A rather strange thing to publish, specially in 1946.

Are the Jews meek?
by slimboyfat ini thought these were pretty surprising comments in the consolation magazine in 1946, just a few months after the full horrors of the holocaust emerged, under the heading "are the jews meek?":.
"there is no evidence in the scriptures that the jews as a people are meek.
on the contrary, jehovah's witnesses only find it stated in the bible that the jews are "stiff-necked and hard-hearted", but when they call at their homes with the message of god's kingdom they witness the same characteristics.

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.

Dgp, first of all get your facts straight, all you are doing is bashing the Church.
For your information, slavery still exists today as does human trafficking, both in Europe and America, and nobody is doing much to stop it.

Would you go running back?
by Nambo inif the tribulations started tomorrow, and all you knew of the bible was what the jws had told you, would you suddenly think, "they said this would happen, and it is, therefore they must be right", and go running back?.
or would you think, "just because eventually biblical prophiesies came to pass that "they" had read you from the bible, doesnt mean they are the chosen religion, because they get all these other doctrines wrong", and know these doctrines well enough to be able to convince yourselves.. .
replies such as "it wont happen cause its a fairy story" wont really help..

Somebody should ask them how come they were announcing Catholicism in particular would fall so many decades in advance.

Dgp, you are saying that the Church is to blame for colonialism? And more so, XVI century colonialism? And based on that the current Vatican has to go?
About the birth rates, the countries with higher birth rates in the world are not the Catholic ones. Your point being?

Rbih, face palm? How about a Christmas tree with a dragon tail and three eyes? I am moving on now. Take care.

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?

Nc, this specific analysis is too challenging for me in a cute sort of way. Take care.

Rbih, I have not done any of the things you are accusing me of, neither have any of the many Catholic people I know.
If you get offended by people that believe in their religion that is your problem, don’t blame it on them.
Also, inform yourself before making conclusions, specially based on what you see in a movie. Take care.

Rbih, if this is what you understand after reading my post I don’t think there is any point in me trying to explain anything else, so I will drop the subject now. Take care.

Rbih, I know about the slave trade which of course I find despicable. But blaming the Church for it is also despicable.
About Galileo, is he really the reason you don’t like the Catholic Church? I am pretty sure he moved on with more ease than some people 5 centuries later.

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.
