  Simon,
  

  Swords and bullets, military strength, is the only thing Islam understands or respects.

  The west beat Islam back and ultimately gave us the most liberal societies the world has ever enjoyed. We should not squander so willingly the hard fought gains that millions died for, all so some slick-haired grinning buffoon of a politician can virtue-signal.

  If by the West you're talking about the crusades they were fought by a Catholic theocracy in the dark ages. They were certainly not liberal and those liberal societies that came about did so after Christendom lost a lot of its power.

  i never got into trouble with the elders.

  i served on judicial committees too many times.

  i am happy that i no longer have to "judge" whether someone is a "sinner" any longer!

  I was disfellowshipped in absentia by the circuit overseer. Two elders came to my house to announce their decision.

  RED HERRING

  by biblexaminer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  if you have the inclination, call the number and ask ..."is russia banning "reading the bible, singing and praying with fellow worshippers"??.

  can you say red herring?.

  maybe they should add "feeding your children is clearly not criminal, neither is helping an old woman cross the street".

  Bibleexaminer,
  

  Not one "church" is being affected ... 0% churches.

  Actually, all protestant churches are being affected. A Pentecostal church was bulldozed in Russia and prayer meetings in private residences have been banned. It's the Russian Orthodox church that is being coddled.

  I can't believe that 3 posters down voted Blondie's comment on Muslim's contributing money to terrorist victims. Shame on you.

  So use hydrogen carefully to generate clean electricity.
  

  Sorry, but it only takes minute amounts and a couple of decades to have an effect. Just like chlorofluorocarbons that were being released in the tiniest of amounts. Nothing is perfectly safe except that which doesn't interact with the environment at all.

  "Forced" study with an Elder - The first question i will pose, help appreciated.

  by CitizenofEarth in

  hello folks.

  as some of you might know my dad couldnt keep quiet about my view of the world, so i have been "forced" to study with an elder.

  otherwise i would be dragged to questioning, which is to much pressure for a young inexperienced person like me.

  CitizenofEarth,
  

  The first question i will pose is: What is the scriptual basis for interpreting the 144000 as a figure to be taken literally? Almost everything else in Revelation 7 is interpreted symbolically, as fx. the 144000 coming from the 12 tribes, and that 12000 will be taken from each. All other descriptions in connection to with the 144000 such as virginity, that they originate from the 12 tribes, that they are wothut defilement and that the lamb and the fathers name is on their forehead is interpreted as symbolic, but the figure is taken literally. Why?
  

  It is accepted amongst Christian eschatologists that the 144,000 represents Jews who converted to Christianity in contrast to Christian Gentiles which form the Great Multitude (Great Crowd).

  Further more, the reading in most translations depict the "virgins" as "..."those who did not defile themselves with women" (Revelation 14:4) meaning that they're all men. So much for being a female amongst the anointed.

  Cofty,

  Or split water to extract hydrogen just as photosynthesis does effortlessly.
  

  If every vehicle ran on hydrogen then the minute amounts that leak out would float up towards the upper atmosphere (Like a balloon) and interact with the ozone. It would diminish it.

  Everything that's done in an industrial scale has unintended consequences and has to be thought out very carefully.

  Crazyguy,

  So maybe a mushroom type fungi will save us from our stupidity when it comes to nuclear power plants.
  

  Eating radioactive material doesn't mean that the radioactivity will be neutralized, it just means that it's being absorbed.

  GB asks every JW to give Putin their home address

  by MrHappy in

  2. current

  jw's around the globe have been encouraged to write letters to putin and the russian government.

  they are expected to give their personal details on the envelope.

  i appreciate that this might be normal when writing to your own government if they are tolerant, but is this not a bit strange that the gb want to give putin the address of every jw in the world?
