Has China Already Become the Equal of the USA - superseding the Knorr/Franz March of World Powers?

i would personally say, this was going to happen, but not quite yet.

but then i noticed this recently published story in the south china morning post (a newspaper once owned by rupert murdoch, but now owned by jack ma, one of china's richest men).. quote:.

how china has become america’s equal, as showcased at a harvard forumauthor: robert delaneyon the campus of harvard business school this past weekend there was little doubt among corporate leaders and investors gathered for an annual conference that china had arrived as an equal to the united states.keynote speeches, panel discussions and a business pitch competition at the 20th annual harvard china forum convened under the theme “sharing the road ahead” in english.. and, i got to thinking about donald trump's reversal of all the things he said he was going to do to china in his campaign speeches, and the reality now that he acts as president of the usa.

I would have to say no. The USA still has the all mighty dollar, it's still the gold standard currency of the world. With that in place and the military which light years ahead of China there's not much hope for anyone to take the US place at the top.

In order for a new country to arise It would mean a country or set of countries would have to dislodge the US dollar from its perch and the currency used to buy oil and the whole banking industries use of the dollar including the World Bank and the IMF. These banks are the credit cards for most of the other countries in the world and thier slaves to them.

These countries would have to do all this with out the US having a clue and getting thier military involved. Sudam Hussein tried it but didn't realize what he was stepping into and we see what happened to him. Countries are eroding the US influence by making trade deals with one another and not including the US and its currency in the deal but it will take time. As these countries make these deals the US pushes back.

In the end it will be the US that will kill it self off much the way Rome did.

Could the WT teach, "kill gay people" and claim freedom of religion?

by Bad_Wolf in

could the wt publish articles about how gay people should be killed and if a friend or family member turns out to be gay, that they should kill them and if they don't they will die at armageddon, etc?

i always see the argument that wt can never be liable or lawsuit about shunning because, 'nobody is forced to shun'.

'shunning is a personal choice'.

Crazyguy

They probably could as long as know one actually went out and did it.

Circumcision....Perfect Adam....Uncircumcised....1st century Christians...circumcision ont required

by blondie in

i know this has been discussed many times, but i was watching a news story about female genital mutilation (not female circumcision) and segued mentally into why the hassle about male babies having to be circumcised, christians especially.

even the wts flipflops on this...... if adam, the first perfect man, not under the jewish law code, was given a foreskin by god as an aspect of his physical perfection, why then do so many "christian" people have their boy babies circumcised?.

if a health issue....why did god create the perfect man, adam, with a foreskin?.

Crazyguy

Before I was awake I didn't circumcise my boys because as true Christians were no longer under that law covenant. Now that I'm awake I found that before Abraham existed if he even did the Egyptians were already preforming this act of male circumcision as seen on the wall of one of thier temples.

So the Abrahamic covenant was nothing special and didnt make his offspring unique. What it maybe showing is infact the connection of Abrahams god with that of maybe an Egyptian god.

u can speak against Christ but not the GB

by Damascus in

so i am in trouble for questioning the whole rats nest of deceit and lies.

in matthew 12 jesus says: whoever speaks a word against the son of man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the holy spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

" the gb seems to replace 'holy spirit' with themselves.

Crazyguy

Someone here always used to say "lets review, it's a cult".

Last song at Regional Convention of 2016 was stolen from Audiomachine

by LevelThePlayingField in

as far as i know, i did a search, and you may not know this but, the last song play during a music video of the regional convention, was not of watchtower.

it's stolen from a group called audiomachine off their album epica.

the song is called eternal flame and it is exactly and i mean, note for note the same as the music video.

Crazyguy

That video just shows how most JWs are, bury their heads in to the sand and ignore the proof thier cult is just that. Now they'll say she's all messed up and left the truth because she let demons in to her house.

Yep and to think people think the WT actually paid the band a fee for using the song, not in your life.

Church Property Ownership

by Richard Oliver in

i have been reading a lot of cases that have to do with church property, especially when the church is affiliated with a larger national church.

it looks like the most common of these is episcopal churches.

a lot of episcopal churches wanted to disaffiliate with the national church when the national church ordained an openly gay bishop, the local churches wanted to join the anglican church of uganda.

Crazyguy

I think one has to look into the Kingdom Hall near San Francisco that was taken away from the local congregation , Menlo Park, and the elders DFD. I'm not sure of the details but that would be a good start on how the WT is handling property ownership.

Acts 17;24

by jehovahs is dead in

.

Crazyguy

There may not be any evidence of Horus being born on December 25 but there plenty of evidence that the Egyptians and others equated thier gods with planets and the sun. There is also plenty of evidence that Jesus was modeled after the God Serapis which was a hybrid god with the attributes of Osiris, dyonisus, Helios, Zues, and others. One can see all sorts of similarities between ancient Egyptian religion and Christianity.
