  AM3: Scare your kids into the truth

  by neat blue dog in

  anthony morris iii on the 12/20 broadcast:.

  parents need to give their children a realistic idea of what we will face in the near future.. .

  .many parents choose to help their children appreciate the graphic visual imagery of a bible-based account while at the same time building trust in jehovah.

  looking for Jw infomation about the bible being changed etc?

  by Aposta-Fish in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in one of mike and kim's latest videos they claim that the borg wrote in the 1960's that the book of revelations wasn't even finished until a much later date.

  they have also stated that apostate christians changed the bible> i've also read years ago they trashed the bible or at least the king james years ago after another one of their fail predictions and right before they made their own bible> .

  i'm looking for these writings and any other that where the borg is criticizing the bible?.

  I'll give you a pass because it's actually nice to read a sentence that is longer than 3 words and doesn't end in an emoji.

  Did You Fully Buy the WT View of Romans 6:7 (Acquitted of Sin by Dying) ?

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. bible

  romans chapter 6 is about saying goodbye to the old personality, the old man in the king james version.

  the old personality must die, he cannot be fixed.

  the old personality is characterized by dominance of the flesh.

  "Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

  Is it possible for any Country to have “Reasonable” Gun Laws? What would they be?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so the new biden/harris gun policies are starting to appear.

  it’s not clear yet, what they will be.. some suggestions; confiscate all guns.------buyback programs in each state.. there is much talk on social media that if this happens, the pandemic, + all the riots, + all the damaged property, + all the annual murders in america, - put together-will be like a sunday afternoon picnic, compared to all the deaths and property damage that will result because of “civil uprising” by millions of 2nd amendments advocates and just plain gun lovers.

  americans love guns!.

  Thank you S. Molineaux for sharing your wisdom.

  I love the gratuitous capitalizing of the word government.

  Not necessary, but neither is capitalizing the word bible.

  English is so laissez-faire these days.

  interesting report in a oxford university blog - the world is becoming less religious, (hurray!!!).

  quote: "an analysis of religious trends from 1981 to 2007 in 49 countries containing 60% of the world’s population did not find a global resurgence of religion—most high-income countries were becoming less religious—however, it did show that in 33 of the 49 countries studied, people had become more religious (norris and inglehart, 2011).

  but since 2007, things have changed with surprising speed.

  I don't quite understand the current Christian obsession with abortion.

  The church was never concerned about it for hundreds of years.

  It's only been since about the 1980s that there has been any interest at all.

  We used to have a '71 Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback. Clementine orange.

  It needed work. It was getting toxic to drive. The seal for the engine compartment was rotting and since it was literally in the back of the station wagon in the cabin, we were driving with the windows open to avoid choking on CO2.

  We found a parts car on the other side of the city. Being young and stupid, we hooked up the parts car with a chain to the back of our decrepit Squareback and decided to tow it home through the city. I would be in the parts car steering and braking. My husband drove, and through hand signals out the window, he signaled to me in the parts car when to brake.

  Traffic began to get pretty bad, stop and go, then we saw traffic cops directing traffic and realized that there was a parade! In the early nineties without GPS, we had no idea of the extent of it.

  As we approached an intersection, a traffic cop signaled emphatically to stop. We saw the parade approaching and resigned ourselves to sitting there awhile. At least we would have a front row seat for the parade. And here it comes, the Popemobile with the pontiff waving to the masses of the faithful!

  We then noticed vendors, and my husband got out to buy souvenirs for his Catholic relatives and left me sitting in a dead car towed behind a car sitting there without a driver.

  The traffic cop wanted us to move, and now, and I shouted to my husband to get in the damn car. By the time he did, the cop was strenuously pointing in the direction he wanted us to go immediately. It happened to be directly behind the end of the parade. So, the faithful that were gathered in the streets pointed and laughed and we waved back while trying not to wreck and find a street that would get us home.

  Zero out of five stars. Would not recommend. We should have had it towed, but that would've probably been more than the value of the car!

  Covid19 vaccines

  the breaking news in canada today is the rollout of the pfizer/biontech vaccines.

  perhaps we can put this pandemic nightmare to bed soon.. i hate to rain on the parade, but we yet are not clear of any allergic reactions, side effects there might be as they roll out.

  but, just have to wait and see...to state the obvious.

  Thanks, bennyk. I translated the articles to English and heard the same thing on my local news.

  There were two anaphylactic reactions from the Pfizer vaccine in two nurses who took the first shot/jab in England.

  The nurses carried Epipens because of having reactions like this in the past.

  England is recommending people who have had these reactions before NOT take the vaccine.

  Pfizer is investigating possible causes of these reactions.

  Greedy drunkards? No, never fellowship with them.

  It's always better to hang out with the kind of drunkards that will buy the next round.

  I don't trust people who need religion in order to be good people.

  Is it really that hard?

  You really need the threat of hell or the promise of heaven?

  Why not just use your conscience?

  Surely you don't believe WTs guff about needing your conscience to be trained?
