I believe it was the scriptures in Genesis Chap.1; 29-31 where God gave them, man and beast "all green vegetation for food" and only after the flood did he permit them to eat animals for obvious reasons.

Yes fabian 1 it has been posted before but dont worry sometimes many of us miss previous posts.
Welcome to the forum ,their are some amazing people here with a lot of insight on how the JW religion operates and controls people and are very subtle about it. .
I`m looking forward to it myself as I`m sure many others here are also looking forward to it.
I hope it lives up to what we expect.

The thought of imperfect human beings ruling with JC makes me shudder ,especially when we have so much information at our disposal now how they treat the flock.
When I think about it if Jesus who lived here on earth for 30 years of his life and being perfect why in the world would he need or benefit from having 144000 dickheads ruling with him .?
It just doesn`t make any sense at all.

I had to submit to a drugs test yesterday.
by joe134cd ini had to submit to a random work place drugs test yesterday, of which i passed.
in this country smoking marijuana / methamphetamine is illegal.
the thing that really struck me was that despite the illegal nature of it, was just how prevalent and problem is.

Here in the state of Victoria Australia the alcohol limit is .05 over that and you can be prosecuted if in charge of a vehicle.
Pardon my ignorance but are their limits as to how much drugs are in your system / eg a safe limit and a no-go limit ?
Just curious .

Is that anything to boast about ? Bible societys have been around for God knows how long centuries ? and have been distributing the Bible and sections of the bible in so many different languages all over the world .
What are they crowing about ?
I suspect they are preaching to the converted here in as much as those who are taking advantage of these are for the most part already JW`s .

Were the JWs ever anywhere near a bona fide religion?
by punkofnice inthe religion/corporation has changed constantly since the start.
they appear more whacko than ever.. but, were the jws ever anywhere near a bona fide religion at any time?.
disclaimer: i think all religions are a scam.

JWs are right about the divine name and no war.
In the first edition of the "Aid book" they admitted that the name Jehovah was not the correct pronunciation of the Divine name ,however that was the most popular name in christendom.
So that is why they adopted it.
And they certainly agree with the "war of the great day of God the Almighty .Jw`s are not pacifists and I know you never implied they were SBF ,however I`m just clarifying the situation.
Were the JWs ever anywhere near a bona fide religion?
JW`s early Watchtower magazine under Russell may well have been with the heading " Zions Watchtower and Herald of Christs Presence" where they gave due dilligence to the role Jesus had in Gods purpose ,however after Russells death the emphasis went on to Jehovah.
And nowhere in the C.G.Scriptures , the New testament are followers of Jesus Christ instructed to be witnesses of Jehovah ,yet there are many scriptures whereby they are instructed to be witnesses of Jesus.

and helping them to navigate how they can look up older publications and quotes of the wtb&ts that they would rather remain hidden.. we all know jehovah`s witnesses /governing body never apologizes for mistakes they make they just don`t mention them anymore and explain it away as new light from god.. actually a big cop out.. welcome to all you who are new to this site .. every day their seems to be someone new posting which is great .. and if this is any indication of what is happening in all other ex jw sites the wtb&ts are in deep trouble .

Jehovah`s Witnesses claim to be the only religion that strictly follows the Bible and that they are a Bible based religion , correct ?
The Bible gives clear direction on how to baptize a person wanting to be a Christian . Matthew 28: 19,20.
" Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the holy spirit " etc,etc.
Do the GB / JW`s do that ? No.
They do not follow the bible example on such an important point of becoming a Christian, a disciple of Jesus according to the scriptures.
In which to gain God`s favor .

Is it my imagination or are many more JW`s waking up to TTATT and it is "speeding up in this time of the end" for the WTB&TS

Just a brief update SF, here in Victoria as of today there are 7 watch & act meaning keep vigilant about the state of these fires by keeping tuned in to radio stations issuing warnings about the fires.
These 7 separate fires are all still uncontrolled fires burning in the state.
I don/t have an update about the other states that still have fires burning except for the fact parts of NSW had some significant rain overnight ,and its cooler weather today however temperatures are expected to become hot again in the next couple of days.
