Iran is Surrounded by US Troops in 10 Countries
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
"Iran literally is surrounded by American troops, notes an oil market analyst, Energy and Capital editor Christian A. DeHaemer. There is no evidence of an imminent attack, but he connects a number of recent events and the presence of American soldiers to warn that oil prices might soar -- with or without a pre-emptive strike aimed at stopping Iran’s nuclear power ambitions. Iran is bordered on the east by Pakistan and Afghanistan, where U.S. troops have been waging a costly war, in terms of money and lives, against Taliban, Al-Qaeda and other terrorists.
The Persian Gulf is on Iran’s southern border, and last week’s report, confirmed by the Pentagon, that 11 warships had sailed through the Suez Canal, raised alarm bells that the U.S. is ready to fight to keep the Persian Gulf open. Iran has threatened it could close the waterway, where 40 percent of the world’s oil flows in tankers, if the United Nations or the United States by itself carry out harsh energy sanctions against the Islamic Republic. An Israeli ship has also reportedly joined the U.S. armada.
Kuwait, which is heavily armed by the U.S. and is home to American bases, is located on the southwestern border of Iran. The country’s western neighbors are Turkey and Iraq, also home to American bases, and Turkmenistan, the Caspian Sea and Azerbaijan are the Islamic Republic’s northern neighbors................"

"There is Nothing Wrong With Your Television Set."
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling the transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the Outer Limits.

by blondie inthe wts has said that disfellowshipping offenses in the congregation equal the ones that resulted in execution in the nation of israel.. "insight on the scriptures" vol.

"expelling - judicial excommunication, or disfellowshipping...analogous to the powers of capital punishment (death)...during jesus' earthly ministry the synagogues served as courts.

The problem though is when there is serious damage that is not specifically spelled out. In the case of pedophiles for example, it would seem rather absurd to go to an individual and say, "You molested my daughter. Do you repent?" And then they say "yes" and you say "Well no harm done. All's forgiven." Right? I don't think so. I'm just asking how these things should be handled in what's not only luving, but also fair and just, under the NC that is rather short on specifics. Under the Law, judges were to thoroughly investigate serious matters brought to their attention. Now as Paul said,
1 Corinthians 6:3 - "Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!" and Yahushua,
Matthew 7:14 - "But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
So what's the luving NC all about in matters of judgement?

I'm not sure? That's why I'm asking questions about how things are to be dealt with in luv. If one is supposed to speak to the congregation, what are they supposed to do?

No SA, I wasn't addressing you per se. But thank you for your post. But what about Matt 18:15-18? Is that part of the NC?

So under the NC, how should pedophiles be dealt with? And how would it have been dealt with under Mosaic Law?
And what about homosexuality?

And then there is the positive and negative reinforcements of reward and punishment for going along with the agenda and saying the right things. If you say the wrong thing you know what's liable to happen. And the routine never varies. Total conditioning, as you give up your free will and zone out. That's why attendance is mandatory. I remember one of the ms's who stopped being regular. Nobody would say anything but all knew something was very wrong as his family was missing their head.

As to what hurricanes might do Mr Flipper -
Dear NaturalNews readers,
"As hurricane season is now upon us, people are beginning to ask what might happen if a powerful storm picks up oil and chemicals from the Gulf of Mexico and dumps them on a major U.S. city like New Orleans. The potential scenario may be worse than you think: A city coated with oil is a tinder box ready to go up in flames if the sun dries out most of the water, leaving behind flammable oils coating everything. Read more about how the BP oil spill could turn a major U.S. city into a firestorm:"http://www.naturalnews.com/029082_Gulf_Coast_oil_spill.html
"We're going to have to evacuate the gulf states.........This story is 80 times worse than I thought."
