  50 Years since the first moon landing

  by eyeslice2 in

  2. friends

  in july of 1969, i was 16 years old and was pretty excited by the prospect that the us would shortly land a man on the moon.

  however, i remember, vividly and older brother at the time confidently stating that man would never walk on the moon, quoting psalms 115 - "as for the heavens, they belong to jehovah.

  but the earth he has given to the sons of man.

  Lots of people pointed out problems with some of your topics and yet you never engaged in conversation about it once.

  This is a DISCUSSION forum.

  Walk away or learn and grow.

  If you are in the UK subscribe the BBC podcast series '13 Minutes to the Moon'. It's brilliant.

  STOP treating Watchtower Bible & Tract SOCIETY as a RELIGION

  by Nathan R. Koppe in

  "the watchtower society is not a religious society for 👥 public worship, such as a ⛪️ church, but is a 💲 business corporation..."

  ➡️ please use and demonstrate this if you are involved in any legal action, it's not about religious rights and freedom, this is where they are 'fooling' their followers and authorities❗️

  ➡️ the purpose of disfellowshipping, disassociating and shunning are 'legalistic and pharisaical tricks' to 'name and shame' anyone asking (the right) questions about it's biblical teachings (aka) doctrines, (abuse) policies and the real truth about the 'truth' (aka apostate)❗️

  Any politician or advocate who is encouraging the black community to demand reparations is their greatest enemy.

  Black people in 2019 are not victims. Those individuals who think otherwise have fallen for an agenda that will keep them subservient.

  news❗️ watchtower lawyer paul d. polidoro admits in writing that watchtower has a "practice of shunning".

  do jehovah’s witnesses shun former members of their religion?

  JWs who drift away and then start saying or doing things that contradict the teachings of the cult are likely to be shunned even if the elders have not taken action.

  That is different from JWs who have simply become inactive and stopped attending meetings.

  The second screenshot is referring to JWs who have 'drifted away' - inactive publishers - not to disfellowshipped persons.

  I hate sounding like I am defending the cult but you keep posting terrible arguments. Always quote your opponent in context otherwise you just weaken your own case.

  No I don't see it. Even zoomed in the writing is illegible.

  Could you please explain?

  I don't get it.

  How is the admission that some JWs have abused children incompatible with the claim that they are not 'permissive of pedophiles'?

  Weak arguments harm the case against the cult.

  Be in no doubt that I believe that the Watchtower has created a haven for pedophiles but I don't get your argument.
