  Image: Great Tribulation

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the org's fear theme has really been emphasized recently- the bunker video and now the convention video with jws being pursued by guys with assault rifles.

  this image comes from the watchtower july 2017 questions from readers: would it be fitting for a christian to keep a firearm, such as a handgun or a rifle, for protection against other humans?.

  the caption for the image is this: during the great tribulation, christians will rely on jehovah and not try to defend themselves.

  Will the Pope apologize? - Truth and Reconciliation Commission Canada

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i am posting this in this section (child abuse) because of the impact the catholic church has on what transpires in the religio-socio-legal realm that the jws are also embroiled in, concerning institutional abuses.. the catholic church is not willing to apologize for their role in the horrific abuses that occurred in canada in the residential school system for the canadian indigenous population.. for anyone who is interested in background on this dark chapter of canadian history, the truth and reconciliation report is available here - it is a hefty volume that is very difficult to read and it is the result of a royal commission on aboriginal peoples.. the pope has refused to offer an apology and it has become a controversial subject in canadian politics:.

  'no government tells the pope what to say': priest defends lack of apology for residential schools.

  a canadian priest is defending pope francis' decision not to apologize to indigenous people in canada for the role the catholic church played in the residential school system.about 150,000 first nation, inuit and métis children were taken from their parents by law and forced to attend church-run residential schools.

  How registering as a JW in Germany benefits the WT/Org

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in some european countries, "church tax" is levied against members of certain religions.

  how each country handles this differs depending on each country's tax laws.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/church_tax.

  in germany, a member of a religion that has "public law" status pays an additional 8 or 9 percent on their tax assessments.
