  Are Christians to be Witnesses of Jesus or Jehovah?

  by blondie in

  i was doing research on another topic and this question came to mind.

  notice how the wts dances around the question below and then my comments about that and whether historically did the wts see isaiah as applying to all jws or only anointed members, spiritual israel (galatians 6:16)?.

  are christians to be witnesses of jesus or jehovah?.

  three christian churches and three luxury hotels have been attacked in sri lanka this morning resulting in more than 130 deaths.. buddhism is the state religion in sri lanka accounting for 70% of the population, hindus make up 12% with islam and christianity comprising 9% and 7% respectively.

  no group has yet claimed responsibility.

  a civil war between government forces and separatist tamil tigers ended in 2009. the war lasted 26 years and cost at least 70,000 lives.

  I just read 280 killed and over 500 injured and yes it was the religion of peace.

  There is a strange attitude by western governments. When muslims are attacked it is "PROTECT THE MUSLIMS' When muslims attack others it is "PROTECT THE MUSLIMS " Strange

  Should illegal immigrants be sent “Only” to Sanctuary Cities?

  by I believe in overlapping in

  pro-illegal immigration advocates are fighting president trump’s efforts to keep illegal immigrants out of the united states.

  trump wants immigrants to enter the usa legally and in a controlled manner so as not to tax the local economies of their resources that will burden the local law abiding citizens.

  “pro illegal immigrant’s advocates insist that illegal immigrants are overwhelmingly good people fleeing bad circumstances in poverty-stricken, gang-ridden or war-torn countries.

  climate change ... who doesn't believe it?

  crazy fools and science deniers ... right?.

  it seems like it's become the new religion, the new orthodoxy, that must be accepted and believed as gospel and preached to all.. is it ok to be skeptical?.

  When the politicians were deciding where to build the capital of Australia there were two conditions 1 The capital had to be built a distance from the ocean so as to be out of range of naval bombardment. 2 Anglo Saxons couldn't function in warmer areas and so the capital had to be a cold area in winter. One of the cold winter areas called Dalgetty that was not accepted was visited by a group of politicians it was so cold they crowded around a fire to get warmth. One politicians leg caught alight and started to burn in the fire. It happened to be a wooden leg. In the end Canberra was selected also a cold area .

  I'm a skeptic on global warming and all the lies that goes with it. I would suggest that the earth is cooling because of the lack of sunspot activity and at the same time the earth is getting a dose of CO2 from fossil fuel . One may be cancelling out the other but what happens when the low activity of the sun ends?

  Is social media to blame?

  by joey jojo in

  i haven't seen any posts regarding the atrocity in christchurch and i just wanted to ask a question about social media's role.

  is it fair to blame social media giants for giving the offender a platform for his crime?

  what are the boundaries that they are expected to police?

  There is a few problems with this crime. It was reported there was two gunman and a women gunman so where is the other male and the women? It was reported there was no damage at all to the mosque no windows broken and no blood splatter. I'm not a conspiracy theory nutter but why these inconsistencies .

  You can't argue against global warming it's a ten billion dollar a year industry. Capitalism at it's finest when you can sell something that doesn't exist

  I,m not a Catholic and many priests in the church I believe are guilty of the most heinous crimes against children.

  I spoke to a lawyer today who does,t believe pell in guilty and believes he will appeal the conviction and will be successful.

  There is a witch hunt to get the most senior Catholic in Australia and in the trial there were many discrepancies

  here is australia the race commissioner has claimed senator o'sullivan is in violation of racially derogatory language.

  senator sullivan has said the biggest threat to biosecurity is ' some bloody old chinaman that brings in his favourite sausage down the front of his undies' chin tan said using the word chinaman is offensive.
