  the right to religious freedom is enshrined in almost all the world's Constitutions...the least that Russia could do is bring the guilty government personal to justice.

  There is no religious freedom in Russia. It is in the grip of extreme Eurasian nationalism. The person behind the policy to torture peaceable JWs is Vladimir Putin. Nothing of significance happens in Russia without his approval.

  Despite your never-ending flights of fancy you cannot divine reality out of your own imagination. Sometimes you have make the effort to read a book.

  in the Russian government's eye they are extremist and who's to say they are wrong? - Brokeback

  Anybody who knows anything about the Watchtower and/or anything about Putin's Russia.

  No JW has committed a terrorist act in the history of the organisation.

  First Brexit, is SCOTCH-EXIT next?

  mrs. may-hem seems happy to allow the no-deal scenario to go ahead if her deal isn't accepted.. if that scenario occurs, we can expect yet another push for a referendum to vote for scotland's "independence.

  " independence would simply mean replacing the overlords of the westminster parliament with a new set of overlords in brussels, because the scottish national party is desperate to join the eu.

  "independence" is so liberating!.

  I wouldn't trust the wee wifies in Holyrood to run a raffle let alone a country.

  The majority of Scots want Indy put in the bottom drawer for the foreseeable future and for the SNP to get on with running the country using the extensive powers they already have.

  A totalitarian government, with no regard for the rule of law or human rights, hunts down and brutally tortures its citizens for worshipping in a way that is disapproved by the national church. And you couldn't give a fuck.

  You are either vindictive or as dumb as a box of rocks.

  Firstborn of all Creation - What does it refer too?

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jehovah's witnesses believe the title given to the lord jesus as 'firstborn' is in reference to himself being created.

  however as we study the scriptures we can see that it has a greater meaning than being created..

  I was raised evangelical and I can assure you a one hour motivational speech on Sunday morning is nothing compared to the WTS. - Steel

  Then you were at the extreme soft end of the evangelical spectrum.

  As I said Google ex-christian forums to meet thousands of people who disagree with you. Or carry on living in a bubble and insulting those who disagree. Your choice.

  I can't really give 2 shits what happens to JW in Russia - Brokeback Watchtower

  Your stupidity is beyond words.

  Putin is running a totalitarian regime. He does not even see freedom and democracy as a virtue. Along with China we are rapidly heading into a new Cold War between democracies and totalitarian regimes. So many in the west are too naive and/or stupid to understand the difference.

  what is striking is how straightforward a non-Trinitarian reading of the New Testament is compared with the gymnastics of Trinitarian interpretations - SBF

  I agree but some of your 'proof texts' actually don't work.

  Trying to prove the trinity to a JW is a fool's errand. It is far better to show them that the way they view Jesus is very different from the early church...
