  JW related collective nouns

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. humour

  english is a great language, especially when it comes to collective nouns.

  a "murder" of crows is just fantastic as is a "mob" of meerkats.

  a "colony" of ants, a "pride" of lions.

  The facts are Jehovah`s Witnesses have never gone out in fulfillment of Mt.24:14 , all they have done is follow in the footsteps of the Catholics and Protestants who have largely fulfilled that scripture.

  And J.W`s have poached off of them ever since.

  And as has been said above , what Good News have they preached , they keep changing the goal posts.They don`t even know what they believe anymore , if ever they really did.

  The sad fact is suicides are not confined to J.W.`s , it is a worldwide scourge on humanity .( I hope that was the right word )

  Far too many people take their own life and from all walks of life in what we refer to as civilized affluent country`s

  Why is that ?

  Their has to be real money ,real programs ,real participation by Governments to tackle this , before it becomes completely unmanageable .

  Welcome Messhy ,glad you have found your way here. Should you stop investigating mythologies ? no way .

  And don`t apologize for asking a lot of questions , how would we increase our knowledge /understanding of anything if we didn`t ask questions,

  My question to you in all seriousness is , how do you discern fantasy from reality ?

  You enjoy reading fantasy and mythologies ,and you say you believe in Jehovah , so how have you proved that Jehovah is not a fantasy and a myth ,?

  Just asking

  However I`m surprised that nobody has mentioned this to date. Fair enough he never achieved the fame his father did , After all he still did have a reasonably successful life as a singer and a bit part actor , was it the Sopranos he played himself in one of their episodes ? And didn`t he sing the opening song for "The Family Guy "? T.V.show ?

  I believe he also conducted the orchestra when his father and Lisa Minnelli toured Australia for their Concert some years ago.

  Not forgetting his abduction and ransom many years ago that ended successfully .

  Jehovah`s Witnesses an Old Testament Religion

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jehovah`s witnesses claim to be a christian religion , however looking at their history , publications ,such as the watchtower and awake mags., their conventions ,international ,regional ,local ,etc.their books pamphlets ,brochures ,etc.etc.

  you are hard pressed to find references to the new testament and references to jesus and his ministry .. they seem to be more focused on the old testament , and the god of the old testament.jehovah.

  even in their dramas at conventions , international and local events they are pre-occupied with old testament accounts and experiences , and not christian experiences , examples or ,lives to emulate .. they claim to be a christian religion and very seldom do they highlight the name of jesus , or his teachings , they are fixed on the old testament name of jehovah , and what he did in the old testament.

  Even in their Dramas at Conventions , international and local events they are pre-occupied with Old Testament accounts and experiences , and not Christian experiences , examples or ,lives to emulate .

  They claim to be a Christian Religion and very seldom do they highlight the name of JESUS , or his teachings , they are fixed on the Old Testament name of Jehovah , and what he did in the Old Testament. Jehovah a name Christendom invented.around the thirteenth Century., and J.W.`s adopted for their religion.

  The general feeling is the old testament GOD is a bloodthirsty God of war, an avenging God.

  The general feeling in the New testament of Jesus is a God of love and forgiveness .

  And Jehovah`s Witnesses choose to back the GOD of the Old Testament against JESUS
