I know that many sisters think its tough to find a suitable husband in the ORG and no doubt it is. But it is the same complaint in my Uber riders. I get a lot of University ladies and they are often talking about how the men that are suitable for dating in Honolulu are few and far between.

This thread made me consider the “gene” pool of people today. I personally know at least 2 sisters that married brothers only to find out later that their husbands were closet homosexuals. Another sister married a brother, 2nd marriage, and he molested her son. These are not as rare as one...

Many people think that being married will automatically brings happiness and it does not. Or, having children will bring happiness and not necessarily. In this system both marriage and having children will bring additional responsibilities and worries. However, it is something each person...

I enjoyed listening to the podcast, which covers common questions that many people have. And, I appreciate how it clarifies what the bible means when it says not to listen to those who will say that Jesus is in the wilderness or inner rooms or some other location (2nd coming) when we are...

But the members are the congregation. No difference.

Its the same result as tithing. They may have updated it but just before I stopped attending meetings they had each head submit a commitment on a piece of paper. It’s not a bill but there is coercion.

Which is why we should not get discourage when “dust-ups” happen on the forum. It could be instigated by false brothers or sisters. I am convinced they are at least watching the forum and likely they have interacted, if only to throw out some bait for the unwary.

Zechariah 5:1-4: “Again I looked up, and I saw a flying scroll. He asked me: “What do you see?”I replied: “I see a flying scroll, which is 20 cubits long and 10 cubits wide.” Then he said to me: “This is the curse that is going out over the face of all the earth, because everyone who steals...

It is sad to think that there will be too many who actually do not have the faith that will be needed to survive. Sobering but the scriptures tell us. Zechariah 13:8-9: “‘And in all the land,’ declares Jehovah,’ Two parts in it will be cut off and perish; And the third part will be left...

You’d think he expected Jehovah to thank him for keeping the Bethelites so healthy.

All that the brothers at Bethel accomplished was because the Bethel family stayed healthy, according to Splane. Silly me. I thought it was because of Jehovah’s holy spirit. And, of course, what works for the Bethel family will work for all others, even if they have to dismiss the sick ones in...

Now I have a new thought about Jesus’ enthronement. Is Jesus enthroned before the anointed are sealed? And, I’m not sure I understand the significance of the marriage of the lamb. There is a Watchtower article that makes the point that after a marriage, the wife is taken into the home of the...

These real life and current experiences are so valuable to relate to others.

I wanted to revive this video for those who are newer to the forum in case they haven’t listened to it. There is so much information to consider and one point that stands out to me this morning is at about 30 minutes into the video that talks about how Revelation shows that the 1/4th of mankind...
