  Is Russia Bluffing?

  by Fisherman in

  “supplies of offensive weapons to the kyiv regime would lead to a global catastrophe,” state duma chairman vyacheslav volodin said.

  “if washington and nato supply weapons that would be used for striking peaceful cities and making attempts to seize our territory as they threaten to do, it would trigger a retaliation with more powerful weapons.”.

  what is russia implying?

  NATO borders “smack up to those of Russia”

  well, where would you like the line drawn in the sand to be? The only way to stop an agressor is before he gets momentum, inside his own border. Let Russia build their own Westwall., east of the Brest Litovsk definition. (or january 1918).

  Napoleon's and Hitler's fate should be enough of a deterrent for the west to keep off ancient Russian soil.

  Is Vladimir bluffing? he will not be happy until her rules in Dresden and Berlin again

  Biden, Scholz, Macron will not trade New York, Frankfurt, Paris for Kiev in a nuclear exchange.

  trouble is, Russia has annexed the most fertile and industrially powerful region of the former pan-Ukraine ( may be some aircraft manufacturing excluded). Yielding it, would leave Ukraine a very less rich country. Re-conquering the occupied parts would result in a Stalingrad - type defensive battle put up by the Russians.

  Realpolitik would be to face reality. Let the Polar/grizzly matka bear have her prey, and settle down, if that is possible living next to a predator, with all its lice, never nice.

  Anomy Mouse must be thinking of the past, of Czechoslovakia ( where I was in 1931) that stretched east of Praha a long way.

  yeah, Russia would love to have Nato countries waste all their armament (Leopards) in the Ukraine theatre, then to be able to re-integrate all their former vassals states, this time expulsing and replacing all these populations like they did in Ostpreussen, now Kaliningrad.

  Jesus paid it ALL for YOU

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  sadly, jehovah's witnesses depend on their religion to save them, and the bible does not point to religion as a saving point for salvation.. the video message below shows from the bible that for salvation, jesus paid it all for you.. are you saved?.

  Jesus, the "Carpenter from Galilee" or salvation through wood.

  Why did the deity not use the tree of life to heal the blunder of his children?

  He made up for it by saving them from his "water above everest" event, in a barge made of wood.

  Jesus was sustained by woodworking until he started his ministry, and

  the wood of the Execution/Salvation Event is iconic.

  to top it all, the trees of life for the healing of the nation in revelation.

  "would it not be loverly"

  The story, when seen by the public, is to bring males into the meetings. Where can we find these possibly well endowed widows, lookalikes of the Middleton sisters and Meghan Markle? Most central American widows look more like Merkle.

  The history of JW CONSCIENCE put in perspective (Brothers sent to prison: misled?)

  by Terry in

  conscience and war.

  clash of certainties.

  in 1616, the catholic church was absolutely certain the words of the holy bible were true concerning the planet earth and its place in the universe; especially in regards to this scripture "...the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved.

  interesting conclusion, I never connected the Superior position of the father and son with the de facto supremacy of the wt leadership, as it turned out between 1929 and the 60s reversal. and

  If your lot was terrible during the Vietnam war, think of the fate of bibel forschers during WW2.

  Another Tidbit regarding Acts 15

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  acts 15 has an interesting backstory (and textual history) that has been touched on elsewhere so here i will only say, the purpose of the section, and much of the book, is to re-envision the history of the early days of xtianity.

  the deep schisms, (some might say even different origins) are made to appear superficial and inconsequential.

  this theme contiues with the choice of two 'prophets' from jerusalem traveling back to antioch to share with paul and barny, named judas (yes another one) and silas.

  very tedious to try to reconstruct details after 2000 years, simple fact is,

  doctrine was not written exclusively by writers of the first century "Governing Body" only, , why should it be now?

  wt doctrine aside, anointing happens at baptism, see: Jesus, Cornelius. Fleegle, Winder are overlappers, "arrived at bethel prior to Franz's departure.

  Fleegle, a possible swiss name, from "pflegen" verb, to care for. or fliegen, to fly.
