the watchtower has pronounced the un as being the disgusting thing because it is trying to bring about world peace instead of putting its faith in jehovah to do that.. the watchtower claims to be jehovah's tool and itself attempts to unite the peoples of the world into a united organization going so far as to monitor and punish the behavior of individuals around the world.. how are the watchtower's actions different from the united nations actions?.

point 1: i just attended a seminar by michael josephson, who runs the josephson institute of ethics.
you might know of him from his "character counts" spots on the radio.. anyway, one phrase he repeated was "if you allow it, you encourage it.
" i immediately thought of the jw policy of "2 witnesses" before something is a crime and how that doesn't apply usually in child abuse cases.
In the JW theology, 99.9% approximately of humans are wicked and this is the way it's always been.
Hey, how dare you, that's not true, the truth is that 99.8% of humans are wicked!
it does no good to argue about words.
however, the fact that, as i pointed out, paul appealed to ceasar, proves that christians are entitled to get a fair hearing according to the laws of the state system they are living under.
as a matter of fact, when paul wrote to the phillipians he was under arrest in rome.
Dude, reread your Bible, you've got it all screwed up.
hello to everyone today.
some of you asked why in the world we go to the kingdom hall to partake of the emblems at memorial when we don't believe in them anymore?
was it just to cause an irritation?
Love?
It is not loving to disrupt a ceremony that is so important to them.
All you are doing is contributing to the fact that they think you're nuts.

lol...As apostates keep fighting against themselves, the JWs keep preaching the Good News! Who's following Christ?
ironically, we were discussing the watchman who stays awake night and day.. anyway, something was said that made me awaken and pay careful attention.
please, if anyone else who got this same information at their book study, please share it.. here goes:.
there was a picture of a man standing on the watchtower keeping on the look out.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't want 80 and 90 year old men being my watchman!
That's the point, you want to have the right to choose. But in this case Jehovah chooses, not humans. He uses who HE wants.

When the UN turns on all religions, we will see who is tolerant.
One has the backing of Jehovah, the other doesn't.
hello to everyone this memorial season...... yes another memorial season is upon us and a lot of talk and questions as to: how many will eat and drink?
what will be the number?
or is it finally going down?.
This story does sound odd. I have never heard anyone turned away.
But I was wondering why would you want to go the memorial in the first place if you don't believe in the JWs anymore. Are you trying to prove a point? Or do you get off ridiculing something that the JWs take seriously?
what will you do when harmageddon is here?
will you ask jehovah for a second chance?.
will you seek to protect your young children?.
Numbers 25:6-8
6Just then one of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman into the camp, right before the eyes of Moses and all the people, as they were weeping at the entrance of the Tabernacle.[1] 7When Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest saw this, he jumped up and left the assembly. Then he took a spear 8and rushed after the man into his tent. Phinehas thrust the spear all the way through the man's body and into the woman's stomach. So the plague against the Israelites was stopped,
I'm sure the Israelite man had a good time as the spear passed through him. Laugh now foolish man!
Yeah right, dream on!
