this is from the golden age, august 5, 1931. it is related to an article denouncing the entire medical profession.
i wonder if they meant to say the f word but didn´t dare to.. fudge!.

There's a typo in this Golden Age snippet. The LEFT-DOUBLE-TOP-QUOTATION-MARK is missing before:
children of the Sun
It should rather read:
[...] These readers know the truth about the politicians, who also descended from the same line of “children of God” or “children of the Sun” [...]
Typos are extremely rare in Watchtower literature. So, I chime in with Jhine, asking -- Is it verified and correct?
i know that a lot of the people on here have turned their backs on the idea of a deity deciding that god does not exist.
but what about the unseen spirit world generally such as poltergeists, jinns, voodoo, etc.
if you have become agnostic, atheist, or just don't care since leaving, do you think that there are spirits out there or have you decided that is also hokum?
Ex-JW Annoni Mowse on "Superstition, Demons & Jehovah's Witnesses"
in the real world, very few parents would disown their own children simply because they read a magazine that told them to do it.
very few people would forever completely ignore their own parents because an elder got up on a platform one day and announced that they no longer follow the same religion as you.. in the real world it just doesn't happen.
and yet, for 8 million jehovah's witnesses it's very a normal part of their world to treat "other people" differently than they'd treat each other.
Tameria2001 — […] my JW mother [...] said if it was not for the law of the land, and she would go away for murder, she would have no problem stoning me to death. This goes way beyond not being invited to the family BBQ.
This wraps it up for me. We don't have to look into history, we have just to look into any totalitarian regime. Add religion to it and you get theocracy with, for example, all the atrocities prescribed by Sharia Law in Saudi Arabia.
Imagine the WTorg could legally get away with applying the Mosaic Law. At conventions we'd have attendance skyrocketing for the Disfellowstoning Event. Performed only by Elders and, maybe, Ministerial servants, who would have to have earned that priviledge, of course. Sorry for your mom, Tameria2001, but lacking the anatomical God-Antenna she'd never be allowed to participate in the execution service.
this is such an important issue, more and more people are succumbing to what must be some viral outbreak wreaking havoc in the world.. i'm talking about unnecessary punctuation.. it's easy to become infected.
you want to write something and add some emphasis so you add an exclamation mark to make it "important!
" but dang, it's not important enough is it??
Punctuation matters:
"Let's eat Grandma." — "Let's eat, Grandma."
Correct punctuation saves lives.
A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. "Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. "I am a panda," he says, at the door. "Look it up." The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
So, punctuation really does matter, even if it is only occasionally a matter of life and death.
This book is fun and informative. I read it cover to cover in a day; and then I did it again ...
my dad asked the co about this one.
mat 27:52-53. and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, .
and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
bsmart — Thanks for "resurrecting" this thread. I laughed myself to tears, absolutely hilarious.
i’ll start it off.
boy did we get drunk last night.
I'll not be able to join the FS next Saturday; I've planned to go to the blood donation centre.
i am sure that many have already seen this, but its worth sharing again:.

Hi Sacha
(I couldn't read the text, so I uploaded the chart in a higher resolution.)
The detachment from reality is stunning. This chart makes three (!) references to supernatural interference with the physical world. That's the way psychotics argue in order to maintain their delusions.
the bodily resurrection of the lord jesus is pivotal for the christian faith, yet the jehovah's witnesses do not believe that the lord jesus christ rose again in a body.
the watchtower have taught their followers that the lord jesus christ rose again as a spirit creature, and that his body was disposed, disintegrated and dissolved by god the father.
in this video, i explain the differences to what the jehovah's witnesses teach and what god's word teaches, showing without any dispute that the watchtower organisation is false, and that we can always rely on god's word.
In case anyone could forget, 1 Cor 15 is the prophetic guide to resurrection: who, when, how, and in which order ...
fancy a mind trick?
here’s 2 for the price of 1; if you only want watchtower’s trick, skip to the next paragraph.
you may need to write this down or use a calculator:.
9th letter = i
Only bible book beginning with "i" is Isaiah. "Isaiah" ends on a h. h is the 8th letter of the alphabet.
Isaiah 8:1 says
Young's Literal Translation
"And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Take to thee a great tablet, and write upon
it with a graving tool of man, To haste spoil, enjoy prey.' "
So, Maher-shalal-hash-baz means "haste spoil, enjoy prey". That's a strange name to give to your child.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clbnspvradui have seen the documents myself but i am not able to share them without jeopardizing the source.the rtl broadcasting company has spoken to the orginal source and we know that these documents are real..
Oh yes, Listener, I am all for protecting the child abusers -
But only one episode of 'Caleb and Sophia' daily: It should be a bit of a punishment, after all.
