New Convention Song “ It Will Not Be Late”
by BluesBrother in

this made me chuckle.

a new song that they are encouraged to practice for the convention.. “ we know your day will come, sure as the rising sun.

no matter how long it takes , it will not be late” …………... it is based on habakkuk 2 , we discussed this in depth around 1973/1974.

50 years overdue you say! Well from a human stand point that is true, but Gods workings and purpose is way above our reasoning and understanding. God cannot lie, hence the day will come when the Great Tribulation will begin. You can ridicule and question this topic all you like. However dramatic events must take place in the not too distant future for wickedness to end and a righteous new start to get underway.
Not point in being dead forever! Instead living forever in paradise is far far better.
Jesus promise to the robber executed alongside him will be fulfilled, it’s totally guaranteed.

Is the tide turning against covid vaccines?

have you seen this video about the covid vaccines?

have you got any views on the information?

i find it worrying at least.
Bribie

Millions of people who got the experimental shots have ended up with serious side effects such as blood clots, tremors, neurological disorders, strokes and very serious heart issues. Many young people in prior good health have suddenly dropped dead.
Its an epidemic of ill health that has proceeded these vaccines. Yet what bothers me is that certain members of the GB promoted these vaccines and told us to go and get jabbed. Telling the congregations we prayed about what was the best thing to do.
And now millions throughout the world are deeply regretting that they succumbed to such advice. Despite saying that it was a personal choice yet boasting that 99% of Beth elites got vaxxed. This is turning out to be a mess for all sorts of reasons.

Why you ask? Amazing that such a question is still even asked when the answer has been available for decades.

An epidemic of illness and disease in these last days. In Australia the health system is in crisis, too many sick people and less funding and resources to deal with the problem. So much junk food being consumed as well as a dependency for some on drugs and alcohol to manage their lives. Polluted air,water and environment in general adds to the difficulties in maintaining one’s health. I long for the new world where we can enjoy the real life!

A Rare Response to being Disfellowshipped
by Vanderhoven7 in

2. beliefs
to most, being disfellowshiped is a terrible loss of friends family and god's perceived approval.

but not to mark jones.

in his words..... the best way i can describe it, is like when you leave highschool for the last time.

Enjoying birthdays and celebrating some ancient Roman festival is chosen above living forever in peace and perfect health in a world where we can enjoy the real life.
Thats some stupid choice, but by all means go for it!

mass shooting at a kingdom hall in hamburg, germany this evening.

at least 6 or 7 killed, dozens injured.

JW’s are not paranoid and frightened about going to the KH.
This sort of violence is so common in these the last days and Armageddon will soon put a stop to it all. And the resurrection will undo all the suffering and hurt that Satans world inflicts on us all!

Our attendance at the memorial shows a deep respect and thankfulness for what Jesus did for us. The precious gift of his perfect life has redeemed us all and has given those who accept and respond to this gift the chance of living forever. God truly is love!
