Look at the older maps pre occupation and one of the rivers is still called by the same name in Genesis. I forget which one. I read a fascinating account 20 years ago.

Rules for congregation changes
by UFCFan infirst of all, this post i made on another thread sums up why i want to change congregations so bad.. "theres the other teenagers at the kingdom hall but it's not like i can tell them anything about how i really feel because they're all brainwashed and they'll tell the elders if i tell them something questionable.
there's a girl i like that goes to my hall but i know i'll never be able to be with her because by the time i'm old enough to date by the watchtower's standards, i'll have moved away.. the worst thing is i can't even fake everything well enough to fit in with the other teens at the hall.
i'm always the outcast and if i talk sometimes the so called 'friends' will straight ignore me, even the ones that say they're my best friends.

Make yourself some REAL friends not the "cool " fakes in your congo. That way when you do manage to escape you will not be stuck alone and starting out learning how to be normal socially.

"Our Publications have said" in (made up QFR)
by hamsterbait inthe gibbering buddies always say this when back pedalling or reversing a teaching.
why won' t they admit that they said it.
they also use " some have said/thought" as if distancing themselves from the crap, it makes them less responsible.. it is like aaron's golden calf it just "came on out " of the fire all by itself!.

Wifibandit:
Thank you for pointing out that the biggest most genocidal killer in history is going to bring war to an end by slaughtering more humans, mostly children under 10, than in all the wars of the last 6 000 years. I just go warm and fuzzy thinking about this.

The Germans started a major european war in the 1870s, and were the first to deploy the Krups Gun against civilian populations many miles behind the lines.. They started BOTh world wars and were the first to use airships for ariel bombing of towns. They had to be stopped. Hitler saw the pacifism and appeasement of the European powers as weakness, and so invaded Poland.
Would it have been any good to say "war is bad and we refuse to fight and kill like the Nazis." Benjamin Britten the composer actually argued that Britain should let the Germans invade, then "set them a good example." !!!!!
Why didnt the US show Japan a good example after Pearl Harbor? As was pointed out, when the US first approached Japan with less punitive conditions of surrender, it was rejected as the Japanese saw this, not as compromise, but weakness, so they refused.
Had America not joined the war, Europe would have fallen under nazi control. They were planning a nuclear bomb themselves, and would have used it. The Germans were already trying to design three stage missiles that could nuke America. (a concept suggested in "Woman on the Moon" 1923)
When your enemy despises your very existence no amount of sweet smiles and concessions will save you.
Sometimes there is NO CHOICE but to fight back with deadly force, unpleasant thought.
And can we have less of the "conspiracy" ideas about the US bandied about by the likes of Noam Chomsky and Gore Vidal. (convincing though they sound)
Setting good examples and special treatment to terrorists in our midst is also seen as weakness, and will sadly lead to even more violence and the need to fight for our survival in the future.

Isn't it comforting to know that we in the 21st century have the values that are Good and True, and the values of everybody else that has ever lived are inferior to ours.
Bombing civilian populations was the military strategy right up until the end of the Cold War. That is the fact like it or not.
Marrying off your 12 years old daughter was normal diplomatic policy in the many centuries before the word "abuse " was even used in this connection. it is a fact like it or not.
To judge previous generations according to our standards does not mean our moral compass is any better than theirs. What if earlier ages had the chance to judge us according to their values?? More importantly, what will future generations think of how we handled world events and the "civilisation" they will inherit from us?

I just look at what the Japanese did in Manchuria Burma and their other occupied territories.
How they treated women and child prisoners. Their emperor worship that made surrender inconceivable. How many soldiers lives would have been lost fighting their way across Japan? Truman wd not put any more lives on the line by pitying a pitiless vicious imperialistic aggressor.
How in 1937 they came to Washington DC and cooed about wanting peaceful relations with the US as they pranted chelly tlees as symbahl of peace. Then they pulled off the Pearl Harbour Heist.
Why should Truman say "we're so sorry for letting you be the aggressor instead of us. Can we negotiate a peace that makes you happy after all the suffering you started?"
So: NO
We in the west now lack any stomach to really stand up for ourselves. There is too much self effacement and giving in an inch at a time to anybody who is offended by us. We are perceived as weak and vacillating ( as Japan did in the 30s ) A big fight is in the making, and the use of lethal force will be necessary to survive - or just make the other guy think twice. We lack the stomach for it, and will probably apologise for being here in the first place.
Even if America had not dropped the Bomb, there are plenty of enemies of democracy who view our lives as of no value and would drop as many nukes on us as they can without a qualm.

Comrade 2: I too am moved to increase my production on the communal farm.
Camrade 1: Let us work together building the Socialist Republic so our children can be more productive too.
