'who is leading god's people today' is quite incredible.
i am so looking forward to blondie's comments on this one.
marginal notes: Par 19: "--[Jesus} appealed neither to his vast wisdom, nor to his unparalleled experience--"
comment: and that is obvious, because, how could he refer to a flood that could have never happened, to a fish swallowing a surviving man for 3+ days, not object to Satan's flat Earth temptation, if he recalled the facts?

after sitting down, the witnesses were told to look at the sun, and soldiers watched their eyes to make sure they were staring at the blazing sun.
Herd animals ( no insult intended )
lived under The Nazis, under the Commies, and wt is as extremist as they were. when in bethel, fitted in instantly.
greetings, my aging friends:.
it's not really a funny subject, our getting old and our bodies falling apart.
sure, as the saying goes, hard work won't kill you, but it can wear out your body.
Dorcas of course was good with the needles, and even though it did not prevent her death, it merited her a resurrection, a reward in line with Jesus' mentioned to bring benefit, humanitarian activity.
experts meet at the "wiener bluttage" (vienna blood-days) from 20.-22nd april 2017.. wasn' "wiener blut" composed by johann strauss?.

wiener blut, thats funny, like berliner luft. aus der jugendzeit.
It can not hurt to keep the Blood for real emergencies.
wt acknowledges their lack of neutrality during ww1, and previously stated that this was followed by a period of refining.
however, they were still the one group that far-and-away were the only ones that were practicing first-century christianity the most closely, as well as being the only group trying to do so.. interesting read about the hutterites ( http://www.ubcpress.ca/books/pdf/chapters/courtsandcolonies/chapterone.pdf ).
, especially this quote about ww1:.
because they lacked the savvy to come up with a worldwide campaign, proclaiming " The World has ended, Millions now living will never die". That gem brought wt the honor to be appointed the Faithful & Discreet Slave, of 1919, 5 years into the under lapper group of the last generation.
i just watched the live feed from the russian court room and followed the updates on the russian exjw forum.. just waiting for confirmation from other sources...but, it looks like the final (and expected) result is:.
banned.
which means that the wts property in russia now belongs to the russian state..
think it's really terrible that the Russian government banned the JW.... Yes, they have done many mistakes (and held them accountable for that) but they are peaceful people.
mf: They did not ban the people, did they? they banned the wt bts inc, org, the originators, enforcers of the hate.

i'm not sure if this has been discussed before - i did a brief search and couldn't find anything on this particular aspect.. for those atheists who believe it is all nonsense anyway, feel free to ignore this post.
i happen to be of that same persuasion but i still enjoy discussing it on a philosophical level.
its funny how you may have left because of the more "out there" doctrines and chronology etc not making sense and you come to see that they are going "beef the things written", but the longer you're out and the more you think about your old beliefs, even the most common basic or "fundamental" doctrines are also "going beyond the things written.. baptism as a symbol of dedication is a case in point.
Hebr. 10: 7-10 : "--I have come [ to baptism] to do your will--" is cited to by wt writers, not of dedication, but of an public , symbolic act, declaration to do "god's" will

"Serena was pregnant when she won the 2017 Australian Open and thanked jehovah for the winning shot.
dd: In the heyday of Commi east germany, the coaches would get the girl competitors, ( mostly single) pregnant, no better boost than those legal hormones.
They were not blaspheming though, they thanked their drug overlords.
