  I find it worrying that for weeks now Biden etc keep telling us that Russia is going to invade Ukraine imminently.... Russia has always had a large number of troops on it's border with the Ukraine, and in recent months has bolstered that number.

  But, the media likes to state that those 100,000 plus troops have only recently been installed ready to invade Ukraine. Now the West has decided to post extra troops there to bolster Ukraine etc.

  Seems to me that the West/Biden is engaged in a poking of the Russian bear almost to provoke a reaction. Let's not forget that some years ago the West invaded Iraq on the basis of intelligence reports of Weapons of Mass Destruction, when later it was found that none existed.....

  We've been here before, let's not stoke the fire.

  Twaddle...mind you, perhaps not too long before they're DF for possessing non JW Bibles...!.. Personally I have most of older publications...and some make more sense than more recent ones. They often explain with reason, seeking to gain, rather than lecture with threats, seeking to expel.

  I have read and re read acts chap.15 and for the life of me I can't find the part about the 1st century governing body!

  i cannot find the verse where it talks about several self appointed men that went behind closed doors to render their decision regarding circumcision.

  all i see is that it was the apostles, older men and the congregation that came to a decision.

  perfect example of why we need the governing body today.

  How sad that those who claim to seek sanctuary from violence perpetrate such violence themselves.. Ideology cannot be outlawed.....it is almost genetic.

  cities across america have been pillaged and destroyed these last few days.

  a white policeman has been charged with murder of a black man.

  protests have been organized across major us cities and horrible riots have occurred.

  The whole episode concerns me. Re the policeman/men who killed the man. I wonder whether the policeman/men has mental issues, past trauma involving a black man, whether he or family member has ever been attacked etc by a black man. PTSD etc etc. If so, then might such events have been a trigger?.. Would there have been an equally violent outrage if it had been a black cop who killed George? So many questions etc which need to be answered.. I also fail to understand how violence/ looting etc helps matters. Seems much of it has been done involving rent a mobs. I hope things get resolved for everyone's sake. One other point, wonder what children are thinking witnessing all the violence/looting etc? ...

  of all the things people decided they needed to stockpile for a potential quarantine.

  all of the stores around my area ran completely out of toilet paper this last weekend.

  people were piling it into their carts and vehicles as if they were going to be holed up for a year.

  Other hazardous surfaces include cash machines, road pedestrian crossings, car park machines etc etc. the list is almost endless. Best course of action is to wash hands often. We've been told face masks are not very effective. Personally, we're avoiding going out to public places such as restaurants etc. I wonder if the org will abandon meetings and field service etc for the foreseeable (!) future....many of the cong elderly members are at risk. As for hand gels etc, prices have reached silly levels on ebay etc. Perhaps time for govt to issue free gels etc,

  May 2020 Watchtower They Admit, they don't know

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they'll write pages and pages of stuff and yet they don't have any idea.. here's a paragraph from their latest speculations on future events, bolding is mine.. a prophecy recorded by ezekiel gives some insight into what may happen during the last days of the king of the north and the king of the south.

  if we view the prophecies of ezekiel 38:10-23; daniel 2:43-45; 11:44–12:1; and revelation 16:13-16, 21 as speaking about the same time period and events, it appears that we can expect the following developments.. that's an awful lot of assumptions to make.

  what they've done is picked out various scriptures from different parts of the bible and now state that they may or may not be talking about the same events.

  So different from years ago, when we studied types and antitypes, foreshadows, etc.....and were led to believe that such material was assured and definite. Now it seems to be driftng into realms of speculation and hedging bets. Perhaps the passing of time has defeated them....
