  Victory

  by Twitch in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  victory (author unknown)

  when you are content with any food, any raiment, any climate, any solitude, any interruption - that is victory

  when you can bear with any discord, any annoyance, any irregularity, any unpunctuality (of which you are not the cause) - that is victory

  Witnesses View - Council of Nicea (serious thread)

  by Confucious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  ok.... just trying to find a better understanding here.... no stupid posts like, "...because it's the governing body.

  " - please.. ok.... how do the witness justify the bible and at the same time condem catholicism et all.... i mean, the books in the bible were picked by the council of nicea - which according the the witnesses - were part of the great appostasy and sanctioned by the same group of religious leaders they condemn..
