Are Magicians Spawns of Satan the Devil?

by Cold Steel in

i was perusing the internet not long ago and came upon this series of videos by a guy calling himself xendrius.

it declares that many of today's best magicians are in league with the devil.

his claims are based on his observation that the tricks would be impossible to do unless the magicians had made unholy pacts with the devil.. so what's the take of the wtbts?

i did some reverse domain lookups to see what web domains were linked to watchtower.

i did reverse lookups on the hostmaster address, building address, and phone number.

i've sorted and deduplicated the results.. bethelres.org.

Interesting sites lenaga, though one does not load for me. How have you linked these to WT aside from their involvement with bloodless surgery?

@Stumpy, do you have '1975 Part B' you could share?

Back again

been absent for more than 10 years as i have had surgery sand radiation etc for brain tumour.

was in icu for 6 months and lost hearing in one ear, most of sight and physical disabilities.

was a member then just before simon emigrated to us, he had lived quite near me in uk.

You won't know me either, but I can empathise to some extent as a dear friend of mine was diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier this year. He's had a gamma knife operation and we're still waiting to see if this has been successful. It's affected his hearing and eyesight and we don't know how that's going to go...

Fortunately my friend is not involved with JW land so does not have that side to deal with, but it must have been horrible for you to have something like this compounded by your 'so called friends' not coming to visit. It really does show doesn't it?

I thought your story about your swearing at your granddaughter was funny :)

I wish you all the very best!

Plans for huge Jehovah's HQ take shape

by Formerbrother in

http://www.chelmsfordweeklynews.co.uk/news/11227290.plans_for_huge_jehovah_s_hq_take_shape/.

its going to be a real beautiful place when its finished.. they are going for quality over quantity.

it used to be accommodation for a few thousand permanent residents, now its looking like less than a thousand permanent with the possibility of a few thousand more in temporary accommodation should the need arise.. some say the plans are going to be like a garden of eden in england :) i mean they had farming in london over the years but this is going to be epic what they are planning for temple farm at chelmsford.. they are planting thousands (literally) of fruit trees, including tropical fruits in huge green houses, huge vines yards and then the same basic farming activities as before.

...you will be recorded and given an electronic badge which you have to keep with you at all times. Each badge has a locator on it and everybody will be tracked 100% of the time, if anybody is found without the locator badge there will be an investigation and all activities will be recorded by the hundreds of high end HD cameras everywhere.

Sounds wonderful!

Is this Watchtower's vision of Paradise?

I can see how everyone living there will be delightfully happy.

The 2016 domain name indicates that these year-based domain names are for information about special conventions in the given year.

Yes, I saw that after I'd posted it and the icon changed colour. It does suggest they are expecting to be holding conventions in 2020.

Who would be running the internet then though? ;)

I can understand all the JW related domains, but it was the lab, project, research domains that particularly caught my eye - wondering what they might be planning (if anything).

There's a few of what appear to be personal websites, perhaps registered by the hostmaster as a favour.

And there's some odd looking domains that at present don't go anywhere but which could be worth keeping an eye on in future.

Perhaps someone can make meaning of some of these?
