  ")for millennia emperors and popes enforced compliance in our world.

  Note About "Mr X is a Pedophile" Type Posts

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  if you show up posting that someone is a pedophile but don't include any corroborating evidence to back up your statement (e.g.

  a link to a news report or police statement) then expect your post and account to be deleted.. i am not the police.

  i am not able to verify information that isn't in the public domain and there are enough malicious idiots about who will use libel to smear and harass people that we'd be crazy to take any statement at face value..

  Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  by Alex Williams in

  2. beliefs

  this statement was answered in a form of a question to a question posed by one of his followers;.

  jesus realized that composite slave had to qualify for such an appointment when he came into power of his kingdom promised by jehovah god.

  [and they came to life and ruled as kings with the christ+ for 1,000 years].

  Let's not be stubborn about it. There have been way too many off-target teachings that the WT has promulgated to blindly insist that a few things done right would qualify the WT as God's sole channel of truth. This would be like saying that God has made mistakes.

  One mistake that God did not make is His giving us the ability to think things out, rather than having us wear blinds and not look to the left or right.

  Thanks for sharing. It's good basic info that curious public readers need to know.

  There is always some telltale word or phrase in an article like this that tells me that it was a non-believer, or somebody who doesn't quite "get it" who wrote the article. This writer knows the religion and articulates accurately.

  I have read that some studies suggest that symptoms of gluten intolerance may, in fact, be caused by glyphosphate, the weed killer that is used way too generously to improve yields.

  Simon, don't forget the child sex-trafficking pizza parlor. As long as we 're obfuscating.

  JW Broadcast For August

  okay i'll admit that what i'm about to ask is a little silly.

  this is the kind of stuff that crosses over into tinfoil hat territory, but you can't help but notice it.. did anyone else see gary breaux in this month's broadcast doing that weird "hand diamond" thing over his bible?

  he was also wearing a pinky ring.

  I will say this...I tossed back a cold beer with Gary Breaux and several other brothers in the pre-convention work one time. I thought it was cool of him to relax a little with the bro's.

  My radar would have sounded if he were wearing a pinky ring. Or pink loafers.
