  while reading the "pyramids vs. floods" thread, one poster slipped in a reference to this website: www.bibledecoded.com .

  umm... after reading this for a few minutes (esp.

  the history and purported interaction with the governing body) i couldn't get over just how out there the site was.

  Why is it called a public meeting anyway. What's so public about it. no one knows about the talks, no one cares, they're never advertised.

  Research on social exclusion ( shunning )

  by A Paduan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "ostracism, rejection, social exclusion, bullying, the silent treatment - their power to undermine our confidence and wellbeing is enormous, but rarely discussed openly.

  over two weeks, natasha mitchell speaks to the leading international researchers spearheading research into the psychology of this nasty phenomena.

  surprising insights into aggression, the vicious cycle of loneliness, the impact on cognition, health and much more.

  Strange picture in this week's Watchtower on porneia?

  by eyeslice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  link to picture: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/file/7d83e711-da29-44aa-bde7-f74f9a3d79bd.ashx.

  the following caption appeared opposite the paragraph porneia (quote: "porneia includes such acts as oral sex, anal sex, and masterbating another person") what can happen if we ignore warnings?.

  now is it just me, but isn't the picture of the little boy trying to rescue his ball from out of a pond just a little weird?

  Churchill's Comment about World State 2 years before WW1

  by Thirdson in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i found this quote interesting considering how much the watchtower has claimed that the events of 1914 were so unexpected.

  winston churchill said this in a recently discovered letter written two years before the conflict of world war 1 began but predicting a war: .

  "the european situation is far from safe and anything might happen.

  I don't recall ever reading that the bible students or JW's ever said that the war in 1914 was 'so unexpected'. It is the significance of WW1 not any 'unexpectedness' that they emphasis.

  There are also numerous quotes testifying that Europe was more less very peaceful and prosperous for the decades leading up to 1914.

  The Mystery Person of Luke 9:49, WTBTS Friend of Foe?

  by Valis in

  2. bible

  "and john answered and said, 'master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.

  ' and jesus said to him, 'do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us'.

  " (luke 9:49,50, nkj).

  Forgive me for defending the bible (oooohhhh), but I don't see that Jesus is contradicting himself. In His words "for he that is not against us is for us" is spoken of in the context of those who are showing at least some faith in him. His later words "He that is not on my side is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters" is spoken in the context of disproving his accusers false claim that he was only able to expel the demons by means of Satan. They are two entirely different situations.

  Now why would Brooklyn criticise the UN when the Awake and Watchtower are being used by UN agents at the Watchtower to disseminate UN globalistic 'new world order' propaganda....
