ok, so my mom sneaked a wt literature into my kids pack when they stayed at her home on tuesday, the one that says that satan is the ruler of this world.. so my little one sofia shows me and says, "see daddy, satan is ruling this world".. i take a look and read the literature and i tell me little one that, "no honey, while satan can and does try to influence us and succeds many times, god is all powerful and god gace to his son jesus, all the authority in heaven and on earth" and i showed her the passage from matthew.. a also told her that, why we must never forget that satan tempts us that he has no power over us, other then the power we give him, jesus is our lord and all power rests in him.. of course, today when i dropped her and her little sister at my mom's ( she likes them to come over on tuesday's and thursday's), she was ready to ask if i had read that pamphlet, which i said i did, and of course she replied how satan is the ruler of this system of things.. i countered that i know only one lord and that is the son of god jesus, and i know only one god and no one else rules above them and asked my mom where in the bible does it show jesus and god subject to satan.. as you can imagine, that went over well !!.
lmao !.
i bring this up because of the thread on john 12:31.. .
It's obvious to me that there are several connotations given to the word "world" in Scripture.
The question is, what "world" does Satan have sway over? I would say it is anything that
is opposed to God. But, God has his own world (anything not opposed to himself)(Rev. 15:2-4)
"God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish
but have eternal life." John 3:16 So, the question is: who's world do I choose?

Well, Acts22:27 states that a military commander bought his Roman citizenship, whereas Paul claims to have been born
into it.

To those who claim that the U.N. is a "superior authority," I say baloney! The U.N. is an organization, not a government. The only power it has is that given to it by its member nations. And they are not willing to give up their sovereignty, so it is hardly a world power. Paul appealed to Rome because he was a Roman citizen. Citizens of the U.S., Britain, or elsewhere are not citizens of the U.N. I certainly don't directly pay taxes to it. Do you? If the U.S. pays taxes to it, I have no control over that, anymore than I have over tax money that goes to the war effort. Do you have dual citizenship Renaia? What does the U.N. do for you? Does it make the laws for the nation you live in--laws that you must abide by? I personally am a subject of the U.S. but I am not subject to the U.N. Are you?

i do a lot of ebaying.. last week i sold a spanish edition of "hymns of millennial dawn".
it was not an original, in fact i don't believe "hymns of millennial dawn" was ever published by the societyt in spanish.
anyways, the auction title said "hymn of millennial dawn -spanish ed.
I've bought lots of stuff on e-bay and so far I have had a good experience. Of course, I've only bought 3 books from the JW section: 2 written by David Reed and the other by Walter Martin: The Kingom of the Cults.
anybody of you got the chance to visit russels pyramid grave?.
is it true it is at freemasons cemetery?.
is it public, or only freemasons are buried there?.
There is some great information at this link, which might help dispell some of the
misinformation about the pyramid on the internet. You will especially want to scroll down to the post by Angry XJW.
It's the Souvenir Report of the Bible Student's Convention in 1919. The pyramid is dedicated, not only to Charles
Taze Russell but the Watchtower Society as well, because that's where the Bethel family was to be buried.

I find it interesting that the original intention was for Rutherford to be buried there also, but that did not happen.

it is my understanding that at one point, witnesses were taught that after armeggedon black people would be turned white, since they were inferior.
so when was this teaching rescended, and what was the progression of minorities the borg?.
Snowbird,
Did he say when and where this Branch Office was located? Thanks.
we know the wts says not going on the internet is for their protection.
yea yea i know.
we all know they just don't want jws to read all the real truth about the wts.. but what if there is another reason?
They don't want JWs off the net completely. They want you to stay off sites like that of apostates and that contain pornography.
They think that their official site is sufficient for JWs. No need for other pro JW's sites like that of 3d Witness or Jehovah's Witnesses
United.
