  Zambia - President Wants to Ban JWs

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  zambia has one of the highest concentrations of jws in the world.

  their influence has impacted the political climate in that country to such an extent that the president attributes low voter turnout to the jws.. http://www.lusakatimes.com/2015/06/04/deregister-jehovah-witnesses-for-promoting-voter-apathy-cosmo-mumba/.

  "national revolution party leader cosmo mumba has appealed to the register of societies to force jehovah witnesses to start singing the national anthem and participate in national elections or be banned.dr mumba told prime tv in lusaka that jehovah witnesses are the ones responsible for the prevailing low voter turnout in recent elections.he said theregistrar of societies should immediately force jehovah witnesses to start voting or ban them from practising in zambia.dr mumba said singing of the national anthem is a sign of patriotism and wondered why jehovah witnesses have been allowed to disregard symbols of national pride and patriotism like the singing of the national anthem.he claimed that zambias democracy may not grow if institutions such as the jehovah witnesses are allowed to continue operating in zambia.

  Disfellowshipping Image

  this photo can be found in the april 15 , study edition article titled:.

  why disfellowshipping is a loving provision.

  just by looking at this image we can see how quickly the barrier between the congregation and former member is put up, after the announcement that this sister is no longer one of jehovah's witneses.

  Invariably there will be those who have been reinstated who will chime in with some positive support of this picture, telling the congregation how this LOVING ARRANGEMENT helped them return to Jehovah.

  The Man with the Golden Arm

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  2. friends

  james harrison is australian and is known as the man with the golden arm.

  i've neither researched nor inquired of his religious disposition, but i feel safe assuming he's not now and never has been associated formally with the watchtower organization.

  this man is a national treasure and hero of the first order.

  Even though the vaccine is made from one of the fractions now deemed acceptable, James Harrison would still be disfellowshipped for donating his blood.

  Well OF COURSE that makes sense.

  thanks to bu2b and splash who mentioned this quote in another thread!.

  but i thought it deserved a thread all of its own, such is the impact of this:.

  the very best example of going beyond the things written comes from a 2008 watchtower.

  There was a video posted here a few years back where a reporter jumped into one of the GB's face while he was exiting a convention stage and asked a couple of questions.

  I'm fuzzy on the details.

  The GB member, referring to something that had been written in society's literature said, "We're not to go beyond the things written."

  If someone remembers this video can you please post it? It would fit perfectly in this thread.

  June JW Broadcast - Jehovah's & Jesus' names Are Interchangeable!

  by The Searcher in

  mr. geoffrey jackson hosts this month's propaganda-fest, and uses a favourite catchphrase of the org - "by extension" - to get out of the dead-end which the scriptwriters had put him in.

  he quotes matthew 10:22 - "and you will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my [jesus'] name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.".

  mr. jackson knows only too well that probably no j.w.
