  Are You Afraid To Publicity Express Your Opinion?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  are you reticent to express your opinion when it comes to religion or politics?.

  when we were jws , we had to be so careful that we didn’t stumble anyone.

  are you comfortable saying that you don’t agree with someone or something even if it appears you are in the minority?

  France's Miviludes moved quietly

  by yalbmert99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a real conspiracy to destroy anti-cult miviludes in france.. therefore, a question arises that burns the lips of all our interlocutors: who wants the skin of the miviludes?

  "this disintegration of the fight against cults is carried by occult influences, at the highest level of the state.

  the miviludes disturbs, "says georges fenech.

  If anyone out there is like me - and I know I am - then you may be wondering, "What the HELL is a Miviludes?

  So, I consulted WIKIPEDIA, the intergalactic fountain of TRUTH...

  "The MIVILUDES (a French acronym for Mission interministérielle de vigilance et de lutte contre les dérives sectaires, i.e. Interministerial Mission of Vigilance and Combat against Sectarian Aberrations) is a French government agency, created by Presidential decree in 2002. It is charged with observing and analyzing the phenomenon of sectarian movements (cults), coordinating the government response, informing the public about the risks arising from sectarian aberrations and facilitating the implementation of actions to aid the victims."

  So there you have it. Seems to me like the French gov't wants to monitor minority religions.

  Frankly, since I am in the USA, it is none of my bee's-wax (that's an American idiom for "business, or "biz-niss," as it is usually pronounces over here.)

  Discuss, si-vous-plait...

  I dumped a LOT of stuff, then years later I bought a lot of it back for my "WT BS CDs" & "replica reprints" projects.

  Those were fun times. The "replica reprints" are still on LULU, if anyone is interested (they're not).

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the latest watchtower is now out and they make this statement -.

  7 during the thousand year rule of christ, all of jehovah’s earthly children will have to make changes to please him.

  so all of them will have true fellow feeling as they help the resurrected ones to combat sinful tendencies and to live by jehovah’s standards.
