my italian friend loves going to the "feasts" that occur in italy, boston or nyc.
these feasts feature a "saint" with dollar bills pinned around her and they parade the saint in a long procession and chant "viva (whomever)".
they are quite serious about this and are proud to talk about the past generations of observers who appreciated the events.
The people that are trying to bring the Church down are not only shameless, but very dangerous.
They may hide behind different organizations, groups, etc to spread their hatred but their problem with the Church is that it is an obstacle (and a formidable one), for them to achieve total control of others and to impose their view of the world, where THEY are the gods.
Of course they have two big problems: they are only humans, and God does exist.
hey!
i just read the watchtower for september 15 and learned that.
momentous events are soon to take place.. .
Somebody should ask them WHO is their source.
If the UN turns against religions, how come they knew this decades ago when it was still something unimaginable?
We have already established that they are not led by the Holy Spirit, then what is the source of their information?
hi guys & gals!.
the watchtower society have once again ignored the tent makers wise words to not go beyond what is written in the bible.. how many times has the watchtower society gone beyond what is written in the bible?.

Thankfully as Christians we are not under the Law.
It's a warning for women: don’t marry a jealous man.
i've been reading around this subject of late and it seems to make a lot of sense.
i'm wondering if anyone is convinced and/or has seen anything that can substantiate or corroborate the 'facts' set out in these arguments.. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bloodlines/russell.htm.
i was particularly fascinated to read the following:.
Countries with a very high standard of living like Scandinavia, Switzerland, Australia…are developed because they have a very good education system, among other things.
Respect for the individual is non negotiable in an advanced society.
JFK words are very telling. The fact that is still an unsolved case also.

Dgp, you are right, and that just proves the point, you can be part of the Church and still be your own person, with your own opinions.
The WT is totalitarian, you need to conform, or else.
They support two completely different ways of seeing the world. I prefer the one where I can exercise my right to disagree safely.
sugested lead article title:.
f*@k we were wrong!
now is the hour to go to sleep.
We love you.

History is full of conspiracies. The reason they are successful is because a great number of people don’t recognize them.

That is an opinion. For me what is irrational is looking at the Universe and don’t believe there is a Creator. But I don’t insult people that believe there isn’t any.
The Church can not be compared to the WT, sorry.

When Jesus said your house is abandoned to you, means that future prophecies are not referring to literal Israel.
That’s my opinion.
in doing some research a few years back, i came across the use of "breaking session" as something used to control cult members by leadership.
initially, i dismissed this a something smaller, more extreme cults use - and dismissed it as a technique used by the jw org.
here are a few descriptions of the process from http://changingminds.org/techniques/conversion/breaking_sessions.htm.
They fit the criteria. Only for this reason, this would be a very destructive cult.
Of course there are many other reasons also.
