Why has Jehovah included certain examples in the Bible? 3 One of the ways in which Jehovah warns us about pride and greed is by encouraging us to learn from real-life experiences. Note in the examples we will consider that Satan was able to ensnare even mature servants of Jehovah. Does this mean that we are doomed to fail? Not at all. Jehovah included these examples in the Bible as “a warning to us.” (1 Cor. 10:11) He knows that we can learn from warning examples and thus avoid or escape from the Devil’s snares. |

He knows that if we allow improper pride to dominate us, we will become like him and lose out on gaining everlasting life. (Prov. 16:18) Accordingly, the apostle Paul warned that a person might “get puffed up with pride and fall into the judgment passed on the Devil.” (1 Tim. 3:6, 7) That could happen to any one of us, whether we are new in the truth or we have been serving Jehovah for many years. |

As indicated at Ecclesiastes 7:16, 20, how might a person show pride? 5 Pride is a form of selfishness. Satan tries to get us to be selfish, to focus more on ourselves than on Jehovah, especially when we face a challenge. For example, have you been falsely accused? Or have you been treated unjustly? Satan would love to see you blame Jehovah or your brothers. And the Devil wants you to think that the only remedy is to do things your own way rather than to follow the guidance Jehovah gives you in his Word.—Read Ecclesiastes 7:16, 20. |

What can you learn from the experience of a sister in the Netherlands? 6 Consider the experience of a sister in the Netherlands who became irritated by the imperfections of others. She decided that she could not tolerate the situation anymore. “I felt very lonely and unable to change my feelings,” she says. “I told my husband that we had to move to a different congregation.” Then she watched the... That program gave some suggestions on how to deal with the imperfections of others. The sister relates: “I saw that I had to look honestly and humbly at my own mistakes rather than try to change the brothers and sisters in the congregation. The program helped me to focus on Jehovah and his sovereignty.” Do you see the point? When you face a trial, stay focused on Jehovah. Beg him to help you look at others from his perspective. Your heavenly Father sees their mistakes; yet, he is willing to forgive them. He wants you to do the same.—1 John 4:20. Last Edited by DGN on 08/01/2021 09:14 PM |

What happened to King Uzziah? 7 Pride led King Uzziah of Judah to resist counsel and to act presumptuously. Uzziah was a very capable man. He was successful in military campaigns, in construction projects, and in agricultural developments. “The true God made him prosper.” (2 Chron. 26:3-7, 10) “However, as soon as he was strong, his heart became haughty to his own ruin,” the Bible says. Jehovah had earlier commanded that only the priests were allowed to offer incense at the temple. But King Uzziah presumptuously went into the temple to offer incense. Jehovah was not pleased and struck that proud man with leprosy. Uzziah remained a leper for the rest of his life.—2 Chron. 26:16-21. |

In line with 1 Corinthians 4:6, 7, how can we avoid becoming proud? 8 Could pride lead us into a snare like the one that caught Uzziah? Consider the example of José. He was a very successful businessman who served as a respected congregation elder. He gave talks at assemblies and conventions, and circuit overseers consulted him for advice. “But I trusted in my own ability and in my experience,” he admits. “I had pushed Jehovah away. I thought that I was strong, so I didn’t listen to Jehovah’s warnings and counsel.” José committed a serious sin and was disfellowshipped. Several years ago, he was reinstated. He now says: “Jehovah has taught me that the important thing is, not having a title, but doing what he asks of us.” Let us remember that any talents we have and any privileges we receive in the congregation are from Jehovah. (Read 1 Corinthians 4:6, 7.) If we are proud, Jehovah will not use us. |

See paragraph 9 9. What did greed cause both Satan and Eve to do? 9 When we think of greed, Satan the Devil likely comes to mind. As one of Jehovah’s angels, Satan must have had many fine privileges. But he wanted more. He wanted the worship that only Jehovah rightly deserves. Satan wants us to become like him, so he tries to make us feel discontented with what we have. That sort of effort started when he approached Eve. Jehovah had lovingly provided Eve and her husband with an abundance of satisfying food to eat—“from every tree of the garden” except one. (Gen. 2:16) Still, Satan deceived Eve into thinking that she needed to eat from the one tree that was forbidden. Eve failed to appreciate what she had; she wanted more. We know what that led to. Eve gave in to sin and eventually died.—Gen. 3:6, 19. |

David gratefully acknowledged that God’s gifts were “too numerous to recount!” (Ps. 40:5) But at one point, David forgot what Jehovah had given him. He was no longer content; he wanted more. Although David had several wives, he let an improper desire for another man’s wife develop in his heart. The woman was Bath-sheba, and her husband was Uriah the Hittite. David selfishly had sexual relations with Bath-sheba, and she became pregnant. As if the adultery were not bad enough, David arranged for Uriah to be killed! (2 Sam. 11:2-15) What was David thinking? Did he imagine that Jehovah could not see? That once faithful servant of Jehovah gave in to selfish greed and paid dearly for it. Happily, though, in time David admitted his error and repented. How thankful he was to have Jehovah’s favor again!—2 Sam. 12:7-13. |

You have nothing to worry about op unless your a completely evil pos. The bidens, clintons, murderers, serial killers etc all automatically go into a hellish universe when their souls reach a certain level of negativity. Say 51% negative... He can also acquire souls through contracts. Those contracts can be done through negative action or ritual intent, etc and usually, from what he showed me, revolved around him helping the person gain material possessions. I.e celebrity, musicians etc. Thats an automatic your souls fucked and under his domain when you die. But like I said, you can end up in a lot of different places when you die depending on your souls negative or positive vibration. Although what he showed me did not only detail the above, his universe or hell is nothing like the bible says. Its not lake of fires and other bull shit written about. His universe, and the inhabited planets within it, were like prisons. Think of the worst prisons and the inmates who are locked in them. Those inmates run things in his universe. Each planet in his universe can be a minimum security prison or maximum being the worse. I saw a max security prison planet in satans universe through a portal he opened and let me peer into, it looked like the modern movie judge dredd but with no police. It was the ma ma clan running the show.. From what I was experiencing, I understood the earth was like a nursery for souls. When these souls reach a certain level of consciousness and polarity, they go on to something else. Whether good, bad, or neutral. We all end up exactly where we are intended to go. These lives here are short and our memories are constantly wiped out between lives. Its the design of this that allows us to constantly ebb and flow from one polarity spectrum to the other i.e positive or negative. So, it could take a soul over a million lives to hit a negative polarity of 50% or likewise, 50% positive. At that point, you leave the nursery and go to your destination of a hellish place or not. |
