All scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching,reproving and setting matters straight.2nd Tim 3:16

The main theme of the  bible is Gods kingdom <government>who he has appointed his son Jesus as king of it and to vindicate Jehovah as the TRUE God and rightful sovereign of the universe after Satan challenged his right to rule.

See, when I read the Bible I see a main theme of redemption - the Lord saving His people from their sin.  It's on every page!

Donnamarg323, I have always wanted to ask a JW this question but I haven't had a chance yet.  I'm very curious about your experience with going door to door.  Is it scary?  Are people rude?  Do you get turned away a lot?  How has Covid affected your approach to witnessing?

The door to door witnessing has been put on hold for almost a yr now cos of the virus worldwide.

We use zoom and the postal mail for witnessing.You can use JW.org for EVERYTHING.Great instruction RE the virus.Of course the phone is used as well.

There are many ways God still feeds his people spiritually online.

The Theocratic part of the meeting prepares you at a young age to speak to others and especially today to gather in those that are receptive to the message.

You wont find a better site then JW.org for learning the bible and instruction on many other matters.Many books,magazines and bible aids.

Jesus said you learned the truth free......give it back free <teaching it>

The bible prepares you the majority arent interested RE the broad and spacious road leads to destruction and the rd to life is narrow.And Jesus said to dust your feet off after going door to door and not getting any interest in Gods kingdom from many.

The only hope for the redemption of mankind is with Gods kingdom thru Jesus.

Yes 144000 are bought from the earth to rule with Jesus in heaven,but the righteous will inherit the earth and live under that heavenly government forever.

Satan has blinded many using the political and Christendom lies.

The Gospel can be anything that works for the individual.  It can be in many forms

I feel like talking over the internet can be tricky because you can't see my facial expressions or hear my tone but I promise I'm saying the following in a friendly tone with a smile on my face :)

Who told you this or where did you get this information?

Its the same as freedom of religeon.

Man gets to decide how God wants to be served and obeyed.

As the scripture in bible states,should the piece of clay tell the potter make me this way?

Goes back to Satan telling Eve shes better off deciding for herself whats good and bad......U dont need God.

OH yeh!!!6000 yrs of misery,death,sickness,war,greed.......

Need we say more?

U like Eccl Movie...here ya go.....

Eccl 8:9 man has dominated himself to his own injury.

Or Jer 10:23......to earthling man his way does not belong.He is walking even to direct his own step.Correct me O God.
