Thank you Medi-tator, you always have words of wisdom. That does make sense, and he probably never intended on actually "making a better world" than Jehovah, he just wanted to rebel and stir things up, create a little excitement. Who knows how his mind works, I certainly can't fathom it.
I'm just so 'mixed up' after 35+ years in the GB truth and now adjusting to the real truth. But from what I understand, Satan is not concerned with the people, whether they are right or not and whether he can do better than Jehovah, but merely to destroy Jesus and the anointed out of sheer jealousy. I also wonder if I understand correctly now.
I feel the same way evw, like I'm relearning and questioning everything, even foundational beliefs. I've been in the "truth" that long too, and I've always had unanswered questions that I stowed away, but now I have even more questions. It seems all I do is study and research, trying to prove to myself what is actually the truth. At times it seems unattainable. There are too many layers of lies. Too many liars. But I appreciate coming here and feeling pretty safe to discuss such things.
Jesus said that he had to hold back from telling his buddies any more than he did, otherwise their minds would have been totally blown. We today are not entirely far off from the same mental/spiritual capacity of Jesus' early disciples, so you are so completely correct that we still only know a fraction of the story. The thousand years will reveal some amazing things, especially things about our spiritual growth. We are doing things and reacting to things by nature now that appear as being normal that we will have to unlearn and replace during the kingdom rule (unless of course we are anointed which I am not). Staying true to Jesus words about keep knocking, seeking, asking etc is going to be key for us for many many years now and to come. That, along with a ton of prayer and requests for more faith! Amazing!!
Also, like drug addiction the more evil he does the more he wants and needs to do to satisfy the desire he revels in. It's like the constant need for more and heavier drugs until an overdose ends it.
There are a couple things to unpack here, keeping in mind that there is much we don't understand. However, I think one of the ways WT has really let us all down is their very elementary understanding of the bible, never really eating solid food.
Yes, that makes a lot of sense. He will step in with the brilliant solution to the problem he created. People will be so ready for his miraculous kingdom.
Hi MuleJule, Your question makes me think of dissecting what actually happened in the Garden of Eden. Ezekiel 28:13-17 can be applied to the corruption of Satan. Before he opposed Jehovah he was described as the “model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty”. He was even described as faultless until unrighteousness was found in him. Verse 17 reveals how he became corrupted. He began to think too much of himself and became haughty or arrogant, conceited. One of the cross-references to verse 17 is Isaiah 14:14, where the King of Babylon is inspired by Satan to be so ambitious as to not only have full domination over the earth but to also want to be in a god-like position. So that is Satan’s attitude. He saw Adam and Eve’s relationship with Jehovah and how they worshipped Jehovah and he not only wanted that worship for himself but he felt entitled to it because he was beautiful and wise.
So 'we' are just his 'toy' on which he indulges his satanic lusts, until such time when his destruction is inevitable?
Thank you so much!!! Here I can relate to. And can see his means to achieve his ultimate goal before getting destroyed
It is synthetic and these were their own words. Anyone who argues against that, was not paying attention to the people who made and promoted these injections. The whole basis for the company Moderna is a synthetic alteration of our genes. Again, their words not mine.
Think of Satan as a high functioning psychopath. His only concern is himself. He also gets off on the suffering and sin of the people of the earth. Nothing he does can ever be characterized as even close to good. He just doesn't care and loves to destroy and cause pain and distress. Everything out of his mouth is a lie as Jesus said: John 8:44
We’re right there with you! What do we “know and believe“ anymore? Recently watched a video where it was proposed that the whole WT society is just a giant hedge fund business run basically by George Soros. I don’t know if that’s been touched on here before. At first we wanted to say no way - that’s ridiculous but then you start connecting the dots. We watched in Warwick in disbelief as truckloads of new Mercedes’ sprinter vans were delivered weekly to shuttle us workers, rows and rows of brand new Ford F-250 diesel trucks for every 25 year old “overseer” to drive around the project, pallets and pallets of new DeWalt tools delivered weekly, it goes on and on. All brand new - no expense spared. We were there when the infamous Lett “we’re out of money” broadcast came out and we watched it sitting on our floor next to his room - the irony. We couldn’t make it make sense so as usual we just stuffed it and went back to work. Now I can’t help but think my whole life was spent supporting a giant scam. The GB are just actors for a globalist agenda. That makes sense why the .org homepage reads like CNN - also owned by Soros. Two different wings of the same bird. 😡
I really appreciate your response here Driven, very good points. I was also thinking of the description of satan in Ezekiel when I was meditating on his position and attitude. He no doubt thinks very highly of himself and his envy of Jehovah and Jesus has surely escalated over the ages.
Yes. Yes. Yes. It has taken me almost a year to get to this point, but I am totally with you on all this. I do think they are part of this agenda, leading their unsuspecting sheep to slaughter. It makes me ill to even watch them or hear what they are peddling at meetings. And everyone is humbly following along, parroting every word, bowing to the “faithful slave” and all their wonderous works.
Amen to that. Our father knows and appreciates our sincerity and surely does not expect us to have it all figured out. That’s why all of us are here, love of truth and our creator. I’m so grateful to know you all are yearning and searching for truth. I have faith that when the time is right Jehovah will reveal what we need to know.
Great comment Citrine. Regarding the above; have you ever given money to a homeless person? If so, have you ever found out, after the fact, that he spent the money on drugs or booze? Or that he was actually living like a king and used begging to make a great living for himself?
