in behalf of the horrific events of saturday night, i just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that islam is a religion of peace.
it doesn’t matter that the quran explicitly says that homosexuals should be stoned to death (7:84) - it’s still a religion of peace.
and it doesn’t matter that the scriptures say that all gay men should be killed (sunan 1:152) - islam doesn’t in anyway condone violence.. it doesn’t matter that every mainstream imam calls homosexuality a sin "worse the adultery" - it’s not a religion of bigotry.. it doesn’t matter that 61% of muslims in the uk think gay acts should be made illegal - islam has nothing against the gay community.. it doesn’t matter that countries with sharia law actively persecute the lgbt community - islam is all about peace and love.
The gay community and Obama have actually made America even more of a target for terrorist attacks.
In a radical Muslims sick mind he feels even more justfied in killing the American infidels, because to him america is totally corrupt because of the rights gays have in this country and Obama's gay marriage law.
But you'll never hear that talked about in the news.
the video is worth watching too.. http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/80454665/grieving-woman-turns-the-tables-by-doorknocking-jehovahs-witness.
I buy their story that it was a coincidence - if the JW knew of the death, she would've just lead with that.
Why would they intentionally do this 3 months after the death?
Could be a coincidence, but when people get called out for bad behavior the lying starts, oops I mean the theocratic warfare starts.
When my brother in law died JW's came to the house about a month later.
They told us they seen there was a death in the family and had a related tract they wanted to give me.
Waiting 3 months could be done to allow people to get their composure back?
JW's absolutely check the obits to gain vulnerable prospects for possible cult recruits.
the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.
it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?
the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.
What about men who grow nose, ear and back hair?
Would this be distracting from the kingdom message?
another nauseating text which proves conclusively that jw's do not practise what they preach!.
monday, may 9. who are you to be judging your neighbor?—jas.
4:12.. humility restrains us from overstepping our authority.
Don't forget to turn in your field service report.
We need that to be able to judge you on how spiritual you are. HA
saw this while browsing through the good news brochure:.
is it any wonder people aren't listening to jws anymore?
what an absolutely delusional scene!
What's he doing with the toy sailboat in the pic with the group of people.
Describing how he died?
At least the bros don't have to wear ties in the new system.
30 years is a long time in the life of a human yet little is written about this time frame,l wonder why?
well on this side of the planet, the southern hemisphere/ new zealand, the 2016 memorial service in local kingdom halls will be over for another year.
another great big anticlimax.
some family and relatives will have gone - but unless i ask my sister, i generally have no idea about attendance and partaker numbers.
it's just so weird to me.
for a group that is against idolatry so much and yet each person has to "touch" the bread and wine.. one lady was standing and holding a baby.
she called the server over just so she could put her thumb on the bread and wine.. did jesus ever clarify what he wanted them to do in remembrance of him?
I agree. I asked my wife why don't they just ask any anointed to come up and have some instead of this passing the shit around nonsense
That is exactly what Christendom does, JW's strive to look different from main stream Christianity.
My answer to invitations to the memorial has been " I'm not one of the 144,000".
It's amazing how something so simple can get so twisted up by a religion.
When He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take this bread and eat it. This is My body which is broken for you. Do this to remember Me.”
by no means is this a heartwarming "experience" illustrating how an ex-jw skillfully "reached the heart" of a current jw, moving them to re-examine their belief system.
that won't be my take on my half hour visit with an elder's wife last sunday.
no one scored points here as is almost always the case in these interactions.. we live at the extreme southern tip of texas, on the u.s.-mexico border in a city of about 200,000. twenty years ago there were 20 spanish language congregations, 2 english.
If you go to the Lord’s Evening Meal make sure you eat beforehand !
Why can't they just call it the Lord's supper like everyone else
...... oh yeah almost forgot, gotta be different, either way it's a misnomer.

they must really be having issues finding brothers to slave for the org..
Wow the elders are now doing cool handshakes! !
That's it I'm going back to da meeeetings !!!!
