Are first world countries to blame for the bulk of third world squalor?
by tootired2care in

throughout several past threads various posters have emphatically made the point that countries like great britian, united states, france etc.

basically countries where white people exist, are to blame for the poverty in many other third world nations.

some have even went so far as to suggest that the first world is to blame for all third world conditions.. i often see excuses such as these for why a country refuses to provide clean water, some food and basic sanitation for its people:.

corrupt corporations corupt governments and lack of education and freedom is what makes a country disfunctional.

we have many countries with rich soil, natural resources that would sustain the population had they been allowed to use thier own

inteligence and land, but its taken from them by greedy controlling forces.

the US is not above falling into the condition of a poverty stricken country. the infrastructure here is crumbling, one fire in a power plant is all it would take to leave millions without electricity, gas lines exploding from decay, flooding due to poor drainage and faulty dams, bridges not maintained, and

a nation of people with student debt and no employment.

where is the silver lining?

this was on the news this morning.

when you buy gas air is part .

of the service, it should be free.

here in pa it depends on the station, and that fix a flat stuff makes a huge mess in the tire, we would get charged extra for the time it would take to clean it all out of the tire.

Spiritually strong people don't care what others think of them.

jesus is a good example of this.

I consider myself spiritually strong, which is why i researched what i believed to be misleading info.

and now here I am, knowing once again, I was right. never fear research info. truth can be tested.

I do not care what people think of my opinions and how i choose to view things or live my life, however

i am considerate in the 'nth' degree. unless Im challenged of course.

who are those who have no hope?

and why.. .

but you know, it doesnt say what they are being saved FROM. and how they will be damed. maybe it was just being saved from the coming tribulation of the destruction of jerusalem.

in revelation, apparetnly people who did not accept jesus would be thrown outside with the dogs, but they would be still alive. outside the nation of God apparently. but still not dead.

" Do not ask permission, just play the video--" service meeting instructions.
by prologos in

2. friends
this statement startled me out of the pleasant mental absence during this week's "service" meeting.. pushing the org.

explanation: "the listener has time to interrupt, if they want--" .

together with an incredible boring "study" of an hand held device, or it's stored content, i will be a totally new crop of orgies at the halls,.
sowhatnow

wow, If my mother brings this up, Im going to ask her how that is not the most irritating invasive thing ever,

and then ill procede to get my laptop and without permission start to play one of the many videos on you tube exposing the watchtwers roots

OR better yet, get her revelation and live forever books out and show her all the subliminal images that i circled.....

yea sorry,, so then according to jw logic, all people who are 'unbaptised' will have no hope. but id doesnt say anything about being baptised there.

isnt that contradictory? all we have to do is believe according to Christ.

[and what about alll those people in the rest of the world? who never knew anything of a bible or God. they have no hope]

this must be refering to that day becasue vs 15 strongly tells us that it was only for thier time period.

hmm, if jesus is mediator only for the 144,000, then why arent they 'ruling' over the flock?

or better yet, where does it say that in the bible?

sadly in that organization, the 144,000 have no honor anymore
