  Russian Earthquake Forces Putin to Reconsider – Won’t Ban Jehovah’s Witnesses

  ap – april 1st, 2017. russian earthquake forces putin to reconsider – won’t ban jehovah’s witnesses.

  in a stunning reversal of events, vladimir putin had an emergency meeting with all un members and made a proposition unbanning jehovah’s witnesses worldwide.. after the devastating 6.9 earthquake in eastern russia, and after receiving nearly one metric ton of letters from jehovah’s witnesses worldwide, putin changed his mind and decided not only to not ban jehovah’s witnesses in russia, but proposed to the un to remove all restrictions from jehovah’s witnesses worldwide.. surprisingly, jehovah’s witnesses were not pleased.. david a. ssholian, the spokesman for jehovah’s witnesses, said that “this reversal is a disaster for jehovah’s witnesses worldwide.

  we just can’t be unbanned everywhere, that would be a severe blow for our faith.”

  JW apologetics websites.

  lately i have been studying some basic christology and jesus in the old testament and why first christians believed jesus was god in the flesh.

  really interesting stuff.

  i am not really sure if i fully understand it but i do now realize why pastors go to university and bible school for a number of years and also how their beliefs are not just based on a few verses that can be edited in the nwt.

  I googled. Still not sure exactly what sites you mean.

  JW Christology is the JW view of Jesus, including ideas such as: Jesus is an angel; he was created by God and has a beginning; he is not equal to God in power or eternity; he was elevated to his position by God; he worships God as other creatures do; when Jesus became human he did not have a dual nature; now Jesus is an angel again in heaven; he did not retain a human nature after his resurrection; he was resurrected with a spiritual body not a fleshly body, and so on. All of these ideas can be well defended from various Bible texts.

  Which websites?

  Personally I think a good case can be made for JW Christology.

  publication, that is?.

  i just found all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial in storage.

  i enjoyed studying it, as well as make sure of all things, hold fast to what is fine.. our thinking has changed, of course, but, back then, did you have a wt publication you especially liked?.

  Before I got baptised (in 1997) I read a lot of the older publications. I liked Jehovah's Wintesses In The Divine Purpose and the yellow What Has Religion Done For Mankind? Because they both had a lot of history and I like history.

  greetings, friends and fellow posters:.

  while searching for another topic, i came across an old thread of mine on cultural diversity and our "imminent" ushering into paradise.

  i was surprised to see a photo of steven lett (posted four years ago).

  On the thread we've had:

  claims that Muslims didn't speak out against Westminster attack when they did

  claims that Muslims didn't join vigil against murder in Glasgow when they did

  words of Muslim Mayor twisted and taken out of context to imply he is not a moderate

  And so on. If right wingers have the right of this debate, why do they need to rely so much on lies and distortion? Is the a single "fact" against Muslims on this thread that actually bears scrutiny?

  Yet more vicious nonsense. Here is the interview where Sadiq Khan used the phrase "uncle Toms".

  https://youtu.be/BPqHMcNUuP0
  

  
  

  I'm not sure exactly what he meant by using the phrase as it's not terribly clear. I guess he may have been trying to say that it's no use just talking to people who agree with you. Who could disagree with that? Whatever he meant by using the term, I think it's pretty clear he meant nothing like the implication that's been made: that somehow he opposes moderate Islam. That's just patent nonsense.

  What on earth did he mean? Was he talking about marrying non-believers who would die at Armageddon?
