  Would you be OK with someone removing "Jesus'" name from the New Testament?

  by Wonderment in

  would it be all-right with you if a translator removes "jesus'" name completely from the new testament and replaces it with a substitute, like "master" throughout?.

  i was looking at the world health org.

  report and it shows the us ranks 37th in the world (tied with albania) for combined male/female life expectancy.

  the top 5 were japan, switzerland, singapore, israel and spain, all around 83 years.

  Canadians and Europeans, what do you think of your national health care ?

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have been in a battle over health care for so long here in the us regarding public, private, gov't subsidized, obama care, medicare for all, and just about every permutation of the above.. we hear the horror stories here that people wait 20 years for a check-up (ok, bit of an exaggeration), but you get the point.

  one side tells us that canadians flock across the border when they are sick and need to see a doctor.

  the other side says that is simply not the case.. so tell us, if you live under one of the government systems would you replace it?

  what completely pisses me off--is "sports" related injuries.

  why should people who choose to spend their leisure time running, kicking or hurling various sized and shaped projectiles around, riding bikes down steep hillsides and other equally pointless activities expect to get free medical attention when they injure themselves ?

  Generally Speaking Do You Support The Police?

  i know bad cops exist in many cities.

  i know some cops who aren’t “bad” but do have an attitude.

  however, i prefer to have law and order as opposed to chaos.

  today i walked between a cart--and the 2 attendants. one was a guy in his 50's ( i would think ) the other a lad in his teens. the older guy was more interested in his companion than any passer by. i think the watchtower bunch must see this all the time.

  No Need To Preach In Every Country Anymore

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  speaking to a pimo from my hometown yesterday.

  he told me that in the watchtower study (10 nov 2019) regarding “the great tribulation” the elder on the platform said that there’s no need for jws to preach in every country in order to fulfil the prophecy, and therefore the org has already fulfilled that prophecy.

  and that there’s nothing else left to wait for now but for “the great tribulation” to come.. gasps of delight came from the audience.. has anyone else heard this?

  no need to worry about the big A starting anytime soon. the nations have to turn on babylon the great first...and the last of the 144000 need to die. so theres the perfect cop out for the watchtower--those 2 events are entirely out of their hands. brilliant.

  in the second picture--the guy rear left--in the grey jacket with gaudy tie---looks like the police chief in "police academy" when he was given a BJ.

  If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.

  and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.

  looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .

  so--to re cap---world goverments will turn on all religions before armageddon, and

  the great tribulation will not start untill all the 144,000 are in heaven.

  have got that right ?

  so not anytime soon then.
