, because a lot of "new Light" came because of the untenable positions were pointed out to them.
dr. bart ehrman is a bible scholar who wrote such books as misquoting jesus: the story behind who changed the bible and why and how jesus became god: the exaltation of a jewish preacher from galilee.. i found this interview with dr. ehrman fascinating.

Hope that his work turns out to live up to his name's meaning, Man of Honour.
for those of you not up to speed on the latest jw trends, one of the key scriptures the jws are using in field serve-us lately is job 26:7, wherein the writer describes the earth as “hanging upon nothing”.. this text is used to indicate the bible’s “reliability”.
the reasoning goes something like this:.
“see, centuries ago, people thought the world was flat, or was resting on elephants or turtles, or some such nonsense.
The OP was not about laws to tame human behaviour, but the way our plane planet has been in stable orbit for 4.5 billion years to have life exist on Earth, and try to find explanations. and
Here too is a balance of pull and push in action, lifting out of gravity wells by energy, versus the counteracting concentrating forces of gravity.
May be Prof. Lawrence Krauss took the title of his book: " A universe [created] from Nothing" from the verse: "the Earth hanging on Nothing"
Energy both quotations. .

Phizzy, sorry, I was referring to the text in the Opening Post, Job 26:7, "--hanging the Earth--", I see nothing circular in the expression "Earth", instead, the four corners are the main bible theme on that, right to Revelation after the 1000 year reign.
As I said, in the daytime, the Earth actually hangs from the Sun above, by the warping of spacetime.
The bible can be wrong, even when it seems to be right.
