You can actually read a person or an organization (religious or not) by the smallest of details.

Unfortunately you don’t need a religion to be deceived, history is populated with examples of peoples and countries being manipulated to fight against their own interests in the name of (ironically) freedom.

The Catholic Church and "CRIMINE SOLICITATIONIES"

by JWB in

the catholic church and "crimine solicitationies".

"it was a policy adopted formally by the vatican in 1962. joseph ratzinger then as a priest helped formulate it.

it says that when children are harmed in any catholic parish anywhere in the world, the priest and the bishop are under papal order to suppress the evidence of that, to hide ... well to protect the child rapist.

That letter was probably leaked by an infiltrated mason in the Catholic Church. I hope they get rid of them soon, they shouldn’t be too difficult to identify, they are the ones with the long tusks.

I recognize that I had a part of responsibility in becoming and staying a witness for so many years, but STILL, my faith in God and the Bible was taken advantage of by this organization, and I blame THEM for that, because unlike my previous religion (Catholicism), they have interfered in my life, affecting my personal decisions, invading my privacy, manipulating me to follow them while hiding what they really are.

SO, the main thing I learned from the whole experience is to never be so naïve again as to follow anyone so blindly in the name of anything.

by tootired2care in

i was reading this news article and it brings out that nasa is planning a manned mission to mars.

nasa plans to work with other countries on this mission, and not just go it alone.

it turns out that the obama administration has set a goal for nasa to have this done by the 2030s.

I hope it will be successful.

i posted the following comment after an article about mitt romney committing to put "all of the us cards on the table" over israeli security.

comments from jewish and israeli citizens welcome, no racism or nationalism intended.

does anyone consider this a reasonable answer to the palistinian issue?.

Saw Danish Worlds Apart movie, have questions

by jws in

jw

i just watched the danish film "worlds apart" last night.

it's the story of a jw girl who falls in love with a "worldly" boy and all of the problems in her life.

and if anybody wants to see it, it's on the independent film channel on-demand.

Any active jws watching the movie will probably focus on the small details and discard the whole message of the movie, the keeping of appearances, the hypocrisy, the conditional love, the control over the intimate lives of others, the blackmail... I think it is a very accurate portrait of what it means to be one of jws. Neither Jesus nor any of his true followers would ever treat people like that, it is not that they are not Christians, they are the opposite of Christians.

I hope no elders will ever show up at my door, people that stalk others belong in jail.

Whoever wins will follow the pre-established agenda, and unfortunately it seems clear we are heading towards a big international conflict. Romney and Obama, like ourselves, are not the ones taking the decisions. There are too many interests at stake here, but we should start demanding responsibilities from the people deciding about our lives and futures.

I remember watching the trailer when I was still in, and thinking it was done to put jws under a bad light. It is very well done and it reminds me how glad I am to be out of there now.

Could UFO Disclosure Bring About A Golden Age?

by metatron in

jw
friends

there are a great many people - and internet sites- that preach a sort of 2012/ufo gospel.

while they may contradict one another, they mostly teach that ufo's will intervene and save us, especially if governments admit that they exist.. yeah, ok..... been there, heard that..... but could there be a core of truth to this idea?.

what would happen if the world acknowledged that et's exist?.

We are better off without any sort of alien contact.

Aliens would be the perfect excuse to enforce whatever it is you want to enforce.
