perfect1, IMHO, your opposition, or lack of belief in God, is actually a spiritual state. Ironic isn't it?

non believers what if your wrong ?
by unstopableravens ini do not wish to debate anything here like i have said in the past i have much respect for most on this forum (believers and non believers) i am simply wondering if the atheist or non god believers every worry about what if your wrong?
it seems that many who were jw for so many years attach jehovah/yahweh with the watchtower and since the wt is wrong than god does not exist.
i ask this question only because i care about people and salvation thats why i want to help as many as possable come out of this cult,and since i truly believe in god i dont know what is in the cinscience of those who dont.

The Watchtower and the Masons
by ozziepost inthe latest edition of the free in christ ministries journal contains a very interesting article entitled the watchtower and masons.. drawing upon material from the book the watchtower & the masons by fritz springmeier, it gives the following parallels between the things that c t russell believed and those taught by the masons:.
* both believe jehovah is the most important word being the basis of their dogma, and the name of their god.
* both believe god yielded power to a lesser god.

Interesting, my preliminary research into the family of Charles Taze Russell (Roesel) seems to indicate that they were involved in the Protestant Reformation based out of Antwerp and that they might have been Marranos (crypto-Jews) exiled from Spain. Antwerp was the financial and intelligence centre of the Reformation, largely run and financed by Marranos who used the spice trade as their cover. It was also the home to the Reformation's largest printing press. Was the Watchtower merely an American carbon copy of this system?

Similarities between Roman Catholics and Jehovah`s Witnesses
by smiddy inboth claim to be the sole path to god (or did at some point ).
both claim to reach back to first century christians ,( though jw`s are a bit ambiguous about this).
the r.c church has a pope , the j.w.`s have a governing body ,both providing spiritual food to the faithful.

But, Band on the Run, More was not attempting to torture them into converting to the Catholic faith. They were tortured and exectued as subversives and revolutionaries. It's apparent that More realized there was a coup d'etat taking place in England. Catherine of Aragon's statements of Henry operating within a puppet regime are revealing, especially considering what happened thereafter. Like Bill Clinton, Henry VIII was being exploited through his passions. The Boleyns were agents of the Reformation.

So what about a pious Protestant who knows the gospel but who rejects utterly the doctrines of the RCC and all it stands for?
The Orthodox Church is a viable alternative. Orthodox are not under the Pope's authority, and some branches do not believe in the Immaculate Conception or Indulgences, yet they retain the beautiful doctrines of the Church Fathers. The Protestant Reformation is as tainted as the Catholic Church, if not more.
So WTF has all the centuries of fighting and forced conversion been about?
Forced conversions never came from the papacy. In fact, policy was the opposite, especially during the Spanish Inquisition. However, forced conversions were part of Reformation policies.
He subscribes to the doctine of the "Preisthood of all Belivers" and has utter contempt for the RCC.
This sounds appealing, Cofty, but even Luther learned through the hard school of experience that it wasn't realistic.
Band On The Run said:
Vatican II brought new life to the church.
On the contrary. Vatican II subverted and split the Church and is largely responsible for the Church's current demise. Vatican II was a hijacking by the Church's foes. I recommend reading Judaism and the Vatican, by Vicomte Léon de Poncins, on this matter.

Why President Obama Must Now Act to End Organized Child Abuse - by Gerald T. Slevin
by Sol Reform ingerald t. slevin: why president obama must now act to end organized child abuse .
another extremely important essay by harvard-trained former wall street lawyer jerry slevin.
jerry argues that "it is the right time for president obama to act" to protect children from childhood sexual abuse, as the catholic hierarchy clearly remains intent on stonewalling, diverting, and covering up.

by raymond frantz inthere is an article today in daily mail one of the largest uk newspapers about the plymouth brethren that should worry every thinking jehovah's witness.. the charities commision in britain is threatening the charitable status of a small offshoot of the aglican church the plymouth brethren .the reason ?
they don't perform enough charitable work for their local community .
at a time where the tax avoidance of large businesses such as google ,ebay,amazon and starbucks is under serious question in britain ,the charities commision's investigation into this little church's charitable status comes as no surprise .the 2006 charities act forced charities, often at high cost, to 'demonstrate' value to society .so far being a christian church automatically exempt you off taxes ,this is not the case anymore .

The Watchtower's charitable status is not the only one under threat. The Illuminati are staging a public relations camaign criticizing the tax-free status of all religions, especially the Catholic Church. By the time this happens globally, you can bet real estate prices will be so low that the Illuminists will usurp Church land for pennies on the dollar, not unlike 16th century England, except they outright stole the land back then.

Watchtower using MK Ultra/Monarch programming?
by NoStonecutters ini have always wondered if the watchtower, being a major player in the brainwashing industry, is part of or incorporates mk ultra programming.. for those not familiar with it, project mk ultra was an illegal cia mind control program that apparently still exists unofficially through monarch butterfly programming.
childern are often the victims of this program, as social engineers and psychological operators found that sexually and physically abusing children produced traits beneficial to the intelligence community, like photographic memory and amnesia (good for carriers of secrets and sensitive information).
monarch programming also produces candidates for manchurian operations.. anyways, it seems that the cia could definitely benefit by using the watchtower to carry out some of this programming, as the structure of the watchtower kingdom halls makes it easy for predators to abuse kids with impunity.. i did a search on this forum and found at least one person who claims to have been a victim of this, if i am reading correctly.

This is not a theory, Jeffro. This is admitted by the American Eugenics Society and other Malthusians alike. They just give it a nice sounding name like Planned Parenthood or Agenda 21. People who are stroked by warm and tingly-sounding names are naive and foolish. All of the "green" terms are the result of a sophisticated public relations campaign. I, for one, work in public relations, and I can spot this crap a mile away.
