so i have been having problems with the renters that moved in next door.

the last 3 months have been a living hell.

i have an ongoing complaint with the slumlord that owns the property and the city is taking him to court for derelict vehicles next week (which i anonymously complained about, but i am sure i am being blamed for).

Statistical evidence against WTS fulfillment of Mat24:14. Simple argument.

jehovahs witnesses are proud to point out that they are fulfilling the prophecy at matthew 24:14. jws are quick to point out that part of the purpose of the preaching work is so that jehovah can take note of how people respond to the witnessing, and thus can decide if they are worthy of survival or not.

last year, jws spent 1.4 billion hours in their preaching work.

so if we take: 6.6 billion people.

cnn) -- pope benedict xvi on saturday offered his strongest public statement yet on sex abuse against minors by roman catholic priests, apologizing to victims and calling the abuse "evil.".

pope benedict xvi apologized for the "pain" that sexually abusive clergy has caused.. more photos the apology came during a mass in sydney, australia, and expands on comments the pope made during an april visit to the united states, during which he publicly acknowledged the pain the church's sex abuse scandal has caused and met privately with abuse victims.. "indeed, i am deeply sorry for the pain and suffering the victims have endured and i assure them as their pastor that i too share in their suffering," he said saturday at sydney's st. mary's cathedral.. the comments came on the pope's third day of public appearances in australia, where he is attending world youth day.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses LOVE their enemies?
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
jesus' message differs from every other religious leader of his day in that he encouraged his followers to love their enemy.. are jw's encouraged to love their enemies?.

they aren't allowed to even pray for disfellowshipped former brethern although they are stray sheep.

you'll recall jesus said that a fine shepherd would even leave the 99 sheep to go after and return with the "stray".. how do jw's love their enemies?.
