The KOTN according to the "Green" book Y. W. B. D. O. E. was the USSR which is a lot different to what Russia is today .

It also claimed that the Anglo American Alliance was the K.O.T.S. However "Great Britain" is not so "great" anymore either.

As nowwhat says they seem to be ignoring the real player on the emerging scene taking place here , that of China and her pushing in the South China sea ,and economically and politically around the World today with aid and loans to developing Countries etc,etc.

I just don`t think Jehovah`s Celestial chariot is keeping up with World events as they are happening .

Is Being a “Manly Man” a Bad Thing?

by minimus in

so much is said regarding men , in a negative way.

shaving commercials are now lecturing us as to how bad we really are.

men should be less masculine.

I loved your contributions Giordano , I had started Judo as a teenager about a year or so before i was contacted about the JW`s and soon after gave it up .

I`ve always regretted it because I loved practicing the sport .

And I personally believe that martial arts should be promoted to young females especially at an early age if they are so inclined to take it on .

It could save their lives or their virginity later on .

my wife and i just enjoyed a family reunion with both my sons ,one wife and one grandchild 10 years old ,where they stayed at our house for a week .. the best week we have had for many a year .

the couple live only 2 hours away by car and the other son and his child live 2 states away 2 hours by plane.. and thankfully they are no longer associated with the borg that i now regretfully brought them up in , so the borg will never get their children.. it was a happyfying time .

Blood doctrine question

by AuntBee in

when witnesses go on and on about bloodless medicine, they often imply that this will work in all situations.

do they really believe this, because it's what the society has led them to believe?

are they just trying to divert their own mind, from the reality of blood deaths, that still happen?

An interesting article here AuntBee by one who knows.

Sign at gilead graduation

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

you know, i'm not such a conspiracy thinker.

but why do they display this sign / symbol at the background?

with some litle imagination it is a freemason sign.

smiddy3

So Christendom can`t use symbols because it proves they are either Satanic or just plain false religion .

However the "True " religion /Jehovah`s Witnesses can use symbols such as "W" or "JW.ORG" or the Tetragrammaton and it doesn`t offend Jehovah / Christ Jesus ?

Double standards anybody ?

How Would You Help A JW. Recognize They Do Not Have The Truth?

by minimus in

jw
friends

every witness says they are “ in the truth”.

that expression implies that what they say is the “truth “.

how could you help a witness understand that they clearly do not have “the truth “?.

smiddy3

Ask them why when Jesus came to inspect and approve "the truth" in 1919 why have all the teachings that he approved of in 1919 are now considered apostate teachings?

That`s it in a nutshell Tenacious ,,and I thank Don Cameron and his book "Captives Of A Concept " to showing me this and many more subtle twists of the Scriptures the WT /JW `s do to validate their twisted version of Christianity .

For their own agenda.

Historical snapshot of how Watch Tower manipulated $$

by TerryWalstrom in

charles t. russell, age of 13, joined the congregational church (dumped presbyterian).. he went (like girl scouts are sent out with cookies to sell) door to door to raise money for the congregational church.. attitude as a youthrussell hated fundraising.

he had to ask poor people to part with their money.

he said he felt he was "fleecing the flock.".

Just one question: Why doesn't the WTBTS (in the U.S.) have to publicly show its balance sheets nowadays?

One can only hope that in the not too distant future they will be required to .

When Israel was living under a Theocracy ,was it a Paradise ?

by smiddy3 in

the bible books that speak of a time when the israelite`s were enjoying jehovah`s blessings , isnt it true they were still dying from old age ,sickness , and death ?

didn`t they have a leper colony in their midst ?....yes.

didn`t they still have the poor among them ?
