my italian friend loves going to the "feasts" that occur in italy, boston or nyc.
these feasts feature a "saint" with dollar bills pinned around her and they parade the saint in a long procession and chant "viva (whomever)".
they are quite serious about this and are proud to talk about the past generations of observers who appreciated the events.
Rbih, the only hypocrite I see here is YOU, stop insulting me. What is truly disgusting is how you are bashing the Catholic Church. If it bothers you the fact that Christianity is superior to paganism, you obviously have two problems, blindness and idiocy.
Nothing anyone can do to help you. Take care.
if the tribulations started tomorrow, and all you knew of the bible was what the jws had told you, would you suddenly think, "they said this would happen, and it is, therefore they must be right", and go running back?.
or would you think, "just because eventually biblical prophiesies came to pass that "they" had read you from the bible, doesnt mean they are the chosen religion, because they get all these other doctrines wrong", and know these doctrines well enough to be able to convince yourselves.. .
replies such as "it wont happen cause its a fairy story" wont really help..
Running back? To the zoo? If what they say started to happen more reason not to go back, but start running in the opposite direction.
They should call themselves “The Lie” instead of “The Truth”. They are the modern day Pharisees.
on another thread discussing possible changes to the nwt, the post refered to a 2nd-hand report of a co leaking possible changes to 5 verses where "loose conduct" would be replaced by "brazen conduct.
" although it is merely speculative at this point, i would like to remind those of you who did attend the 2012 dc this summer about some important evidence that supports this theory.
if the program is still available on jw.org, feel free to see this for yourselves.
I am very grateful to be out of there. I can be as brazen as I please now, which is great.
i thought these were pretty surprising comments in the consolation magazine in 1946, just a few months after the full horrors of the holocaust emerged, under the heading "are the jews meek?":.
"there is no evidence in the scriptures that the jews as a people are meek.
on the contrary, jehovah's witnesses only find it stated in the bible that the jews are "stiff-necked and hard-hearted", but when they call at their homes with the message of god's kingdom they witness the same characteristics.
A rather strange thing to publish, specially in 1946.

Dgp, first of all get your facts straight, all you are doing is bashing the Church.
For your information, slavery still exists today as does human trafficking, both in Europe and America, and nobody is doing much to stop it.

Somebody should ask them how come they were announcing Catholicism in particular would fall so many decades in advance.

Dgp, you are saying that the Church is to blame for colonialism? And more so, XVI century colonialism? And based on that the current Vatican has to go?
About the birth rates, the countries with higher birth rates in the world are not the Catholic ones. Your point being?

Rbih, face palm? How about a Christmas tree with a dragon tail and three eyes? I am moving on now. Take care.
the jws, catholics, mormons, and a handful of others say they are the "true church" or what jesus originally intended.
i know jws call themselves the "true christians".
by what authority - outside of the bible, since 41,000 denominations use the bible to back up their individual beliefs - can jws make this claim?
Nc, this specific analysis is too challenging for me in a cute sort of way. Take care.

Rbih, I have not done any of the things you are accusing me of, neither have any of the many Catholic people I know.
If you get offended by people that believe in their religion that is your problem, don’t blame it on them.
Also, inform yourself before making conclusions, specially based on what you see in a movie. Take care.
