South African Government Reject Dalai Lamas' visa.
by LouBelle inyes - this government, whose people fought so hard to gain freedom and a rickety democracy has told the dalai lama that he will not get a visa to visit south africa for the peace conference.
this goverment that is quick to speak out about how their people were denied human rights 15 years ago is backing china and it suppression of tibet.
the peace conference that was to be held here has been post poned because of the idiots that run this country.

Network Business vs Watchtower Business
by jakes init just occured to me that the watchtower is run similar to a pyramid networking type business.what i am talking about is the type of business where members are recruited to distribute or sell the company's exclusive products only available from members, and not from normal retail chain stores.. in most of these network type business schemes the members stand to make at least a bit of money.however, in the watchtower's case, the members(r&f, congregations) do not.
the watchtower takes all the spoils.. would you say it is a fair comparison?.

JWs - Weaklings who despise power?
by jakes injws are not much inclined towards spirituality.their beliefs should be classed under the heading dogma.however,from the outside looking in,their distinguishing feature is not their dogma but their intense hatred of the world.for more than a century they have done nothing but groan upon it and have done very little for the plight of mankind in general.their leadership continues to exhort their followers to 'put on the complete suit of armour'.soon christ with his heavenly legions will destroy the governments,clergy,higher learning institutions and the churches.. hate seems to be foremost in their passion to see this world end.. do you think that jws are weaklings who despise the powerful because they lust after power themselves?
( matthew's 'faithfull and discreet slave' seems to be very much exalted in the jws ).

by jakes inhttp://www.russiatoday.com/top_news/2009-07-13/will_jehovah_s_witnesses_be_banned_in_russia.html.
russia seems to view them as an "extremist organization" that incites religious hatred and breaks up families.. we should be watching this story very closely.. jakes.

For Centuries...
by jakes infor centuries man has been pre-occupied with predicting the end of the world.throughout history their have been so-called visionaries and prophets that have claimed to have been given divine authority to predict the end.calculating precisely when the world will end has preoccupied a long line of forecasters.from sibyl who predicted the return of nero as the antichrist in 195,to william miller who in the nineteenth century predicted the end to come in 1843. the list of projected ends generated by these doomsdayers is impressive.amongst them the dates 195,500,948,1000,1260,1420,1588,1666,1763,1785,1819,1843,1866,1903,1914 and 1975 rank tops.
these dates have been fervently anticipated and then bitterly mourned.. .
the jehovah's witnesses is one sect that has preached and has been most obsessed with end time prophecy.the witnesses original mathematical groundwork was laid down by charles taze russell.

Good Read.Living At The End Of The World.
by jakes inhas anybody read this book by marina benjamin-living at the end of the world?.
it uncovers the characters and beliefs of a world overshadowed by end time prophecies and millenial visions.in it she takes a look at the tragedies of waco,heaven's gate and other suicide cults.the mormons and jws are also analysed very accurately.i think it is a very good book to get jws to read as it is not written by an "apostate".. .
