do you get the feeling that time is moving faster?
what do you think?.
Of course time is getting faster , I`m living proof of that fact.
When I was a young kid every Xmas was like five years away.
When I was a teenager it came down to about 2years before the next one
Now that I`m in my 70`s the weeks last only about 2-3 days before the next week arrives .
If I live into my 90`s I`ll be living in the future and waiting for the past to catch up.
just saying.
jehovah's witnesses mobilize global response to threat of ban in russia.
march 21, 2017. https://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/russia/jw-mobilize-global-response-to-threat-of-ban/.
new york—threatened with an imminent ban on their worship in russia, jehovah’s witnesses are responding with a direct appeal to kremlin and supreme court officials for relief through a global letter-writing campaign.
Could this not be an avenue we could take advantage of in getting our message across about the problems of Cult religions such as the JW`s and others ,however banning them only seems to make them stronger ?
Wouldnt it be more effective to have a series of media outlets ,print TV etc. exposing their failed predictions ,prophecys , and showing what they published in their official publications years ago that they clearly reject nowadays ?
Exposing the "old truths"/" new truths" for what it is .an excuse ,rationalisation of failed expectatipons /prophecy that never happened when they predicted it.
The internet is full of such occurences .
We could write to Russia too giving our point of view or should I say YOUR point of view.
I dont believe JW`s should be banned in Russia or anywhere else ,but I do believe we have the right to expose the JW religion for what we believe it really is. A CULT
this week all congregations in australia have been instructed to make the following announcement:.
if a member of the congregation would like a copy of the child safeguarding policy of jehovah’s witnesses in australia, please see the coordinator of the body of elders or the secretary.. .
childsafeguardingpolicy-eau.pdf.
The Australian announcement of Child Safeguarding Policy by the WTB&TS /Jehovahs Witnesses available on request to any member of this religion is not acceptable for obvious reasons to ex JW`s .
The response by Jehovahs Witnesses is not acceptabile and ,should not be acceptable by anyone.
The ARC has been demonised by the JW religion as being a part of Satans System of things under the control of the God of this system of things Satan the Devil .2Cor.4:4 According to Jehovahs Witness Governing Body.
So by far the majority of JW`s will not even ask for this policy because it will flag to the Elders who are questioning the authority of the Governing body of elders
And no JW wants to be looked upon as a weak JW or one who is going to cause trouble to the religion or bring reproach on Jehovahs name.
By complaining to the Australian Royal Commission about jehovahs Witnesses.these people will be ostracised .,shunned and excluded from family and friends no matter how long they have been associated with the JW religion.
i am just curious.. i have a cousin who is a baptist and his church streams their sunday services and i've been checking them out before i go to meeting with my jw wife.. i haven’t been to a church except for the occasional funeral and wedding and the only sermons i had heard were the tel-evangelist type.
anyway, all the church bashing by jws over the years made me unsure what to expect and i was pleasantly surprised.
they do use the bible and they don't spend the whole time begging for money.
To me that would be like jumping from the fire into the frying pan . (think about it )
the only witnesses i knew that had money were those that either had family businesses or had money before they got into the religion.
.
I knew of a few brothers who got into get rich quick schemes /businesses that involved others in the congregations ,but I`m damn sure none of them ever became wealthy being involved in them.
i've just finished eating a slice of delicious birthday cake!.
depart from me, for i am a sinful person.. tee hee hee.. sylvia.
It wasn`t cheesecake was it I love cheesecake if it was I envy you , I`d die (almost ) for cheesecake .
That is the ultimate / unforgiveable sin ,not liking cheesecake
Say three Hail Cheesecake Jesus prayers and go to the end of the line to enter the next store.
If it was cheesecake you enjoyed all your sins are forgiven and you have three get out of gehenna passes to use.
"what man among you with 100 sheep, on losing one of them, will not leave the 99 behind in the wilderness and go after the lost one until he finds it?
" - luke 15:4. disclaimer: by posting the following observations i am not complaining.
i am happy to be left alone.
My wife and I left just over20 years ago and nobobody after 33 years as a slave of the WT bothered to even try to re-ignite" the first love for the "truth"" we once had and we were considered to be in the inner circle of the congregation.All we did was fade away .
It was only about 5 years ago that I sent in myDA letter to the KH after many years here.
They are all talk and no action everybody leaves it up to somebody else and nothing ever gets done when it comes to sheperding,looking after the lost /strayed sheep.
interpret john 1:1 by john 1:1. .
the greek language has the definite article which has approximately thirty variations, is translated into english as “the”, and points to an identifiable personality, someone we have prior knowledge of.
but the greek language has no indefinite article corresponding to the english “a”, or “an”.
If after 2000 years christians are still debating what John 1:1 means about God, jesus , their relationship etc,etc,
And we still havent heard anything from God
It doesnt inspire confidence that their is a God.does it ?
so noah was a preacher of righteousness.
than how did he warn other pockets of civilizations that were hundreds or thousands of miles away?
and if they were destroyed anyway i thought jehovah only acts after he gives clear warning.. and if there were no other civilzations why the need to destroy the entire earth of every living creature?
You have a point or two their waton,what can i say .?

joint statement of o'brien and spinks.
Correct me if I am wrong but the WTB&TS do not have one comprehensive document covering the allegations and response to child sexual abuse from the organisation that Elders and the rank and file have access to when they feel the need to review it ?
As was painfully brought out by the Jehovahs witnesses their was this "letter" this "memo" this "WT article" etc,etc,all coverering different time frames over many years , who could wade through all that confusing publications.? let alone a R&F member ?
