Shawnster's Achievements

  1. Well, some articles I saw said the bombings only set Iran back about a month in their efforts. If true, then the US is only making half-hearted attempts. Politics? International Relations? Does a half-hearted attack placate Russia into not stepping in?
  2. The national level of Fox News presents the news with a very heavy slant in favor of the current political party in office. Now, all news outlets can or do spin the stories they present. Some just spin or lean in a particular direction more than others. This is less of an issue at the local news level, but it still happens.
  3. Have you tried searching on Truepeoplesearch.com or any other site like that? We've gotten quite adept at finding addresses since covid.
  4. Some of my searches From wol.jw.org what scriptures show the burden of responsibility elders have and how they are answerable to Jehovah Using wol.jw.org what scripture basically says people who knowingly and willingly sin after having knowledge there's no forgiveness for them Using only wol.jw.org and jw.org what is the difference between intercessor and mediator Using wol.jw.org what role will the anointed have at Armageddon Now, a problem I have ran into is that chatgtp will sometimes reference a Watchtower for a specific date, article, page and paragraph, yet that article does not exist. Maybe the magazine is the wrong date. There have definitely been specific quotes that I cannot find in any magazine. Always verify the references
  5. You're still calculating, though. Once the math comes out, we've begun a fools errand. Since there is nothing in the scriptures that discusses the length of time previous nations existed, this is a non factor. That being said, we understand based on Bible prophecy that there is not much time left. Jesus said the last days would be seen by 1 generation, which indicates a limited time. Those keeping on the watch see clearly all the indicators that we are in the final part of the last days. But we still cannot calculate anything. Not the day, month, nor year.
  6. Yes. The UN gains power and pretty much immediately we go into the great tribulation. There will not be an opportunity to return that power to the nations. Plus, once someone or something gains power, they typically don't want to give it back
  7. And there you go... Iran fires missiles toward US military bases in Qatar and Iraq https://www.cnn.com/webview/world/live-news/israel-iran-us-strikes-06-23-25-intl-hnk?adobe_mc=TS%3D1750699521|MCMID%3D08663742468277334497187081918837612039|MCORGID%3D7FF852E2556756057F000101%40AdobeOrg&iid=cnn-mobile-app
  8. Maybe Iran will be given some kind of financial or material offer that they will accept as sufficient compensation for their loss, pain, and suffering. Peace through "The Art of the Deal."
  9. Some view limitations to mean weaknesses or deficits. By this definition, no. Jehovah does not have any limitations. The limitations Jehovah has placed upon himself are the result of love, wisdom, justice, and power.
  10. Yes. Iran fall to Israel? Only if Israel plans to invade and send in ground forces. That does not seem to be how Israel is operating. They will bomb targets, and they have seized land since 1948, but currently they do not seem to be conquerors. Iran fall to revolutionaries or insurgents? That happened before in 1979. They were more secular before the revolution, but they were still a Muslim nation. This could happen if their government is really destabilized. Falls to someone else? As in government overthrow? By whom?
