    LOL, yeah because as we all know religion is just a matter of where you are born.

    *** g01 6/8 p. 27 Are All Religions Different Roads Leading to God? ***

    For many, religion is simply a matter of when and where they were born. However, should you leave your choice of religion to chance or let others make this decision for you?

    Similarly, salvation from Armageddon is also left to chance. Those people living in countries "under ban" simply got born in the wrong part of the world where there is no access to the "Kingdom message". Too bad for them. Lucky for us in the privileged Western world to be born in the right place so that we could receive spiritual food (tm) from God's powerful organization. And btw, why aren't JWs zealously preaching in countries "under ban"? Isn't that what they heroically did under Hitler's nose? The JWs in Germany didn't let Hitler's persecution stop them. Why aren't they imitating the example of these faithful brothers today? Rather than let many millions from these countries die without salvation, why aren't they doubling their efforts to zealously preach in banned countries as they did in Nazi Germany? Surely they should hold themselves to the same high ideal that those who died in the concentration camps held themselves to?

    (All these questions are of course purely rhetorical)

    Yup! Leolaia. I actually subscribed to all of this as my belief system. I'm glad I'm awake now. Thanks for playing your part in my escape.

    By the way did he kill those naughty male angels who unmaterialized.

    bob,

    The materialized angels were put into ''the abyss'', to be held there until the ''day of destruction''.

    Speaking of those "bad angels", I can't wait 'till next week when we get to study all about the other make-believe Boogey Men, err. Boogey Women err Boogey Its?, THE DEMONS!!!!

    The "demons" have been very good to me lately. Or maybe I'm just benefitting from a series of good decisions. At any rate, the "angels" must be pissed at me, cause I don't go out in field service with them anymore.

    OHH this is so rich . If you even tell personal experiences to anybody in your congregation about super natural stuff they will immediately demonize you , where do they get off on being some sort of authority regarding angelic intervention? Why do they even bother with these type articles ? They just encourage superstition since now everytime something the least bit odd happens it will be attributed to angelic intervention . I thought they claimed the WTBTS was the angel in midheaven somewhere .
