romans 13 ,1-7 contrast with 2 cor.4 : 3-6 ,on the one hand the faithful are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,worldly government ,law enforcement ,etc, as its gods arrangement and to go against it is to go against god ?.
then 2 cor .4 : 3-6 states that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one satan the devil and if you are obedient to that you are supporting satan`s system of things and going against gods arrangement ?.
what sort of mental gymnastics do you need to acquire to accept both of these scriptures and keep your sanity ?.
The bible is full of delusional mythology which can seem contravening at times.
JoenB75 pointed out the interpretation of the JWS, which is contravening in itself.
Jesus said that he was not part of the this world but he didn't say that his true followers were not to be involved in governments or politics.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
after further review and thought, i really don't see how removing a monument or statue that may be truly offensive to a large group of people is in some way rewriting history.. i think of germany or other parts of europe.
you don't see swastikas on buildings or statues of hitler or mussolini or other upper level generals in public.
would it be good for a person (think jewish) to drive around a city and see hitler in a public park, even though it is "historical?
To me a statue is just a symbol or reflection of history, what is happening today in are lives is what people should be more focused about.

interesting article about the double standards of jws , that they accuse russia of violation of human rights regarding the treatment of jws ,they should be able to practice their beliefs, but jws don't recognize the human rights of current and former jws..
The WTS pushes governments for religoius freedom but then when one of their members decides to leave the organization for another they propagate that individual doesn't have the right to choose, demonizing these people as evil traitors base upon their own personal freedom to choose and decide.
Due to this repulsion/shunning millions of families have been broken apart, all instigated and enforced by the WTS.

Yes it is two faced hypocrisy when you think about.
i hear this from the leftist idiots all the time.
if someone breaks into your home 6 bullets are enough.
well if its a one of i would argue that i still my need more round for even just one person.
sometimes new situations can provide cover for one’s mistakes or intentions.
for example, suppose that i crack the windshield in my dad’s car one night.
i go home, park the car in its usual spot in the yard, and go to bed without telling my dad because i’m scared and i’m trying to think of a way out of the situation.
The WTS/JWorg acts like an illusionist all at the ready to fool, to instill fear and deceive people by propagating select information, one might call it a controlling Kingdom of propaganda.

There is no practical way to exercise power and control over adherents in an "e-religion".
Well said
i'm a born and raised witness.
i was an elder for almost 20 years.
almost the same in fulltime service.
Slowly stop going to meetings , if asked why just calmly reply your having second thoughts about the religion in general. AND YOU WISH TO KEEP THE REASONS PRIVATE WITHIN YOURSELF,
DO NOT GO INTO SPECIFIC DETAILS FROM A THEOLOGICAL VIEWPOINT WITH ANYONE , PARTICULARLY WITH AN ELDER !!!!!!!!!
wt says jesus became invisibly present in 1914. what a load of old rubbish.
but they are not the only ones.. in 1927 a woman called helen keller wrote a book called my religion.
her book advocates the teachings of emanuel swedenborg who claimed that jesus had already returned.
The endeavour of creating supportive followers for own expressed ideology is empowering is it not ? , it could actually become financially rewarding such as in literature proliferation and publishing.

By the way if people think I'm reposting comments over and over its not me
