Russia=King of the North, USA=King of the South? New info coming in from Annual Meeting 2018
by Jules Saturn init was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.
for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.
very interesting times!

And when Russia fails to live up to the Governing Body`s expectations as the King of the North they will probably shift their focus on to the emerging world power of China as the King of the North .
Watch this space.

Paradise After Death:Mark Twain calls out some of the stupider ideas-
by Captain Schmideo2 in"in paradise, i am going to visit [insert favorite bible character here]" - said at least once in their life by every devout jw.now, for some hard, cold practicalities-excerpt from "captain stormfield's visit to heaven"“oh, there are a lot of such things that people expect and don’t get.
for instance, there’s a brooklyn preacher by the name of talmage, who is laying up a considerable disappointment for himself.
there’s millions of people down there on earth that are promising themselves the same thing.

Considering God's 'failure'
by TerryWalstrom injehovah's "failure".
we humans never seem to consider god in terms of anything but power and ability.
the idea of 'failure' is preposterous.. .

Well he put two perfect humans in the Garden of Eden and that failed .
He created Angels in the heavens as perfect beings and that failed
And he is still powerless to correct anything here on earth to this day ,so that`s another failure.
It makes you wonder ,who is the Almighty God ,Jehovah or Satan.?

Just to clarify a point for those who weren`t around or were too young during the "Cold War"
Russia back then was known as the USSR ,The Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics that consisted of a number of East European Countries under the control and domination of Russia.
The book produced by the WT society "Your Will Be Done On Earth" about Daniels prophecy`s named the USSR the group of nations and not Russia alone as the king of The North at that time.
And when the USSR crumbled with the fall of the Berlin wall the USSR ceased to exist .And the Nations that were under Russian control got their independence
And the king of the North was no longer identifiable according to the WT. at that time in the early 1990`s .

Court documents reveal Watchtower's tactics in Montana child abuse case
by LevelThePlayingField inthere were numerous objections and claims that watchtower lawyers made to try and get out of being held responsible for their negligence and malice.
here’s the juicy ones:.
montana is a mandatory reporting state, but watchtower lawyers claimed that the law for reporting abuse only applies to “individuals” and they are “corporations”.

Typical response from the WT/GB would be : " leave it in Jehovah`s hands he will fix it in his own due time"
Maybe that would be the best outcome all around if and when the WT does start throwing Elders under the bus then maybe it would wake a few more up out of their delusion.

If anything, the produce of their farm would be humanity’s most valuable possession, and would therefore be the most valued sacrifice.
My thoughts exactly and God should have been pissed off at the slaughter of animals he had created .And according to JW theology mankind still didn`t eat meat for another 2000 years ? Until after the flood of Noah`s day.

Jesus rejected Mosaic concept of God
by Ireneus inmoses formulated his own image of god (in violation of the very essence of exodus 20:4) thus believed god is like humans who feel love is ‘you must do what i want’ [rather than giving others the space in which ‘they can do what they want and still i love them’] and conveyed into the readers this weak image of god who takes revenge/laments for not being loved.
thus ot image of god is someone who is actively involved in the responses of people on earth.. however, jesus conveyed the truth about god when he said god makes provisions for life’s enjoyment equally for all types of people alike (mathew 5:44-47) as he wishes good for all people [benevolence for its own sake] and renews the same in case they are depleted/destroyed (mathew 19:28) with no intervention whatsoever in between.
thus jesus presented an image of god who is not actively involved in the responses of people on earth because there is a guiding mechanism already in place—externally and internally.. external: people can easily choose their course of action looking at the results available in plenty because anyone can see the chain of action in anyone’s case: destiny is the result of habit, and habit is the result of tendency, and tendency is the result of repeated action, and action is the result of thinking and thinking is the result of belief system, and belief system is the result of family, religion, country … into which one is born.

My point being I`m not a highly educated man and it does not take a highly educated person to see all the flaws ,inconsistency`s ,contradictions ,absurdities , etc,etc,contained in the Bible and their are a variety of versions available all offering different books to choose from .
And one helluva lot more scriptures relating to the religion of the Bible that humans in their wisdom not God`s / Jehovah`s deemed not worthy of making it into any of the accepted Bible cannon in use today.
At least I have the advantage of knowing and having at my fingertips a lot more information that wasn`t available to any of the bible writers of times past plus the historical record that has now passed since their time.
And that is why I posted as I did above.
