  UN & Recent Catholic development & The future of organized religion

  by 4thgen in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there were recent two posts that got me to thinking...the first was on the topic of if rank and file should be excused and the second was from a person whose mother who was in her 80s excited about the un and the catholic child abuse issue, believing the great tribulation was near.. as with the ways of the world, eventually the governments may get tired of all the abuses that are perpetrated by religions against their citizens; and action maybe be taken.

  it can quickly become a worldwide human rights issue, as not many citizens actually condone child abuse.. of course if organized religion is turned upside down, a great amount of wealth may return to the governments, which could begin to bring the world economy back into balance.. so, it appears at this point in time there is a possibility that the u.n. may turn on religion eventually.

  (like the jw speak?

  that lead me to wondering, what is the so-called etiquette for making friendships on the board?

  do you have to be invited to pm?

  like so many have said on this site, it is hard to begin again and make new friends.

  this has been a real challenge for me.

  i recently joined a local rotary club and have become acquainted with some very dedicated business people (some retired), wanting to be of service to others.

  2. bible

  have you gotten your invitation from the wt to their big 100 year blow-out to celebrate the reign of christ?

  it should be a very swank affair, especially with all the billions of dollars they have on hand.

  it should be a doozy!

  Discernment and the Bearing ‘Witness” in Abuse Cases

  by 4thgen in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in accepting the name of being one of jehovahs witnesses, they agree to witness or bear testimony to the existence of jehovah and the truthfulness of the bible.

  even though no one in this modern age has literally seen the act of creation or the god in the heavens, it is through the mental powers of discernment that faith is built.

  after the so-called 'evidence' is presented, it leads to a conviction of faith, which eventually turns into dedication and baptism.

  the two generations "new light" is crazy.

  but then again i look back at some of the things i believed and taught wonder 'what was i thinking'?
