Kingdom Halls open to hurricane flood victims??

by Sugar Shane in

there are other threads dealing with jws actions, or non-actions in response to the houston flooding.

i started this thread to find out specifically if kingdom halls, or assembly halls are being used to help victims.

not just other jws, but innocent victims of all walks: men, women, children & pets.

So far 4,141 publishers were displaced from their homes. It was mentioned that the publisher cooperated with the order to evacuate, Guess all that info about Go Bags was useful.

Imagine If The World Was Ruled By Just One Government/Kingdom

by Brokeback Watchtower in

first off to go would be information deemed unfit for heavily indoctrinated subjects.

no rival governments less freedom granted by existing ruler, just cogs in a huge fucking wheel would humans become.. no appealing to the masses of the benefits of their government and the horrors of the opposition.

they are all this generation knows.

If we leave up to man to rule, we'll become killed off by a Nuclear Holocost.

I wanted to use it when I gave my public talk. But it just didn't fit. It's still one of my favourites.

Russian Ban upheld - JWs lose appeal

by OrphanCrow in

jw
friends

the supreme court of russia has rejected the jehovah's witnesses' appeal.. https://jw-russia.org/news/17071719-195.html.

july 17, 2017 the supreme court of russia has missed the last chance to restore law and justice for the 175,000 russian citizens professing the religion of jehovah's witnesses.

it took less than an hour of the meeting a panel of three supreme court judges, to leave unchanged the decision taken earlier by the judge yuri ivanenko, the liquidation and ban any and all registered organizations of the religion.since there is no more effective domestic remedies, the believers will appeal to the european court of human rights and other international organizations.. *note: as reported by the jworg source, jw-russia.org.

Well thank goodness the US government has confiscated those Russian properties from those Russian Diplomats.

If a person is transgender and gets saved what will they go to heaven as?

by Nikorasu95 in

jw
friends

i know this is a stupid question because the answer is obvious, but if a person was born a male and gets transgender surgery to turn into female will that person go to heaven as a male or female if they died saved?

i think they will go to heaven with the gender they were born with.

Quarterback

There must be women in the heaven's. It says that the Angels were "Harping in the clouds"

Walking The Line

by millie210 in

a recent comment in another thread inspired this one.. the comment concerned a family who owned a bakery and got counsel on the icing and cake decorations.. the cakes reflected the theme of worldly holidays of that time.. the family was told to sell the bakery.. then, we have the case of jalessa castillo, a young u.s. journalist who happens to also be a pioneer in a congregation.

she was covering religious topics (among other topics) and it seems that got stopped?.

at least when you look online now it is very hard to find her name in the byline of anything religious in nature.

I know some JW Business people who find religious requests to be a challenge. If the person is an employee, they don't do the religious requests i.e. birthdays, holidays, etc. They usually are respected. If the person is an owner, they just tell the customers that they don't offer that service. They are well liked in the community and they don't seem to have any problems.

I remember years ago when a brother owned a Video rental store and pressure came down on him regarding the rental of R rated content. He never had any privilleges in the cong because of that
