8The perfect tool for Glock magazines
by Wonderment inthose of you who own glock pistols know that it takes a bit of know-how or work to open a glock magazine for cleaning, or for adding a magazine extension to increase round capacity.
the reason why glock chose this method of retaining is to prevent accidental release of the magazine springs and cartridges in case they are dropped.
the military and law enforcement agencies appreciate this system more than the average joe.

How did JWs arrive at a clearer understanding of what the Bible teaches than other Christian denominations?
by slimboyfat infor jws who believe that jehovah had a hand in reviving the truth in the nineteenth century this is enough explanation for how jws managed to achieve a closer approximation to early christian beliefs and practices than other groups.
but is there an explanation for this phenomenon that doesn’t rely on supernatural intervention?
new testament scholar james dunn explains the difficulty of interpreting the biblical texts in this way:.

Ten reasons Jehovah’s Witnesses have the true religion (plus a bonus one)
by slimboyfat inthinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.
1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.
not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.

Always interesting re/JWs resistance to Nazi regime -- are Jewish people today aware of this? I'd received such negative comments in the past from couple Jewish people re/JW religion and perplexed why they'd undermine/ignore JWs' historical position. Most likely they're unaware or because of other WT doctrine. Comments were from older ones not young and ignorant of history. I really don't think most people are knowledgeable of JW's persecution for their faith during this genocide.

Great topic. I had more than one JW say, "oh, you thought the WT/JWs/halls were like what's printed in the WT/Awake/publications!" Oh my -- not even close!

1974 Watchtower Prophecies verses Dad’s Prophecies. Who was correct? An old guy reflects on calamity howling.
by Balaamsass2 incalamity howling is always in style with some folks, every year.
1974 was 50 years ago this year!
i was fresh out of high school bright eyed and earnest about all things jw and watchtower.

Smart, good, odds, following Dads, your enemy, anyone/anything, compared to WT.
Longy - lol 'go ask either the religion or their spiritual friends'. I think there could be some issues for those who listened for decades to false prophet WT if the economy doesn't turn around soon. I suppose they've the welfare system to fall back on but not sure how well they'll eat/live.

Alexis Lorenze's vaccine injury is beyond horrific - it has gone viral forcing media to cover. Fox News 11 Los Angeles is reporting. Alexis ultimately agreed to the hospital's requirement of 3 vaccines -- meningitis, pneumonia and tetanus. She had extreme adverse reaction within 10 minutes. Lost vision in both eyes and started bleeding out her nose - vomiting and discolorations (purple) patches under her skin appearing at top of her head and spread covering much of her body.
Of course, Fox News 11 tried contacting UCI Med Center for comment but no response. I believe this hospital is in Orange County, (so cal), California.
She is on road to recovery and has regained her vision but could take several wks. before she is well enough to be released.

Do you recognize this?
by Gorb inthinking sometimes about my youth days and the stories my grandfather told me about our jw congregation.
do you recognize that your congregation was full of somehowe strange folks, very low educated, poor and simple?.
the po was an elder with some distance, with some personality acting intelligent and following the rules strict.. there was always a kind of scandal.

I've no idea about elders today but couple of bad apples in the early 90s among kind, good, ones. A couple deceased past decade.😥
Vanden -- great post and thanks for re-sharing. I, too, missed the first round.
