If you can't understand the difference then it's probably why you are so easily manipulated by the media.

This is exactly what (or very similar to what) Putin has said about the Americans. Let me look up the article.

What I found is this video about Putin speaking about the fact that it is not good to let you distract of the real problems in America.

and this next video from the SPIEF-forum 2017 (International Economic Forum) St.Petersburg, from 1-3 June, 2017 where Putin answers to the hacker matter using really funny parables

JW's Changing Tune

by SickofLies in

i left the religion back in the early 2000's, tell you the truth it's been so long now i've been out i don't remember exactly when i left.

i definitely used this site a lot when i first left and it was a great asset.

when i left i somehow managed to get my parents to come with me.

In this months (June 17) broadcast the org emphasises the benefit of voluntary service for the organisation in the construction of convention halls like in the Netherlands.

About some volunteers is said that they "sold their house" or "quitted their job" (POSITIVE TUNE)

That this was mentioned surprised me, because at this years Region Convention they say about those who believed in the 1975 date:

"some even sold their homes and quitted their jobs" (NEGATIVE TUNE)

While those view from the older generation that gave up house and job and looked forward to 1975 are treated today as DULLARDS those contemporaries volunteers who do it not for the date but for the convention halls are the new CELEBRITIES in the organisation.

Ex JW Campaign Day

by Tight Pants Twinkle Toes in

hi folks, tight pants twinkle toes here - my first post.

i am the husband of the new poster finally left.

we both recently left, my wife after 43 years and 46 years for me.

Your 4 points are a good summary for a conversation, a good texting.

But there are activist and ....activists. In my case... I dont want to be embarrased for the fact I once have been JW in the public. I live good now that nobody knows what I did 30 years before withouth my family. My family too would not accept such activism in the public and would be embarrased. Its not cool to be associated with a cult. Its enough stress for me to meet from time to time a former "sis" or "bro" in the streetservice. Otherwise I would have my picture in the profile...it burns in my heart to be active...but I am realistic. and i think many think similar, and think of those who may even suffer and became depressed about the excommunications and treatment or loss of family. How difficult it must be to be activist than.

I hope that you can help some to find the "reality" and one can feel that you are enflamed for this.

1914 is the Key !

by Phizzy in

i thought this deserved its own topic.

it is a thought that occurred to me as i read the wt rag that i took to be polite.. it is the public one about the 4 horseman, and it struck me that they are still 100% reliant on their false 1914 doctrine to hang everything on.. if 1914 is proved wrong, what can the credibility of their doomsday message hang on ?.

we all know how to disprove the old 2520 years nonsense, but they seem to at last be hiding that, and simply claiming that world events prove jesus slung the devil out of heaven in 1914.. so, what has that old devil done since 1914, 103 years ago ?.

TheWonderofYou

but so far the Devil has proved a far better "king" than Jesus since 1914

How is the old Devil any king of the world since 1914 or ruling anything if ACTUALLY Christ Jesus is king of the world ? Are there two kings performing gods kingdom administration? That so banal.

Interesting Take on Vows

by konceptual99 in

so yesterday was the wt on vows.. it spoke, in part about two vows.

the vow you make in dedication and the vow of marriage.

here's how it describes them.. the most important vow that a christian can make is the one with which he dedicates his life to jehovah.

TheWonderofYou

Is it necessary to be baptized to get a Kingdomhall approved marriage? Two 19 year old couldn't marry withought beeing bapized?

Breaking News, London: Van Ploughs into Pedestrians

by Simon in

3 male passengers then get out and start stabbing / shooting people according to early reports.. but it could have been anyone for any reason, who knows, possibly jehovahs witnesses or amish.. maybe we'll never know the reason but i'm sure there will be people praying for those involved and hashtags.. thus solving the problem once and for all.. just "life in a big city" according to the muslim mayor of london, sadiq khan..

Islamist terrorist groups usually use the holiday to mount more significant terrorist attacks, and promise their followers extra benefits for dying in such attacks during the holy month.

Do girls become angels?

by TheWonderofYou in

in this video montage from paul leonhart and eden channel a jw girl in hospital hopes to become once an "angel" or something similar at 1:06, if she only believes in jehovah.

perhaps this is a reference also to the bloodissue and remaining loyal.. the comment states that 20 million persons are no glorifing god and awaiting a "great tribulation" (in big letters).

what a channel!

The comment states that 20 million persons are no glorifing god and awaiting a "great tribulation" (in big letters). What a channel! The belief in angels is somehow deep in us.
This channel has of course a video about bloodless surgery in the Englewood Hospital translated into Italian. In the endtitles there is of course the address of Englewood and a phonenumber in case somebody needs such a "surgery without blood" as it is called in the video. Maybee it is not without blood "fractions" at all. The video about the deluge I havent watched yet .
"Ci sono oramai su tutta la Terra, 20 milioni di persone che giorno e notte rendono gloria e onore al Sovrano Signore Geova. Questi suoi figli ubbidienti, attendono con trepidazione che il loro PADRE celeste li faccia superare vivi la GRANDE TRIBOLAZIONE e diano inizio al millenario regno di Cristo."

Christian Church Destroyed by ISIS Rebuilt by Muslim Residents

by cofty in

muslims in mosul have helped rebuild a christian church that had been destroyed by isis.. iraq has one of the smallest, but oldest, christian communities in the world but isis oversaw the destruction of iraqi churches, books and christian spaces during their occupation of the city..... it's heartening to see both the military defeat of isis in mosul and the desire for normal relationships shown by the inter-faith community.. there is hope..

Asking a Jew about the Name "Jehovah"

by David_Jay in

jehovah's witnesses...that's the trademark of the religion, the use of the name "jehovah.

" if there is anything jws and non-jws can agree on is that this one thing sets them apart from everybody else.. i have only had witnesses come to my door less than five times since i left in the 1990s.

i guess they don't work the territory i live in often, or perhaps after that first time (which was still after the year 2000) they have marked the words "jew who knows a lot" or something in their notes on my address.

Thank you. Each sentence of our comment is enough to think about for a whole evening in a family study.
