Where will the war in Ukraine lead to?
by Kosonen in
1. jw
2. friends
there has been comments in the news recently that the war in ukraine could be the beginning to the world war three.. i would not be surprised if it is.

.

the bible says a time will come when the peace will be taken from the earth.. revelation 6:4 another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword.. have you heard what possibly this war in ukraine could lead to?.

Lloyd Evans, Philandering & Sex Slaves

the argument made by le supporters that his philandering is "between him and his wife" is a fallacy.

philandering is a real social problem that affects many families (including mine).

it's pretty apparent now that le has been using his wife and his in-laws to boost his writing career, and now that he has achieved his goals, he will discard them.

awake 73 3/23 p.12 "the spirit of compatition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances...in some homes tensions linger longer then checkmate.

chess is a game of war a play substitute for the art of war...danger of stirring up compatiton and hostility to one another something the bible warns christians to avoid.

what effect does playing chess have on you is it wholesome?

Why do you call yourselves "apostates?"
by Marbles in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
well let me clarify the question.

i know you call yourselves apostates because the bible defines people who leave their previously held beliefs as apostates.

my question means, if the bible is not true (and i don't think it is) then there is no such thing as an apostate.i have never been a jw, only a bible student with them.

my ex-husband is in prison for ..well a while longer and has recently became very interested in the study of jehovah.
