  How would be a next Sequel after the defenestration of the appostate?

  Now lets present the next Coolaid: Let them build for us for free a new hall in industrial style by the Sweat of their brows where they can travel and be busy and let us make them volunteering caretakers, who pay again for the operating cost.

  And let us place a Kingdom piggybank for their liquid funds and label it "Huge AV Mediaproduction Center"

  "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

  What is the benefit of God's Kingdom?

  by Half banana in

  what is the benefit of god's kingdom?.

  the watchtower said when it started out in 1879 that god's kingdom had already arrived in heaven in 1874 and that its work would be complete by 1914. .

  with heroic slogans of "destroying the kings of the earth" and "all enemies of christ the king" etc by 1914, "god fearing" humankind was to have been restored to prelapsarian innocence and the earth to a global edenic paradise.

  AysThe benefit of 100 years Kingdom

  1. You get 2 kings for 1 kingdom. Jehovahs kingdom and Jesus Kingdom - a corporate one with a horrible footprint

  2. You get a World war in 1914 that was induced by one of the kings fighting in heaven with apostate Satan

  3. You get in 1918 a Spanish Influenza which killed twice as much as poor people that both World Wars together.

  4. Fear mongering slaves are running around and set new 100y+ fear Milestone footprint in the Marathon of Gods kindom :Gods kingdom begins with war,, brngs fear for Millions now living and brings war from above at the end to come

  5. 2 kings who so bring bring themselves reproach "to Jehovas name " or the kings names while always waiting for the next Virus as evidence for the endtime

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  on february 21, 2020, the wt society made the announcement in their website of the release of the new world translation in modern hebrew (hebrew scriptures - "tanakh") in haifa, israel.

  now, the complete nwt is available in modern hebrew.. some time ago, a poster here said that releasing (in theory, i.e.

  ) the hebrew bible in a modern version, such as the nwt, would be irrational.

  The vocalisation of JHWH according to the masoretic Text was

  

  Like for example in the Codex Leningradensis

  
  

  Already in 2010 a scholar already published the Tanack Ram,.a translation from classical hebrew and aramaic scripture into Israeli language, which was and is discussed wether this can be useful.

  modern Israelis cannot read the Tanakh with Joy...This Bible allows modern readers to easily grasp the meaning of the Scriptures.”

  This is how Jehovah looks like in the Israeli bible. From Deut. 6:4

  
  

  This is the vokalisation in Israeli
  

  How now is it pronounced by modern Readers in Israel ?

  There is no US airforce, Soviet army equivalent bearing down on wtBtS. inc.

  However in the mind set of JWs has to be always be upheld a certain a fear of persecution from all sides. Without tue persecution komplex the fearmingering wird Armageddon ideology has little target.

  German people gave up the Nazi ideology without any struggle at all.

  Similarly JWs would say: "Some believed in that and that, but that was until the Slave Governing Body died off and got its heavenliy reward. It is not possible that so many died because they refused a lifesaving transfusion. It is not possible that they covered up crimes or Destroyed families We never did that. Anyway thats old trash. Now we go with the time."

  johnson helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space even as she made huge strides that also opened doors for women and people of color in the universal human quest to explore space.

  Katherine Johnson

  The film gave me a new idea of how segregation even up to the 1950s influenced daily life of women. How hard it was for the african-american population to get higher education or a better job. In regards to NASA: "Black women at first used separate office, dining and bathroom facilities, but their abilities won them a level of acceptance ay NASA that was ahead of its time in the US." AFP

  Interesting to see, how in the NASA offices women worked on tasks like calculating manually the space trips before IBM computers functioned. But even after the computers were able to calculate faster austronauts relied on her math gift and let her manually check the coordinates e.g. of the landing site . "Along with colleagues, she plotted John Glenn's course when he became the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962. Before embarking on the mission, Glenn asked that Johnson personally re-check the computer-produced figures on a mechanical calculating machine -- a task that took one and a half days of intense work." AFP

  In the film also includes a scene at 56:15 when she appealed at court after she was rejected to study at a white school in Hampton. There was never before a afro-american at a white school before in Virgina. In the film she was very well prepared when she spoke to the judge. She argued that the only choice for her to become engineer at NASA is to get this studies at the white Hampton High School.

  To the question "Why should a coloured woman study at a white school, which had not happened before?" she answered: that "she had no other choice than to be the first to become an engineer at NASA" and she asked the judge: "in hundred years, which case will yet be remembered of all cases he has today, which case will make him the FIRST?" Nice moment. The judge answered: "O my god. ......only the evening courses".

  This scene is a hint to here role in the legal desegregating of higher education. More. More: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/02/25/katherine-johnson-should-also-be-remembered-desegregating-higher-education/

  Sadly I cannot imagine how a Radioday might have been like.... we often watch Netflix together but how much brutality is shown in the films. Often we switch such scenes. Often we like listening together also symphonical ooncerts.
