  Pictures in the Watchtower

  after sitting through last sunday's watchtower i got so sick of seeing the bobbing/nodding heads when talking about the pictures.

  they act like god himself took the picture.

  there must have been 10 comments about the group in service and the one brother was looking at his phone with a smile, which is a dead give away that he was reading something interesting.. what got me was how the older brother in the posed picture had a bible in his hand had a stern look on his face looking at the young brother.

  The suit was filed in New York’s Southern District in June against International Nickel and 10 other companies that Watchtower says are affiliated with the mining company. Some of the companies named in the lawsuit are Inco Alloys International, Inc., Huntington Alloys Corporation, Special Metals Corporation, Precision Castparts and Inco United States.

  With all the investments of the Watchtower, wouldn't it be something if they somehow ended up suing themselves.

  Warwick Supervisor Mike Sweeton said the site has been cleaned as part of the approval process. Watchtower is building offices, apartments to house 1,000 adults, a cafeteria, a vehicle-maintenance building, an infirmary and a parking garage at the site.

  Maybe they should be building a larger infirmary. One that can care for the numerous cases of cancer caused by PCB's.

  Bethel should be considered bad

  by dbq407 in

  2. beliefs

  from what i was told, we don't celebrate birthdays because the only two times it is mentioned in the bible, bad things happened.

  so if the wt wants to set standards by the "two bad things" rule, then why do they use the name bethel?

  i've read two instances in the bible where bad things happened there.

  " Dogs are mentioned 27 times in the Bible..."

  Does the Bible ever mention CATS? If not, WHY NOT? Mmmmm?

  Makes you think.

  The dog does look worried. However he may have been thinking, " Please leave me at the SPCA and don't take me to some rat hole, god forsaken country."

  Should JWs perform immigration screening for jihadiis ?

  by gone for good in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witlesses worship and serve the same desert god as do all the worlds jihadists.

  both these groups experience the same giddy delight contemplating the worldwide annihilation of infidels .

  jihadists and jw's share the same wet dream of theocracy - the idea that public governance is best left to an invisible genocidal, misogynistic homophobic, sadistic, megalomaniacal bully...and his (male) earthly imitators.. jw's and jihadiis both covet their delusion of imagining themselves as the sole survivors of a global bloodbath - think of the stupendous irony there!.

  Trump would want to kick both of them out.

  How about jihadiis placed at street corners. They could be used to identify JW's calling door-to-door. Supplied with a whistle they could blow a warning and everyone on the street could hide behind curtains and sofas. When they have passed by the block the jihadiis at the other end of the street could blow a whistle indicating 'all clear'.

  Do you know any JW who has ever done this?

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jesus had much to say about the kind of giving his followers should practice.

  for example, the following:matt 6:3 '...but when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing...'.

  matt 10:8 '... freely you have received; freely give...'.

  For example, the following:
  Matt 6:3 '...But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing...'

  Matt 10:8 '... Freely you have received; freely give...'
  

  However, he gave more specific instructions in Luke 14: 12-14.
  

  Luke 14:12 ... “When you spread a dinner or an evening meal, do not call your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors. Otherwise, they might also invite you in return, and it would become a repayment to you. 13 But when you spread a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;+ 14 and you will be happy, because they have nothing with which to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection+ of the righteous ones.”

  Do you know of any time any JW's have done this or been encouraged to do this? Ever?
