Its the purpose of this manipulative education for children to achieve a new impressive measure in hammering Gods rigor into the brains of little children.

The artists have been invograted and trained to produce this kind of art by rigid Watchtower education. They dont care about the feelings of children or of outsiders any more. Modesty and decency would be good teachers, but they dont care .

With the now gotten internet presence their depraved brains think that they are allowed to produce each dung that they can image and that nobody can stop them.

I am curious how this story will be pictured in the new publishes story book of 2017. Is it more about obidience or about looking forward.

The following is an article about Lots wife by the Protestan Academy Berlin. A lot of modern interpretation of the story even as comfort and salt of the earth!

If one does not understand this history as submission to the will of God, do they perhaps understand as a warning of the fixation on the past? a lot of preachers do this. They read the prohibition to turn around as a challeng,to leave behind the things of the past. Only so would we be free, our vocation too and to take on the future tasks. The Bible is characterized by the future. That is why Jesus says "No one to his hand, Has laid the plow and looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God. " (Luke 9:62)

Is the GB setting up to dump 1914?

by karter in

jw
friends

with the "generation change" and them changing it all the time it would make sence to dump it all togeather.. lets face it ,it can be disproved easly.. they dumped 1975 in a heart beat .. this would buy them all the time they wanted as they would just find another date to start the generation from ie: "the u.n year of peace and sercurty'',1986 i belive or whatever else they could think of.. they could sell it to the r&f as easly as they sold 1975,then dumped it when it did'nt happen .. anyone questioning them would be told they are running ahead of jehovah or lacking faith in his earthly org that feeds us food at the proper time .. what do you think?.

karter..

If 1914 remained as start of Gods Kingdom in the JW calculation of times, this could be soon explained as if we already since then lived in the 1000 year millenium. Christ is already king since 1914 anyhow! The endtime and Armageddon-speculations would loose weight and the dogmas could be explained partly symbolical or shifted to the maximal end of that millenium as last war or period of trials between Satan and Jesus, in which with a bible study and support of gods organisation survival was possible.

In the view of the world JW became mainstream, get rid of the doomsday smell and all JW get more relaxed.

Wouldnt it be exciting to hear that we already lived in year 103 of Christs millenium (103 Anno millenium) instead of merely his nebulous heavenly kingdom ruling? This would also explain the large growth in the last 100 years and the future legal successes at courts to establilsh the religion as public institution. There is an earthly blessing happening already now!!!! Even Bro.Franz was happy to live longer than 1975.

Further would not the growing number of partakers speak volumes and support the idea that such a happening is only possible because we lived already now in a very blessed time of the millenium, in which already now the pouring out of spirit is really great, where princes of peace can be announted and look forward to a heavenly career as kings besides Jesus? The elder arrangement would become more important.

We could already begin now to build houses and have occupancy and thank Jehovah for this time of peace of the prince of peace. And slowly the process will come true, that God may be all things to everyone.

Without speculating 1914+1000 is the maximum prolongation of the endtimes, a large overlapping "generation"*1) that would end only 2914 (1000 A.M. anno mill.)

Footnote

1) "generation" = the generation of milleniumists, who all lived to see togehter the happenings during the same symbolic "DAY" of 1000 years Millenium (1000 years is one day ). Therefore they can be called a generation.

Sanderson's hate speech

by Listener in

gb member sanderson has given a hate speech in response to the recent russian ban.

it was given as a morning worship rant.

sanderson sports his usual smirk.. he opens up quoting matthew 10:22, 23 about persecution.

TheWonderofYou

Happy Sandy said that the 'hatred of the Devil'' was in those comments.

Here Sandy is accusing the church for the persecution. The church or the news article as seat or manifestation of the evil. It is important to note that Sandy is not accusing the judges nor the ambassadors which he met in Russia and who pitied the JW, he doesn accuse the poliical world leaders but the false religion. So it is for Sandy a battle that is fought between true and false religions. To fight against these false acussations it will be necessary to cooperate with US and German ambassadors, US and German state consuls as well as representatives of the European Council of which Russia is member and the United Nations or the OSCE. Contact threads that are certainly now used.
As JW have good contacts to all those important worldly organistations over the Legal Departments and private contacts of the GB they are not fighting against the worldy political, and human right jugdges and legal organisations but against the most evil part of this world- the church, who seduced the judges to persecute JW.

So Sandy is not biting his friends in the international organsiations who pity JW and help them.

Merkel was groomed. By the WTS. They have mega interests in Germany.

One point is certainly that JW have a well reputation in Germany because of the conscientious objectors in WW2. This plays a role like credit or premature prize in any law cases. The process of legal institutionalisation of JW is on a good way in many german provinces also.

Germany Courts Recognize Conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses as Religious Holidays

Since the 1990s, German courts have repeatedly denied the request of the Jehovah's Witnesses to become a corporate body under public law for various reasons, one of them being that JW would discourage their members from taking part in state elections, and would not respect the Grundgesetz. (basic law)
In March 2005, Jehovah's Witnesses were granted the status of a body of public law for the state of Berlin, on the grounds that the alleged lack of fidelity towards the state had not been convincingly proven. The decision on the group's status in Berlin was upheld by the Federal Administrative Court in 2006. In subsequent years, corresponding decisions were made in 12 other states. In the states of Baden-Württemberg, and Bremen, the group was denied the status in 2011.

Due to their status of corporate body under public law (in some states), Jehovah's Witnesses in 2010 filed a complaint for broadcasting time at Germany's international broadcaster, Deutsche Welle

Concerning the issue of blood transfusions, the Federal Constitutional Court has held that transfusing blood to an unconscious JW violated the person's will, but did not constitute a "battery" ???? Source: wikipedia

Decision of the German Federal Constitutional Court: [3] BVerfG, 1 BvR 618/93

The freedom to exercise religious freedom is not subject to the limitations of Art. 2 (1) and (2) Basic Law. However, it is not granted without restriction. It proceeds from man as a self-responsible personality, which unfolds freely within the social community. This connection also makes the basic right of Article 4 (2) GG accessible to certain extreme limits, which, however, can only be determined by the Constitution itself (see BVerfGE 32, 98 <107 f.)

A Kind of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (stealing Christianity)

by TerryWalstrom in

jehovah's witnesses took mainstream christianity and replaced each part of it, one item, one term, one definition at a time, into its contrary.. holy spirit (capital letters) became a tholy spirit (lower case letters) = from a person into a mere forceful gesture.. cross became torture stake.

(eradication of the essential symbol of historical christianity).

soul went from ethereal spirit to a mere hunk of flesh and bone.. salvation by grace became earning your salvation one door-knock at a time.

"tholy" what is that? I like the urban wording of this thread

UNITED STATES

Witnesses Win Major Awards for Green Building Design and Construction

NEW YORK—Jehovah’s Witnesses, well-known for their global Bible education work, are receiving recognition for excellence in environmentally sustainable building design and construction.

The Green Building Initiative (GBI) awarded certifications for two new buildings at the Witnesses’ United States branch facilities in Wallkill, New York: the Watchtower Farms F Residence, completed in late 2012, and the Watchtower Wallkill Office Building, completed in 2014. Both of the buildings received the highest award of Four Green Globes.

Watchtower Wallkill Office Building

Shaina Sullivan, Marketing Director for GBI, notes: “Worldwide, less than 4 percent of all buildings assessed under the program have achieved this top certification of Four Green Globes.” Ms. Sullivan added that the Watchtower Wallkill Office Building “is the first nonresidential project in New York State to earn this rating.” Jenna Middaugh, Project Manager for GBI, commented: “Of the 23 buildings [in the United States] that have been certified with Four Green Globes since 2006, the Watchtower Wallkill Office Building achieved the highest point score with 94 percent.”

Watchtower Farms F Residence

GBI administers Green Globes as a commercial rating system and certification program that utilizes a third-party on-site assessment of sustainable design and construction. Achieving a Green Globes rating requires environmentally sensitive site design that focuses on water management, minimization of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing the impact on natural resources by selection of appropriate materials, and creating a healthful indoor environment.

Photovoltaic panels provide at least 10 percent of the electrical energy needs for the Watchtower Wallkill Office Building, a feature of the building’s award-winning sustainable design.

David Bean, sustainable design coordinator for the Witnesses’ facilities in the United States, says: “The achievement of these awards attests to the high standard of design and construction work that we set for all of our projects. We are also pursuing Green Globes certification in the design and construction of our new world headquarters in Warwick, New York.”

Zeny St. Jean, who coordinates global building projects for Jehovah’s Witnesses from their world headquarters, states: “While our primary focus is the advancement of Bible education, we appreciate these awards as professional recognition of the environmentally conscientious building design and construction that we strive to implement at our facilities around the world.”

Witnesses Receive Highest Rating by GBI for Sustainable Design of New World Headquarters

NEW YORK—Upon completion of their new world headquarters in August 2016, Jehovah’s Witnesses received official recognition for the sustainable design of their new facility in Warwick, New York. The Green Building Initiative (GBI), an organization which offers environmental assessment and certification programs for commercial buildings, awarded the Witnesses the highest possible rating of Four Green Globes for all seven of their buildings that qualified for consideration.

Shaina Weinstein, senior director of engagement for GBI, states: “Out of 965 projects nationwide, only 64 buildings have received the highest rating of Four Green Globes. For Jehovah’s Witnesses to receive Four Green Globes for all seven of their buildings at Warwick is remarkable. This accomplishment represents a very high level of commitment to water, energy, and environmental efficiency.”

The GBI, according to their official website, is “a nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the adoption of building practices that result in resource efficient, healthier and environmentally sustainable buildings.” The GBI provides ratings in sustainable design and operation for newly constructed buildings. As part of the rating process, a third-party expert in the field conducts an on-site assessment to verify GBI’s findings.

David Bean, sustainable design coordinator for the Witnesses’ facilities in the United States, comments: “We appreciate these awards, which testify to the dedication of all involved to construct a campus that exemplifies many sustainable design features—a campus that integrates gracefully and appropriately into Sterling Forest State Park.”

The Witnesses’ strategy included preserving the trees on the property and incorporating felled trees into the construction project. “I appreciated the decision to mill the trees that were cut down to clear the site and reuse them in the new building designs,” says Jeffrey Hutchinson, former park manager for Sterling Forest. “The environmental aspects of what the Witnesses have done are excellent.” Shaina Weinstein also comments, “In our opinion, the Warwick project exemplifies what environmentally conscious design and construction are all about.”

Richard Devine, who was chairman of the Witnesses’ Warwick Construction Project Committee, explains: “For decades, our organization has maintained the aesthetics of our properties in Brooklyn. Now we look forward to maintaining our eco-friendly facility in Warwick and preserving the existing beauty of Sterling Forest.”

This is the link to brother Reibling's first green city project, the "Whisper Valley" in Texas. Could this be a model for the next Wallkill farm? Would the GB make a contract with TI Investments to remodel the area? I can already image how then brother Reibling then meets at this place cancellor Merkel and talks in german about the future of the paradisic earth. Perhaps even Putin will reside for a short time here in America at the former JW residences?

CUTBACKS.

I dont know what happend with the chemicals but I like you to show some beautiful impressions of the surround of the Wallkill farms.

If the WALLKILL FARM complex would be once sold and TURNED INTO a wellness complex or a GREEN VILLAGE / GREEN CITY e.g. by Brother Lorenz Reibling's TI Tauris Investments, that would be a good idea.

In this picture you see Wallkill farms as white buildings between the woods.... a good place for a GREEN CITY!!

As this region of America is wonderful, it is a great blessing that Jehovash people can live and work here.

But most time they are only sitting the offices and factories and not spending time in the nature.

If the WALLKILL FARM complex would be TURNED INTO A wellness complex or a GREEN VILLAGE and be renovated by Brother Lorenz Reibling, that would be a good investment A green village for the future.
