  Allow me to correct you on several things. You obviously do not understand the sentence "the city will be overthrown". Look it up.

  The context on another thread on the 1934 yearbook does prove my point that JWs were finding a common ground with the German Government so that they would stop their unfair treatment of JWs. Finding a common ground does not mean that one agrees with 100% of their ideals, but only some aspects. Obviously this was way before 1939 when WWII broke out and the holocaust began.

  Also, do not call me a liar because I have an opinion of matters.

  Mr. AlanF: I have not seen anywhere or anyone discussing Jonah as a prophet before. I was doing some reading and the question came to mind. Of course he was not a false prophet for Jehovah had sent him. Also I would like to add that Jonah showed lack of love and pride after Jehovah forgave the city, but still he is today considered a true prophet.

  Henry P is exposed as a blatant and flagrant liar AS USUAL

  Excuse me? When did this discussion turn into a personal attack? And where do you get the nerve to say "AS USUAL", where have I lied before?

  Chapter 3 says "Only forty days more, and Nineveh will be overthrown". Understand that however you want, but the question I posted is still valid.

  WATCHTOWER IS A NAZI-FASCIST.........

  by picosito in

  .....antidemocratic organization , ruling from the top down just like hitler, mussolino and franco.

  no wonder they praised hitler's principles back in 1934 and had a very hard time accepting the republic of israel.

  wouldn't be surprising if they have u-boats submerged in the east river and san pedro harbor with advanced missile capability to try to take out apostate websites, isp's, houses of prostitution and hef's mansion.. "allah akhbar", sez them.

  To you, they are Nazis. To the Nazis, they were Communists. To the Communists they were Westerners. To the Americans (during the war), they were unpatriotic. To the Christians, they are non-christians.

  In reality, they are "no part of this world".

  SYN:

  Oops, excuse my error. I did not know that you lived in South Africa. Once again, you are making too much of my post. I am not defending the practice. I also do not approve of a woman having to cover her face in some Muslim countries. Would I tell one of them to uncover it because it is degrading and because us Westerners know that this is wrong? What if she then gets jailed or even stoned to death because she does what I suggested? So, the brothers also have to be careful of what counsel they give, according to each custom.

  As for your question, my answer is no. Some brothers might me, but not as an organization.

  Actually, puffsrule, I have not run from any issues. I really have not posted much.

  Fredhall: that is the funniest post yet.

  Yes, there is a certain fear from forums such as this. JWs are fearful of those that try to brainwash them.

  SYN:

  I think you are making too much of my post. Your point of view is only as a Westerner, but you would have a different view if born and living in Africa. My comment was not chauvinistic. I did not say that I approved or disapproved the practice, only that the theme of the article is appropriate for those parts of the world where a dowry is customary.

  I certainly would not like to be a woman that is raped or abused physically by her husband. I would instead like to be a man with that husband in one room alone and beat the hell out of him for hitting his wife. Although you made your point, I think you exaggerated with the 80-year old woman bit.

  Thank you hawkaw. When reading the whole account, it is clear that the brothers were putting up a defense against false information by establishing some common ground. This does not mean that they were in favor of the atrocities committed by the Nazi party. The context DOES tell a different story.

  Yes, I realize it.

  If you belive it is a ridiculous practice that's fine, but those cultures don't view it that way. As Americans our personal opinions don't count in those cultures, so the counsel is for their benefit and shows respect for their views.
