  Is their a new holocaust in the making ? Are jews being made the scapegoats again ?

  mass immigration in the world "seems" to have led to a rise in anti -semitism in the west.

  france now has more than six million muslims.. germany now has four million muslims.

  the netherlands has almost one million muslims .

  roberto avon- you are correct-

  Hamas keeps firing rockets into Israel and sets up their bases in residential areas near schools, etc, using civilians as shields. Hamas does not care how many people in Gaza are killed.

  Israel needs to defend itself by destroying Hamas' base of operations. But the media plays into Hamas hands by criticizing Israel for attacking Hamas bases.

  Hamas intentionally puts their bases where civilians will be killed. It is not Israel's fault and I am 100% on Israel's side.

  I wish to clarify something said about race and religion.

  I am a Jew as are all of my blood relatives. We have all been born Jews. But that is not our "race"

  Our race is Caucasion. Being a Jew is not a race.

  Most Jews are Jewish but" Jewish" refers to following Judaism.

  Judaism is a religion and non-Jews can convert to Judaism which a small number do. Thus they are considered "Jewish" by practicing Judaism.

  Natural Jews are decended from the Israelites. But being a Jew is not a "race". It is a geneological lineage and heretage.

  FROM FEET TO FINGERS: THE WATCHTOWER EVOLVES INTO JW.ORG

  by steve2 in

  1. jw

  with the official letter from the gb to all bodies of elders, a stylized jw.org banner can now be appended to kingdom hall signage.. what an auspicious year this will turn out to be for the organization!!.

  among other outcomes, the "link" with the old, baggage-ridden "watchtower bible & tract society" recedes into the background.

  furthermore, now you don't pretend to need feet trudging door-to-door - your worker is done at the press of a few directed fingers.

  My jw brother always refused to get the internet because the devil is in it!

  I wonder if all of the importance placed on jw.org has caused him to give in.

  But it would not surprise me to find out some witnesses have T-shirts and baseball caps with the jw.org logo made. Notebooks, fridge magnets, etc.

  In my area Jews are applauding Israel 100%. Hamas must be destroyed.

  The rules for the coming of Messiah seem so strict if he was really coming I would never expect to live to see it!

  I don't think ALL non-Jews are anti-semitic, but I do see it more and more.

  My sister used to tell me that all gentiles really hate Jews. I did not believe it but unfortunatly I see it more and more.

  Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorists. Israel is always under attack by enemies who want it destroyed and the Jews dead.

  I do not know why so many people are Anti-Semitic although ignorance must play a factor in it. The Christian religion has done much to turn people against the Jews.

  I found it rediculous that people would take a Jewish man, Jesus, make him into their God and then hate and persecute other Jews for not worshipping this false messiah/false God Jesus.

  LoisLane- I'm actually very concerned about my health problems and do really feel I may die soon. This year.

  I don't have the strength or memory to write much, so I would not attempt to, and I really would not know what to say!

  I guess most of my posts are very serious, but its due to my circumstances, health and lack of energy.

  Jesus was not a descendant of King David through SOLOMON who the Messiah will be.

  Jesus descended through Shealtiel whose line was cursed, Messiah can not come from that line.

  Can God Really see the Future?

  by Randomthoughts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is regarding the garden of eden/apple dispute.. if the all knowing, all powerful god sees/knows the future then surely the angels (that he created) should know the god knows the future.. now god knows that humans cannot rule themselves, hence the angels should also know this 'fact'.. why does he need to prove this point to the angels (as is taught by the wt)?.

  do the angels doubt the almighty god or do they have a reason not to trust or believe him?.

  God never gave humans the chance to truly rule themselves according to the jw view.

  He has interfered numerous times and has sent Satan & the demons to earth, and allowed Satan to become Earth's ruler.

  He caused humans to become imperfect and die, thus the question of rulership will never be truly answered:

  Could perfect, sinless humans with everlasting life, with no intereference by God, satan, demons, angels, nothing, rule themselves successfully?

  God does not WANT humans to rule, HE wants to rule over them.
