  so just watching the news and just seen an article about a former mp who was a critic of putin and has been assassinated ,it mentioned others who had stood up to putin and received the effects of his long reaching arm , i wonder what he will think of all the letters he will be receiving shortly ?

  The instructions say the letters should be mailed no later than April 1.

  These letters are an April fools joke on the JW`s if they think it will make a difference to Putin

  Christians acknowledge that the Old Testament has practices that are way out of touch with todays norm.

  And the Old Testaments punishments for sins and crimes are not applicable in todays society .

  And the New Testament has put all the old testament behind it.

  In Christianity no stonings ,no cutting off a limb and more barbaric acts ,etc.etc. that was practiced in the Old Testament .

  In contrast :With Islam , the Muslim religion they still practice these barbaric acts with the blessing of the populace and Immans and whoever .Such as genital mutillation against young girls .

  And it is only Muslims , people of Islam that are carrying out these attacks on western society.Nobody else.does.

  Islam is still living in the day of centuries ago of Mahomedan with their barbaric practices and still applying them to our 21st century .

  Islam and Muslims need to be forcibly brought into the 21st century and confront reality .

  Though I wont hold my breath over that one.

  Cold Steel , I dont think that was a very loving thing he put his wife through .For her to come home read the note on the door and then find his body with a bullet hole in his head would be extremely traumatic for her.

  He could have just OD on pills that would have looked more like a natural death and saved her the trauma of finding him the way she did.

  just my 2 cents worth.

  with mark sanderson appearing recently on jw to ask all the witnesses for there help on the russia ban.

  it is a giant slap to the face of all the children and members who have been affected by this cult.

  as the royal commission two weeks ago asked or requested if one of the governing body dudes could appear or even be online feed to the commission, but of course they said heck no.. .

  The west is too soft and eventually it will be their downfall maybe not in my time but certainly in my sons time.

  The Wests refusal to identify Islam as a threat to democracy will be their undoing.

  And by bringing these people into their country`s (western nations) by the thousands is a time bomb waiting to explode in the future.

  They are a fifth column movement biding their time to overthrow democracy in favour of a caliphate system.

  The Catholic Church also abhors child sexual abuse as do all other institutions under investigation at the ARC in Australia.

  No reputable mainstream church or institution condones child abuse sexual or otherwise.

  However it has gone on and it has been covered up by many of these institutions including the JW organization as has been borne out by the ARC.

  In the case of JW`s up to 3018 Elders on judicial committees dealing with child sexual abuse of children in the JW religion in the past 50-60 years not one Elder reported this crime to either the Appropiate child protection Authorities or to the Police .

  These men are culpable for their inaction.

  In my view they should be punished , but I wont hold my breath on that score.

  How come some had hard hats on and others didnt ?

  Ones without HH trusted in Jehovah to protect them from injury

  Ones with HH didnt have faith in Jehovah to protect them from injury

  all I can say is the mind boggles .

  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.
