Pope's Powerful Christmas Message

by skeeter1 in

pope francis has denounced the "brutal persecution" of religious and ethnic minorities, in his traditional christmas day address.. in his second "urbi et orbi" - to the city and the world - christmas message, the pontiff highlighted the plight of victims of conflict in syria and iraq.. "too many people are being held hostage or massacred" in nigeria, he added.

pope francis also urged dialogue between israelis and palestinians and condemned taliban attacks in pakistan.. tens of thousands of people turned out on st peter's square to hear the argentine pope deliver his annual message.. he said christians in iraq and syria had endured conflict for too long, and "together with those belonging to other ethnic and religious groups, are suffering a brutal persecution".. "may christmas bring them hope, as indeed also to the many displaced persons, exiles and refugees, children, adults and elderly, from this region and from the whole world," the pope said.. .

******and, what did the governing body talk about when they addressed the world of jehovah's witnesses earlier this month?

insidetheKH

when popes speak.... the world may listen.. but catholic believers don't. That is a fact

popes represent the catholic doctrines and teachings and the catholic believers represent people who divorce and remarry... who use anticonception,.. who live together before marriage,.. who have abortion,.. who think 'live you life as gay and stay catholic' is ok etc etc

so there you have the big difference between the popes and the governing body.

When the governing body speaks... the world won't listen but Jehovah's Witnesses do

i hear many people on this forum say that kh's don't have windows.

but i have never been to one that didn't have windows.

is this only in a certain area or something?.

the no-window story is a hoax.. i have visited Kingdom Halls in dozens of countries on 4 different continents... all had windows

Mormons getting hollowed out: The tipping point has occurred.

by Qcmbr in

ever since mitt romney turned the spotlight on the lds church a growing tsunami of disaffection has been accelerated and brought to a head.. the lds core faithful members are leaving in increasing numbers such that growth has not simply stagnated in the west but it has actively reversed.

to their credit the church is responding aggressively but not only is it too late, it is an impossible task.

you can only paint sh*t so many ways.

@sir82 no its not 100% true cause the same official letter speaks about building entirely new Kingdom Halls and refurbish a lot of them too. So what is happening is abandoning old/rented buildings and build new ones.

More and more you see that they build new Halls with more than one auditorium or make with 2 or 3 congregations use of one audiorium on different days and times. That only makes sense in areas with a good number of congregations.

It has nothing to do with decline or hollowing out, but is all about ownership, cost reduction and efficiency.

Crumble?
