  during mao's cultural revolution images of the past were destroyed by the red guard.

  temples and churches were looted and religious statues destroyed.. this image was taken by li zhengshen at the jile temple in august 1966. the sign on the wall translates as "smash the old world".. will the left never learn?.

  JP, I think that's true but usually that behavior has been in desperate times where urgent action is needed to correct some grave injustice. These groups are organized provocateurs with a purely political agenda.

  Local statues should be a local decision, not based on fear of a vocal minority with a hidden agenda.

  I wish I had not gone to the meeting last night

  the first thing i saw when i went in was the two video screens having the watchtower singers chorus doing a number.

  the sound wasn't up enough to make out the song, but the video was grotesque.

  the singers were swaying to the music, all independent of each other, no discipline, actually sloppy-looking.

  Yes, they are taking the videos separately, probably because if you watch them altogether you see just how crazy they are.

  • need to get fresh air and exercise by walking around the neighborhood Saturday mornings
  • have something free to read while on the toilet
  • check out younger sisters at the assemblies
  • daily Starbucks run (if pioneering)
  • free food at "spiritual gatherings"
  • feeling of moral superiority with little actual work

  If it is all about translating the bible to other languages that will be so boring for the English congregations.

  What would happen to a JW who respectfully refused to fill out a no blood DPA?

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know you'll be involuntarily disassociated if you unrepentantly accepted a blood transfusion; and i know you'll be disfellowshipped for apostasy if you openly disagreed with watchtower teaching.

  what if you have done none of the above but simply respectfully refused to fill out the dpa without giving any reason for your refusal - so they can't accuse you of openly disagreeing with the no-blood doctrine and df you for apostasy.

  they don't know why you're refusing and you're not giving them the reason - and you're being very respectful.. what can they do?.

  Local needs marking talk and lots of pressure to give in or make an apostate statement.

  Beautiful new kingdom song

  has anyone noticed this new song?

  i think it's absolutely beautiful.

  it's got a film score quality about it, with depth and feeling.

  In fact many secular optimists propagandists would surely be happy singing it, apart from the one word "pray", socialists, communists, liberal progressives, could sing it just as well.

  Not a bad piece musically, it reminded me of movie soundtrack as well. However, it is not very easy to sing well so it doesn't sound too good at the KH. Plus, when it talks about a message of hope I always cringe.

  Everything is Up for Grabs! So, who gets to decide?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  everything really is up for grabs.. our sense of "absolutes" is always under fire.

  we are taught to invest all of our belief in the very idea of something being true and absolute and constant.but--is that illusory?.

  examine how this works: jesus was tortured and murdered by hanging him on a cross.
