I have a question about these letters and also about the news-told-in-advance that appear here. And I am not in any way trying to lurk some secrets out of you people here - but how are they obtained? Do people at HQ give them to you or tell it to you because you make them believe you are 100 % in, or do they know you are not quite as in as that but still give it to you, or - well, how do you get this inside information? Once again, I am not trying to make you disclose any secrets, but just in general - how?

child welfare services in norway have reportedly removed five christian children from their parents' home and placed them into foster care after the parents were accused of radicalizing and indoctrinating their children with christianity.. according to the british-based christian institute, norway's child protection services, known as the barnevernet, seized the three sons and two daughters of ruth and marius bodnariu in mid-november.. .

although the family wasn't quite sure at the time why their children were being taken away from them, their lawyer discovered that the parents were being charged with christian indoctrination.http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-family-gets-5-children-taken-away-by-govt-for-teaching-god-punishes-sin-151693/.

Norway is the only country in Europe that never signed charter protecting the rights of children.

Sorry to disappoint you, that is so utterly wrong.

:::::::::

there will be demonstrations in front of Norwegian embassies all over the world, but Norwegian population will be totally unaware of them like it was last year.

Again sorry to disappoint you, these are shown in the television news programs and newspaper columns whenever they take place - whenever 10 or 20 misled persons show up in front of an embassy.

liberal-left social engineering while implementing one of the brutal Nazi methods of its WWII past.

For your information, Norway has a right-wing government, and during WWII was occupied by Germany like so many other countries in Europe, and thus have no more a WWII "past" than any other country, unlike Germany/Austria/Hungary/Roumania/Slovakia which were allies.

the issue of inbreeding (the highest incidence among of all European population)

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear - please don't fall victim to such bullshit. What the Lithuanian, Estonian and other front persons are saying is just good plain old fashioned bullshit.

WATCHTOWER LIBRARY 2015

by adamluis in

we have ours.

i have attached pic.

waiting for my copy.

TheOldHippie

It is not like a magazine from 1994 is now changed because of a new understanding of a topic. As for books, the electronic version corresponds to the latest paper version. As for magazines, there have been a couple of changes, but in those instances, they were typos that were detected early and so the translated issues already had the changes (because they back in the old days were issued four-five months after the US originals).

If they really had wanted to change old versions, then why do you still find in the Ezechiel commentary book in the elctronic version that the prwaching work will be completed before the end of the 20th century? So changes are only made where there are changed printed versions.

This affects many organisations in India. It has been made unlawful for any organisation in India to receive funds from abroad. They are all on their own. So the aim of the anger should be the higher powers in Delhi, not in Brooklyn.

by Naoscillator in

canaanitelike!.

here it is in context, just in case you're curious about how to use this new word.. article: being faithful leads to god's approval.

Try googling Canaanitelike and you'll be amazed at how many times the word has been used BEFORE the supposedly new word appeared in the WT.

Spanish defenders of the Watchtower? (Or other languages!)

by slimboyfat in

are there any unofficial watchtower defenders publishing in spanish?

i'm doing a survey and i think i've got most of those writing in english covered.

then there's gerard gertoux and a few others in french, furuli from norway, matteo pierro in italian, johannes wrobel and others in german.

TheOldHippie

Has nothing to do with Spanish - but in both German and English Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig writes interesting books on his field of research, which is molecular biology of both plants and animals. He is now retired, but was a professor at the well known Max Planck Institute. His book on the supposed evolution of the long-necked giraffe is well worth reading, and he recently has a book published on dog species or breeding as well. That one is also downloadable free of charge from his website. His books are available from Amazon. He has small, nice phrases interwoven in his texts from time to time, as in his book on giraffes, in the acknowledgments section, where he gives thanks to those who have inspired and helped him, and towards the end writes that the greatest thanks go to the Creator of such marvelous creatures as the giraffes. He was interviewed in Awake some years ago, in a special issue on creation.

The Elders are Coming Help!

by LaurenM in

so the elders keep bugging me and pestering me about having a meeting with them to "introduce me to my new congregation" for some reason (do any ex elders know what that even means??).

i keep postponing and making excuses and they are getting more and more aggressive.

i finally agreed for them to come over today, but really don't want to..should i hide from them again?

TheOldHippie

Funny thread.

Perhaps they are nice, caring persons just wanting to drop by and say hello and see if they can be of any help or support - and here "half USA" is online trying to scare the shit out of each other 'cause some man eating monsters are coming.
