Something I wanted to mention.

As of late, I have been browsing the site to find material for the Daily Text. Recently, I found the gem of the Mailbag archive but there's a Got Questions? page where you can personally ask Robert questions. I know we have the forum where we can get answers from the friends; however, I think these questions might be used for a podcast since you speak into the microphone rather than a simple e-mail. Just something I wanted to let you guys know!😁

i’ve used this forum to ask him questions that i still have and rarely do i get an answer- i’ve never used any other format to ask my questions. I’m not trying to be critical- just saying my experience. He is only one person, i can’t imagine he could avail himself in this way. Eventually, answers come, just keep asking God for answers and He will provide them.

I just scanned through the Bible Questions section and clicked on your last three questions posted and I commented on all three of them. Maybe you don't consider that getting an "answer." I don't know.

i must have missed it- i often miss responses my eye sight is not well and my glasses need an update but unfortunately, i can’t afford it. and i don’t always use the bible questions forum, often i just tag your profile name but those drop off if you don’t see it right away- My apologies.

my larger points anyway were that you are only one man, you can’t possibly be expected to answer every question, your essays essentially cover 100% of the questions, i find answers to my questions on my own by reading them and to pray to God for answers. That was my main focus in my response, i wasn’t being critical (or trying to be), no need for sarcasm.

Thanks for the reminder on Got Questions. But to anyone who might be interested, what I started out doing was going on Robert’s Jehovah’s Watchman page, there’s a SEARCH BAR in the upper right hand corner, then I just type the subject in and VOILA all these different articles on that topic comes up. You may have to sift through a few articles that pertain to the subject but I can usually find what I’m specifically looking for.

That way I usually learn a little bit more too. Anyway, that works for me. I really appreciate all the hard work and time that Robert takes to put those commentaries and videos together.

Matthew 7:7,8 “Keep on asking, and it will be given to you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you; for everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking it will be opened.”

i really believe in that scripture and it comes to my mind often!

and even though i’m incredibly thankful for the time and tremendous effort e-watchman puts into his essays, book(s) videos, and also providing us a space to congregate, it’s Jehovah through Jesus that provides the answers we so desperately seek.

I’m doing fine today, had a good nights sleep too. 😴

Yes, when I first came on this website I knew that I just had to navigate my way around it in order to find what I was looking for. At first I would read anything that would pop up or catch my eye. Then I thought about the need to put things together in my mind I was learning with things I learned in WT but had to mentally sift out the latter and replace it with the reality that I was reading.

Gradually, everything was starting to make more sense. I had been asking Jehovah for answers to many of those questions pertaining to prophecy but I thought at the time the answers could only come from WT.
Up until now we had been taught to believe EVERYTHING already happened in 1914/1918!!! But it all seems more clear now because I now know that we’re still awaiting that day to arrive.

I’m glad to hear that you and your hubby are out and about today. Hope everything goes well and have a safe trip! 👍🏼

right now i am struggling to understand the chosen v normies in context of Christ’s parousia. Do normies see his glory too?
Hi Kim! No but we will see the effects on the chosen ones, thus providing us with a confirmation of sorts. No telling what those effects will be, a shiny face? or more tongues of fire? Who knows, but we will be able to identify the chosen ones somehow. How else are we going to feed, clothe them and give them something to drink unless we can clearly identify them?
