Moral High Ground

by Spoletta in

it seems that the other threads about trump's policies are veering off into endless ideological theories about how much better we are than islam.

does anyone think there is a chance that islam can be changed in the same manner that christianity has over the centuries?

with the inflow of ideas from western countries into the middle east, will people gradually want to move away from sharia law to something less patriarchal and cruel?

If yu think JW'S Are a cult or the Mormons or Scientiologists think again. Wahabi muslims and all their adherents are indoctrinated a hundred times more.

How successful is the movement in exposing these three cults. Realistically speaking? Now imagine the insurmountable task of getting billions of Muslims to get out of cult mode. Mohammed was the father of this cult. And he has rivited his teachings into the minds of his followers so deep that even a nuke won reach it to dislodge.

I would advocate reading the Quran to understand the extent of the madmans cultic teachings. English translations are available although they won't call it "translations" since their god wanted them to read his words only in arabic.

Every muslim believes that Islam will take over the world and their god Allah will subjugate the entire world into submission to islam. This is a deep rooted belief embraced by each and everyone of them. The majority remained silent while the Taliban and then the ISIS was running amuck. They wanted to believe that this was fulfillment of their scriptures. Make no mistake. These guys want the Sharia snice it is from their god allah to whom and whose will they must all submit. Why else would their women want the hijab in the US and the rest of the West when it is an imposition on their freedom? As for reform. Don't hold your breath. It isn't happening anytime soon. The only true reformer is the Aga Khan and his followers known as the Khojas. It is strange no one has asked his opinion on islam and what can be done to reform the Wahabi version.

Among masons when you become a member of a lodge yu ...not necessarily...but often become a member of a Chapter. It is at the Chapter meeting that yu are made aware of the name JEHOVAH. As God's holy name.

2017 Circuit Assembly: Lesbians at school demonstration

by darkspilver in

jw

steve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?

i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.

note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.

Why do you get upset about family shunning you?

by mr_doubtful in

i understand people love their family but i also don't understand why you end up caring in the end.

i'm ready to leave and i 100% don't expecting my family to have any contact with me nor do i want them to contact me.

if they are going to chose a man made religion over me, that's their choice and i will sleep easy at night.

Hairtrigger

It depends how close one is to their family members. This cult can turn family members against each other no matter how close. The shunned still has the love for his family that they shared earlier. The ones shunning have a cultic plate placed over their feelings . Selfish feelings really. That they will be saved while the shunned family member will be destroyed for leaving their Hobo god. Also the fear of being disfellowshipped if caught hob nobbling with a disfellowshipped family member.

The goal in all this 1918/1919 change?

by careful in

as some have recently posted here, there does seem to be a shift going on in their self-interpretation(s) of what happened in 1918 and 1919. if we can look past all the details that emphasize the poor thinking and poor wording (or contradictions/just plain craziness/insignificance) of their message, something bigger seems to be afoot.

they appear to be attempting to redefine the meanings for some "prophetic" scriptures in light of themselves.

1. they are trying to somehow fill the void they have themselves created from their rejecting freddie franz's (ff) type–anti-type postulations.

JW'S HAVE BEN TAUGHT TO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE THE CHOSEN ONES." "You cannot come to Hobo until he calls you. He chose fishermen who understood his son's teachings but the educated Jew's and Romans could not.

Things of God can only be understood with those whose hearts are open to THE TRUTH TRANSLATED =Hoboisms."

THIS IS THE SPIEL THAT MAKES JW'S FEEL THEY ARE UNIQUE AND ONLY THEY ARE PRIVILEGED TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS OF GOD . AND ONLY THEY ARE CHOSEN TO SEARCH AND CONJOIN OTHERS TI THEIR TRIBE _WHOSE HEARTS ARE PURE TO UNDERSTAND THE WORDS OF THEIR HOBO GOD.

EFFING NARCISSISTS AND SELF AGRANDIZING DOLTS.

Religion...is regarded by the rulers as useful

by flipper in

lucius annaeus seneca, roman statesman, 4bc - 65ad: "religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.".

this comes to mind as trump has been throwing the word "god" around.

there are a lot of outwardly religious people in this government.. benjamin franklin: "the way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason.".

Religion is the by product of FEAR.
