jehovah himself gives the saying "the women telling the good news are a large army" psalms 68 : 11 coupled with the fact that a good portion of women partake of the emblems and wine at the annual memorial celebration.. identifying themselves as part of the 144000 that are taken from the earth to rule with christ jesus in the heavens.. isn`t it about time they were recognized for their contributions and given the fact that gods word the bible clearly states that 144,000 of anointed are to be taken from the earth which many women are a large part of.?.
revelation ch.14 :4 could be argued that they are not lesbians { "these are the ones who do not defile themselves with women ,in fact they are virgins, etc,etc.}.
i wonder just how many men who claim to be of the anointed have not defiled themselves with women and are virgins.?.
New light ! We're not taking literally Ephesians 6:5 when it says "slaves be obedient to your masters" so we could leave at the side the respected ' opinion' of Apostle Paul. Beside there are many examples in the Bible about women blessed with high responsibilities like prophetesses, judges, ministers....
They have the perfect excuse but choose instead to keep half of the RF in the shadows....
my first thought when seeing this headline was; "how could trump be right?
" even though i am registered as a republican, i don't really care for trump.
after reading the article, i still don't care for trump, but i had never considered many of the points brought out by the article.. january 17, 2018. what i learned in the peace corps in africa: trump is right.
I don't know but before First World countries give a ton of money as developing aid or whatever they should check about corruption. It's a big businesses, most of the money ends back in fat third world politicians bank accounts in the first world or end being spent in luxury good or weapons.
i hope hollywood helps make her the democratic nominee.
she sounds like she’s testing out the waters.
good luck ms. winfrey.
Oprah for President is the best example ever about how much far the liberals are from reality. Good luck with that.
is it because we were in the cult watchtower compound that we talk about being ex-jw's when we stop being active?
i have never heard anyone say that i was an ex-catholic or an ex-lutheran or an ex-baptist.
they just stop going to their church and don't talk about it.. years after not stepping inside a kingdom hell, many of us still have to talk about being ex-jw's.
I think as a ex - JW , people in this forum are a little more interested in religious things besides 'the believe it or not', kinda sort of JW 'aficionados'. And yes, I think there are people here that would go back to the Borg happyl if they make a lot of changes to become mainstream. Of course I've seen people in this forum just say 'sayonara' and moving on. Happy good year.
l have researched this subject and come to the conclusion that no we didn't.what do others think?.
I saw Elvid yesterday....and he said to me: "I was visiting the moon for a couple of years".
the wtbts has finally decided to join the rest of us in the 21st century and has begun rebranding.
they've dropped the iconic watchtower sign from their heaquarters, and it's only a matter of time till they drop the now embarrassing watchtower name completely; a name synonymous with failure on the one hand and concentration camps on the other.. the organisation will soon be known solely as jw.org, bringing them right up-to-date with the web 2.0 revolution of 15 years ago, and making them the only company still to use a full web address as their main identifier, very forward-thinking of them.. it's inevitable that they'll gradually rebrand everything.
what methods do you think they'll go with?
Speaking about giving ideas for free....there's gonna be a monthly pot-luck for each congregation to improve social ties....and guess what? New light...all the attendees at the Memorial are now the "great crowd". Also you go to the house to house whenever you want, no more compulsory time. Pipe dreams.
my sister sent me this youtube.
in it are witnesses waving their phone lights and dancing in the aisles.
sorry if this vid has been posted before.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k7iw-zisgw.
It remainds me about 'evangelicals' in Latin America....should've done thirty years ago, singing was extremely boring then....Mambo

Russia is trying to exact revenge against the U.S. seizing W.T. property....the Borg is everthing except political....barking at the wrong tree...so sad. The thing is now is the W.T....and tomorrow....everybody that doesn't fit the regime.
my brother has been talking about the earth being flat and some big conspiracy going on to make people beieve otherwise.
what are people's thoughts on this?.
Yeah yeah....Earth is flat, and you know what, there are not stars whatsoever too, those shinning thing at night are little holes in the dome above earth....because outside the dome it is the heavens !
i think it is inevitable.
i don't worry about it but it just seems that the human race is going down a road that they can't make a turn off.. they are probing/discovering how the human mind works and produces intelligence down to the individual molecule.
now with the invention of the super quantum computer soon we will be able to build even better artificial intelligence greater than our own, so it will be easily able to out smart us because will we be a bunch of dumb apes first discovering how to make fire in it's eyes.. it will have it's own different agendas than us humans.
For example, Putin hint AI maybe the key to Russia in beating US in defense despite budget gap....how humanity could be sure that the dog is on leash? It's something to be discussed now.
