The small part of the presidents speech I heard made it sound like the USA was the only country that fought in ww2.

Sensitive information about one of my female relatives was given to her family by a self righteous young witness who worked at the clinic she visited.
Her family threatened legal action against the clinic worker and the clinic if she persisted and the problem went away.
It would be interesting to see how far the org would distance itself from a health worker who decided to turn in a fellow believer. I'm pretty sure the org would try to wash its hands of any involvement.

Should Reparations Be Given To Relatives of Slaves?

.
what do you think about dispensing reparations?

During the period of slavery, life was tougher and crime and punishment was brutal for everyone.
Children were still being hung for crimes in England, flogging was a common sentence.
All of us have ancestors that have suffered atrocities because of ethnic differences or religious differences. It's not fair and it's immoral. I guess the question is, at what point does it become unhealthy and unhelpful to keep rehashing the past?

Thanks, I see what you mean.
👍
With all the downsizing, it wouldn't be a stretch to no longer see a hard copy of the Wt.

Hi Blondie,
Nathan said in his post there are rumours of the watchtower and awake magazines being made obsolete after a century.
Just wondering where that rumour came from.

Has God broken the Sabbath?
by joey jojo inin the early 80's, i remember a district convention drama that featured the story of the guy that was stoned to death for gathering sticks on the sabbath.
i thought it was kind of harsh because it wasn't like the guy was doing any real work like building anything, or plowing a field.. if we accept that god is perfect, then surely he would set the example of keeping the sabbath in a perfect way.
the word sabbath means inactivity as far as i can tell and this leads me to ask a question about things god has done during his rest day that seem like work to me.. .

Hey TD.
I personally don't see new language as an act of creation because languages evolve anyway. Although if God caused it to happen directly, as in the case of the tower of Babel, then you are right, it seems like another account of God causing something to occur which would be incompatible with a day of rest.
What I find frustrating is how rest is interpreted. You mention resting from creating things is a way various groups interpret a Sabbath, yet as Diogenesister pointed out, gathering sticks hardly qualifies as creating anything.
On the surface it seems that humans are being held to a higher standard than God when it comes to observing a rest day.

From what I have read about the way Jews follow the Sabbath, it is expressly forbidden to sew, skin an animal or cut patterns, yet God apparently did just that for Adam and Eve.
The scripture in Genesis states God made the garments, not anyone else.
I have also heard a lot said from JW land and other Christian commentators, about how God must have changed something in the chemistry of animals because before sin entered the world they were all vegetarians.
Once you factor in all the miracles attributed to God, as well as all the other stuff, it seems like a lot of work for a day of inactivity.
I wonder how many followers of the old testament have been, or still are being persecuted for not following the Sabbath to the letter?
