Jehovah's Witnesses and Religious Tourism in Africa
by OrphanCrow inabout a month ago, i had started a thread about a video the wts had released of an interview with the minister of tourism for zimbabwe.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/430330002/interview-zimbabwes-minister-tourism-jw-hq.
the video in that thread is no longer online.. the following article highlights the relgious tourism that the jehovah's witnesses have brought to africa.. african govts must prioritise tourism for economic growth: mzembi.
african governments must prioritise tourism development to stimulate economic growth and development on the continent, tourism minister walter mzembi has said.mzembi, who is also united nations world tourism organisation (unwto) chairman of the commission for africa, said tourism had long-term intangible benefits that came with enhancing destinations amid reports that zimbabwes projected 5,1% tourism growth for 2015/16 was ahead of all other economic sectors.. he advocated for the scaling up of religious tourism, telling the audience that jehovahs witnesses who thronged zimbabwe for their first international convention in the country had set a fine example which should be followed by all church organisations.. jehovahs witnesses held their international convention in harare.

Touche OC. Even Neville Chamberlain thought Hitler was a "Decent and reasonable" man. That old adage "the devil looks after his own" could certainly prove a point for Mugabe and his seemingly endless rule. -

What I do find hilarious about this is Mugabe's old ZIPRA party used to persecute Christians, particularly JW's. Africa is not without a sense of irony. -

Sounds exactly like Jim Jone's last few sermons before declaring that chugging cyanide was the way to escape to god's kingdom. I kid you not, almost identicle words if you replace "Assyrians" with "Satan's persecutors". -

Interesting article and post OC, thank you. Zimbabwe is in such serious financial ruin thanks to Robert Mugabe's dictatorship I'm not surprised they're grasping at every opportunity to bring in foreign money - particularly Euros and US dollars.
Zim is a spectacularly beautiful country in dire need of foreign investment but thanks to Madman Mugabe, that likely won't happen for some time.

That's it! The Jesus stories are most reasonably explained as myth. History makes this obvious.
by Island Man ina careful examination of the historical pagan religious context existing at the time of the genesis of christianity leads any reasonable person to conclude that jesus is just another one of several similar myths.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn7teoa9ark.

To me whether Jesus existed or not is irrelevant with regard to the premise of Christianity claiming him to be the son of god. It's whether or not he WAS the son of god or performed his so-called miracles which matter and to this day there is still no evidence of either, nor will there ever be. -

Do you feel embarrsed?
by The Rebel inwhen you look through a keyhole, and see the person you once were?.
as for myself, i am just pleased i have mended my ways.
i realise ( now) my time as a witness was a keyhole that looked in to the ground, and licked the elders arse.

Yes. Before I met my wife I was THE example of an asshole. I was an immature prick who ran around constantly trying to prove my "masculinity" and how tough I was. It took her to show me I was just an overgrown child. Now I just have to keep working on being the "bull in the China shop". -

Im always afraid
by BlackWolf inpeople tell me all sorts of different opinions.
i seem to feel a constant feeling of dread and anxiety.
the possibility of god existing scares me but so does the possibility of him not.

Here is how I look at it. Logically, did the boogeyman in your closet turn out to exist once you Were older than twelve? -

Where is this evil spirit from?
by iconoclastic inmany believe in the wonderful drama of evolution (life evolving from non-life through flower/fruit beautiful trees and variety of species, reaching homo sapiens and finally returning to non-life) through various processes such as mutation, adaptation, natural selection .... yet there is an evil spirit working against the very spirit of the evolution, producing ironical results in too large a scale.
to mention a few:.
1) the really superior beings are kept sidelined (http://thoughtcatalog.com/lorenzo-jensen-iii/2015/07/17-ways-that-science-proves-women-are-superior-to-men/).

Saintbertholdt:
Good point. You like others are way more knowledgeable than myself on evolution so yes, I enjoy every opportunity to learn from guys like you and Cofty, even if it is on an Icon thread. The books Cofty recommended to me have been incredible learning experiences but I still have a long way to go and enjoying the journey.

Looks like a zombie cart to me. Zoom in on the pic and look at those publications, no doubt they are bOrg litter. Hopefully it was someone who simply refused to have that shit in their neighborhood and wrecked it.
