This is good to know. My "gut" ...or the sense in my spirit ...that I always have had around JW and their teachings was "YUCK/cult." But I have never actually looked into what they believe in detail.

Whistleblower exposes Texas Children's Hospital for ILLEGAL "Gender Affirming Care"

Sister, just stay the course and keep drawing closer to His side. It will make more sense the further you go. But we must be determined to know the truth and follow Him into freedom no matter whether we get all our answers here or not. In eternity, we will understand.

Welcome, @Riven ...nice to have you here. :)

Yep ...the same as when you would throw punches (etc) if someone was attacking your wife.

I'll do whatever He leads with each given moment.

If they have older relatives who are trustworthy enough to watch their children while they work (if that's the obstacle) ...there are some excellent Christian curriculums that are set up so well that a child from at least 2nd or 3rd grade can do the work on their own and wait for mom and/or dad...

Take all of scripture as one, without picking and choosing.bits and pieces. All of scripture fits together. In context.... Ephesians 2:10-22 [10]For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. [11]Wherefore...

So when you speak of using a gun, it's not trusting a gun ...but when others speak of using a gun, it is. Okay ...I get it Mr self-righteous. lol You are putting words into people's mouths that they never said nor indicated. Those who have a different view have stated that they believe...

Did you actually answer any of those questions? Or did you just pose them? To me, it's enough that Jesus advised they buy swords. He didn't tell them to go about forcing people or killing people. But they were for a reason. The obvious reason is defense (not offense).

Psalm 4:8 [8]I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. One of my favorite verses. God brought me to this as a baby Christian. I have clinged to His Word as a lifeline since the age of 13 when I came to Christ. @Matthias, no one here has...

I'll be specific. Would you throw punches, or some other form of physical action? Would you use a gun, even if not aiming to kill? That may be tricky if you're not a great aim.

I appreciate the desire for justice .... in this case, I'd settle for divorce and handing them over to God.

What would the action be?

You haven't. You have deliberately avoided and danced around every direct question. And that says a lot...

I agree ...and yet, you have answered none of my questions. None.

I'll tell you something, @Matthias... I have suffered many things ...and so have my children ....that God knows, and will judge. Have you ever actually suffered persecution to the point of being tortured, having your loved ones tortured and killed, and being willing to lose your life? There...

Yes, and He said you should be ready to give your life for your wife. You haven't told me what that looks like. I didn't ask what you hope the attacker might do. I asked what would YOU do?

Not gonna happen. Your standing there watching is not going to stop him. That's wishful thinking. She would suffer a brutal death and then he will turn it on you because you just stood there. Granted ... leaving this world to enter eternity with Christ isn't a bad exchange. But God does require...

I agree. I believe it is a mandate from God. We shouldn't hand over our children to the state to be trained up in all sorts of "ways" they should not go when God says ....train up a child in the way he (or she) SHOULD go ...because what they are trained up in will remain with them when they are old.
