  Faith... and Trust: The Same Things?

  by AGuest in

  in a discussion with some other dear ones, the question was asked as to what such ones put their faith in.

  in response to one comment that"one can't function without faith," another disagreed, stating ones can, that "many do so every day... the ones who have trust" (in things like the sun rising in the east versus the west).

  that trust extended to "faith" based "on nature and the natural order of things.

  Quit trying to impress NC with your "I was a WT elder so when I something is, it is..." melarkey.

  I still am a WT elder... and your still passive agressive and insulting to people. However since the owners of the board seem intent on supporting your tirades and trying muzzel anyone who attempts to question your bitchy nature... well you have free reign it seems. Just know my dear one (pieces to you!) that always enjoyed our exchanges. I enjoy it more when you leave crying about people being flyies though....

  this is a melancholy day for me.

  over the past few years i have been studying american politics and have enjoyed learning perspectives from different ideologies.

  i personally lean towards conservative values when it comes to creating legislature, however i am socially liberal.

  Ahh thank you for the clarification. I couldnt be bothered to look deeply into it, it was so ludicrous. Random people making rediclous requests on the internet? That makes sense ;)

  Do-Overs...What if you could have just one....What would it be? Why?

  as we grow older and have more life experience we have an advantage in looking at our life as a whole.. we can see things from more than one perspective.

  we can be wiser as our emotions cool.

  hindsight gives us the power to judge outcomes.. for example, i was thinking about a 20 year chunk of my life.

  How Did The Watchtower Reason Away Their United Nation Membership Card? Poor Malawi Brothers!

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the brothers in malawi died, sisters were rapped for not buying a government card which the watchtower organization did for itself with the united nations (ngo status, card carryning members of the wild beast!).

  why did the governing body decide it was ok to carry a united nations identification card for the watchtower society as a whole?

  this makes no sense, shows how little the governing body and the "dark corporation behind the organization" does not care for jesus christ's little sheep.

  They could have simply said it was using all legal means to establish and defend the good news and cited the scripture on that. Problem solved... But as you say, they ran and hid. Telling.

  Here is the real crime..... In CoC ray franz Draws a comparision with mexico where men were required to do a certain amount of time in military service to receive government assistance (of any kind). Instead of declining the gov assistance the brothers were allowed to bribe government officials to have their service records falsified. This at the same time malawi was going on.

  To add insult to injury the reason the malawi situation started in the first place was that when the civil war (or the whole political card became an issue)broke out the local brothers couldnt contact brooklyn for direction. They just decided to err "on the iode of caution" and say not to buy the political cards so as not offend the desert god. When communication was established with brooklyn again the big wigs in brooklyn felt that if they over turned the local brothers decision it would undermine the suffering the brothers had been through already. So they aimply went along with and thousands of dubbies were beaten, raped and killed needlessly. And told it was to "stay neutral" .

  To add insult to injury, there was really was only political party in malawi anyway. It could have been reasoned that the so called political card was just a government issued ID. Had not the local brothers decided it was a sin absent any direction from brooklyn, brooklyn itself didnt see buying the cards as an issue.

  Good thing this is gods spirit directed organization and all.....
