Would it be ethical for another nation to supply weapons to anti-Trump protesters?

by fulltimestudent in

jw

the usa, claiming that the usa supports freedom, has often supported revolutionaries/dissenters in other countries.. some examples:.

currently, the syrian war commenced circa 2011 in the so-called arab spring.

it is claimed that the usa supplied weapons to anti-government forces.

James Brown

Ethical is a meaningless word.

Everyone has different ethics. And everyone has different morals.

Anyone vegetarian and why??????????

by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

i'm not vegetarian.

being italian and brought up on the mediterranian diet i tend to eat a lot of fruit, vegetables, cheese, pasta, rice and some meat.. i'm just curious to know who here is vegeterian and why?????.

cheers, bliss

James Brown

I eat meat.

I try to be vegan from time to time.

The reason to not eat animal products is for health.

But the Devils in the details.

To me it is very complicated to put into practice 100% of the time.

When I eat vegan my blood pressure goes down and my cholesterol goes down also.

I know vegans who have high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

It gets complicated frying food appears to make your cholesterol and blood pressure go up/high.

Vegans don't eat animal products no cheese no eggs etc.

If you eat the cheese and eggs your cholesterol may go up.

If I eat meat and take statins. I get hives and pulled muscles.

I went to AA for 7 years to recover.

Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians, why do so many ex JW's deny this?

by nicolaou in

jehovah's witnesses accept jesus as christ, the son of god.

they try, in their own way, to live by his teachings and imitate him.

they pray, read the bible and meet together regularly for worship.. i won't minimise any of the harm and damage they cause but for the life of me, i can't see how anyone can credibly deny that they are christians.. why do so many former jws have a problem with this?

James Brown

The Christians I know believe in the trinity, that Jesus is God.

The JW's do not believe that.

So that is probably why so many people say that JW's are not Christians.

Jesus is the beginning and the end. So he must be God.

Jehovahs witnesses either do not believe that or they can't comprehend it.

They know the bible says that but it doesn't sink in.

This may be a crazy question, but it popped in my head and won't leave. . So I gotta ask. . .

ok, this probably applies to most faith systems that believe in any sort of afterlife, but i would like to know what sort of explanation the jw's would come up with for this little problem, you know, after armageddon on earthly paradise.

sorry if i sound dumb, but it's been nagging at me for a few weeks and have to ask.. so, what if a young married jw couple are living their life, waiting for the big a, knowing they will be together in the earthly paradise, then very sadly one of them dies.

from what i know, if a jw dies, that's it.

James Brown

The resurrected are like angles they do not marry.

It's a bible Jesus thing not a JW rule.

Matthew 22:23-33English Standard Version (ESV)

Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection

23 The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”

29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

Are Gods true worshippers on Earth today? If they are not JWs then who are they?

by Formerbrother in

is there gods true worshipers on earth today as jesus said there would be?

if they are not jws then who are they?.

who else comes close to being gods true followers today?.

James Brown

The thing is the Gods are aliens. They are not from this earth.

So their true worshipers are whoever buy into this bullshxt.

Whoever does not know who the Gods are.

Are the Gods true worshipers.

Because the Gods do not want you to know who they are.

The Gods true worshipers are JW's Catholics, Lutherans. Muslims, Hindus, Budhist and it goes on and on.

Whoever buys into the confusion are the Gods true worshipers.

Whats changed since you were baptized????

by karter in

i was baptized in 1986.. 2 generation changes..

James Brown

What has changed?

I was baptized in 72.

Armegeddon came and went and no one noticed.

The United nations was bad then the watchtower joined the United Nations.

Organ transplants were bad now they are good.

Blood transfusions were bad now they are 99% good,

Just not 100%.

When I was being raised in the organization from birth. MIlky Way Mars candy bars lots of different chocolates with lethicin were bad now they are good.

The generation that saw 1914 would not pass away now they are all gone.

College was bad now I know a lot of Jehovahs witnesses that went to college and are now elders.

Very confusing from a JW perspective.

Can a full healing from cult ever be accomplished

by Chook in

can all indoctrination leave a person , or does it linger in background till death..

James Brown

My opinion and my experience.

No you can never have a full healing.

You will always be carrying baggage.

But you can rise above it and have a good life.

But the baggage will always be there.

That is the way my brain works.

Maybe you have a better brain.

Mine is not very good.

What is the purpose of life?

by slimboyfat in

while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

James Brown

That is what they want you to believe.

They want you to be confused and believe that we evolved from nothing.

You being a Godless atheist would naturally say Sitchin is wrong.

And I am sure you have not read all his books.

You just believe he is wrong because some one told you he is wrong.

We can not know what is right or what is wrong because we have been dumbed down to the point where we cant know.

So I guess you must be right Sitchin is wrong.

Cofty is right.

James Brown

If you really want the answer read zechariah Sitchin.

And Peter Tellinger Slave species of God. And the Gods of Eden by William Bramley.

These are based on the Sumerian text which the bible is based on.

But the bible has an agenda which these works will reveal.

We are slaves of the Gods to do their work, fight their wars and make their profits.

If you are smart enough, you can fall out of line and watch the others fall in line.
