  lately that’s all i’ve been hearing about!

  i’m sick and tired of listening to white people begging for forgiveness simply because they are white.

  in a nearby town, a six year old girl asked her mom, “ why don’t we have a black lives matter march here?

  Sorry if this isn't the right place to put this - but I have read that the riots are really about Communism not what colour skin you have. That narrative is just a tool for destablising society.

  On the subject of Communism the issue is property. But Marx's economic stuff didn't work in Stalinist Russia because the ordinary people were moral due to their Christian morals. Some will call that religion others will call that culture. Because Marxism failed, the Communists set out to carry out a cultural attack. It became known as the Frankfurt School and media organisations like Hollywood and the BBC (Ministry of Trust in 1984) were used to pump out Frankfurt School messages.

  Now the issue is property - maybe you think houses, cars, money. But do you think wife and children? No marriage ultimately facilitates legalising rape, no ownership of your children means you have no rights to protect them from any kind of bully or predator.

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the point of the letter was how many are feeling disappointed these days.. no circuit assembly, convention, how we can't fellowship at the k.h.

  disappointed we might have had a love one die, etc etc.

  he then goes on to write about how disappointed jehovah must have felt when his first human creation rebelled.

  To be a Watchtower publisher is a great privilege. The question is, is it a great desirable privilege? Or a great undesirable privilege?

  And what constitutes desire? Desire for what is beneficial or unbeneficial? And what is it that benefits?

  Jesus gives us a useful steer on this:-

  (Matthew 7:12) . . .“All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must likewise do to them; this, in fact, is what the Law and the Prophets mean. . .

  Sadly some priests in the Catholic church have carried out crimes against their congregation members. Justice has not been done, the incident has been hushed over and the priest has been moved to another church. Now another congregation is in danger but no warning is given to them.
  

  Employment - could it ever happen that a supervisor carried out a crime against an employee and that innocent employee would not get justice because the guilty supervisor was a particular colour? The supervisor just gets moved to a different site because the company are too afraid to defend the innocent employee because of the suprevisor's colour? Also the employees at the new site are now in danger but no one is allowed to tell them?

  1852 Harriet Beecher Stowe (friend of the 8th Duke of Argyll) writes Uncle Tom's Cabin. She is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day."

  The impact attributed to the book is great, reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the Civil War, Lincoln declared, "So this is the little lady who started this great war."

  1865 The end of the Civil War found former Millerites promoting new dates for the Second Coming. George Storrs of Brooklyn, New York, who published the Bible Examiner and was instrumental in forming the Life and Advent Union, focused his followers’ hopes on 1870, while a group headed by N.H. Barbour of Rochester, New York, looked to 1873 or 1874, and published their calculations in Barbour’s periodical the Herald of the Morning. ….Barbour and Storrs were among the Adventist leaders who shaped the thinking of a newcomer to the religious scene, teenager Charles Taze Russell.

  Question to consider – did C T Russell associate the Civil War with Bible prophecy? If so the Watchtower, which has caused so much damage, might never have been formed had the Civil War not happened.

  1863 Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation freed blacks in the Confederacy

  As if in rebuttle to Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation the Catholic French conquered the Mexican Republic, installed a Catholic as Emperor of Mexico (Maximillian von Hapsburg, a Catholic from Austria's royal family), and stationed 50,000 Catholic French troops there. These troops were right on the Confederacy's border, and threatened to intervene on the Confederacy's behalf.

  Robert E. Lee then invaded the North and fought at Gettysburg he did so with the tacit support of 50,000 Catholic French soldiers in Mexico, and another 11,000 British troops up in Canada.

  Czar Alexander sent two naval squadrons into Northern Union ports, one to San Francisco in the west, and another to New York City in the East. Because the British and French were already embroiled in conflicts with (Orthodox) Russia in Europe, they backed down. Czar Alexander II saved Abraham Lincoln and his anti-slavery cause. The "Great Emancipator" (Lincoln) was saved by the "Reformer Czar" (Alexander II) who, incidentally, had already emacipated the Russian serfs back in 1861. Indeed, the 1860s were a momentous sweep of freedom across the whole globe for millions of souls.

  Black girl with white mother went to Black Lives Matter. Her mother adores her.
  

  She's had everything a devoted mother could pour out on her beloved precious child. I don't think she feels her mother should get down on her hands and knees and beg for forgiveness for loving, caring, clothing and feeding her all these years.

  Sounds like the reaction you get when you say to an unwoke WT publisher that you don't believe the Governing Body are the Faithful and Discrete Slave Class.

  There's woke, then there's woke. There's slaves and there's slaves. What's the difference?
  

  I guess one thing is the nature of the damage done. Busting buildings is one thing. Busting consciences and relationships is another.

  Reminds me of how some wars are conducted using poisonous gas - do that and yes you kill everyone but you leave the roads and buildings in place.Guess the WT is ahead of the game - it gets everyone to embrace slavery and not even slavery to a good master who the slave may come to love. But to a horrid master who cares nothing for the lives of the slaves.

  Beards in the WT: Africa too

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  as many know, african languages have for decades been given their own alternate cover with black people.

  their cover for the 2020 wt#3 also includes a bearded man.

  this can not be a coincidence.

  The man has no head covering but the women do.

  In the UK Cathedrals sometimes you see stained glass with pictures of Knights Templars. There is some distincting in relation to Knights Templars over whether you have a beard or not. I can't remember it - but this is a bit about the Knights Templars and how they drew people in.

  If you were a young guy who wanted to go to war and fight for God, you could join the Templars. If you were an old guy who wanted to atone for a sinful life but was no good for fighting, you could join and run the books in a regional Templar house. If you didn’t wish to join but wanted to accrue the spiritual benefits of involvement, you could donate. They had what today in business terms would be called amazing international branding. The white mantle, the red cross. It’s the Nike swoosh, the McDonald’s arches, the Apple logo of the day. You don’t need language to understand it.
