  The WT don't force anyone to be rude. After I dissasociated some Witnesses continued talking to me, invited me to their homes and even hugged me in the street, others just smile every time we see each other and I understand. Only a few behaved like the pharisees but it was their personal choice.

  Laws that discriminate citizens based on their social status are a very pervasive hate crime across the entire UE. Hopefully Belgium start to treat lower class citizens with the same dignity it treats kings, queens, ducheses, counts, etc and not as an invisible number.

  The Power Of Unconditional Love

  by 1234 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the most powerful love in the universe is unconditional love.. a love that has no requirements or conditions.

  no actions are necessary to receive it.. this love is all around us and can be easily seen.

  watch any mother with its new born baby.

  Unconditional love is unhealthy. Love needs certain conditions to exist.

  Worldwide preaching campaign targeting government officials.

  by smiddy3 in

  2. bible

  does anybody know what this message will contain ?

  is it designed to provoke a response that will bring persecution on the religion ?

  or is it just going to be some meaningless weak campaign to get the rank and file all excited about it and achieving nothing.. or is it going to suggest to the government officials that this mob could very well be the next jonestown /wacol incident and we need to act now.

  They always said that the Great Tribulation would start by a strategic move from Jehovah that would put hooks in Gog's jaws to bring him and his army against His people.

  Collapsing the US elections with a postal campaign seems such a move.

  being raised a dub i never voted.

  i’m not a republican or a democrat, not a liberal or a conservative.. i’m pretty middle of the road.

  i want everyone to have a fair shake if possible in this life, but i definitely don’t believe in forced equality, that’s just not possible.

  If the US was being ruled by Christian fundamentalists it wouldn't be the cradle of so many different cults. The US is ruled by Masons, and they have no religious preferences but historically they did oppose Catholicism.

  Now they seem quite happy with the Opus Dei type of Catholicism.

  Israel is the spearhead in the muslim world to destroy the region, not destroying religion but radicalizing it to control it better.

  The theocratic war is to determine who is the Supreme Architect of the Universe and his chosen people.

  Why Does It Seem That Black People Are Always Being Shot By The Police?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  there is either a conspiracy against blacks in this country and police are out to get them or it’s that they are getting caught breaking the law and often times refuse to obey police authority.

  the punchline is: (at the end).

  esther had very long, bright red hair like a disney character and she might have been almost attractive--if it weren't for two things.1.

  she had no chin.i mean, just don't look at her in profile.

  I knew one elder that brought a rotten fish to the congregation of a sister that wasn't interested in him.

  I hope Jehovah will avenge her.

  Bewildering Background revealing who stopped slavery in the world

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  bewildering background.

  even among the greatest religious thinkers and moral philosophers of civilizations around the world for 1000’s of years slavery was not considered a moral issue.. only one civilization developed a “moral revulsion” against it very late in its history:western civilization.. abraham lincoln said:if slavery is not considered wrong; nothing can be considered as wrong.. but why did not even the leading moralists among other nations and civilizations reject slavery at all?.

  there is no evidence that slavery came under attack in any other part of the world before the 18th century.

  We are talking about the world in the 16th Century. Not sure what were protestant countries in Feudal Europe doing against slavery at the time. All we know is that slavery is very much alive in the 21st Century.

  Jesuits were also a Spanish Catholic Order that nowadays have been replaced by the Opus Dei, which looks more like a protestant joke than anything else.

  And no need to get so heat up about the Spanish being the first to do something against slavery. Americans can actually be the ones freeing the world from it once and for all. Hopefully this time for real.

  I'm afraid Thomas Sowell had the wrong information. Slavery was forbidden in the 16th Century by Catholic Spain.

  Not sure what happened afterwards or why there are more slaves nowadays than ever before in history.

  Maybe we should ask Thomas Sowell.

  the other day i went to this farm owned by this jw lady with my wife being a jw and my mother being a non witness.

  later taking to my mother she noticed this vibe like this jw lady really hated her.

  she just had these little slags like when we tried to pay for the fruit we picked , she looked directly at my wife and said " don't worry about it, i only charge wordly people ".. i also have this aunt who is a jw we are estranged from.

  The terms worldly people, worldly friends, worldly attitudes... were widely used in all congregations I've been. There was even worldly nail polish and worldly hair cuts.
