  Genesis 8:21 is not referring to the whole earth?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  genesis 8:21 .

  "this particular text was written in the wake of the assyrian invasion of judah and the siege of jerusalem by sennacherib in 703-701 bc (20 years after he had already wiped out israel).

  here the author resorts to hyperbole (exaggeration) in describing the utter destruction of the land of judah: that is, the destruction of judah is envisioned as the destruction of the whole earth.

  The case of Jamal Khashoggi

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. current

  just been catching up on the case of jamal khashoggi.. khashoggi was a saudi journalist who 'went missing' on 2 october after visiting the saudi consulate in istanbul.. he visited the consulate in order to get paperwork that confirmed he was divorced from his ex-wife and free to marry his turkish fiancée.. the details that are emerging are harrowing and show just how barbaric the saudi regime is.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6288131/jamal-khashoggis-apparent-murder-follows-disappearance-three-exiled-royal-princes.html.

  these assassins are the kinda people my government (uk) and other western governments are doing business with, propping up, and acting all smiley with in front of the cameras.. i suddenly feel the need to take a shower ....

  How Effective Are Anti-JW Internet Sites?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that once you get on the internet and you see evidence that shows jehovah’s witnesses do not have the real truth, it can jolt you.

  but i don’t think simply going on an internet site typically changes a person’s direction—even if the information is very damning toward the witnesses.

  i think it takes time to eventually get out.

  Is the average JW sycophantic?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  was just pondering the mindset of the average jw.. would it be appropriate to think that many are sycophants?.

  think of the way they act towards those they preach to.

  or the way they act towards one another in the congregation - especially towards those taking the lead (elders).

  Narrow mindedness annoying

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  none of the brothers and sisters in indonesia were hurt or lost in the recent disaster, according to one of the friends who added "we were all praying for them as soon as we heard it on the news, as you do.

  and what about the rest of the population?

  i know its nothing new in their attitude to the world outside in general, but it makes me so angry!
