Biden Voter Fraud Admission

by Simon in

he's either admitting that they are relying on voter fraud, or he's a decrepit senile old fart who's unfit to be president.. which is it?.

did he also just claim that they committed fraud to get obama elected?

HELL------he just admitted what we all know----- that a body of people, more than likely, some influential members of government agencies -------or the military,------ is involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy, and Trump is in the way.

There is a war already in process in the United States and the majority of citizens can't see it. It is a war for control of the entire Country and it's military assets.

The Plot Against The President

by Simon in

really worthwhile documentary about how the previous outgoing us administration weaponized government agencies to interfere with the normal peaceful transfer of power, a fundamental bedrock of us democracy, and how it was found out.. it will explain what happened politically in the last 3-4 years and why.. https://patpmovie.com/.

Actually several of us in my area have been watching this very closely with Trump and those doing everything possible, legally and illegally to remove him but so far have failed.

How far will they go even if he wins to remove him????

Some of the older ones before i was even born have related that something similar happened during the John F. Kennedy Presidency. I've heard many stories but wasn't around so I have no opinon.

Historicity of the Prophets

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

for many years i have sought to understand how the bible was put together.. thus my name on here.

i started out more or less in line with what many schoolars felt in both old and new testament studies and over the year my notes have flucuated with dates and probable authorship.

a few years ago i slid into minimalist or copenhagen school understanding of the texs but still retained a slight historicity of the prophets.

pistolpete

I threw all my bibles a long time ago when it finally dawn on me that studying the events and persons in the bible was like studying Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Did Harry belong to the house of Gryffindor---or was it the house of Slytherin. Who was the girl that committed adultery, I think it was Hermione.

Finding a mate

by MissMary in

so here i am 44 yr old divorced and free to remarry jw sister....first time single since i was 19. but guess what no single brothers in my area.

i’ve tried those stupid jw dating sites and still no luck.

oh yes there are tons of single brothers, but guess what...they all expect a hot barbie to come running into their life.

Hi MissMary--and welcome.

I'm sorry you now find yourself in this situation. It's not easy being single after being married some 25 years. I have lot's of friends who are going through the same thing you are and they are not or have ever been JWs.

Yet they seem to have the same difficulty in finding a soulmate, and their field for looking is a lot larger than someone who can only look within the Watchtower religion. My perspective on this phenomena, is that the difficulty of finding someone in latter years, is due to the fact that as people grow, they are more aware of what they want, and those wants narrow the field.

Also, “sometimes “ our expectations don't match reality anymore, and the person doesn't realize it. (Your story of the LARGE men expect young and skinny----is a good example of this) I've seen this actually not long ago. An acquaintance of mine 60 plus years old fell for a 20 some year old gorgeous girl, who was really nice to him.) I know this girl and it just happens that her personality is such---- that she is nice to EVERYONE. He misinterpreted her being nice ---to her being interested in him. I tried to reason with him but, it was impossible.

Then one day he went over to where she worked to give her some flowers, and was shocked to the core that she was kissing this 20 year old, tall, muscular, good looking young man with long locks of blond hair that befits a Man-God.

He was devastated

Here is what happens in real life that we sometime fail to see.

When you are young, say 19, and marry, in youth, (Strong sexual desire, ignorance of the real world, getting busy raising kids) this actually helps the couple stay together through thick and thin) and before you know it, 20-30-40 years pass by and if the couple hangs in there, they stay together for a lifetime.

But sometimes things get in the way, someone messes up, and the other is unable to forgive, and then both find themselves single again at a later age, some in their late 20s other in their late 50s- it just depends I guess.

My suggestion is that you WIDEN YOUR FIELD. Don’t just look within the Watchtower Organization. It’s difficult enough when you have the whole world as your field of prospective mates, I can’t imagine trying to find a soulmate in a tiny world where the image of a good wife is characterized as someone who is (Young-beautiful-skinny-pioneer-in subjection to her husband)

I think instead you should look for someone who wants to be your “Closest Friend, -----admires your personality, ----loves your inner qualities----and you should do the same.

In the meantime, you should use use your time to get to know yourself. Your were probably to busy in your marriage to do that before. Read books to learn about human nature---positive books- not books that degrade men—or women.

One more thing, Life is pretty awesome, whether you are married or single. But I think our culture has made it seem that if you are not married, you are a loser. I know “Especially” the WT religion is notorious for doing this inadvertently.

But I know this is not true because I have tons of friends who have never been married but are very happy. They don’t rule out marriage, in fact, they date a lot and enjoy dating, and if it doesn’t work out, they remain Close friends with most of those they date, --but they just haven’t found that person that’s just right, ---to spend the rest of their life with. Nothing wrong with that.

You should date as much as possible before you settle down for the rest of your life. Get to know people, find out what kind of persons they turned out to be.

Good luck to you and I hope you fine that soulmate willing to share his life with you.

Sin came into the world - not true?

by menrov in

matt 5:27 “you have heard that it was said, ‘do not commit adultery.’ 28 but i say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.. this means that even before someone commits an act that is considered a sin or wrong but does think about it, that person actually already committed that sin or trespassing.. now read this:.

rom.

5:12 so then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned— 13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.. this means that there was already sin in the world before adam and eve actually ate the fruit.

For instance, adultery to the ancient Hebrews was only if a man, married or single, had sex with a married woman. If a married man had sex with a single woman that was not adultery. That was not a sin to them.

And it wasn't a sin if a KING had 1000 wives and concubines.

Disfellowhipped for not wearing facemask?

by Anna Marina in

yup - person has done nothing wrong.

but they have called a judicial and from what i can tell refusing to wear a facemask is bothering them more than the person not turning up.. so is this new light?

if you have been called to a judical please remember to stay safe and wear your personal protective equimpment.

The person that told you that needs some psychiatric help, point them in the right direction.

Elders are not that asinine.

Will the Republicans finally file criminal charges. What else do they need?

by pistolpete in

the director of nation intelligence reveals startling new details about the russian collusion hoax against president donald trump.

as one america’s pearson sharp explains,.

senior obama officials were working hard to cover up--hillary clinton’s email scandal and undermine the 2016 election.. .

pistolpete

I believe Hilary is in for prison time.

If that was to happen, then the entire Country would starting turning around again to what is normal.

Because following Hillary's arrest, the DOJ would then go down the line and start arresting those whose aim is to cause destruction to the Country. Next would be the squad Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley,Ilhan Omar, then all the rioters who have caused so much destruction and havoc, then all the Governors, and Attorney generals who are breaking the law, then all the Celebrities who are inciting rebellion, then the main stream media that is bent on causing panic in the entire country.

It's not gonna happen. The Republicans have always been weak when it comes to enforcing the Law.

In one of Bart Ehrman books, he mentions that it is very likely that many of the New Testament books, were written by people who never personally met Jesus. For example Paul never actually met Jesus, never hung around Jesus or was around during his lectures. So the sayings about sin in the book of Romans were probably conjured up and written by people who had no idea what Jesus actually taught.

Imagine if Jesus was resurrected today, he would probably be totally surprise and astonished that he was deified as God's son, or God himself after his death. The evidence seems to indicate that Jesus was actually preaching damaging rhetoric against the Roman empire, which is why the Romans crucified him as a sedition-est Which is why Pilate asked him; ARE YOU THE KING OF THE JEWS?.
