Rbih, you are right, the Bible is not a history book. For some people it is much more than that, for others it is nothing. Respect those for whom it is, that’s all.

By What Authority?
by Orthodox1 inthe jws, catholics, mormons, and a handful of others say they are the "true church" or what jesus originally intended.
i know jws call themselves the "true christians".
by what authority - outside of the bible, since 41,000 denominations use the bible to back up their individual beliefs - can jws make this claim?

Rbih, there is plenty of information in internet if you have the time to look for it.
Come back to me when you have discovered who were the main traffickers and the buyers.
NC, you don’t need your school book, even wikipedia can tell you how many Queen Elizabeths Spain had and if they had any part in the slave trade.

I Believe Catholicism And Its Trappings Are Silly, Strange & Weird!!!
by minimus inmy 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.

Rbih, the majority of the population in South America are of Indian descent, it seems the main objective was never to annihilate them or rob them their land. They are still there.
Dgp, sorry you can not see the connection. As I told you it is a bigger problem than your little mind can comprehend.

Rbih, movies are not always accurate accounts of history. Amistad is one of those movies, where Queen Elizabeth of Spain is portrayed as a girl playing with dolls at the time of the slave trade, when she lived a few centuries earlier. That among many other inconsistencies.
Do some research before coming to any conclusions after watching any movie.

Are active bethelites sent here to spy?
by EndofMysteries ini wonder if bethelites are sent here for research, but i can't see any being sent here for research in which it wouldn't awaken them at the same time.
even the governing body themselves may awaken if they were at this board haha.

This will end up being their own downfall. One of the many disadvantages of being a liar.

The problem here dear dgp, is bigger than your little mind can comprehend.
The pope can say what he wants, he is not coercing anyone. The WT coerces people in various different ways by the methods it uses to recruit and keep people in. EOM.

Whoever is behind the family planning official doctrine of the Vatican, is obviously not somebody that has the Vatican best interest at heart. Either that or a case of huge incompetence.

WTS stupid analogies for how to live your life
by tootired2care inone of the things that always bothered me about the wts teaching, is that they take these passages from the bible about a soldier, or battle, or staying awake, being urgent etc, and then use that to justify their points on how you need to live your life each and every day.. for example some brothers came over for sheparding (don't we all love those) and read a scripture in nehamiah somewhere about how the families had to camp between the wall sections to protect the city from invaders while rebuilding jerusalem.
the point he made was that since your family is right there you be more inclined to staying awake and defending that section more vigorously.
then he proceeds to use that into gulting me into doing more, reaching out etc.

Who controls the information somebody gets, controls the conclusions they will reach.
Pure evil, specially when you look at the results.
