  ..........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

  Angels are Neuter Gender According to JW`s

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.

  Smuggling

  2. scandals

  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

  The problem with movies this last decade or so

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  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

  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
