How Long for The Light to Come On?

by new boy in

jw
friends

how long does it take for the light to come on?

how long to realize the great deception you were a part of.. of course everyone is different.

it took over 50 years for me.

smiddy3

It took me 33 years before I left and yes I Had warning signs long before that but chose to ignore them , silly me.

And it took me another twenty years for me to DA myself from them severing the ties on my terms not theirs.

I loved that movie and song from O brother Where Art Thou .

Can somebody post the American Marines singing the Elijah/Jehovah song ( I cant remember the proper name )

And I`m sure that would be one not to be played in a Kingdom Hall.

the note can be found on an article titled "part 1 of 4 love and justice in ancient israel".the note states -.

this article is the first in a series of four that will discuss why we can be sure that jehovah cares about us.

That Awake article is just another example of the GB speaking out of both sides of their mouth or another way of putting it is They speak with a forked tongue.

by AndersonsInfo in

https://elpais.com/elpais/2018/10/30/inenglish/1540888096_906284.html.

spanish government plans radical changes to child abuse law.

deputy prime minister conveys to vatican secretary of state reforms that will see pedophilia offenses have no statute of limitations, putting them on the same level as terrorism crimes.

That`s good news I only hope it also includes other religions like the JW`s

Satan gives jehovahs people a break

by nowwhat? in

south korea now allows conscientious objectors from military obligation.

since the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.

a tip of the hat to satan for allowing jahs people freedom to worship!

smiddy3

Wait a minute. Isn't that a contradiction?

On the one hand the bible says that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one .

The God of this system of things has blinded the minds of believers

Satan took Jesus up to a high mountain and offered him all the kingdoms of the world if he did obeisance to him

etc,etc,etc.

And then you have Rom:13 -1 That plainly states that God Jehovah is responsible for Governments of this world and whoever takes a stand against them takes a stand against GOD ,Jehovah .

This is how dangerous Islam is

by neat blue dog in

we're talking the death penalty for a woman who's accusers don't even have a consistent or fleshed out reason for wanting her dead:.

https://www.snopes.com/ap/2018/10/31/pakistan-acquits-christian-woman-facing-death-blasphemy/.

a public official who merely spoke well of her was killed by his own guard, and please note:.

No wonder Jehovah`s witnesses are afraid to try and convert Muslims in a strict Islam country knowing full well that 1 third of the worlds population has never been witnessed too despite what Jesus said .

Its now over 2000 years since Jesus gave that command and still nothing has changed Muslims in Muslim countries still haven`t heard this life saving message.

And their is no hope that they ever will.

23 The Law also protected family members from sex crimes by forbidding all forms of incest. (Lev. 18:6-30)

Wasn`t Lot held up as a faithful servant of Jehovah ? And didn`t Lot have sex not with just one of his daughters but .both of them ?

but Unlike the people of the nations surrounding Israel, who tolerated or even condoned this practice, Jehovah’s people were to view this type of crime as Jehovah did—as a detestable act.both of them ?

This article is the first in a series of four that will discuss why we can be sure that Jehovah cares about us.

Under Solomons /King Davids reign when Israel was enjoying Theocratic Rule of peace and prosperity ,didn`t they also have a Leper Colony within their midst ?

He hates sex crimes and wants to ensure that all, especially the most vulnerable, receive protection and justice.

I guess that`s why here in Australia not one Elder of a potential 3018 Elders in JC they were overseeing bothered to contact either the police or child protection services in the cases they were dealing with that involved sexual abuse against a minor in their religion.

Two reminders for active JW's & new lurkers to consider

by The Fall Guy in

(acts 9:15, 16) but the lord said to him: “go!

(revelation 17:6) ......and with the blood of the witnesses of jesus.

(revelation 1:5) "....jesus christ, “the faithful witness,”.

Another thing to consider is that the Tetragrammaton the four Hebrew letters representing God`s name nor its Greek equivalent four letters do not appear in the texts Jehovah`s Witnesses have based their NWT of the Bible on or their NWT of the Christian Greek Scriptures, nor in their Kingdom Interlinear of the Christian Greek Scriptures .

Inserting the name in the NT is just another lie to set them apart from Christendom.

The sinking of the Laconia two part BBC series

by smiddy3 in

i have just finished watching this program and found it quite disturbing in the sense that both sides of the war effort had so little regard for human life .. it might sound strange to say that in time of warfare when civilian casualties are rife on both sides ,however i think this is an exception.. except for the courage and heroic efforts of the german commander of the u-boat who tried and helped so many people to survive.. werner hartenstein.

his name should be honored by all the nationalities he saved.. and i was appalled by the americans who bombed the submarine on the surface of the water with a red cross flag in full view with civilians on deck and lifeboats in tow with many more civilians on board.. i think this was an exceptional incident in a time of war that both sides should have given way..

Approximately 75 years ago still , and yes Cg America had not yet joined the war and they were helping to protect allied shipping.

However their were all nationalities women and children on the u-boat deck as well as those that were tethered in life rafts behind the u-boat .

The German commander gave assurances he would not target any rescue vessel and did not believe he would be subjected to attack displaying the red cross flag and having civilians standing on deck.
