Constantine
by HowTheBibleWasCreated inthe fact that the majority of the world jumps when you say 'god' is traced back to one guy.
constantine, this is the one man that made christianity the official religion rome thus masking the beliefs of people until the reformation a literal hell.. oh yes mohamed knew his teaching later.. when you say 'god' as if other people are supposed to be impressed you owe that to constantine.
not a mythical figure named jesus, .

New Years Eve
by wozza inhere it is ,the end of a year and a new one starting tomorrow.. i do not want to reflect on the bad the year brought us ,but thankfully i will move into the new year glad that i am still here to enjoy the good things in life that are still here .. though i've had some personal bad stuff happening like all do from time to time i did have things to be thankful for ,like my loving partners support and a wonderful christmas visit with my daughters family and grand children.. i had to plan my driving trip to queensland in between covid shutdowns but this made it more exciting and helped me to see i should not take family for granted.. so i'm thankful for the good the year brought and yet sorrowful for those in the world who had bad things happen.. that's the stuff of life and sometimes it's worse for a while and then change brings better times.. i don't believe the strike of clock will bring change but what we do in our lives will ,i've made bad decisions that have lbrought life long change for bad but i have made some for good.
some things from outside will bring change ,like covid ,but it is how we handle things that really matters for the future.. the one big thing i am thankful for is getting insight from this wonderful site that helped me see what the disgusting watchtower org is in reality , and over the years have seen thru others here how they broke the clutches of a cult of liars.. so thank you all and hope that the future brings some happiness as well ,agong with the sorrow and especially to all the ozzies on here.

Regarding new "Morning Worship" video - John Ekrann: "The Love of Money" (2 Tim. 3:2)
by EasyPrompt inthe man spends nine minutes and sixteen seconds condemning all the behaviors that the wtbt$ is guilty of without even realizing he's doing it.. .
(as he sits in a studio in a compound build with "voluntary donations" where they are fed and clothed and cleaned and insured with "voluntary donations" and drive cars purchased with "voluntary donations" all associated with a corporation founded on a selling-literature-business and now often funded by building/restoring real estate with slave labor and then selling it to pay for some elders at bethel to live on a lake and take jets to give talks to worshipful doting masses at convention centers in various parts of the earth.).

osaka -- a former jehovah's witness, who spoke about her regrets over abusing her son in the name of religion, is among many people coming out about their experiences linked to children being raised as "second-generation followers" in the wake of the assassination of former prime minister shinzo abe.. the woman in her 50s, who goes by the pseudonym ryoko, lives in the western japan city of osaka.
even after 30 years, she still remembers her son crying and the pain she felt on her palm as she spanked her child over her lap as punishment for not sitting still at a religious meeting.. although she contemplated whether she should really spank her son, aged 2 at the time, she followed the teaching that "it's for the sake of the child to hit them.
