i'm surprised i only noticed this just now, deuteronomy 23:1:.
"no man who has been castrated by having his testicles crushed or who has had his male organ cut off may come...".
🤣.
The ancient Hebrews sure weren't empathic and compassionate to those who had some physical harm come to them.
Like why would god reject men who had their nards removed or damaged ?
So I guess if guy lost a arm or an eye, god would reject those guys as well ?
im not sure if this has already been asked here but i have some questions about 1914. if jesus arrived "invisibly" in the year 1914 why do the anointed partake of the emblems?
why didn't they stop in 1914?.
if jesus is ruling in heaven then why are the anointed still on earth?
Interesting .. thanks Atlantis
this stupid little autistic twit is a no talent hack.
she can not dance, sing or even talk well.
the liberal idiots follow this little idiot like she is the oracle of delphi.

When a person goes out their way to demean and degrade a person with mental health issues tells much of that person's own character doesn't it ?
All because that particular person expresses environmental concerns.
Which brings up the question who is really mentally damaged in heart , mind and soul ?
Pretty sad ... Rafe

The WTS leaders self proclamation they are anointed was really a opportunistic means to self glorify and as well empower themselves as the select truly righteous ones, therefore in theological terms should be awarded into the anointed class.
This started I believe in 1919 when J Rutherford proclaimed god had chosen him and the IBSA organization.
To put it bluntly, how could they be if they were false prophet charlatans ?
a moment ago i clicked onto the link at https://bigglobaltravel.com/cities/funny-pictures-canada-yh/?utm_campaign=canada%20pictures%20shira1606%20dup0109%20msn%20edg%20en%20-%20desktop%20usa%20ya&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=msn_us&utm_content=msn.com&psl=g_61cd4e&network_code=cm which shows slides of canada.
viewing those slides (in combination with the other things i have seen and heard about canada) made me feel that maybe canada is about as close as one can get in the western world to a nation which is now a spiritual paradise, much like a new peaceful order now.
imagine that the usa would never have had a civil war.
it is highly unlikely that is the cause of homelessness, crime rates and other social ills currently befalling Canada.
The high cost of living for example in Toronto or Vancouver has brought on some dire problems own its own.
You have to live here and see the changes to know what I'm talking about.
And yes this new division between the rich and the poor has caused an increase in crime and drug abuse.
so, i saw dune (1984) yesterday.
i knew it wasn't gonna be great, but deary me.
i'm not gonna lie - this film is not good, in fact it's laughably bad in places.. first, i'd like to know the thought process that went behind choosing david lynch to write/direct.
Saw both movies now and I would have to say one word for both ... Boring
Some books/stories just don't make for good engaging movies.

yes, that is how they want people to esteem the magazine.
they believe it is the unique mouthpiece of god.
Cultism boils down to ideological totalitarianism.
Well said !
here is a 'killer' question for jw's.
which description best describes how you see yourself and how you feel?which would you choose?
are you: 1. a christian 2. a jehovah's witness here's the scenario.
The Gospel the JWS profess is not strongly supported in the bible, as a matter of fact its tainted with apostasy really.
True Christians hold to all of Jesus's words not just some and disregard the rest.
Nevertheless they still hold their heads up over all other Christian faiths calling others unrighteous when they claim they are the true righteous ones, a contravening oxymoron of theology when you think about it.
I guess every religion has its own self supporting propaganda.

Canada is great place to live, born here and live here 60 + years.
The top main cities are not so great to live in now based now upon the cost of housing which has risen dramatically due to rich oversea immigrants moving over.
This has made for a lower style of living for many and a growing number of homelessness.
Not too sure about the recent federal politics either but I was never effected by the pandemic problem financially..
their are millions of peoples all around the world who believe in one god or another christian and non christian.. all of them pray to their gods for this, that, and the other.
by far the majority never hear god answer them audibly ,however most assume he answers their prayers or not , by what transcribes next in their lives.. you pray for what is right according to god and he answers your prayers ,otherwise your prayers are not answered .. those few who who do claim to hear the voice of god audibly are usually found to have mental problems ,either physical or emotional.. if you do good you will be rewarded either now or in the hereafter , if you do bad you will feel the wrath of god and his judgments.
i equate this with superstitious beliefs ,what do you think ?.
Your correct for most part Mick but one has to accept that human ignorance as being a core element to why the ancients believed in powerful supernatural beings.
Essentially that gave them answers to what they saw and experienced.
This facilitated fear and superstitions to promote social behaviors within a given social environment..
You can see that in every organized religion to varying degrees.
