Does It Bother You That Christian Churches and Christian People Are Being Persecuted and Killed?

even if your fed up with “religion” , i don’t want to see christians persecuted.

it’s happening in many parts of the world and it’s so wrong.

The media have a big role to play in this.

They seem to highlight offenders that persecute Muslims and identify them and their causes with no problem that are more often than not fellow Muslims of a different sect. Never a Christian religion.

However when extremist Muslim Religions attack and bomb Christian Churches they are rarely if ever identified as Muslims and the churches they attack are not identified as christian churches but only as religious people engaged in prayers. Or some other such ambiguity .

Russia

by Bill Covert in

article in newsweek today as to russian arrests.

it was on msm news..

Maybe the doctrines and messages that the GB of Jehovah`s Witnesses publish on line & in print invite such a reaction from certain countries .

Just think of what JW`s say and print worldwide about Russia is it any wonder they are not happy with it ?

Of course Russia would class them as an extremist organization not knowing what they may be capable of .

The GB bring this persecution upon their members themselves just as they did in Malawi while excusing the same conduct in Mexico .

I think ANZAC day today was attended by a record number of people all over the country. And I think that so many young people who were involved either as participants in the services or just observers in the crowds is a great testimony to the respect and gratitude they have for those who served in those wars and conflicts so that we may have and enjoy the lucky land that we live in .

Thanks for starting this post zeb on this day.

All Australians and new Zealanders should be proud of this day.

An uncle of mine was a P.O.W. of the Japanese in WW2

Its been 2000 years now since Jesus Christianity was Established and now today we have 40000 + Christian sects ?

emperor constantine might have got the message 17 centuries ago but surely god must by now realize that the mission has failed .?.

surely he should as he has on past experience in the old testament now approach a world leader of either the usa ,england ,russia ,china ,or the united nations or even israel and make his judgement`s known .?.

why has he been so quiet all of these years ?

His Rose colored glasses are back on

by HappyBlessedFree in

so my husband who was not attending meetings for the last four months, went to the special talk, the memorial and the meeting today.

he said he feels jehovah’s spirit is back and that they are all being so kind.. i am just sick to my stomach.

he just refuses to see anything as a problem.

Get him to show you one scripture in the New Testament in the NWT that requires Christians to be Witnesses of Jehovah .

Their is not one .

Do a little research of your own about how many scriptures their are in the NT that require Christians to be witnesses of , for , or about Jesus Christ and their are at least 20 such scriptures .

Philippians 2:9 -10 God gave Jesus a name that is above every other name ( including the name Jehovah ) "so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend ( in worship ) in those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground "

An obvious reference that God wants Christians to worship Jesus to be able to come to him in this period of time as a test of their faith.

If you don`t understand the decisions the GB make or it seems unreasonable at the time ,just trust the Faithful Slave and be obedient . Or some such words.

Do you think its possible the penny has already dropped on the F&DS / GB and they are planning to get out with a retirement plan that only you and I could dream about ?

It makes you wonder

Jehovah provides guidance in the publications and in programs from the faithful slave!

by stumbledbyothers in

this past weeks watchtower study, reminds us that jehovah provides guidance in the publications and in programs from faithful slave!

now you hear from the platform that god has given us jw broadcasting and jw.org.

lets see: thought wt says they have no special connection to god, nor special knowledge, they get no extra holy spirit, gods thoughts higher than mans???

smiddy3

Well judging by the performance and record to date of the Faithful Slave / WT / JW`s , Jehovah better not give up his day job because his guidance has been up shit creek so far.
