It is the same as it has been since the 1950s. Nothing has changed. Russia and USA.

The King of the North and the South, who are they now?
by Anony Mous ini know several wit-lesses that to date are researching these topics.. however i haven't heard much from any publications recently about it, i think the latest refresh was ~10 years ago.
since then the power of the us has severely diminished (or at least the rhetorics about it has), russia is a small potato in modern era, the eu is a cowardly dog in the eyes of everyone and we have the rise of china which is as far as military might is concerned, a paper tiger.. we also have the rise of islam, especially since the end of the nato nation-building effort in afghanistan which is now in power in most of the middle east and africa, as well as regions of asia and growing strong in europe.. does anyone have noooo light about these developments.
is islam the king of the south?

Being anointed by God is not related to partaking of the memorial. Being anointed means one is anointed by the holy spirit. As the the OP, he is not anointed.

Don’t Trust the Courts! Splane’s Latest Anti-Apostate Talk
by StephaneLaliberte indavid splane’s talk “put up a hard fight for the faith” was that last talk presented on the saturday of the annual convention.
this talk was to largely address apostates and restated ideas and arguments often presented before.
however, this year, watchtower is spending more time in disqualifying negative findings originating from secular courts and here is the segment of interest here: .

"Court cases are often handled by a jury. Now who are on the jury? Ordinary citizens with no legal training."
I will add to that, people that believe in Santa Claus and celebrate holidays because it is the thing to do. People that are... gasp... Democrats.
So Splane is right. We can't trust juries.

The Watchtower is NOT a false prophet
by The Quiet One inregarding what some have said here about the wt being a false prophet.. i would like to make my point regarding the wt not being a false prophet... so please, if you can be patient enough to read this, at least try to understand what i am getting at.. a false prophet is one who, according to deuteronomy, makes a false prediction of the future and claims that the prediction came from god, or in other words claiming that 'god has said he will do a certain thing at a certain time' etc.. for example, hypothetically speaking, if someone had claimed: "god will bring about the end of the world in 2010", they would have been proven to be a false prophet, obviously.
but, as an example, imagine a man who claimed the position of a prophet of god, (as moses did, because although he was not the type of prophet that predicted the future.. he was still a prophet or spokesman for god) and that he had publicised worldwide, according to his interpretation of a (for example) prophecy found in the book of isaiah, that the world would end in 2010.. and he had also stated that he was not saying that god will end the world in that year.. but only that there was biblical evidence that god might do so.
that would clearly have been a mistake.

A prophet means someone who speaks for God. Many mistake that for foretelling the future. But their speaking for God was by means of using the Bible. The apostle Paul was not one who foretold the future, he used the past and that was his means of speaking for God.

The 15 minute thing with approval was so stupid. What is to stop anyone from counting 15 as an hour? We all would round up anyway. And this You need permission to Aux pioneer, is stupid. Why? We stopped getting free magazines in 1989 so what benefits are there from Aux pioneering?

Love the don't use a gun for self defence by Gary Bro
by mickbobcat ini just watched that stupid talk by gary while e bro on not using a gun for self defense but it went deeper.
i was that you don't defend yourself against violence.
well ain't that great from an asshat living in a gated and guarded compound.

While Brother Breaux was going to an extreme with his view, he was correct in not relying on guns for protection. The Brother in the video was just waving a gun. He didn't have the conviction to use it. That would be the most dangerous to himself or his family. When a person has a gun, s/he has to be prepared to use it without hesitation. No JW would would have such preparation. They would hurt themselves or others or have it stolen or taken away.
Using a gun for self defense and then killing someone is not blood guilty, there is an affirmative defense for that.
Wisdom can find ways to protection without a gun. Macgyver didn't use guns, because brains are better.

In the talk he said to rely on wisdom and not weapons. But it is wisdom to rely on weapons. A weapon is a tool and you need the best tools to do the job when not having tools won't do it.

Leaked David Spane Apostate Rant? (Upcoming Lloyd Evans Video)
by Jofi_Wofo inlloyd has a reminder set for a "leaked" video that he will be reviewing tomorrow, but it lacks details in the description.
does anyone know what video he is referring to, or is this an upcoming loyd evans exclusive?.
i find leaks exciting, especially if it's something that was never meant to be public and puts some serious egg on the faces of the blundering body..

I say that Lloyd Evans is the one with the rant. It is a 2 hour and 44 minute video in response to next week's convention talk. Evans just wants to hear himself.
