Brother placed 'Teach" Book to President Obama? WTF?

by Smoky in

i just read a post on monday aprox 9pm on the "escuela del ministerio teocratico/theocratic ministry school" on facebook (posted in spanish).. it is talking about an experience given in a ohio, circuit assembly.. it reads that a brother that was a worker at the factory obama was visiting, was able to preach briefly to president obama and place the book 'what does the bible teach' during a quick meet and greet.. i think its bullshit.. anyone ever heard of this experience at a assembly?.

i dont have a cpu, and my phone is not working, for me to copy, translate and post on here for you all to see.

maybe one of you can?.

UN Says Turkey Must Respect Conscience of Its Citizens

PLAY

Millions of Christians conscientiously refuse to bear arms—?and many nations honor that decision. The UN Human Rights Committee has ruled that Turkish citizens deserve the same freedom.

In its decision adopted on March 29, 2012, the Committee ruled in favor of two Turkish citizens, Cenk Atasoy and Arda Sarkut. Both men are Jehovah’s Witnesses who refused to perform military service because of their religious beliefs.

Mr. Atasoy and Mr. Sarkut had repeatedly submitted petitions to government offices to explain their conscientious decision, and they offered to perform nonmilitary civil service. Nevertheless, the men were relentlessly pressured to join the military. After the military threatened to file criminal charges against the university that employed Mr. Sarkut as an assistant lecturer, he lost his job.

In its ruling, the Committee stated that the right to object to military service on grounds of conscience “ is inherent to the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, ” which is implied by Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Furthermore, the Committee ruled that this right “ entitles any individual to an exemption from compulsory military service if the latter cannot be reconciled with that individual’s religion or beliefs. ”

This ruling comes on the heels of two related decisions by the European Court of Human Rights. In one of those decisions, the Court ruled that “the absence of an alternative to military service in Turkey is in breach of the right to conscientious objection” guaranteed in the European Convention on Human Rights.

Conscientious objection to military service is as old as Christianity itself. E. W. Barnes, in his book The Rise of Christianity, wrote: “ A careful review of all the information available [shows] that, until the time of Marcus Aurelius [Roman emperor from 161 to 180 C.E.], no Christian became a soldier; and no soldier, after becoming a Christian, remained in military service. ”

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 03-10-2013 WT Study (DISTANCE)

distance from jehovah (not jesus).

comments.

Par 5 I remember asking my dad about these faithful men working for the government. What did he reply? They were appointed by Jehovah to fulfill his will. 11,12 Just one question. How come my current DO was cheering his favorite team during this years superbowl? Why was he sad, including ex-bethelites present when their team lost? How can that not be considered a stumbling block for others? YOU KNOW THE ANSWER. (Their status within the WTS) Closing paragraphs. The GB is having a hard time breaking family and making parents hate their children. At the end love never fails... Thanks Blondie

Don't e-mail DF'd family members - Congregation Reaction (WT 1/15/2013)

by 00DAD in

do not look for excuses to associate with a disfellowshipped family member, for example, through e-mail.

- w2013 1/15, p. 16, para.

in the congregation i attend, no one--and i mean no one--commented on the directive to not communicate with df'd family members by email.

suavojr

Hey JWfacts! We spanish brothers always find ways to work around the rules...lol

They did not say 'no electronic form of communication' therefore I can still use whatsapp, facetime, and maybe I can go old fashion and send some post cards. But this was the hardest WT study for me to sit through after waking up!

LostGeneration said:"Bible prophecy is sometimes only clear after it has been fulfilled"

Yep! That is what they said in the 2010 DVD release and in a recent study. When I heard this all I could say was, how can that help me after the fact? But the WT is simply full of hot air and nothing else.
