In the Jewish religious beliefs, Satan is a good guy. It is not antagonist between G-d and himself, nor it is a symbol of evil, or punisher of sinners in hellish eternity. Jews do not believe in devil, this is Christian invention. Jews consider Satan as someone who is employed by G-d and used to do work on His behalf like collecting evidence on someone misdeed. As heavenly being, he can't be evil while be at the presence of the creator at the same time.

23Obey the Superior Authorities God says / God says Satan is controlling the Superior Authorities.?
by smiddy inromans 13 : 1-4 clearly states that the superior authorities are an arrangement from god , defy them and you are working against the arrangement of god at your own peril.. christians are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,"for their is no authority except by god , the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by god .therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ".
matt.
4 :8-10 shows that all the kingdoms and governments are under satan`s control , jesus never disputed that claim .

I had once issue with a cat licking a paint on the wall. We painted on room, and my cat started licking the wall and threw up. We had to repaint the wall and she stopped doing it. However, cats are also picky either, but they have their weird tastes. The cat I had for 18 years loved donuts, and other liked fries and mayo. My leopard is more stuck on his cat food and does not care much about human food nor does he begs for it. But he is messy either and he likes to plays with his food. I have to stand by him when I feed him and telling him that he is a good boy and he eat his bowl. Otherwise he will smear it all over the floor. -

Sorry to hear about lose of your kitty. I am a cat person and grew up with them. I have one Asian leopard hybrid and he is the most affectionate cat I so far had. I had cat for 18 years and died due old age, and I was very sad. I consider my cat to be a part of the family. They have own personality, and show their love. My cat walks me to the door when I go to work, and greets me at the window when I am back. Sudden cat death is actually common. Cats are picky eater, so I do not think it was poison, but cat suffer with kidney failure and respiratory disease. One of my cat died from cancer. He had a tumor in his belly and died several weeks later. Cherish memory of your kitty. I miss my cat of 18 years and I still wish I have him around. -

1974 Special Meetings
by NeonMadman inas we all know, armageddon was just around the corner in 1974. at the district conventions that year, it was announced that there would be two special meetings during the month of september; one would be for interested people (e.g., bible studies, family members, inactive, etc.
), and the other would be for baptized publishers.
these were to be held in place of the service meetings for the two weeks, iirc.

I was a kid in the 1970's, but I remember how my JW aunt told me not worry about going to school, because Jesus will be arriving shortly and we will only need to study a love and unlimited wisdom in a new system. 40 years later, I am thinking how many years I have to work to retire. My aunt is long gone, and a new system nowhere on sight. -

Gay Jihadis?!
by LoveUniHateExams inapparently, aseel muthana, a yemeni-british man from cardiff, was radicalized to follow his elder brother to travel to da'ish.. he was encouraged by forhad rahman and two other extremists.
according to the gay times, muthana and rahman exchanged flirty texts, with rahman alledgedly calling muthana a welsh cutie.. when police arrested the three extremists for supporting terrorism, they tried to stop the text exchanges from being made public, out of concern for aseel muthana's safety - what with him travelling to da'ish, the possible gay nature of the texts, and da'ish's hatred for gay people.. i don't know if this is true, but it seems as if it is.
where to start?.

Many gay men went to Nazi party, served in SS, and were supporters of A.H. while their lovers were sent into the camps. Two weeks ago, I watched a documentary on Lida Baarova, who was a mistress of Joseph Goebbels. Eye witnesses from the WWII mentioned that Lida had on numerous occasion tried to seduce one of the highest SS commander and perpetrator of Holocaust, Horst Böhme, who was gay and she never got "lucky" with him. Yezov, one of the mastermind of Stalin purges and mass murderer during Moscow Purges was openly gay, which eventually led to his fall. -

Yes, for any music. For modern music, for techno, for folk music that my dad loved, for classical music, because it was used in church. -

Word is adjusting to the effect of economic recession that started in 2008. It affected finances, job market, housing, retirements and geopolitics. The world as result became unstable. I noticed that past several years, job market became again tighter. I have very specialized education and skills, have advanced degrees and certifications. Yet, the job market got tougher due bust in oil and gas exploration, which floods jobseekers in my field. Economic problems affected personal relationships and trust between government and population. I am personally very pessimistic on the economy and the politics as we deal with global structural crisis and global imbalances between various countries and segments of the population.
I do not think this has to do with JW upbringing. There are periods when mood is good, economy is prosperous, and leadership resonate with masses. This was already debated in the OT, but Greek, Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance era were full of years where good time were replaced with bad years. For example, my mom thinks she lives in best years, she was born during the Great Depression, lived through WWII and communism and she said except her health, she cannot complain. She was never more free, nor had as good living standard as she had past 15 years since she retired. My sibling is exactly opposite as she face uncertain job market, and skyrocketing child care costs.

Surge in Mormon Suicides
by cofty inlast november the mormon cult has issued new rules about homosexuality labelling those in same-sex relationships as apostates who can be excommunicated.
children of gay couples are now required to leave home and repudiate their parent's relationship before they can be part of the church.. at least 32 gay mormon youths have killed themselves since the announcement of the new policy, and there’s been an alarming increase of suicidal teens and twenty-somethings in the church.....

Children of gay couples
Yes, many gay and lesbian people have kids. I know several of them. To be gay or lesbian does not make a person sexually impotent. Some gay couple adopt, have surrogate parent, went through artificial insemination, or taking care of children from their extensive family.

Leaked Elder's Video: How to deal with a suicidal sister
by cappytan inthis video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.
however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.
feel free to claim credit here.

Drama here, drama there, drama everywhere. Were all works in progress are we not?
This is one the most sociopathic remark on this discussion. Here are people debating such grave issue, such as suicide, which touched many people personally. In my time in KH, I knew wonderful, loving sister, who was also close family friend for decades, who committed suicide. This is a drama and tragedy. Considering that this nice lady had one unsuccessful suicide attempt, elders in the KH should at least have a courtesy and provide true missionary work and channel her through mental facility. After her attempt, she was wheelchair bound and except me and my mom, nobody from my KH even bothered to visit her. So, any progress you should be concerned, is only yours, because there is a lot of things that needs be done.

Why was it so hard for Jesus to convince the Jews that he was the Messiah???
by James Mixon in??????
?

Real, practicing Jew will not accept Jesus as a Messiah. It is not possible to reconcile both religions due different theology. Jews do not believe in Jesus sacrifice for paying out for sins of the humanity. However, Jews recognize that one point in time there was a guy name Jesus, who was a Jew, and had done great deeds. But he did not fulfill expectation to be a Messiah. Messiah would usher a new period of peace for humanity, which did not happen 2000 years ago.
