Spreading the "Religion of Peace" in Europe

by freemindfade in

so sad.

i love europe.

i love going there not as a tourist, but just blending in and spending time with locals in non-touristy local gems.. islam seems to be spreading their religion of peace throughout the continent.

Most people on this thread have no idea on what they're talking about. Most people who profess to be Islamic have no idea what they're talking about so what chance have we got? Most Christians and Westeners in general have no idea what they're talking about so how easy it is to clash one against the other and even a better clash if you're manipulating both sides.

Find out who the people are that have infiltrated both sides and the answer to this mess lies in their ideology. Clue - they are not Christians or Islamic.

Isis is manufactured.

Countries that have a closer understanding to pure Islam than others have now got leaders who have been bought. These puppet leaders are now practicing internet blackouts, have no freedom of media, imprisoning freedom of speech, are getting rid of secular laws and are tying the population back to fundamentalism.

Because most of the people on this thread do not understand more clearly, you are buying a very superficial argument that directly benefits the aim.

The so called ''free Islamists who are not standing up against these extremists'' are not always in a position to do so. They are being attacked from within their own religion and from outside of their religion. We should educate ourselves as to what is happening if we want to stop it.

If you're going to contribute to the mix, at least learn what PURE ISLAM is in order to understand who the enemies are.

(The Qu'ran needs to be read and then understood as ONE MESSAGE. The Qu'ran that starts with the words ''first you must read'' is in the correct order. The Qu'rans that start with stories about Jews etc. is not in the correct order. These are just tips.)

(I'm not an authority on this topic but I know enough to get what's happening.)

(I don't support any religion either.)

Some thoughts on guilt.

by New day in

had an interesting conversation with my wife recently.

she struggles with physical, emotional and psychological problems which have often caused her to miss meetings.

she mentioned how she is equally tortured by guilt if she misses meetings and ministry, and severe stress if she does them.

It sounds to me like you guys could do with a big change in your life. Is there any provision for this? I don't know your circumstances but maybe an extended break from the org masked as a holiday? Or a pack up and move to a different area, state or country even? If that's not possible, a new hobby that you can do together and if it includes the outdoors that would be very beneficial - bike riding? Pic-nics? Walking/hiking?

What I've found helps with depression is setting little things to look forward to everyday and big things to look forward to in the future. Maybe you can make a plan together and write it on a calendar. You can buy tickets for future events like concerts or events, book holidays etc.

I strongly also recommend you to look into natural medicines to compliment her medications. I will post a link to a page about essential oils beneath as just one area that can help. I like to make a pillow spray for when I sleep so I breath the oils in whilst my body is in repair mode but you can also have massage oils with them in or add to baths. Maybe you could look into this and also she should watch her diet. You are what you eat. Look up foods that uplift the mood and create more serotonin. Excercise is extremely important for depression also.

The diabolical plan of the WTBTS.

by DATA-DOG in

diabolical, or just really dumb, desperate and grasping for control; either way, the devil is in the details of the january 15, 2016 "study edition" of the watchtower tractazine.

so, we have two intertwined articles concerning "anointed" individuals within the sect of the wtbts inc. "the spirit bears witness with our spirit.

" and "we want to go with you people.

"I should have known" moments

by dubstepped in

i got ready for the meeting.

my wife did too.

we drove out to the kingdom hall and the closer we got the higher my anxiety would spike.

Skedaddle

Yes dubstepped, yes! Same here! Being a born-in, I kept telling myself I was a bad person and a failiure and I tried to conform - I didn't know any different. It made me ill.

I told my mother a few years ago that the kingdom halls were full of lonely, depressed, pill-popping, sad people and not the happy place that it's advertised to be - not exactly God's happy people are they with their fake prozac loveliness. Her head snapped right around and her eyes went wide. ''Do you really think so?'' she said. I shrugged and left her with the cogs turning. She has loads of female friends popping happy pills but she didn't know that I knew that.

Hello Everyone!!!

by Christian Gutierrez in

my name is christian and my wife is katja, and we have been out of the organization for a year and a half.

we were both regular pioneers and i was a ministerial servant.

we were very much happy to be witnesses and doing our best to do more for the organization.

Skedaddle

Welcome to you both! So nice to hear that it was social media that woke you up. Just interested, would you put it down to any one site or person? So glad you made it out and now can enjoy your free life instead of slaving away for the org.! Welcome again!

Disturbance during Memorial 2016.

by Ben131895 in

friends

two documented disturbances during memorial 2016. type 'memorial 2016' on youtube.

Skedaddle

Yes but the kind of persecution they were expecting was for just being Jehovah's Witnesses, no? I'm not sure they were expecting persecution to mean someone telling them they are refusing the body of Christ by not partaking of the bread and wine or court case after court case and Governmental inquiries due to peadophilia cover-ups or telling them their contributions are being spent on Payouts to abuse victims and property. I certainly wasn't under that impression back in the day. Persecution as far as I understood it was going to be imprisonment for remaining a witness, being attacked in the street, having my house damaged, my life threatened etc. Maybe I'm wrong...

TRUTH or OPINION--which is it when the Governing Body speaks?

by Terry in

when and why did the governing body suddenly appear?.

the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses, for all practical purposes, did not really exist as it does today, until a dangerous crisis** had developed in the watchtower religion at the headquarters beginning of the 1970’s.

historically, the founder of the watchtower corporate empire was a men’s clothing entrepreneur named c.t.

Skedaddle

Thank you Terry, I enjoy reading your posts.

It set out as a business and it still is a business. As much as I want to believe these GB members have all been honourable religious men wanting to guide Christians to the right path, I just can't. I want to, really...

Russell had to set out as relaxed as possible, as righteous as possible, as democratic as possible to attract members. Rutherford thought he knew better and it sounds like his ego demanded full control over everything. Since then it's a tangle of nutters and power struggles. Learning from previous mistakes and also lack of talent in writing and lack of new material and having to correct bad light, has shown that casting the net wider and having larger numbers running the show is a better way forward. If nothing else, it gives more bodies to point the finger of blame at.

Now we're in the corporate era and the age of where blame means lawsuits! So, devolved management is the new order of the day. In effect does this not mean that the president of the Watchtower would be responsible for any lawsuits filed against Watchtower? That president still exists, his name is on the money end of the business, Watchtower. So if say they had multiple cases against them and they wanted to shut up shop, in effect it frees-up the GB to stay open for business with Watchtower mark II looking after the ''business' end with Watchtower mark I, in liquidation. Nothing changes, good idea, hide the money, let's sell up, tuck it away and build cheaper HQ's.

But what of the teachings? Why has it gone from Russell's 'open-door' policy to full blown business cult? Was that the plan all along? I think so...

Was it not Russell's uncle who set up Skull and bones? His uncle wanted to be a minister too! Did not Russell have a fascination with teachings found in the illuminate? Did Russell not print illuminate wording and references all over his literature? He's in the illuminate graveyard, no? and as the years have ticked by sure, the pictures of illuminate symbols have subsided and they've tried to get away from the old pyramids and such but they've clung ever closer to teachings that resonate with the illuminate; refusing the emblems of Christ, child sacrifice both sexually and murder, human sacrificing with no-blood policy, secret meetings in all ranks, mind control techniques, dumbing down of followers, dodgy business dealings with parties of conflicting interests, instilling fearful, unforgiving, judgemental attitudes, introducing ranks, safeguarding and rewarding criminals, misdirecting worship to false G.O.D. ie. themselves, theocratic warfare a.k.a. lying, setting up multiple corporations and moving money until it's untraceable, to name just a few. JEHOVAH, the name illuminate use, WATCHTOWER, illuminate word and many more words. THE NEW WORLD translation of the holy scriptures! The new world in itself is a concept which the illuminate has as it's aim. Zion's watchtower? awake???

I think you see who they really are, no?

Sorry Terry... I got a little carried away there:)))
