  Christian Church Destroyed by ISIS Rebuilt by Muslim Residents

  by cofty in

  2. current

  muslims in mosul have helped rebuild a christian church that had been destroyed by isis.. iraq has one of the smallest, but oldest, christian communities in the world but isis oversaw the destruction of iraqi churches, books and christian spaces during their occupation of the city..... it's heartening to see both the military defeat of isis in mosul and the desire for normal relationships shown by the inter-faith community.. there is hope..

  That article is all about " peacefully coexisting"

  Why should it be otherwise?

  Would any of us ever say to someone " your father was an alcoholic, and your whole family is dysfunctional. Therefore you are defective and abnormal?" It's absurd. So isn't it wonderful when people take a more " sober" view, in the inner faith community. Particularly when these people do more than simply " peacefully coexist" . They also become proactive in the community, thus demonstrating what " peacefully coexisting" in a multi culture society requires.

  O.P. " Why does no one ask questions?

  My guess is that questions exist, but the answers to those " questions" have terrible consequences on both sides.

  not sure what happened but my O.P sent before I wrote it. ( I guess that was the miracle)

  My O.P is I think it wonderful people from different cultures get on. For example I don't usually get on a buss, but having recently done so I found it a wonderful experience. The buss driver was a " Shiek" and I noted he said " Hello my lovely" to an elderly passenger. She laughed and I thought maybe I should take a greater interest in this buss driver.

  What a man, this buss driver " is" Because I noted he made everybody that boarded his buss feel welcome. Then I thought of his wage and felt guilty, that if he supported Watford football Club, and wanted to take his son to a match it would take him, the best part of a days wages.

  My point is, I think it a miracle that we have people who have jobs, and make those jobs about people, more than complaining about their " low paid jobs" And when people have this love, I think it's bigger than religion, bigger than winning the lottery....and something I respect.

  I am 100% sure, " The finished mystery" will never be back in print. This is the book that was written by " Jesus" and started the religion. ummm maybe Jesus has many great qualities, but as a writer of books he sucked. That would explain it.

  Jehovah /Yahweh which is it ? or something else yet to be revealed.

  by smiddy in

  2. beliefs

  if jehovahs witnesses are using the wrong name of god "jehovah" how would that affect your worship ?.

  2. if yahweh is the more correct name of god of the bible how does that affect your worship ?.

  3.jehovahs witnesses put great emphasis on gods name ,sanctifying it treating it as "holy" and that jehovahs witnesses are to make it known in all the earth .

  I believe J.W's will answer the correct pronunciation isn't important. They will say what Jehover / Yahweh finds offensive is being referred to as God.

  And let's face it showing the name Jehover in the " King James" Bible, is a great selling point.

  What Kind Of Psychological Conseling Do You Think Jehovah's Witnesses Need When They Find Out It's Not The Truth?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  i personally would like to see they get the very best but haven't a clue how to do it what are your benevolent words of wisdom, should a person do a deep research on his own a kind of self medication or should they brush up on some psychology,, who should they trust because after you leave you got big trust issues.. i don't know about you but to me it was a real shocker, i was totally into getting their worthless bull shit out of my head.

  i choose the self medicate path and did as must research as time would allow,, science was a biggie for me, it was enjoyable learning to get so much bull shit out of my head..

  " Misery loves company" So I think if we had a community of ex-jehovers witness meet up places, that would be great. This should be possible, because in the not so far away distant future, ex-witnesses may well outnumber the members.

  Not school as I remember it. Headmasters with a cane, and fearful teachers. Our games teacher was an absolute bully, fortunately for me I was good at football.

  However my son is getting a fantastic education, and he is treated with respect by the teachers. On Friday the class is spending the night camping.

  As for my grandchildren going to school in this system of things. That would be fantastic, and it's a lovely thought " Grandchildren" Now that would be something.
