  hey people!

  i hope you're all surviving the "great tribulation".

  BREXIT - Will it now be "delayed?"

  by BoogerMan in

  i'm wondering if the brexit pandemonium is going to continue due to the covid 19 pandemonium.. the latter may just neccessitate further "emergency laws" which suspend the december 31st 2020 divorce date..

  There will be cost and benefits of leaving the world's most corrupt and unaccountable supranational bureaucracy.

  There is no need to continually impute the worst possible motives to people who make different judgements.

  anything. The UK electorate has shown that it will believe whatever government/MSM tells them - Boogy

  The UK electorate have never heard of MSM. I'm guessing it's a Mickey Mouse American news channel.

  We voted by a huge margin for a government that promised to get Brexit finished.

  Signs are the UK will not agree to postpone Brexit.

  If a deal can't be thrashed out by the end of 2020 we will trade with the EU under WTO rules.

  The Fundamental difference between Islam and Christianity

  ever since i came out of the witnesses, i've become very political.. i've heard lots of arguments back and forth for many things.. in the u.s. there is the argument that it is "racist" to want to deny entry to muslims.

  while there is freedom of religion, there is also the very valid concern of maintaining democracy and a justice system that is based on modern values.we as exjw's constantly quote the pew center for statistics on jw's such as: they are last place in the us for members of a religion that go to university, and second-last for poverty levels of members of a religion.

  we accept those statistics and mention them as proof of how damaging the jw's are.now, let's use the same center for some very scary statistics on islam:http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/07/22/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/.

  Rivergang. Christianity has many crimes in its past but it has grown up. Islam is the slow kid in the classroom.

  When do the 2300 days begin?

  by Kosonen in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when to begin the countdown of the 2300 days?

  to get an idea, it could be helpful to discern when those days end relative to time times and half a time.. i see a possibility that the 2300 days end the same day as the 1260 days.

  that is because the woman in revelation 12 will be fed 1260 days.

  I recall a previous life when numerology was so exciting.

  I prefer my current life where new things I learn about the real world inspire me every day.

  Anna I don't need to check out the links I'm familiar with the subject. I just disagree with the way you have randomly joined the dots to make a picture of your own fancy.

  I think every man should have the right to worship his own religion

  So do I. Why do majority Muslim states kill their apostates?

  Why does the quran teach that non-Muslims will burn in hell?

  But whoever opposes the Messenger, after guidance has been made clear to him, and follows a way other than that of the believers, We shall leave him on [the path] he has taken, and We shall cause him to burn in Hell—what an evil journey’s end! (4:115)
