Satan & Disasters

by Hadriel in

was told by someone that a receipt article eluded to the fact that satan can cause natural disasters.

i don't see how i could have missed this.

doesn't anyone remember this?

I found one that sounds familiar: "Q&A: Ask a Bible Teacher"

https://gracethrufaith.com/ask-a-bible-teacher/does-satan-create-natural-disasters/

[bold mine]

All this can be laid at Satan’s feet. I don’t think that means Satan specifically conjures up every disaster, but I do believe they’re the consequence of his destructive work. The fact is the creation is no longer perfect, and the flaws that have been introduced as a result of sin cause storms, earthquakes, floods, droughts and other so-called natural disasters to happen periodically.
If left alone, these flaws would eventually tear the world apart, but before that can happen, God will intervene and restore the creation to its pre-flood condition (Acts 3:21). The indication that this time of restoration is near is that the disasters we’re experiencing are becoming more frequent and are causing more devastation than they have in the past.

Canada Branch Finances - 2015

by berrygerry in

so, cra has fixed the glitch whereby they had probably posted the annual return of a small congo.. at first glance, there was disappointment that the gb's begging has been paying off.

so, donations are at an all-time high, up by 10% (line 4500).. more staggering, gifts from other charities exploded to $33.5 million (line 4510).. as a result, total revenue is at a staggering $83.3 million (line 4650).. however, expenses are still high, with supplies increasing by $5 million (line 4891).

(really explains the push to digital, and discontinued publications.).

Is this a FS, in particular, a Balance Sheet? Because it doesn't balance. Hmmm

It's kind of interesting that in the last 6 years, their long-term investments have gone from $67,000,000+ to zero.

Why all the hate...

by Dystopia in

...toward jehovah's witnesses?

Pete, like Simon said, carry on, it's a good question. Forget the troll. So what? Who cares? Let the lurkers learn why we hate the WTBTS. Some of us hate the abusive individuals. I forgive not, those who sanction child molesters, and those who abuse their own children. Period. xx

This meme I copied from another thread sums it up quite nicely for me ... only make the person young, sick, and did nothing wrong except refuse to attend the Kingdom Hall with the drunks and fornicators (saw with my own eyes) who dare to judge others. Those who drove my 17YO friend to hang himself. Those who knowingly deny their own child is being raped, and treat their child's rapist like a family member. Yes, I hate *some* of Jehovah's Witnesses.

JW Vs. Mormon program

by pixel in

i will like people on this forum and lurkers to see the big different between jws and other religion.

following you will see the program from the upcoming distric/regional 2016 convention.

look at the topics that are going to be discussed.

talesin

The Mormons have a great PR machine. Women? Really? That has to be a ploy to look more 'normal' because of the Warren Jeff's scandal. "Oh, we are not like those CRAZY fringe Mormons. We treats our wimmins good!"

Blech.

For your information, I happen to specialize in information technology in the real world. You tracking me down is as laughable as it is likable. God damn, this website and its legalities are made of sticks and stones although I've yet to transgress any legal statute. I can easily antagonize your existence on this idiot convention of a discussion board without any malicious intent from a legal standpoint.

Well, so is the owner of this board, so good luck with that! **flagged**
