  Are you sick of conspiracy nuts?.....9/11

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yes apparently the staff at the twin towers on 9/11 didn't notice the explosives strapped to all the beams on each floor......of course a plane fully loaded with jet fuel going so fast it nearly flew through the building {blew out the otherside} would not be enough to cause a collapse.

  the building were glowing red!

  people jumped due to the heat and smoke.

  It's safe and comforting to believe there are super secret badmen who control the evil things that happen. The scary truth is that no-one is in control!

  I believe the reality is that most people at whatever position in life are just trying to do the best for themselves and muddling through as best they can.

  There is no all powerful cabal of evil bankers conspiring to bring down western economies to bring in the NWO. It was due to the housing bubble (US), profligate government spending (Eurozone) and investment banker's greed.

  The US Government did not cause the 9/11 events. It was Al Qaida.

  Jesus didn't return invisibly in 1914.

  The Watchtower slams the Catholics, why not Islam?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  given that the wbt$ is always ready to insult the catholics and other religions why don't they slam islam in the same way?.

  is it because it's not considered 'christian' or do they know that muslims won't take their insults?.

  or do they and i just missed it?.

  1) They skeered.

  2) They want 'the work' legalised in Muslim countries.

  3) They envy the autocratic culture of Saudi Arabia.

  4) Most dub converts come from a nominal Christian background.

  Does A City Have A Right To Limit "Bible Study" In A Home With A Group Of People?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i saw an article today about a ban on home bible studies in california (san juan capastrano).

  if more than 3 were involved, it was considered by the town, a "church".. i don't think this was posted here.. to me, this is really going too far!!

  Interesting Jeff - but which right should the state protect? The right to peaceful enjoyment of your own home, or the right to run a church out of a residential property?

  If my neighbour was holding a garage sale twice a week surely they'd be in violation of local zoning laws?

  I think these people would definitely be classed as nusiance neighbours.

  It doesn't matter if they are meeting to discuss the Bible or if they are the Capastrano chapter of Donny Osmond's fan club. Upto 50 people arriving and leaving one resdiential property twice a week with all the related traffic, parking and noise issues?! I'd want my local authority to stop it.

  A quote I liked from Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.. true of jehovah's witnesses i think.

  i've bought the book and i'm looking forward to reading it.. extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds is a history of mass movements and crazes by the scottish journalist charles mackay, first published in 1841. the book chronicles its subjects in three parts: "national delusions", "peculiar follies", and "philosophical delusions".

  despite its journalistic and rather sensational style, the book has gathered a body of academic support as a work of considerable importance in the history of social psychology and psychopathology.. the subjects of mackay's debunking include economic bubbles, alchemy, crusades, witch-hunts, prophecies, fortune-telling, magnetisers (influence of imagination in curing disease), shape of hair and beard (influence of politics and religion on), murder through poisoning, haunted houses, popular follies of great cities, popular admiration of great thieves, duels, and relics.

  Actually it will be good to check if this paragraph undergoes revision before it's loaded to the CD-ROM, because as it stands the paragraph effectively reads:

  "It is not by works we enter into Jehovah's rest but by working..."

  What is Armageddon For?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  armageddon is a military exercise where the nations will be judged in the "valley of decision" for how they treated israel in regard to dividing that land.

  it is not to destroy the wicked as the wt teaches.

  the wicked are destroyed from the effects of adam in that all die.. i will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

  So, in summary, following on from Brother Perry, the UN will pass a resolution about recognising Palestine as an independent nation & that will trigger World War End Times.
