  On the current migrant crisis

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  thousands of migrants have come to england this year, already beating last year's total.. some may have fled syria and other war-torn countries; others are economic migrants.. let me try to get my head around this phenomenon: migrants are relatively safe in france and other countries.

  they then leave the relative safety of continental europe and risk their lives and that of their children by crossing the english channel in rubber dinghies.

  there's just no fixing stupid, is there .

  My cousin works for the Texas Dept. of Public Safety (Highway Patrol) in Laredo, Tx. He told me yesterday that 35,000 illegals per month are pouring into Texas. Kids are being kidnapped throughout Mexico, Central and S. America and taking them to the US posing as a family because if you are caught here with a child, some how or another they go easier on you and let you stay if you are caught.
  
  It is a humanitarian disaster cause by the Democrats insatiable quest for power at all costs. It is the most selfish act of political action ever. They know that poor people will need social services and will vote (when they are able) for whomever gives them the most free stuff.
  
  The are not stupid, they are not libtards, they are not ignorant. This is part of a well organized plan and I hope people who love freedom will wake up.

  Catholicism and Orthodoxy- 2000 yrs of experience

  by Powermetal4ever in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  alright this has been in my brain lately: both catholic church and the orthodox church has been around for about 2000 years, shouldn't they know how to practice christendom correctly by now?

  jw hasn't even been around for 200 years and yet they say they do it right.

  so silly of them.

  And yet, the bible hasn't changed. I stopped looking at the contraptions men.

  Saved by grace through faith. It just doesn't get any easier than that. Christianity is about doing less from your own volition, not more.
  
  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship

  I personally don't mind people rejecting Christianity, it is their freedom to do so. I just like to remind people from time to time to make sure they understand what they are rejecting.

  The Manipulation of Information - Watchtower article on the dangers of propaganda

  by defender of truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hatred is a strong emotion exploited by propagandists.

  loaded language is particularly effective in triggering it.

  there seems to be a nearly endless supply of nasty words that promote and exploit hatred toward particular racial, ethnic, or religious groups.. so the sly art of propaganda can paralyze thought, prevent clear thinking and discernment, and condition individuals to act en masse.

  The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was a time of much warmer climate than today, lasting from roughly 900 to 1300 AD. - 400 years.

  What should politicians do in light of the global cooling that has happened since then?

  A. Reduce our freedoms?

  B. Increase our taxes?

  Splane`s war rhetoric

  by inbetween09 in

  the last talk o the saturday convention of jw was already often the centre of discussion, with all the name calling, logical fallacies and fear mongering.

  however, it was interesting, not just what and how splane adressed the matter, also what he actually had to admit.

  1) he had to admit, that the org is actually loosing court battles, left and right.

  With the WT its always Heads I win :

  JW's always boasted about winning court trials as proof of Gods backing, particularly in the 40`s, So, send us your families' inheritance.

  And, Tails you lose:

  JW's losing court trials is evidence that Satan's attack upon God's people has begun. The end is near. So, send us your families' inheritance.

  Suckers.

  NASA reports:

  According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.

  What should politicians do to help stop the build up of ice in Antartica? Reduce our freedoms? Tax us more?

  By the end of the first century, the canon or the Bible was complete (John writing the book of Revelation in A.D. 95-96). By the end of the second century, the early church fathers had quoted from all of the New Testament books. The Muratorian Fragment (A.D. 150-170) listed all the New Testament books, except for Matthew, Mark, Hebrews, James, 1-2 Peter and 3 John.

  The document is called a fragment because portions of the document have been torn off. The well known biblical scholar Westcott states that the missing books were probably included initially because the document is torn where they should have been listed. The Bible had already been established.

  In the years that followed, the authority of certain books was challenged. Church councils were convened to review and verify the contents of our Bible. The Council of Carthage (A.D. 397) is usually pointed to as the council which finally put the debates to rest.

  But unfortunately there will always be men who will challenge the authority of various books in the Bible.

  In other words, the bible and sound Christian doctrines are easily determined today and are rock solid. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

  Pick up a set on Ante Nicene Church Fathers if you want to check out what was going on directly after the apostles left the scene. This volume set lists the writings of church leaders until 325 AD. It's easy to read the writings of the leaders that the apostles trained, and who they trained and so forth.

  This is the set I bought: https://www.bonanza.com/listings/The-Ante-Nicene-Fathers-Complete-Set-Volumes-1-10-1989-USA-Roberts-Donaldson/1098748708?goog_pla=1

  These were the early church leaders and they were always writing to each out about some trouble or heretical group or person and seeking advice from each other. It is very easy to determine what they believed because of all these writings. "Against Heresies" is a major early work. There is some variation among the leaders as you would expect, but nothing of huge importance.
  
  They end up quoting all but a few verses of the NT while writing to each other. So, scriptures that are disputed by the critical text are easily checked out to see if / how the early church fathers quoted them or not. Basically, the early church leaders quoted scriptures consistent with the textus receptus - or KJV.
  
  Lots of groups of Christians were never part of the RCC or the Reformation. Most of their histories were wiped out as the RCC killed 50 million people in Europe over an 800 year period. I do not believe that a person can understand Christian history without learning about these remarkable groups and the methodical relentless persecution they endured for centuries.
  
  Here's the best work documenting these Christian groups IMO: https://www.amazon.com/Reformers-Their-Stepchildren-Dissent-Nonconformity/dp/1579789358
  
  Baptists do not claim to be protestant but claim decendency from these various groups.

  We all know the election was stolen from Trump

  And more importantly, stolen from the citizens of the USA.
