we used to use this scripture to show that there was going to be a future resurrection.
but recently i got to thinking about it.
if the apostle paul was right in saying that the righteous on death would be changed in the twinkling of an eye from earthly life to heavenly glory why would there be a future resurrection needed for the righteous?
Another earthquake in the ring of fire???? Jesus told us to watch for these things?....
uhhhh its called the ring of fire for a reason.... that's is exactly where most earthquakes originate on this planet... the ring of fire... for hundreds of thousands of years....
Shes cute though!

good to see the caring brothers help establish depth of guilt..
You could tell that from the start.... he's already DFd, they are just trying to get all the dirty juice stuff out... so they can recall those thought later out... on marital debit night...
This video trains the window washers to be like sniffing dogs... in search for drugs.... clinching and not let it go.
Once an Elder in charge of a service table at bethel told me... "if you ever commit a sin.... just tell the elders you sinned ask them to DF you, tell them you cant talk about what you did" that's the fastest way to recover.
i loath this cult!!!!!!!!!!
why won't she leave?.
she knows about the australian royal commision, the united nations, failed prediction dates etc...., i have crisis of consciene and she know, it is visiable that she could see the book everyday.
Shes connected to the Matrix.... its not a joke, not even an allegory.... shes is mentally under control.
You are living with a ZOMBIE....
Accept it and learn to live with it..... or not and leave... there are no more options
we have to get rid of these racist relics.
i propose that we destroy all these bottles of syrups and burn every pancake box !
we need to get rid of anything that reminds us of anything negative concerning slavery.. in boston they decapitated the head of christopher columbus and got rid of his statue.
Those are things that represent slavery.... how about things that were ACTUALLY made by slaves?
The white house..... The statue of freedom on the Capitol?
You can walk TODAY and says... those monuments WERE made by slaves
im new to this forum, i dont know where else to post my story, sorry if im wrong for posting this on this subject.
as i begin to wake up from being in the org i thought id introduce myself to this forum with how i was raised in the org..., ive been beginning to look at everyones stories from being raised as one and how they left, and i find comfort in knowing im not alone, so maybe another young person like me will find the same comfort reading my story.
as you can tell by my username, i am posting this on an anonymous account because of fear of what the elders would do to me and my parents if they found out who i was.
Welcome. Congratulations on your "waking up" at 21. Some of us didn't wake up until way way later.... So you still have your 20's ahead of you.
I would start creating a relationship with any non jw relative... the stronger the better... the more the better.. also with people outside a cult...
Become financially independent and if you can start learning more skills... ideally in school but nowadays you can learn a lot online...
Its like you are preparing for Armaggeddon... But this will be your personal one.. and the good news is that you might lose your family... but you wont lose your life... not yet :-) Sorry but there's no paradise with pet lions... your paradise started when you woke up... and it wont last forever.. so you better start enjoying whats left of it.
Keep reading... act very slowly right now.
if people are more interested in talking about politics and social issues than wt stuff.....
isnt that a great thing?
doesnt that mean that now they are starting to really become part of the world they live?
besides how many more times would you need to post that rusell had affairs? its already there....
now back to the protests....
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?
The french army used a clay horse sculpted by Leonardo da Vinci as target practice. A 25 ft statue built around 1499. For sure the biggest statue in its time...
The allies bombed in WWII many centuries-old buildings, churches, cities...
I always wondered why would they destroy something that belongs to all of us... human beings.
It seems we have not changed much.
Many can't seem to see 1 day ahead of them... how could they think 100, 200 years from now?

So if we are going to remove the statues of the people who were pro slavery....
The we gonna need to get rid of all the statues of george washington, and john adams and all the signers of the declaration of independence of the usa.
and get rid of the one dollar bills..
oh but also the bible.... at least the OT and of yaweh, he loved his slaves...
and all the kings of england and spain and france and portugal, and the dutch...and any king prior to 1850
and that solves the issue. thats it no more racism and police brutality
his murder was a crime and justice must be done, but it's sobering to learn more about the man who is being lionised by millions.
thanks as always to the courageous candace owens.. ....
And that's is exactly the point. That even the most criminal of criminals deserves a fair trial and due process, regardless of his crimes and color.
I believe the judiciary system is also flawed and needs urgent re structuring but is the best we can do right now.

GF's past or present, is not the issue. The issue is Police abuse of force without accountability, violation of their oath to protect the constitution, police policy that gives immunity to police officers, the abuse of power of the state. That's the real issue. GF's Murder was just the spark... but the combustible has been piling up for a while.
If they had not touched GF, he would be dead very soon anyway based on his lifestyle.
And what's the biggest issue? is that many don't see it or choose to excuse it or just look the other way.
