about a month ago, some unknown poster who looked like one of those guys with a tin foil hat posted on a youtube video that north korea soldiers were landing on russia, during the night, armed to the teeth.
he was making these crazy comments that north korea had committed to help russia fight against nato and that they were getting ready to use nukes against nato countries if nato started using them first.
in less the an hour the video was taken down.
I am not really sure what the alt-right angle will be on this one.
" Only if those pesky Ukrainians didn't fight back , Putin wouldn't have been forced to enlist the help of the most evil regime on the planet. It is all the fault of Biden and Harris ".
I am sure there will be banners of Trump, Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson in Pyongyang before the end of the week.
as many probably remember, in 2018-2020, multiple kingdom and assembly halls were set on fire in the state of washington, so fbi, atf, local sheriff and arson alarm foundation offered $61,000 in rewards for information leading to arrest of the arsonist.
the attacks (seven arsons and one shooting) included:.
march 19, 2018: two arson attacks - one at a tumwater kingdom hall and the second at a kingdom hall on cain road in olympia.
I bet it was actually just Tony Morris just part of his greater persecution complex plan. Too bad the case was actually cracked by a man in a van with a talking dog..
the jw idea that believers are destined either for heavenly life or for endless life on earth comes in for significant criticism by critics of various kinds.
even some groups, such as the christadelphians, who share belief in a future paradise earth, don’t share the view that some christians are destined for life in heaven.
yet there is surprisingly quite a lot of evidence in the bible for the existence of two distinct groups of believers.
I think you lost the plot when you said " Proof " and " Book of Revelation ".
The book is more likely just a hated filled revenge letter against the Roman Empire that doesn't have an audience beyond first century Jewish Christians.

please take the time to watch.
i am not good with words but i have heard someone so eloquently explain how i feel about something.
A few months ago I was passing a witnessing cart on the street in a community I had no connection too. I stopped and started a brief convo.
Me- It seems to me that this religion is nothing but eschatology based nonsense.
JW- What is eschatology ? I have never heard that term before.
Me- Really ?
JW- Yes.
Me- Are you and Elder ?
JW- Yes.
Me- Shakes head and walks away.

he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.
a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.
generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..
I know a couple elders who can blow me.
wally, a youtuber from jw thoughts highlighted something that was said by kenneth cook jnr in the annual meeting.
he thinks it may be removed before they publish the agm.
i doubt we would see it in writing either.. part of kenneth's talk was about the changes regarding disfellowshipping and the clip from jw thoughts youtube shows him saying -.
I don't know how these people even take themselves seriously.
i was listening to a lunchtime call in radio show about jws and the personal experiences of being disfellowshiped, and a former elder called in saying he was disfellowshiped for asking about jws and their involvement in the un in the 1990s ,and he just said look it up.. thinking that it was a made up lie ,so i looked it up and it was true even a letter confirming it from the un itself and that led me here and to jwfacts and further research into the history and teachings of jw and walked out the door about 5 years ago.

-The endless adoration of the Governing body. I swear it is the North Korea of religion.
-The things that were obviously " Identity markers " ( Christmas, Birthdays, Blood transfusions ) which really had no biblical restrictions. Look at us, we are different.
- The core foundation of the religion is eschatology based nonsense, not really the gospel message.
for jws who believe that jehovah had a hand in reviving the truth in the nineteenth century this is enough explanation for how jws managed to achieve a closer approximation to early christian beliefs and practices than other groups.
but is there an explanation for this phenomenon that doesn’t rely on supernatural intervention?
new testament scholar james dunn explains the difficulty of interpreting the biblical texts in this way:.
It is just eschatology based nonsense. I actually have more respect for bible scholars who admit they don't actually have all the answers but try not to be assholes to each other.
