  When POLITICAL ELEMENT TURNS ON RELIGION

  by cameo-d in

  will this perhaps only "appear" as destruction of religion?.

  could it be that religion will simply go through a reformation?.

  hasn't the political and religious element always been bedfellows?.

  Well Catholics and Jews have had historical animosity towards each other, it's a good thing when they engage in peaceful talk and negotiation together...however, still I have to wonder...

  As these two religious Goliaths come together it migh appear that this will this result in more religious freedom for the individual, but will it be to create more of a monopoly of power?

  Just looking at monopolies in the business, look at the monopoly of the US Federal Reserve, the unlimited power it is the largest corporation in the world , consider the effect historically it has had on our freedoms and our economy.

  Historically monopolies created in business or religion or government have not created more freedom but constrained and stifled freedom.

  Have you forgiven your parents for bringing you up in the JW cult?

  i had to sort through that for some years ago.

  i concluded my parents were victims of the watchtower society too.

  dad was a prisoner of war, under nazis at 19 yrs of age, almost died there due to no medicines or antibiotics and lost almost half his weight, his nerves were shot and he was drawn to the jws promise of a new world without war.

  I consider it kind of like a bus accident, my parents raised me as a JW and therfore my life was hit and run over by the Witness bus you never quite recover but you limp along the best you can.

  I forgave them.

  The purple represents if I can remember thirty years to my JW days kingship or connection to the politcal rulers or nations of the earth and the scarlet represents harlotry, immorality. Babylon the harlot the woman adorned in purple and scarlet represents the world empire of false religion riding on the back of the wild beast the United Nations (actually I don't disagree with the sympathy behind interpreting this as false religion in bed with corrupt politics), this according to the JW beliefs of the mid seventies, JW beliefs, as we know, are always subject to change. I am starting to forget this stuff, a good sign?

  For all I know the JW's of today could be calling the Harlot Woman symbol Walmart and the Wild Beast symbol they could be saying is the World Wrestling Federation since their now saying that ex-Jw's are the anti-Christ then I guess aaanything is possible.

  I would be a little curious to know what they interpret those symbols in Relevelation to be today since I have not kept up with their changing views.

  C. T. actually Jehovar is just Jehovah with an East Coast accent. It was kind of a joke even when I was in the Witnesses back in the seventies. If those guys can't guys can't laugh a little about that they might as well stay in the J.W.'s

  I remember one meal time at Bethel a guy from New Jersey started his noon time prayer with "Jehovar you've done it again anotha wo-o-o-ndeful day, and the whole Bethel family cracked up right in the middle of a prayer.

  Well I am an ex-Bethelite and if they had given me the boot for economic reasons I would have to ask myself why Jehovah didn't provide, I mean if the bible says he takes care of even the birds why doesn't he provide for his servants who have made the big sacrifice to serve in the house of the lord. If God can create the Universe why can't he see to it that the Bethel family gets take care of?

  No I would more than a little bitter.

  Does the Vatican Have a Secret Army?

  the knights of malta are the militia of the pope, and are sworn to total obedience by a blood oath which is taken extremely seriously and to the death.

  the pope as the head of the vatican is also the head of a foreign national power.. .

  Isn't it wierd we have these private armies running around that can go fight side by side with our army in in Iraq, kill people, stink up our name and whose responsible? Some day if they choose the elite can turn these armies on us to bring in a Police State. Their Unconstitutional and a danger to Democracy, the public shouldn't stand for it.

  And another thing the elite can have their private police force to protect themselves and their interests but they don't want to let the average citizen even have a gun to protect themselves, it shows you what a high value they put on their own saftey and what a low value they put on everyone elses.

  this page was last modified on 31 may 2009 at 01:15. .

  i am not sure if it called apostates part of the anti-christ before, but it appears they have made some changes on the page and it seems to be very strong and assertive language.. .

  what about this final verse from a poem by Sir Walter Scott who was a Scottish Mason

  Sir Walter Scott, Marmion (1808)

  Ohwhat a tangled web weweave,
  When first we practise to deceive!

  Sir Walter Scott, Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17.

  In Alex Jones documentary film on the Bohemian Grove where he infiltrated the private Bohemian Grove Club private camp grounds there was a large wooden statue of an Owl to which the club does a fake ritualistic human sacrifice. I believe the owl is called Molech and the fake sacrificial victim called Dull Care.

  in the1975 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses on page 121, it says:upon brother rutherfords return to the societys pittsburgh offices, he instructed the societys vice-president, c. a. wise, to go to brooklyn and see about reopening bethel and renting premises where the society could begin printing operations.

  the conversation went like this:.

  "go and see whether it is the lords will for us to return back to brooklyn.".

  It sounds to me like Rutherford may have had some insider information and wanted it to look like a miracle.

  The Gig is Up!

  every few centuries, religion has to change it's face.. there's always a plan b in the wings.. this religious house of cards is destined to fall.

  it has been an orchestrated plan all along.. but while people have been debating and arguing over religious dogma, the carcases of controversy designed to keep us occupied and blinded, the capstone elite have been silently moving their new plans to fruition.. the totalitarian theocratic system aka kingdom of god is a business venture.

  it is a reorganization between commerce, religion, and politics.

  Church and State together again are up to the same fear mongoring. Nancy Pelosi currently is in China talking about every aspect of American's lives must be subjected to an inventory of how we take responsibility for our lives, and Ted Turner's rants about too many people, saying we will be cannabilizing one another in the future, using the term "useless eaters". Henry Kissenger under Nixon said food would be used as a weapon in the third world. The West preassured one child policies in China have created a huge unbalanced male population . European newspaper headlines recently said the European population needs to be cut in half.

  Meanwhile Turner has five kids. The elites run around the world in jets but restrict travel for others, many own tens to hundreds of thousands of acres of idle farmland while Government regulation puts small farmers out of business, and their even trying to restrict home gardening.

  And if the World Banks would stop ripping of the third world, (read the book 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman') then they could industrialize and the populations would naturally fall, as they have in every industrialized nation.
