it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.
for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.
very interesting times!
Is there any proof that it was announced that Russia is the "king of the North" as stated by the OP?
I haven't heard it anywhere else.
Growing up in the 70s it was the USSR which we Americans called Russia. So it would be a return to a previously held view.
(sigh) Cult... cult...CULT!

my still in wife informed me this morning that she must be on time to the meeting as they are locking the door when it starts now.. i said that's crazy.
she said it's because of the times we are living in.. we live in a rural area and crime isn't terrible though it's worse than it used to be.. i told her if that's the way it is then why bother leaving the house at all?.
she said they are just trying to be safe.. is this a thing now?
Imagine if a church locked it's doors.
Imagine it happened a few years in the past and all the head wagging the Jay Dubs would be doing.
I guess Jah's Holy Spirit isn't enough to protect his congregation anymore.
If they are worried about governments clamping down on them, arent they supposed to go after Babylon the Great first? Hmmm.
I am not comfortable being locked in a building.

Something about this strikes me as very VERY bad.
i am shaking all over right now.
i think it's worse that the bunker video.. i used to think there was no way that these people would actually "drink the cool aid" if you get my drift, but seeing this video i am now not sure it could never happen.. having a wife who i love dearly trapped in this cult is really freaking me out right now...

jw.org believes that jesus is not god but a separate entity.
let's go with that for the time being.
in the referenced scriptures the writer of hebrews says that jesus "sustains all things by the word of his power" and has been "appointed heir of all things".

In the referenced scriptures the writer of Hebrews says that Jesus
"sustains all things by the word of his power" and has been "appointed
heir of all things".
So, even if Jesus IS NOT part of a Trinity, he is the heir. Just like
Queen Elizabeth was the heir to the throne from her Father King George
VI.
Once he is "heir of all things", all things become HIS.
He also sustains "all things" through his word.
In light of these scriptures alone it seems to me he deserves our worship.
He certainly deserves more than JW.ORG are inclined to give him.

The Guardian is asking for victims to tell their story.
Looks like they will publish them...

it's that time of year again.. trying to decide if i should or shouldn't.
:-).
What is the memorial?
The memorial is where JWs celebrate the fact that Jesus died.
Whereas most of Christianity celebrates his ressurection.
The observance consists of a talk followed by a passing of the bread and wine. Only those that are "going to heaven" are supposed to partake. The rest just observe.
The problem I have ...among a ton of others, is that I can't find any scripture that says ONLY 144,000 are supposed to partake.
If it's NOT in the bible and people pass on the emblems, are they symbolicly rejecting Jesus sacrifice?
