jehovah’s witnesses were drilled with the idea that all governments are from satan and that we should have nothing to do with anything involving support of the government, voting, or political talk for one party or another.. now that you are out, is patriotism important to you?
is voting important to you?
are you supportive of your country?.
My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”
Thanks blondie
This is often half quoted to deride jingoism. A lot of us recognize problems, try to mitigate them others want to enforce their will no matter what
on june 25, 2019 watchtower ny filed petition for a writ of certiorari in the u.s. supreme court.
the society asks to reconsider a $4 million judgment against it in a california child abuse case.

1. Yes. All jw activities are part of "the ministry"
2. No. Establishes the position held
3. Wt would not want a trial by jury anywat so is moot
newest mib next for me.
i brought myself up-to-date on the older ones on cable.
here's a trailer:.
Aladdin with will smith. Except it is a musical. Will Smith is always good
..........make a phone call.📞.
yes, that’s what the multi billion dollar corporation, watchtower, claimed they did in the 2019 convention.. devastating mudslides in rural myanmar left thousands of people cut off from food, water and medicine, many of them witnesses.. watchtowers solution?
fly in a helicopter of medics and engineers?
Always the arrangement is for " someone " to provide the means, especially regarding funds. Look at any story, it is always someone who opens their home, buys an airline ticket, new stuff. Never wt money.
And all the experiences given as proof are in fact only anecdotal with no way to verify
what about the bible ,does that agree with the jw theology ?.
therefore angels are sexless ,yet we find in the bible on a few occasions where they have lusted after women ,taken a mans form and had sex with women.. .on one occasion producing hybrids half human half angel.. on other occasions they just wanted to satisfy their sexual desires.?
their sexless aren`t they ?
You cant depict a spirit so the illustrations are something humans can relate to. Just like the streets of gold, pearly gates are something that can be imagined.
the international assemblies are on... and the missionaries are coming home... and leaving richer.. i have, in all seriousness, been told by a co that the missionaries going home have large sums of money hidden in their luggage as they go back to their assignments.
.
he related how one couple was almost caught with the undeclared cash as they passed through customs.. this has been going on for quite some time, the watchtower using missionaries are mules.. i bet with all the kingdumb hall sales the pace has picked up..
I have heard of money being transferred so it can be used in places where transfers will raise alarms. Do you think you can send money into China for a religion? I do not think it is the gazillions mentioned though. How about t gfe other direction?, like Russian assets being transferred out?
As for assets. They must have full time lawyers keeping track of which corporation own what
actually, i think i've discovered two issues.. the first is that there are too many soft reboots, remakes and re-imaginings.
don't get me wrong, hollywood has always done remakes and some remakes work very well.
the fly (1986) and the thing (1982) are actually remakes/re-imaginings of the original 50s films.
Good movies are made, try some of the indies. IF you can find one. Catering to the lowest common denominator instead of making movies for certain audiences. You dont have to like my favorites, just as I may not like yours, but that doesn't mean I want all your movies gone
this is simply disturbing and infuriating!.
the may 2019 wt has defiantly and arrogantly been released by the gb, and it is full of their disgusting excuses for not complying with authorities!.
(i have seen and read all the articles, but cant work out how to upload a link here - perhaps someone can assist?).
will they bring up how the child confronts the accused?
I am sick of that Joseph story---- shagging the bosses wife has always been a bad idea

Elder commented during st study that ve sure to come next week to find out when reporting does have to be done. I can hardly wait to hear the local take on 2 witnesses
so some ex-jws and i were at dinner last night talking about how some of the ones baptized this year were so young.
a few under the age of 10!!
can you imagine if a kid got dfd at that age.... would the congregation shun them?
There were children baptized all through the 20's on, so the 18 isn't true. Not saying it shouldn't be, it even should be 21 or 30
