Question: When did Jesus die? On the Sabbath or the day before?

Answer: Yes?

Is that Objective truth in action?

ELDER LIES AND GET'S PRAISED FOR IT! FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST ME!

by BucketShopBill in

want to know how a lie can turn into a compliment?

only in the jw mindset!!!.

we got called into the dreaded back room after meeting to find two elders wanting to discuss a 'serious' matter with us.

Why the indignation? You act as though you'd be ashamed to have ever done such a thing. I thought it was something serious for a second. Unless you too of course view disfellowshipped people as lepers.

In a sense they are right because your associating with a whole bunch right now by being in this forum. The conscience works in mysterious ways..

Apps do have to go through an approval process to be on the Android Store (Google Play) or the Apple Store/iTunes. If anyone is an app developer, you will know that even the simplest apps go through this process and are tested just as thoroughly by Google and Apple.

If there was anything dodgy going on that wasn't part of the app specifications then it would be shown up in that process.

You think so? How did the game app Angry Birds slip the Google and Apple approval process then for years?

This is no way to win friends and influence people. In my entire life, I never encountered such rude atheists.

I don't think they are looking for friends. They are just adamant about smashing to pieces and tearing down what they think is a colossal lie. I'm not sure there is any real way to do that gently and not hurt fragile egos. There may also be a lifetime of residual anger towards the people that told them this lie. ie: witnesses and even ex-witnesses, bible folk.. etc.

In the world of evolution there is no scientific reason for manners or tenderness.

Why is it that as Witnesses we are instructed not to use the Internet, or email?

Because there will exist a hard copy that can come back to bite them. They avoid like the plague putting anything in writing as it removes all deniability

I must say that racism is NOT something I've ever come across here among the J dubs

I have seen and experienced they very opposite in the UK.

Satan invisible? In the 'What Does the Bible Really Teach?' book in chapter 3 Satan has the very visible hand of a white male.

James Foley

As I suspected..

--------------------

British forensic experts have concluded that the ISIS beheading video involving James Foley was in all likelihood staged using “camera trickery and slick post-production techniques.”

An international forensic science company which does work for police forces across Britain found that, “James Foley’s execution may have been staged, with the actual murder taking place off-camera,” reports the Telegraph.

The experts noted that despite Foley’s executioner appearing to draw a knife across the neck area at least six times, no blood is seen. The video itself does not show the actual beheading, merely a still image which purports to show Foley’s decapitated head resting on his body.

“Aymenn al-Tamimi, a fellow at the Middle East Forum think-tank, remarked that ISIS has greatly improved their video production over the last few years,” reports the Inquisitr. “Techniques to fake a beheading would not be difficult for them to manage, and the video doesn’t exactly leave their failures on the hidden: Despite six slashing motion to James’ neck, no blood can be seen in the video; Foley’s reaction seems to be very disconnected with what is actually occurring, the analysts said.”

This point was also covered in our analysis which emphasized how calm and collected Foley appeared to be as he read out his statement, a demeanor completely contradictory to the notion that he was about to be brutally executed.

The experts also concluded that a blip in the footage suggests Foley misread one of his lines from the script and had to re-film the sequence.

The obvious question that arises out of this is why ISIS militants, who have quickly developed a global reputation for their barbarity and carelessness for human life, would not simply have beheaded Foley on camera without the need to stage the event.

The only logical conclusion, whether Foley was later killed or not, is that the video was not produced or released by actual ISIS militants but by western intelligence agencies to be used as a casus belli to expand military expansion in the middle east.

For years we have exhaustively documented how so-called Al-Qaeda, Bin Laden and other terrorist propaganda videos were in fact produced by companies working on behalf of the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency.

It has also emerged that the identity of the individual seen staging the murder, one Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, is a former rapper from a wealthy family who left London to fight in Syria. Bary fits the profile of an informant for British security services.

The beheading video has been used as a poster child to push for a renewed U.S. military strike on Syria, a prospect that was derailed last year after it emerged that a supposed chemical weapons attack which was blamed on the Assad government had in all likelihood been carried out by western-backed rebels.

U.S. officials have cited the “new context” for confronting ISIS that was spurred by the release of the Foley beheading video, with Washington signaling its intention on Saturday to prepare a new military assault on Syria.

In our analysis, we pointed out several other factors that clearly suggested the James Foley video was not what it purported to be, including the absence of other militants who normally appear in beheading videos, the lack of references to the Koran and no chants of “Allahu Akbar” as the execution is taking place.

All the Christians I know would never use such speech against non-believers, its not in our persona.

But that's just it they do.. look at all the threads of the 'saved' in here.. they start by declaring they are chosen and special and that you can be too, then as they get questioned they simply write off your entire life and label the questioners with a psudo-polite dismissive 'not spiritual enough' or that you have 'not prayed enough' or not been 'sincere enough' or that you have not 'opened their hearts enough' followed by a weak and often insulting retreat.

I call that completely powerless, cowardly and insincere. Not what I would expect of someone who has truly found God and has a relationship with him. They are here to simply flaunt what they do not really have.
