  Disfellowship-arrangement of JWs is not from God, but from uninspired writers.

  by Abraham1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1) jesus set the absolute standard on how to deal with the disagreeable or even with those becoming inimical in matthew/5/43-48.

  there he said: ‘don’t behave like pagans who love/greet only those loving/greeting them.

  but be like our heavenly father who loves everyone without differentiating whether one is friendly or inimical towards him.’ this is his eternal standard.

  Psst. The Bible is not from god either, but is also from uninspired writers.

  Liberals really are so stupid

  by mickbobcat in

  so the liberals and their useful idiots, want to ban guns but then do the dumbest crap like letting rioters go and just glad handing criminals.

  now crime is being helped along by the left and people are afraid the police can not protect them and the public's desire for gun control is at an all time low.

  they the liberals are dumb as dog shit.

  Nearly all of America's gun problems are caused by democrat policies and happen in the cities they control and run. Their policies are nearly always to let of violent and dangerous criminals and to encourage it. They claim prison reform is needed - it is, to stop so many dangerous felons being allowed to walk the streets to re-offend without consequences.

  When you see what is happening now in Australia with detention camps is every reason there is never to give up your arms.

  I'd rather live next door to a conservative American that owns firearms than most other groups. Conservatives are way more law-abiding, which is why the rioters aren't being shot as often as they should be.

  Also, stop pretending that the UK is a bed of roses, there is rampant knife crime in some areas.

  If Ever GB Members Deserved To Be Thrown in Jail It's When ...

  it was when the governing body started to disfellow-ship jehovah`s witnesses from taking blood transfusions in an effort to save their lives .. resulting in many hundreds if not thousands of needless deaths of men women and children who by this coercion died from this doctrine.. and to this day they still go unpunished .

  Why not jail the parents?

  They are the ones who ultimately made the decision.

  If you follow bad advice and don't look into the qualifications of those giving it, that's on you.

  I know everyone wants to blame the GB for everything but ultimately I think we need to place blame where it lies. If you put blind faith in someone or some belief system and chose to follow it to the point that your child dies, and you didn't bother to put effort into researching things ... that's all on you.

  In the same way that parents today can believe in homeopathy and watch while their child dies. Yes, the advice is nuts, but the parents are the ones who follow it.

  Reminder: there are nowhere near enough genuine hate crimes to justify the claims that society is inherently and institutionally racist. Demand really does outstrip supply, which is why they have to invent them.

  The number of fabricated hate crimes is actually astonishing. Anytime now I see a report of some racist graffiti, I expect a black person to be found to have done it - and I'm usually correct. The fake incidents are quite easy to spot, especially if people are interviewed.

  Of course the "correction" never usually gets anywhere near as much media attention as the original "hate crime". This is why this case is so important - because they finally overreached and it was someone with a higher profile and deeper pockets who got caught and high-up politicians and celebrities who were so vocal about the whole thing.

  They should set an example of him (That's how it works right? What people said about the Rittenhouse trial ..)

  Why some are religious or not?

  by Vidqun in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  time article: several years before pope francis became pope of the catholic church in 2013, psychologists began to debunk the idea that being more educated meant a person was less likely to be religious.

  instead, a new social psychology theoryone that had little to do with education levelarose.

  according to dual process theory, people are either deliberative or intuitive when they make decisions.

  "Follow the science" really means "Follow the scientists ... that we paid for"

  The "hide the data for 55 years" is hardly convincing that things are as safe as they claim (unless you're a grade A idiot).

  Also, remember how anyone who died within 30 days of a positive test was classed as a "Covid Death"? Well the counter to that is completely opposite. If you die within 14 days of a vaccine, not only are you not counted as a vaccine death, you are counted as an unvaccinated death.

  Yes, you heard that right. If you die from a vaccine then you become more evidence of the efficacy and safety of the vaccines.

  The anomaly was picked up because vaccinated people statistically have a much lower death rate for non-covid causes, which caused the dubious statistical tricks to be uncovered.

  So many politicians suddenly getting filthy rich and also news agencies with links to Pfizer.

  It's all lies now, and it's time it ended.

  Yeah, "he didn't point the gun at anyone", 'cause in looney-liberal land bullets fly in circles.

  Why are they allowing him to run a PR campaign? Because he's a Hollywood star ...

  He can claim what he likes, it doesn't alter the fact that HE pointed a loaded gun at someone, on HIS movie, and it went off and killed someone.

  No one thought to create a car that can drive itself into a stopped truck at full speed.

  Self destroying cars, so people have to buy new ones. Genius!

  Don't be daft, the WTS admit they were wrong?

  No, they were right then and they are right now, even though things changed in between. Oh, and God's standards never change. Don't think about it too much.

  it is reliable and objective.".

  "I appreciate that I can trust the news on jw .org. It is reliable and objective."

  Wow, that has to be up there with relying on the Cuomo brothers on CNN to keep you informed.
