i picked this book up at a flea market for three bucks.
the art work is great.
i love the satan and .
with two men having sex in the background.
Well to be honest its looks two guys close one behind another in what one wouldn't consider an actual sex position.
By the way speaking of sex Rutherford was a adulterater who lived with his mistress in the Beth Sarim mansion while he was separated from his wife.
How's that for righteous wholesome virtue for a known and appraised JWS.
Tell that to a JWS now days and watch their mouth drop and head spin.
some say we will never get back to pre-pandemic days.
others say we should expect to live with masks and social distancing as the “new normal “.
still others are hopeful that we can live life realizing there might never be an end to covid or cancer or influenza but our lives must continue to go on.
Oh sure I'm quite confident governments will lift social restrictions once the greater population is vaccinated and the positive cases come down to almost nothing.
I dont believe this virus is going away completely though out the global human population.
Lets put it this way, they are going to have to or there is going to be trouble for them if they dont. ( ie. protests, riots )
Sooner or later the Covid virus experience will go down in history as one big major screw up caused by ignorant people bringing live or dead wild animals (Bats) into a public market place.
China has supposedly banned that or made it unlawful now ........good !
actors' acceptance speeches have often been a little dodgy - viewers don't care what political or social views actors may have, we typically appreciate actors acting well.. this year's oscars awards ceremony seems to be going above and beyond, however.. here's frances mcdormand's acceptance speech, in which she dedicates her victory to 'our wolf' and then howls like a bitch, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_be0awgwk.
Most people agree - they don't want political/social messages rammed down their throat when their favorite actor wins an acting award for his acting.
But how else are these actors and politicians going to popularize themselves with the intent of public approval and glorifying praise ?
After all Truth and Honesty Matters (THM) doesn't it ?
some of my jw family that is waking up posed that question to my jw family that is still hanging on to jw belief.. the stepbrother that posed that question told me;.
"in all these years of being a jw, i actually never gave it much thought as to why jehovah had to kill millions of innocent animals that had nothing to do with mankind becoming evil.".
i keep picturing in my mind, all the baby puppies and kitties that were destroyed by jehovah.
The animals at the time were sinful and evil, so god saw to it that they needed to be cleansed from the earth.
Unfortunately Noah's flood turned out to be redundantly useless because after the flood mankind and all the animals turn back to the way they were before the flood.
from a theological and biblical perspective, this has to be asked and critically examined.. the doctrines this organization and its self described fdsl (gb) chosen ones has preached and taught have now more than ever have shown to be false teachings.. the bible warns of false prophets and those who say things that god has not given them to say but the wts from its earliest beginning made proclamations such as jesus's return in 1874.. so if one were to faithfully adhere to what the bible says and more so jesus's instructions for preaching his gospel of a new kingdom to come, who really are jws loyal to, the wts.
and its top leading men or jesus and jehovah ??

They did or should I say J Rutherford in 1919
Why not they were lying anyways, say more bullshit to draw in more of the masses was the intent, kind of like self validation.
The reason why most mainstream Christian religions didn't say or proclaim the things the WTS did is because the bible said not to through Jesus's instructions into how to preach his Gospel.

"Millions now living will never die"
In reality it was more like millions now living will be conned by false prophet charlatans trying to sell and promote literature.

i have a question.. have every member of the governing body (past and present) been american citizens?.
while i understand that some may have been born outside of the us, ultimately to serve in the world hq long term, i imagine that they all had to become 'americans'?.
no zombie.
The American government's openness and freedom of religion Constitutional act availed the WTS/JWS to establish itself and grow pretty much unrestrained.
tax free too
God bless America
just reading on reddit...witnesses coming over to someone’s home after a death in the family to ‘pick over’ their possessions or asking about if they left any money to the cult?
i remember, at my previous place of employment, a mexican immigrant at my workplace, had converted to jw from catholic, although i did try to talk him out of it.
this has to be over 25 years ago.
That's because the WTS makes a big thing about how their members can list the organization in people's wills and surprising or not will their entire estate over to the WTS/JWS, land and property too. $$$
I would imagine some would intentionally do so to appease Jah and make themselves appear loyal to him and chosen earthly organization.

Unless ... Jehovah is racist?
Funny could be ,
He obviously has a preference for English speaking Americans who own and operate their own publishing company.
