  Myth of 1914

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wt engages in history revisionism when insisting the world changed overnight in 1914. in fact the european power struggles that came to a head were centuries old.

  millions of lives had been lost in the wars of the 19th century, with the world a powder keg the years prior to the assassination of franz ferdinand in june 1914 which is often said, albeit rather arbitrarily, as the start of the war that escalated over the next 4 years into the great war.

  take a look at these two pages and ask if the wt's interpretation of history seems accurate to you.

  Does praying for “all those who are in positions of authority,” include the 'deep state' and all subsequent coverup's?

  definition of deep state.

  : an alleged secret network of especially nonelected government officials and sometimes private entities (as in the financial services and defense industries) operating extralegally to influence and enact government policy.

  the power of the deep state comes from experience, knowledge, relationships, insight, craft, special skills, traditions, and shared values.

  WT Ruining Members' Futures

  what i mean by the title of this thread is what has happened to a relative of mine, one who is really upset about this factor:.

  this relative is a distant cousin on my mother's side of the family.

  she studied as a child and got baptized at 14 1/2 years old.

  That's sad, so sad! But that's the result when we put our faith in men, as the GB always warned. They were always honest about this!

  it's becoming unbearable for me to attend another meeting.

  i dread coming to the weekly sunday public talk and watchtower study.

  the talks are ''repeats'' of a ''repeat.

  How I understand you! But, from my experience, the most important thing to do is to be true to yourself. If you aren't, bigger problems may arise with time. Enjoy your freedom!

  matthew 19:21. jesus said to him, “if you will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.”.

  jw family tanzania - bukombe kingdom hall.

  nothing like attending your local kingdom hall in africa with dirt floors, tarps as a roof, brutal heat with no air-conditioning, and small wooden benches to sit on after a hard days work.. does the society help this congregation in africa with a suitable kingdom hall that would have the local members more comfortable with these unbearable conditions?.

  And he also said that Christians should build beautiful retirement resorts for the GB and great cinema studios and forget about the poor, the sick, the widows and the elderly. That would be the way to distinguish the true Christians, wouldn't it?!
