wasn't russia strongly hinted recently to be the king of the north once again, as it tried to shut down the wtbts there?

and isn't the king of the north said to lead a coalition of nations against babylon the great?

so why is the king of the north allying itself with one half of the king of the south, the anglo-american world power?

Watchtower's Illogical Teachings
by Vanderhoven7 in

just writing down some notes to share with jws when i meet them.

here are a few of the problems of logic i see in their doctrines.

perhaps you can add to them.. systemic contradictions – jws boast about fighting for religious freedom – that is their freedom to share their differing views with people outside the organization - yet there is no freedom amongst members to disagree with any official teaching within the organization without the threat of losing friends and family.

by MrTheocratic in

2. beliefs
it was announced this week that the theme for the 3 day convention is "do not give up".

these are the words that are spoken to someone who is struggling and is in the process of giving up.

this theme tells me that many in the organization are tiring out and slowing down.

with all the cattle, sheep and others wouldn't they be shitting and peeing all over the place?

along with the gallons and gallons of blood being drained and then the flesh being burned as well.

Why would Jehovah give Satan rulership of the World.?

romans 13 : 1-7 "let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities" etc,"the existing authourities stand placed in their relative positions by god" 2".therefore he who opposers the authourity has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ,those who have taken a stand against it will recieve judgement to themselves "etc,etc,.."..to him who calls for honour such honour.".

isnt this plainly stating that christians should be supporting and playing along with the governments of this sytem of things ?

that it is in fact an arrangement of god ?

... old people!

yeah, i know, as pete kaye would say: "old people, you can't beat 'em .... pity".. but seriously, where else would you have a bunch or 17 year old lads chatting with some 80+ year old guy?.

i remember some of the old people in our old kh and they were genuinely nice people.

The ends of empires
by Half banana in

i’ve been reading up on the last days of the roman empire.

the rule became a tetrarchy; by four regional emperors or caesars.

the emperors had these necessary concerns; they always gave first consideration to the security of their own positions followed by the annual extraction of taxes and their territorial authority.
