Freewill is when man sees what benefits him and grab it with all his strength {Matthew 13:45-46} where you are getting it wrong is your in ability to see the benefits of faith {Hebrew 11:1} many of you thinks that a faithful person is suffering because there are things faithless people will do that faithful people won't do but the truth is faithful people see the benefits of being a friend of God. We are not Deeperlife or RCCG or MFM or Chosen Churchgoers who think they must suffer in this world to enjoy in heaven rather we are enjoying the best of our life now despite all the troubles Satan is giving Mankind. That's what is paining Satan, he knew JWs are having good times despite all the troubles in the world.
So i chose happiness because i can perceive it and i'm 100% sure that if you're also able to grasp it you will do the same! Isaiah 1:18, 48:17-18



They are not wrong in anyway!
When John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth walked this earth the world was better than this regarding the tension in people's hearts. Anxiety is not these rooted in the minds of the majority. It's unwise people that are not viewing matters from the right sense. To illustrate when the plantain sprouts on it's stem we can all see it but if left unattended to gradually it will routine on it's stem!
That's what we're saying here. Each second the world is fast approaching it's end so while Satan is blurring the senses of many with Scientific discoveries wise people can see that instead of things getting better it's getting worse by the day!
So they got nothing wrong my friend it's unwise people that are thinking they got things wrong.
As for those leaving the organization of JWs that's the beauty of truth because even when Jesus was here performing the greatest miracles mankind ever seen many of his followers left him because they thought he was wrong! John 6:61-66
So if a perfect teacher like Jesus can't keep unwise people don't think his imperfect followers can keep them!

I don't know why you can't see that your thoughts and therefore your decisions and choices are based ENTIRELY on how your brain works, your genes, where you were born, the environment you were raised in, etc. NONE of which you chose. If any of those things were changed your choices would change. So your choices were pre-determined by things you never chose. So where's the free will?
----------------------
I told you to read what ex-JW are saying, never said anything about their leaving.
As for the rest, Christ never gave a world ending based and a specific year. See below

They are not because they don't know the privilege of FREEWILL. I may not be valued in Nigeria amongst my own race because i chose to be different but throughout the world i have families "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" Matthew 10:29-31




No Sir they following what John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth laid down.
This two persons said in the first century (2000 years ago) "the kingdom of heaven is at hand" Matthew 3:2; 4:17

Please why do you think most Jews back then rejected Jesus?

Well they were expecting the Kingdom to come in their own time after all both John and Jesus emphasized saying "it is near" that's why majority condemned Jesus.

But what about Jesus' disciples?
Despite having the same wrong expectations {Act 1:6-7} they remained faithful and loyal until their last breathe {Revelations 22:20} so we will continue to pronounce it until God's Kingdom come, let unbelievers continue to doubt his coming we are sure he will certainly come! Habakkuk 2:3 compare to 2Peter 3:3-4

You still haven't understood u never chose the type of person you are. If you were the type of person who would reject JW, u would have rejected it. Where's the free will.
------------------
If JW were wrong about end of world so much don't you think they'd also be wrong about other things.
BTW read testimonies of people who left JW - they are all over the web

Things dey happen sha
Please fam, am heartbroken, my girl caught me with another girl, I begged, she forgave me, only for her to just call and tell me we can only be friends, to sum the story up, I asked to see her and she ended up insulting me but I never said a word back, my problem now is,
Am heartbroken and I don't know what to do, is it a crime to get her a helper?

Here are 6 Ways to Overcome Heartbreak:

1. Feel the feelings and don't force yourself to "just get over it."

Getting over a broken heart can take a lot of energy, work, and time. Don't try to force yourself or listen to anyone who says "just get over it". You might think you're over it, then have a dream about this person and get flushed with feeling all over again. It can take a long time, and that's okay, so be very gentle with yourself. It helps to talk to someone about it like a trusted friend or coach for guidance moving through the feelings.

Most people are very afraid of negative feelings and will do anything to avoid them. Remember that feelings can't hurt you. They are simply an energy that needs to move through you and move on.

Let yourself cry. Remember that you're not crying for the other person, you're crying for yourself. To release the grief of the future that you saw with this person. It only existed in your mind, in the potential you could see, but it was there nonetheless.

2. Get the energy out.

This is especially needed if you're feeling a lot of anger. Anger, sadness, anxiety, grief, depression, are all energies that want to be released from your body.

One of the best ways to get the energy out is to get moving. Go for a run while blasting your favorite music through your headphones. Punch a punching bag (seriously, kickboxing class helped me get through A LOT of emotions). Get your sweat on in some way, and do it consistently.

3. Forgive.

Forgiveness is not about the other person or letting them off the hook. Forgiveness is for YOU. In fact, the definition of forgiveness is to stop feeling anger or blame at someone who has done something wrong.

Most of the time if a relationship didn't work out, it simply wasn't a good fit. If we're coming from a place of full self-esteem, we would be able to see that and move on. But often in a relationship we feel a "spark" with someone for reasons that we cannot possibly understand. They come from deep seated beliefs as a child, and that person triggered a hurt or pain inside of you.

Don't allow this hurt and anger to become your story while they're out there moving on. By forgiving, you break the chains that are binding you and allow yourself to live a better life with the person you are meant to be with. Write a letter of forgiveness, say a prayer, or set the intention to forgive.

4. Be honest with yourself.

Be honest with yourself if you're truly wanting to get over a broken heart or if you're harboring secret hopes that the two of you will get back together. While this is not wrong in any way (many of us feel it!), if the relationship is over, it will definitely impede your progress of moving on.

It helps when you can remember not to see the relationship through rose colored glasses. It's so tempting to look back on a relationship and only see it for the potential you believe it had. We tend to remember the part where we were falling in love, when they were at their best selves, when we were at our best self, when we had ridiculous sex or that surprise dinner that was everything.

But there is a reason why you broke up. Be honest with yourself and the relationship for what it was, not just what you remember it as being.

5. Take back your personal power.

Get back to your own personal power as soon as you can. You may not be able to control what your ex does, but you can control your own thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

You can choose to see this relationship for the gift that it was. It was not just there to cause pain. It was there to help you evolve through this journey of life, learn to love, and learn to let go.

Life is made up of a collection of moments, people, and relationships that are not ours to keep. The pain we encounter comes from the illusion that some moments can be held onto. Clinging to people and experiences that never belonged to us in the first place is what causes us to miss the beauty of our life in this moment. Love and let go...love and let go...is the single most important thing we are meant to learn in this life.

6. Live an outstanding life.

Get back to your center. Right now get out a piece of paper and write down 10 nurturing things you can do to help you get back to your strong grounded self. Call a friend, set up a coaching session, take a yoga class, buy flowers for yourself, take a bath, go for a long walk while listening to your favorite playlist, clean out your emails, declutter your closet and donate what you no longer need, go to the bookstore and buy Getting the Love You Want, He's Just Not That Into You, The Breakup Bible to start empowering yourself.

Don't allow this breakup to continue hurting you by hardening your heart and closing off to new love. Get out there. Meet with friends. Live. Laugh. Love. Be happy.

The secret to getting over a breakup lies within you. If you find yourself continuing down the same path with the same type of guys, then commit to uncovering and healing your patterns.

Keep faith that you will find amazing soul level love. You deserve it.

Krismas:
U are extremely mistaken. Certain things are predestined for u and I. e.g our parents, country of birth, color, sex etc. But u see, on earth, man has the ability to override any predestination. U can get new parents for urself, u can change ur country, ur sex! Mitchell Obama was born a man! He is now a WOMAN birthed 3kids, so too is Serena Williams and the list is endless. No predestination is stronger than the free will of man on the earth. U have to take responsibility. Dats all

And how is it your doing that you are the type of person who can or can't take responsibility??

MaxInDHouse:
Now i'm totally different from the people born, bread and brought up where i was born all because i CHOOSE to become one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, that's what freewill means Sir!


Splitting is exactly what Jesus foretold will be part of the sign we will see to be sure that he's around doing some separation work in our time:
He presented another illustration to them, saying: “The Kingdom of the heavens may be likened to a man who sowed fine seed in his field. While men were sleeping, his enemy came and oversowed weeds in among the wheat and left. When the stalk sprouted and produced fruit, then the weeds also appeared. So the slaves of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow fine seed in your field? How, then, does it have weeds?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy, a man, did this.’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go out and collect them?’  He said, ‘No, for fear that while collecting the weeds, you uproot the wheat with them.  Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest season, I will tell the reapers: First collect the weeds and bind them in bundles to burn them up; then gather the wheat into my storehouse.’”

The splitting simply means Jesus and his angels are removing the weeds from the fine seeds, do you notice that the red coloured said bind them in bundles?
Well that's the significance of various groups that sprang out of the Bible students after the death of Charles Taze Russell, the spirits binded them in bundles but kept just one group in his store house (the one and only that's preaching zealously and teaching industriously throughout the earth) as if a mighty spirit being is working with them! Matthew 28:20

And how is it your doing that u r the type of person who would choose JW while others are not??

The other point is that Russell and JW have been giving specific years for end of world since 1800's and have all been wrong
