  Afghanistan-Kabul falls to Taliban - U.S. Embassy staff evacuated by helicopter

  by fulltimestudent in

  2. friends

  in a scene reminiscent of the fall of saigon, the usa embassy staff have been evacuated by helicopter.. for a third time in asia ( a fourth, if you count usa supported chiang kai shek's defeat in mainland china) usa supported forces have been defeated.

  more than 1 trillion dollars wasted and a huge deathtoll (both sides) afghanistan is back to where it started,.

  will the taliban behave differently this time ?

  ABC host George Stephanopoulos asked, “[W]e’ve all seen the pictures. We’ve seen those hundreds of people packed into a C-17. We’ve seen Afghans falling –.”

  Biden then cut in to state, “That was four days ago, five days ago.”

  Stephanopoulos then asked, “What did you think when you first saw those pictures?”

  Biden answered, “What I thought was, we have to gain control of this. We have to move this more quickly. We have to move in a way in which we can take control of that airport. And we did."

  Anyone else confused by his statements? Poor Joe. ”

  Joe, he was 48. He had been disfellowshipped twice and had recently decided to go back about 4 months ago. When he was not reinstated he kind of went off the deep end...

  That's just terrible. I don't know even what to say. I can only say those elders have blood on their hands and do not understand what GRACE means.

  If all GB members died at once?

  by Jofi_Wofo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't suppose anyone knows for sure, but do we have any kind of hint of what would happen if all of the governing body members died at the same time- such that nobody was left to appoint successors?

  in lieu of any solid evidence, i'd also be interested in hearing some speculation based on what we already know about the organizational structure.. it would certainly throw a wrench in either the teaching that the faithful and discreet slave will survive into the great tribulation and/or the implied doctrine that the the gb succession arrangement is justifiable biblically.

  let me firmly disclaim any implication that i am encouraging violence or wishing death on the governing body.

  Silent Buddah,

  That is a sad story. Was your friend DF'd, active JW, fading JW ?
  
  Can you tell us a little about where he was at regarding the organization?

  Why is there a large cat in this picture?

  by slimboyfat in

  i wonder if anyone can explain this.

  ezekiel 34:25 says .

  and i will make a covenant of peace with them, and i will rid the land of vicious wild beasts, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests.. the land is said to be rid of vicious wild beasts, so why does the watchtower picture in the new pure worship book show a large predatory cat on the tree in this picture?

  Am I the only one who sees the legs coming out of an opening in the ground beneath her?
  
  I also see a half face to the left of the tree.... wearing sunglasses.
  
  This looks very occultic.

  It looks like the WT artist went to a lot of trouble to try and conceal the panther, especially with the green spots that match the background. I had to really look for the cat.... wasn't immediately discernible.
  
  I can't imagine something like that appearing in a Christian journal... like Prophecy Watchers, Christianity Today or Creation magazine.

  Caption reads:

  "No danger will threaten your peace. You will be able to walk alone into the deepest forest, enjoying its majestic beauty, even sleeping there in perfect safety, sure to wake up rested and unharmed" !

  The watchtower is mocking JW members in my opinion. They want people to go to sleep - either while alive or dead. The message is pretty clear: Just trust them and you are guaranteed to wake up rested and unharmed. But Jesus said that the rich man lifted up his eyes in hell after he died.

  Very creepy & deceptive.

  It's VERY DIFFICULT for some JWs to accept the Truth-------But for other not so much------WHY?

  by pistolpete in

  what is it about some jws that they can't see the flip-flops of the wt's changing doctrine?.

  some of the flip-flops involved the death of many of it's members, and it was not even biblical based.

  yet for some reason they can't seem to grasp the significance of the matter.
