  Who Directs the Activitie$ and Doctrines of the Hovering Body?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah’s witnesses boast that theirs is a “spirit-directed organization”.. see w88 3/1 pp.

  10-17 (my life in jehovah’s spirit-directed organization).

  they believe that their deceased founder, charles taze russell (who faced legal action by his wife for inappropriate behavior in his maids bedroom), is directing the modern-day work of jehovah’s witnesses.. after the founder, c t russell died, it was stated that he was still directing the work from heaven.. "though pastor russell has passed beyond the veil, he is still managing every feature of the harvest work.

  Looks like a photo bombed picture. Did they really assemble or is it another photo shop.

  Nothing scheduled here but they slip things in last minute. Has your wife caught attention for an indiscretion? Or is there some hanky panky? It could be just the talk in rotation from regular outlines and they just happened to mention it.

  Here goes: common sense tells us a stable marriage is better for society and details of arrangements and personalities (and bedroom practices) are no one else's business. Just saved you an hour.

  Theocratic Warfare and Taqiyya

  by aqwsed12345 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the concept of strategic deception exists in several religious and ideological contexts.

  in this article, we will explore and compare the theocratic warfare doctrine of the watchtower society and taqiyya in islam.

  both concepts have parallels in their mechanisms of permitting deception for religious purposes but differ significantly in their application and historical roots.. 1. theocratic warfare: the "rahab method".

  Unusual for me to read anything that long. Points right on. I will add atheist, governments, skeptics employ the same for their "god" be it a nation, race, sky daddy.

  Of course the GB abd JWs will say only they are right and entitled to such.

  Not paint; whitewashed.

  There are people who danger others either physically or mentally but the guidelines for avoiding them are illogical and enforced haphazard by ynvetted men.

  Shunning is and was blackmail.

  Trump wins

  by gavindlt in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.

  i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.

  how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!
