three teens were convicted of stealing and the punishment is cut off their fingers.

some past punishments were finger and foot removal.

pretty barbaric but i bet they don’t have too many looters there..

Rape is a crime of power and violence, not lust. f218
,you must never have experienced the strength of the male sex drive. either way, the Iranian solution would render the rapist powerless. Their kind should be prevented from inflicting their crimes on the rest of us. They should be prevented from spreading their genes into the future humanity. imho.
as to the person with the shortened hands, They would be great greeters at walmart, baumarkt. banks. seeing the consequences of their craft would guide potential thieves' shopping / chopping experience.

Very soon that Zombie event would be eliminated from the NWT.
AS: if the mightiest force in the universe, and there are truly mighty forces at play here, can not manage not come up with a clear text,
how about the rest of the fantasy tale that rests on that foundation?

Do Other Sheep have Eternal Life Now?
by Vanderhoven7 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
one of the benefits of justification is eternal life for believers.

i found an interesting passage from the wt, june 15, 1974 which reads:.

"it is to the spirit anointed christians who will rule in that kingdom that most of the christian-greek scriptures is directed, including the promise of everlasting life.
waton

the anointed gained immortality whereas the other sheep gained everlasting life s3:
The partakers have to give up everlasting life to gain immortality. All immortal ones ( except the father) , had first an earthly right, hope of everlasting life, including Jesus.
With everlasting life you are vulnerable, can be killed, starve to death.
what was the tree of life for after all?, to repair such damage.***
*** The tree of live was not a forbidden fruit, perhaps even a staple in the diet to maintain the "all was good" of creation.
not endorsing, the talking snake story.

From this week's Jesus study 132. The resurrected corpses, going into Jerusalem, to be seen there. Math 27 52, 53.
wt version: it is people that happened to be in the cemetery that saw the resurrected holy ones and went into Jerusalem to be visible there.
Wt theology demands that only GB members can resurrect on record.
This bible passage ranks among the fairy tale level anyway.

One sequence of steps culled from different publications is, that all christians by virtue of partaking (John 6) have everlasting life, which means restoration of the perfect human condition.
The wt "anointed" have to sacrifice that earthly privilege to obtain the heavenly calling as bsw also did J.C. , the second Adam .
not endorsing just mentioning.

VdH, Can extremist escape prosecution because their ancient texts demand action against infidels?
If wt gives freedom to chose shunning or not, why are violators punished?
Of course I discourage my family to greet the pedophiles, and " adulterous eyes" in the congregation, but I can avoid being punished for that, almost.

Unbelievable Freddie Franz Admissions

unbelievable admissions.. freddie confesses he fell for his own propaganda.. https://youtu.be/fkjw-r9oitk.

I simply don’t believe a person with a truly exceptional intellect would fall for Russell’s gobble-de-gook. Ds,
may be he did not, but was convinced of just one aspect and saw a theatre to act in , realizing that the road to Rhodes were too crowded.
The subject matter seems correct, candid, but the voice not quite right.
DOC, may be Ross Perrot took up acting? doing voice overs? Fits the part, a modest man, wanted to rule the US of A, but Fredrick co - rule the universe and the beyond.
