i hear this from the leftist idiots all the time.
if someone breaks into your home 6 bullets are enough.
well if its a one of i would argue that i still my need more round for even just one person.
We should all teach our children not to steal, not to lie, not to abuse anyone's rights and to be held to their own actions' consequences.
Unfortunately, we live in a [somewhat global] society where culture defines truth as opposed to truth defining culture.
To say that it's an effing shame would be a gross understatement.

they know many people are fearful and feeling vulnerable due to world events.. but something i’ve always considered is how will they be better off by becoming a jw.
they can be a jw, but the world events still are happening causing everyone anxiety.
and no, jws are not immune from this, jws are more anxious and paranoid as ever right now.
yes, the fish are biting again, yet somehow WTS membership numbers have remained the same for the last 20 yrs
jehovah is a made up name.
not god's real name.. therefore jehovah's witnesses is a made up name for a made-up god.. therefore when you got baptized, you got baptized in the name of a made up religion backed up by a made up god's name.. therefore jesus did not appoint the governing body since it wasn't in existence then.
no wonder the july 2020 wt tells you that you have to be convinced god has an organization.. what does this mean?
There are some 30,000- 40,000 different Christian sects/faiths.
39,999 started by men and women who thought that they knew better than the one and only church started by Jesus Christ himself. That is why the church that Jesus started is credited with giving the world charities, hospitals, old age homes, universities, the free market economy, etc, etc
All of the other 39,999 protesting churchs' fruits all together just cannot compare.
Who was that man that started the WTS again? Jesus? No. Just like WTS fruits. Non existent

i am so sick of hearing ( wife is pimi):.
critical times so hard to deal with.
last nano second..... buy out the time.
'I really thought that I'd see the end of this system of things before I die'
Sorry, those are the buzz words from your JW loved ones just before they die.....
just imagine.
boy who for 16 years have been taught to live for god’s kingdom, be no part of the world and not to kill, been called up for military service and have to put on the army uniform….. i thought i was prepared for it.
but the moment when i was given my army uniform, the truth fell on me.
you will die.
i will die.
those who have gone before us, the great and the small, the powerful and the weak, have shared the common fate of dying.
On my previous post, let me clarify that I understand that being raised in the 'truth' is different.
We all give our parents the 'benefit of the doubt' and believe many things because we trust their honesty and integrity. That is a given.
But, if you were converted from what ever faith was your previous, and you fell for the 'millions living now will never die'. I dunno? A not nice selfish thought, and not very likely, historically speaking, to say the least
you will die.
i will die.
those who have gone before us, the great and the small, the powerful and the weak, have shared the common fate of dying.
Thinking that you won't taste death?
Crazy, just plain crazy. Beyond being duped , it's a total disconnect with reality.
brothers and sisters associated with the watchtower society may 9, 2020. i have tried to inform you of the necessary adjustments you ought to take in order to truly be in the truth.
but my efforts have remained fruitless.
you well know the biblical procedure.
It seems all this mental energy could be made of better use..... Have you considered applying your intellectual acuities to something truly meaningful and constructive?
I agree with the better use of your mental energy. Jesus never said that we should use the bible as our guide to Christianity or life or anything like that. He did say "Do ALL that I have commanded you and I will be with you until the end of the age"
I don't think that you have realized that you have put all of your faith into someone else's interpretation of a Catholic book.
Make no mistake, the bible is a Catholic book compiled, propagated and protected by them. Somebody sold you on the idea that they knew a better interpretation then the people who gave it to the world. Of course, this type of thinking is at odds with basic common sense. The people who gave the world the bible would know better than a random group of unguided readers. That is why the WTS has a fluid interpretation of the scriptures that changes whenever they change leadership. Think about it.
The bible is not and never was a guide to Christianity, it is a tool used to instruct and correct moral questions and was/is used in the Catholic liturgy. Perhaps some serious studies into accredited historical sources would serve you with real truth instead of the corrupted truth that you have been taught. Tough pill to swallow I know. but...
The Truth Will Set You Free
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 would say this to Kosonen and any other protestant.
The idea that you [or anyone else] would know the hour, the day, the month or even the effin year is ludicrous.
Every generation ever [even before Jesus] thought that they would witness the apocalypse. .
EVERYONE WHO EVER LIVED, ended up dead.
EVERYONE WHO EVER LIVED WILL DIE!
ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT THEY WILL NOT DIE IS DELUSIONAL.
THAT IS THE "TRUTH"
The Truth Will Set You Free
my sister sent me this text a few minutes ago.
what does she know about my relationship with jehovah?
it was followed up by a bunch of links to jw org problem is dialog is not possible her side is the only one to be heard.
For 30+ years I have reasoned with my brother about the errors of the WTS policies.
Biblical contradictions to the WTS ever changing theology. The whole 'Lying for the Truth'tm thing..aka theocratic warfare.
His reasoning ALWAYS came back to a circular argument which totally deflected what ever issue was being discussed and brought up another point of contention.
Dismantle that point and another is brought up without an acknowledgement of the initial 2 or three points which had been proven false.
You will not reach them without first letting them figure it out on their own first.
You cannot control their decisions, but you can always ask God through prayer and that is never a wasted effort IMsomewhatHO
