  by liam in

  1. social
  2. current

  jeffrey sachs tries to reason with the eu parliament.that war does not benefit the countries.

  it's mutual respect that allows countries to prosper.. he reminds them that the news media is not your friend.

  he explains why trump is pulling away from the war.

  Jeffrey Sachs is one of the voices of reason in an age of insanity. I also like John Mearsheimer, Richard Medhurst, Norman Finkelstein, Judge Nepolitano, Aaron Mate, Max Blumenthal, Katie Halper, Ilan Pappé, and Whitney Webb to name some of the very few still talking sense.

  Well don’t go crazy, I mean they probably fetch around $30 to $50 which seems a high price to me for what it is. Apparently some people must buy it out of nostalgia believe it or not!

  If you’ve got any copies of the orange Bible Stories book they are strangely valuable for a publication that isn’t so old.

  Watchtower July 2025

  2. bible

  i just saw the new wt is up and available.

  the cover picture looks to me like the one that should have been used on the august 2024 wt but was pulled at the last minute and released with a different picture many weeks later.

  someone on here uploaded a low res version of the picture last year.. of course we all know why the picture was pulled in the first place........ george.

  I see, so originally it was as if the angels were telling the sister to stop shunning and go talk to the disfellowshipped sister. Wow. Weird.

  Still lots of questions, like why does the husband look like he’s unaware? Are only sisters sensitive to promptings from angels not to shun.

  Recycling photos. The original , if you forgot, was shunning your daughter-especially under the thumb if your spiritual husband

  Was the picture used before like that? Was it minus the angels?

  I guess the implication is that the photo depicts a sister deciding to go back and talk to a disfellowshipped person and they chickened out of using it as the cover for the Watchtower about talking to disfellowshipped people. But the description of the photo in the Watchtower makes more sense:

  A couple have just finished public witnessing. On their way home, the sister sees a woman who seems distressed. The sister realizes that the angels can direct us to those who may be searching for spiritual help. She feels moved to speak consolingly to the woman (See paragraph 8)

  This post is a mystery to me. I can’t find July 2025 Watchtower anywhere on the website. The latest I can find is May 2025. And you say we all know why the image was pulled in August 2024, but I’ve got no idea about that. Will you enlighten us (or me at least)?

  there are a lot of people who still think he is the second coming, but it is only a matter of time before they see the self-destruction before their eyes.

  Any day now, it’s just around the corner. 🤓

  Seriously, I can’t understand the mentality of anyone sending him any money at this point. His latest video was a thinly veiled announcement that he has no intention making any more meaningful videos for his channel but people are welcome to keep sending him money regardless to explore God and mushrooms. And remarkably, around 400 people are still willing to do so. They need their heads examined.

  Is Jesus the Creator?

  that's what the word says.

  .

  colossians 1:16. for by him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through him and for him..

  pete, some may have pursued the idea that Logos is an emanation of God, but it’s not the direction the gospel of John and the early Christians took. For John, the Logos was the personal Son of God who became flesh, Jesus of Nazareth. He was with God when God created the universe and God created everything through him. The Son is less than his Father in power, position, and knowledge. He was sent by God to do his will as an obedient Son. The closest analogy Jews had to understanding such a figure is an angel of God. But not just any angel, the unique only begotten Son of God: “no ordinary angel!” as scholar Susan Garrett describes Jesus. The gospel of John is especially clear in presenting Jesus as an angelic messenger from God, as senior scholars such as John Ashton and Adela Yarbro Collins have noted. JWs are far closer to John in their understanding of who Jesus is and his position than the later Trinitarian formulations, or the intermediate Neoplatonic formulations either, for that matter. Second century apologist, and later Trinitarians were steeped in philosophy, and obsessed concepts of essence, abscission, substance and so on. There’s none of that in the gospel of John itself. Jesus is simply the obedient Son of God, his firstborn.
