  2. scandals

  most powerful people have a number of underlings to do their "dirty work".

  this is the story of one of those underlings:.

  the watchtower bible & tract society of new york, located at 25 columbia heights in brooklyn, new york was incorporated in 1909 in the state of new york as a private company, by charles taze russell and several of his followers.

  this could spell real problems......the us forces heading for baghdad seemed to have come across a major iraqi force.

  there is a sandstorm so the us cannot call on air support.

  it will have to be a ground war.

  I have this link: http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/25/sprj.irq.war.main/index.html

  ... Pentagon officials said some U.S. combat vehicles were lost to ground fire, but there were no immediate reports of U.S. casualties.

  And this other: http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/25/sprj.irq.nasiriya.battle/index.html

  ... CNN correspondent Art Harris is traveling with the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, Task Force Tarawa. Harris said as the battalion drove on the main road, which crosses the key bridges, he saw seven Marine vehicles, including tanks, armored personnel carriers and Humvees, that were "lost."

  Two of those vehicles were stuck in mud and abandoned, Harris said. Five others had been destroyed.

  Marine sources said four of those vehicles were destroyed by Iraqis, but the fifth was "shot up" by a U.S. A-10 Thunderbolt warplane, an attack aircraft often used to destroy tanks.

  Hi Ransek,

  I was an elder when the affair was disclosed.

  I talked with some elders and this is waht happened:

  1. The first on was surprise and shoked, he agree with me, but decided to keep silence because of his family.

  2. The second one knew about the topic because was asked by one publisher before, but was also shoked and belived that in some way was a fullfilment of Mat 24:15. He didn't aggre with the conduct of the WT, but decided to wait in Jehovah.

  3. The third one only hear me, he also knew about the topic because was asked before by the same publisher. He didn'y reply anything, but I feel that in some way agree with me, but didn't had the courage to take an action or make more research.

  I talked with two other elders then, the ones that at last were used as the two witness rule to DA me. An elder member of the Service Desk of my country and a CO, they mantained the position of the WT, but didn't have any answers to my questions, only loyalty to the WT.

  The letter from the WT was not of public knowledge of the elders, it was only used by the Branches when a publisher asked about.

  Jehovah's Witnesses can now VOTE!

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah's witnesses were raped and tortured by the thousands in malawi because they obeyed the watchtower society's rules, and they broke caesar's law and refused to purchase a political card in a country that only had one polictical party.

  now (since 1999), jehovah's witnesses are allowed to vote in political elections!

  i would love to hear everyone's comments.

  Is Experience Necessary For Knowledge?

  imagine, if you will, that you are the only thing that exists.

  imagine that you need no oxygen, because you had everything you need.

  that means that, outside yourself, there is nothing to see, hear, feel or sense in any way.

  Hi,

  In a second thought: We can see that light is the opposite to darkness. But is also peace an opposite to evil ? I'll see how the septuagint translate this verse. As you may know some meaning of hebrew words are missing. Following the Strong information for the word translated as peace:

  07965

  Mwlv shalowm shaw-lome’ or Mlv shalom shaw-lome’

  from 07999 , Greek 4539 salwmh ; TWOT-2401a; n m

  AV-peace 175, well 14, peaceably 9, welfare 5, salute +

  07592 4, prosperity 4, did 3, safe 3, health 2, peaceable 2, misc 15; 236

  1) completeness, soundness, welfare, peace

  1a) completeness (in number)

  1b) safety, soundness (in body)

  1c) welfare, health, prosperity

  1d) peace, quiet, tranquillity, contentment

  1e) peace, friendship

  1e1) of human relationships

  1e2) with God especially in covenant relationship

  1f) peace (from war)

  1g) peace (as adjective)

  Hi,

  I had read Isa 45:7 and it seems that the Bible said that God creates evil.

  My first thought: He conceives the order and design His creation, anything against it was disorder and evil, so in this sense He was the creator of the evil. But in this sense it doesn't means that He did the evil. I will read with more time your thread. I need to do more research and think about it. Following are some Strong material about the word translated as evil in Isa 45:7

  07451 er ra‘ rah or fem. her ra‘ah from 07489 ; TWOT-2191a, 2191c

  AV-evil 442, wickedness 59, wicked 25, mischief 21, hurt 20, bad 13, trouble 10, sore 9, affliction 6, ill 5, adversity 4, favoured 3, harm 3, naught 3, noisome 2, grievous 2, sad 2, misc 34; 663

  adj

  1) bad, evil

  1a) bad, disagreeable, malignant

  1b) bad, unpleasant, evil (giving pain, unhappiness, misery)

  1c) evil, displeasing

  1d) bad (of its kind-land, water, etc)

  1e) bad (of value)

  1f) worse than, worst (comparison)

  1g) sad, unhappy

  1h) evil (hurtful)

  1i) bad, unkind (vicious in disposition)

  1j) bad, evil, wicked (ethically)

  1j1) in general, of persons, of thoughts

  1j2) deeds, actions

  n m

  2) evil, distress, misery, injury, calamity

  2a) evil, distress, adversity

  2b) evil, injury, wrong

  2c) evil (ethical)

  n f

  3) evil, misery, distress, injury

  3a) evil, misery, distress

  3b) evil, injury, wrong

  3c) evil (ethical)

  As I understand the word ALONE, psicologically also can be understood as in needing of something or someone.

  I don't fell that God is incomplete. As I understand God don't need anything. For me God can't be alone a we humans can be alone.

  I also remember a book in which the WTBT taught about God as the creator of space time. Aristoteles defined God as a motor without movement. I understand God like that. He don't need movement to produce energy. He don't need space or time.

  Regarding electrons, as you know we can't see electrons because the wave of light is bigger than electrons. So in some way God can have some other kind of eyes to see beyond light, and He also can manipulate matter in under microscopic scale. Is my weird idea that the spiritual beings live in a "space time" under electrons, that's one of the reasons because we can't see them, but they had the power to influence our world.

  I understand creation as an act of love. And for me the word creation applied to God works means to obtain something from nothing, also without experience.

  As and example: I understand the God don't need experience for knowledge. He knows good and evil without experience the evil. As I understand Satan is the creator of evil. But God knows evil previous to this Satan creation. I don't believe in Trinity and as I understand His Son is only begotten, so it had a start and as I was taught as child: the "Holy Spirit" is a by product of the love between the Father and the Son, so "He" only had a beginning.

  ... this are only my weirds personals opinions.
