i am an 'active' jw but i do not agree with most of the doctrines inc blood, baptism, the memorial etc etc.i took the emblems at the memorial because i think we all should recognise and accept jesus' command to remember him.

not for one minute do i think this is only for the so called anointed.

i know it is full of man made error and that my fellow brothers and sisters are in a state of mindless, spiritual unawareness.

Damascus:
I don't do much ministry but when I do I just use the bible and no publications.

You're on your way out which is where you should be.

What does the rise of Donald Trump tell us about the USA?

by fulltimestudent in

i thank one of my former lecturers for drawing my attention to this overview.. after some 100 years, living out its "manifest destiny" dream, as the hegemon of the world, what has this 'dream' done to/for the usa?

the approaching presidential election provides an opportunity to examine this question.. and what of all the appendage organisations (like the wts) that rode across the world on the hegemon's coattails?.

the answer may be here: http://www.vox.com/2016/3/1/11127424/trump-authoritarianism.

The two elders threaten my sister again

by opusdei1972 in

as i reported here in this forum, some time ago, my sister was constantly harried by two elders so as to be submitted to a judiciary committee for apostasy.

these two elders were constantly hounding her in the street when she walks to go to her job.

so she had to send them a notary letter in which she wrote that she would attend the judiciary committee only with her attorney.

opusdei1972:
There is a local Radio where one can report publicly any grievance.

That's a good idea but if she doesn't want to get df'd she should be careful what she say on the air.

On the other hand if she doesn't care she could bring up the Australian Commission's investigation. They might threaten to sue her though.

Hitler promised the Germans an empire that would last a thousand years.

Mussolini promised the Italians that they would become a second Roman Empire.

The Donald promises Americans greatness again.

Round and round we go; where we'll stop nobody knows.

JW to be banned in Russia soon?

by I am a Bible Student in

i saw this on jw.org today:.

Village Idiot

I for one do not believe in the banning of any religion no matter how bad it is. It's the slippery slope situation where anyone who is not in favor with the State gets banned.

I have told to my sister that she must report to the police that these two elders are stalking her.

If she goes to the police they will simply give her a restraining order document to fill out at home and take it to a judge. That could prevent the elders from coming within 100 yards of her.

I think those elders are taking the case of your sister personally and want to give her the inquisition style treatment that they can't have elsewhere but in the KH.
