Spreading the "Religion of Peace" in Europe

This is a coming disaster for Europe, the states failing their populations, (think Rotherham, Cologne) . In Germany now, sex crimes are daily reported (and sadly suppressed by the press) . On the other hand, It will have chilling effect on the watchtower work, publishers warned they will have their throats cut in the house to house work , as happened to me. What an irony for Germany, having eliminated the most advanced and integrated minority, The Jewish people in the 1940, now is being invaded by a group of alien people that will be a cost, a liability to them. -

Another generation....
by joey jojo init has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?
the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.
the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

TD: "-JW teaching, other sheep did not exist in the Christian Era -- you are right, in wt teachings, if you partook and fumbled, unworthily. (did not believe wt doctrine to come) you went to gehenna. of course, if one reads the context, the Other Sheep were really the no-jewish Christians, starting with Cornelius. , a thought that never occurred to Rutherford the non-theologian. -

TD: good thought. sooner or later the Great Crowd (of Other Sheep) will have to start overlapping too. according to the figures, just about right now, not later than 14 years from now. The overlapping anointed groups go to 2075 , overlapping OS to ~2135. -

Some thoughts on guilt.
by New day inhad an interesting conversation with my wife recently.
she struggles with physical, emotional and psychological problems which have often caused her to miss meetings.
she mentioned how she is equally tortured by guilt if she misses meetings and ministry, and severe stress if she does them.

New day: "--I am a former elder who has held most congregational posts. I now feel zero guilt. But do you feel any guilt in having through your teaching as an elder participated in deluding so many? -

The diabolical plan of the WTBTS.
by DATA-DOG indiabolical, or just really dumb, desperate and grasping for control; either way, the devil is in the details of the january 15, 2016 "study edition" of the watchtower tractazine.
so, we have two intertwined articles concerning "anointed" individuals within the sect of the wtbts inc. "the spirit bears witness with our spirit.
" and "we want to go with you people.

Data Dog: "5) Anyone invited can lose that invitation. Unless you lose your head, or blood, You lost your invitation : Rev 20: [only]" those killed by the axe, will rule with Christ for a thousand years"
Unless your fate is thus sealed, and die a sacrificial death (like Christ), dream on. provided there was a talking snake.

so i said: "condolences, well you are following a long tradition since the very first burial of abel--right?

Vidiot: "Trying to turn mythology into literal history ultimately makes for a lot of mental gymnastics. very true
--Gymnastics, that on day might allow an escape artist to do it, when the time is right. Gymnastics comes from the greek "naked", and the seed sown might show them the naked ttattruth.

Remember jesus turning over the table of the money changers?
by atomant inl can understand why he did it because the money changers were charging high rates to trade their money for acceptable temple money.what a fine example in self control that sets.with respect to the money issue sounds a bit like the gb and their money grab (even childrens pocket money).

If he spend time in Egypt with his cabinetmaker father, perhaps that explains the advanced woodworking skills of the Egyptians, they being perfectly taught, their ebony/ivory inlays, their dismantlable ships --. Wt speakers at one point praised the craft of carpentry as akin to engineering today, building machines, devices of all kinds, siege weapons even. -

Abel's religion would have been like the Memorial -- Cain's?
by prologos inso, the general jw population is forbidden to take the emblems at memorial time, the center ceremony of the wt religion.
by comparison, how would abel's start-up worked out?
well., the meat offered was forbidden to be eaten too.

smiddy: "--Killing one of Jehovah`s creations ? as an animal sacrifice ?--" I never thought the bible said that. Since humans could not eat the meat, innards, what would be the point of killing sheep (so the story goes) they probably were kept for the wool , and to harvest the parts for implements. (jaw bones as Samsonite clubs) I always pictured the sheep/ goats cows to be just carrion. my point was, there would have been no partakers in any ritual that had Abel's offering as an origin, -- before the flood. thank you!
