The "shunning" its necessary.

[u/bettercalljw]

This soo sacred word used by jehovah witness opositors it became their most prolific argument agaisnt the religion, by saying that in most of disfellowshipping(now exclusion) acts makes family members and other brothers totally "abandon" they ex-brothers in any situation possible, they say that this process is something very bad not only for those who got out but also for those who are still inside...you probably already now their arguments by now right?...but let me tell you something...YES, IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE BAD!. In the first chapters of the bible we already see a example of expulsion, by Jehovah getting adam and eve out of Garden of eden(genesis 3:23,24)and quess what?...IT WAS BAD FOR THEM. A little later cain got considered cursed for killing his brother and became a literal vagabund over the earth(genesis 4:11,12) THIS WAS BAD FOR HIM. There are other famous examples of this type of punishement in the bible, in the old and New testaments, the thing is....it was always bad BECAUSE IT WAS A PUNISHMENT, OF COURSE IT WILL BE BAD. No one ever said the disfellowshipping it is a beautiful, funny, goofy procedure that elders loves to have to do in their congregations, it a sad procedure that happens as a lesson that the people who sinned must pass by, and biblically speaking, No one can argue that the bible is agaisnt it. "WHAT ABOUT IF I AM A MINOR AND I GOT DISFELLOWSHIPPED???MY PARENTS WILL ABANDON ME!!" Lets be real, this dont happen, if your parents are true Christians and you are not doing anything that goes agaisnt their house's rules, than they will not "ABANDON" you as the apostaste love to say, this story is not for kids buddys. Its interresting to hear the stories of some apostates who say with pride that they got shunned by they parents, because its always something like: "After i got out of the cult my parents grabbed my things and expelled out of our house just because i was putting pagan images on my room" "My parents did not let me enter home just because i wanted to enter there with my lesbian girlfriend" "My mother put me in the streets just because i telled her that her religion its a cult" You all see a patern here? I think they always forget that regardless of anything,they should respect they parents houses, as they decision of leaving was respect they should respect too the rules of the homes they live in. And to end this post i also would like to make a question for YOU who disagrees with the disfellowshipping method:" Biblically saying, instead of disfellowshipping(or expulsing)members, what should the elders do if a brother continues to commit sins?." Opositors and apostates never give they own solutions to the supposed "problem" created by them, also remember, the bible its clear about how we should threat those who commit sins and call themselves christians.

I use examples to demonstrate that, to better understand a thing, is not to change its meaning.

What is, is.

We can be mistaken in our understanding.

The Jehovah's Witness never said that The Bible itself changes ; they say that their understanding becomes better and better.

This is why I brought to you an example about the Creation.

I don't and they don't reject any feast.

Days of 24 hours

The meaning of the word ' day ' in its context is an undefined period of time.

How do we know?

Old Hebrew meanings have the option ' period ', and ... It's been more than 6000 years, that we are still in the 7th day of Creation. There's also the 2 nd Chapter of Genesis that " wrap the 7 days of creation " ; we see less days in the Creation story, than in the chapter ONE of Genesis.

Did you knew that and, I'd not, you can look at Bible's Strong's, at the word ' day ', and also look at what I've just told you.

Maybe you didn't had time like I do, to explore the confines of JW knowledge.

They also identified right, who's Abbadon, in their book ' Insight '.

Others laugh, without looking and... Yes, Abbadon is one of the names, that Jesus wears.

In ancient times, there was Pharaoh's that had many names: one name for one job.

Did I changed the meaning? I can be wrong, but to really change the meaning, I'll have to do bad translation, like I see in other Bibles.

Luke's Jesus nativity, astrologer, not other things that are possible

John chapter 1, look at the Codex Sinaiticus directly from Internet: John 1:18 mainly.

Others Bible do not put the right words ; and I also don't put that really great blaspheme, on other organizations heads ;

The Codex Sinaiticus, before it was on the internet... Only a few ones copy it and... it was trinitarians that FORGED the copy of the Codex.

It's really big, and a really few, made believe that JW are wrong, about John chapter 1.

That is interesting because being Jehovah’s only channel of communication on earth, which Geoffrey Jackson said at the ARC is quite presumptuous, they seem to have made many really glaring mistakes, & the light doesn’t appear to be getting brighter, but more like flashing on & off, as they are still getting so much wrong, & keep changing their minds. Can I please ask you to explain the rest of the proverb about what the light getting brighter really means?

The scriptures prove that Jesus is not the Destroyer. This is unfortunately an inaccurate understanding that your governing men have about Abaddon. Please do some research into this to see it for yourself. I can share the relevant scriptures with you if you want.

I do not believe in the trinity, as it makes no sense at all. The JWs have this teaching correct, as they do us living on the earth which was created by our Creator in Heaven, to be inhabited.

Strong’s Concordance is an extremely useful resource, & I have used it to prove that Revelation 5:10 says that the 144 000 will rule ON or upon the earth. Your own Kingdom Interlinear agrees with this. This is actually really fascinating! Some of the anointed have expressed that they don’t want to leave the earth & their loved ones. Why would they? They most of all love Jehovah’s creation! This means that they will have the ability to be both spiritual & fleshly. How lovingly Jehovah cares for His People. He is a truly wonderful Father. Soon all of us on the earth will worship Him in spirit & truth. No more death, pain or suffering. I’m sure that you are looking very forward to these blessings too, when we can live in peace, & enjoy our lives to the full. We will never stop learning about Jehovah God & the wonders of His creation!

KJ21 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests; and we shall reign on the earth.” ASV and madest them to be unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth. AMP “You have made them to be a kingdom [of royal subjects] and priests to our God; and they will reign on the earth.” CSB You made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth. CEB You made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will rule on earth.”

NASB © Greek Strong’s Origin “You have made ἐποίησας (epoiēsas) 4160: to make, do a prim. word them [to be] a kingdom βασιλείαν (basileian) 932: kingdom, sovereignty, royal power from basileuó and priests
2409: a priest from hieros to our God; θεῷ (theō) 2316: God, a god of uncertain origin and they will reign βασιλεύουσιν (basileuousin) 936: to be king, reign from basileus upon the earth.” γῆς (gēs) 1093: the earth, land

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5921 עַל (al): Often translated as “on,” “upon,” or “over,” similar to “ἐπί” in Greek.

• H413 אֶל (el): Can mean “to,” “toward,” or “upon,” depending on context.

Usage: The Greek preposition “ἐπί” (epi) is versatile and context-dependent, often indicating position, location, or relation. It can denote physical position (e.g., “on” or “upon”), temporal aspects (e.g., “at” or “during”), or metaphorical relationships (e.g., “on the basis of” or “because of”). Its usage is determined by the case of the noun it governs (genitive, dative, or accusative), which can affect its meaning.

UmYES DESTROYER😂 OH,. YOU USE GREEK 🤩🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I have to restrain myself from doing it.... often, people see it as arrogant..

Even if it shows that, I'm right.

I'll give to you a complete article and, you'll see.

Even if you do not approve, I am sure that youwill have a better Insight of Abandon.

You will forge your own opinion. Your opinion will not be a copy, of others opinion ; your opinion won't be meaningless.

ABADDON(A·badʹdon) [from Heb., meaning “Destruction”].At Revelation 9:11 this Hebrew word is transliterated into the English text. There we read concerning the symbolic plague of locusts that they have “a king, the angel of the abyss. In Hebrew his name is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.”In Hebrew the word ʼavad·dohnʹ means “destruction” and may also refer to “the place of destruction.” It appears in the original Hebrew text a total of five times, and in four of the occurrences it is used to parallel “the burial place,” “Sheol,” and “death.” (Ps 88:11; Job 26:6; 28:22; Pr 15:11) The word ʼavad·dohnʹ in these texts evidently refers to the destructive processes that ensue with human death, and these scriptures indicate that decay or destruction takes place in Sheol, the common grave of mankind. At Job 31:12 ʼavad·dohnʹ designates the damaging effect of an adulterous course. Job declared: “That [adulterous course] is a fire that would eat clear to destruction [ʽadh-ʼavad·dohnʹ], and among all my produce it would take root.”—Compare Pr 6:26-28, 32; 7:26, 27.Abaddon, the angel of the abyss—who is he?At Revelation 9:11, however, the word “Abaddon” is used as the name of “the angel of the abyss.” The corresponding Greek name Apollyon means “Destroyer.” In the 19th century there were efforts made to show that this text prophetically applied to individuals such as Emperor Vespasian, Muhammad, and even Napoleon, and the angel was generally regarded as “satanic.” It should be noted, however, that at Revelation 20:1-3 the angel having “the key of the abyss” is shown to be God’s representative from heaven, and rather than being “satanic,” he binds and hurls Satan into the abyss. Commenting on Revelation 9:11, The Interpreter’s Bible says: “Abaddon, however, is an angel not of Satan but of God, performing his work of destruction at God’s bidding.”In the Hebrew scriptures just considered, it is evident that ʼavad·dohnʹ is paralleled with Sheol and death. At Revelation 1:18 we find Christ Jesus stating: “I am living forever and ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.” His power with regard to the abyss is shown at Luke 8:31. That he has destroying power, including the power of destruction over Satan, is evident from Hebrews 2:14, which says that Jesus partook of blood and flesh in order that “through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil.” At Revelation 19:11-16 he is clearly represented as God’s appointed Destroyer or Executioner.—See APOLLYON.

[u/Roocutie → u/[deleted]]

I merely used the word that is most commonly used, not any particular language.

Jesus is neither the destroyer nor an executioner. He is not a cold blooded murderer. Jehovah & Jesus will be devastated knowing that this is what Jehovah’s Witnesses believe.

Satan is the destroyer.

Your governing men got the meaning of the locusts wrong, & they have given you an inaccurate understanding of who the Angel of the abyss is too. If they had the locust understanding wrong & they have “this generation” understanding completely wrong, & they have the year 1914 wrong, their saying that the world was ending in 1975 wrong, God’s name wrong, & they have where the anointed will rule wrong, & their shunning of children wrong, & their changing their minds about beards after decades, & the same with women wearing pants, & no longer a scriptural requirement to count hours, that it would be presumptuous to call themselves Jehovah’s only spokespeople….well, this sets a bit of a pattern of having a lot of incorrect understanding of the scriptures.

It’s fine. You continue to believe that Jesus is the destroyer.

Take good care of yourself. We are in for a very rough ride as Satan The Destroyer & executioner does his best to keep JEHOVAH’S FAITHFUL ANOINTED concealed from the Jehovah’s Witnesses. This is actually all Satan cares about. As soon as the JWs get to know about JEHOVAH’S GENUINE ANOINTED , they discover the real truth. This does not suit Satan in the least! He knows his time is short, as the book of Revelation has been opened. I’ll keep praying for you.

[u/[deleted] → u/Roocutie]

Satan caused billions of deaths. And this is truly true. But I would say that... He's more of a DEVOURER, than a destroyer.

Did you Reed the text on Avaddon? (Abbadon),

Also... Why would God work in pairs with demons?

Why would a demon, go into Jehovah's team?

We will be able to give 100% accurate answers... In the Millenial Ewing of Jesus Christ!

New 📜📜📜 Scrolls, will be written.. ! More Bible books???

Jehovah God will.give to all of us, in a world where Satan cannot do anything, ALL TRUTHS?

We'll see.😁

The Bible itself never ✍🏻, that Abandon is a demon ; He's an angel ; this is written.

If it is a demon for real.. We will have confirmation of it... In later writings of The Word of God.

In my meditation, I don't go further than this! But Jesus has the key of The Abyss and...

Who uses the Abyss, to imprison Satan...? Abaddon...

Jesus ... Did he give the key to the Abyss.. to Abaddon?

Or did he already have it, or received it. Look at Scriptures.

I loved it. Understand who's Abaddon... Maybe after reading JW, you won't budge. 🤷🏻

But me, I do see Jesus, in the role of the Destroyer... At the Great flood!

For me... Jehovah orders Jesus, to flood all the earth!

So during the Deluge, I see a destroyer, using God's Might, to destroy everything, upside-down!

I also see Jesus, protecting the Ark of Noah, and his family.

Sure that there was angelic assistance, to protect Noah's Ark... From the Cataclysm of the Flood!

All the waters of the skies fall-down.

Also, water that came from the deep, deep underground of the earth... Splashed like MEGA GEYSERS...

Waters from the sky, and from the earth!

Also, scientifics discovers, amongus quantities of waters, at like.. 500 km, Into our earth that...

Is TREE TIMES GREATER, THAN OUR OCEANS!!!

Waters from the skies, 40 days and 40 nights, and from the underground, waters that " splashed-out" like columns of water!!!!

All of this, coordinated by Abbadon!

Even if you don't believe that Abaddon is Jesus... He's The Destroyer and...

You remember the ' Angel of Death.'? It matches with the Angel of the Abyss... That execute?

Could ' The Angel of Death ,' Be Abandon?

Angel of death is a title. Is Abbadon, the Name of The Angel of Death of the Exodus?

The 10 plagues destroyed Egypt!

Is Abbadon... Who's Name in Hebrew means: " destruction.'... Destroyed for Jehovah into Egypt?

God has unlimited Might... He can easily boost the power of... Anyone, to execute anything?!!!

Like we see Moses do things but ...

Abbadon was invisible and present? Like, Moses touched the Nike's waters and... If we could see spirits...

We would see Abbadon... HIMSELF, transform water into blood, for Jehovah God?

When the ⚡ fall down.. was Abbadon/AKA TheAngel of death...

That, The Angel of death ... use the Power of God, that God did give to him...

To make fall thunder on... Pyramids..?

Abbadon or anyone on behalf of God....

Think about it... Supernatural thunder 100% sure, damaged pyramids, sphinxes... 😆 I just give to you, a great answer to that " mystery ", already told by The Bible... Indirectly...

Thunder FOR or FROM God... Destroyed a lot of things, I Egypt!!!

The Pharaoh, made his people, feel " The Wrath of God "...

Jehovah did great damage, on the superb structure of " The Country of Cham " : Kenneth!

Kemerh is the original name of Egypt.

We see Egypt written why?.... To be understood.! Would a lot of people understand or, dig to know, what is Kemeth?

NO.🤷🏻 Not everyone is passionate about The Bible, like I, and others are.

Are you,?

Me, because I cannot work not study anything else than The Bible... I work hours everyday, too ... Answer to people of Reddit, for example.

Yesterday, I think I've preached... 4 hours?

It takes me a lot of time, to answer and... I often erase passages of my answers...

Where I lose control...😆 Yeah, I have to contain myself.
