so there are a lot of atheists on here.
my question: where does your hope come from?
that the right people will be put in political positions and will eventually form a utopian society that will meet all needs and we will have equality for all?.
long term hope has not come from politics *, but with scientific knowledge applied well.
wt (and other) religions picture us as falling farther and lower from "perfection", but the opposite is true.
hope? hopefully, procreation will be throttled back, energy use curbed. our improved genes passed on. joy of life continued.
* during my vivid memory, a recent political system offered a 1000 year reign. thankfully it was reigned in at 12.
many world leaders have proclaimed peace and security, yet no end occurred.
everyone assumes it’s not the “big one” yet that will set off the annihilation of billions.
the current governing body are made up of all jws that are not anointed, the anointed ones have all passed away and are awaiting jehovah’s command to kill all the non jws in armageddon.
B: like your predecessors, the bible writers, you are skilled in writing fiction.
have the characters you depict considerate, that "whenever" means "every time" ? and why give up in 2040?
Archive videos of the David Splane's "chart" presentation assures us, that the show will go on to 2075.
do the math.
for lurkers: think about today's wt "study".
an illustration worse than of sheep, because these live at least until the shearing and slaughter, the life expectancy of a fish hauled out in a net or on a hook is only minutes.. the skills of a [watch tower] fisherman, the netting setting, , the bottom dragnet, the deceiving lure, (that often has no nutritional value) of empty promises, .
fishing done at night with artificial lights, wt fake enlightenment, "new light" attracting the unvary.
They are the rod in Nimrod. Bears like fishing.
AM nice play on true words,-- bsw: the bald eagle, ( on the POTUS seal ) likes fishing too. not just the bear. wt's mid week meetings are fishermen and women's rod & reel snag'em lessons, better lures, sneakier tactics.--
We are the like white sharks here, once in a while fishes get even. -
Jesus did know about Jonah, but did he not know about white sharks? They often bite those that ride the waves, almost like him. and the fisherman walking on water.

like the penned-in sheep, caught fishes are a hidden warning example to value your freedom from false empty promise religions.
message to wild roaming sheep : "climb every mountain."
to fishes: something fishy about the bait, the net. the final fate.
examine all things, keep what is good (advice).
just going by the topic titles you've been using these last few weeks.. do you think you can survive a whole four years with someone that's not exactly your favorite candidate?.
i know i'm in the minority from what i've been reading here, but i'm glad for the change!.
well, we all can't be satisfied altogether can we?.
It's not about favorites.
M, true, but personalities do matter. I actually feel sorry for Biden, now that the vice president elect will have him to smirk at, instead of Pence. he, Potus, pales in comparison to her.
Whites, who by the way have created the most desirable civilisation, technology on this planet, do not have a monopoly on racism, xenophobia, to witness:
the violence in South Africa against "foreign" blacks,, by the people that felt put upon by the former "white" establishment , (order and wealth creators) in that state. or,
the latino Trump voters, that liked his approach to deal with illegal arrivals that speak their language.
organization and congregation seems to give so much attention to the pioneers and the hours.
encouraging the members to get even the 30h at the month of c/o visit even if they don't complete the minimum of the hours.
why do they give so much praise and attention to pioneers?
pioneers received literature, magazines ( made tax free by slave labour ) at wholesale prices.
who wins?
who loses?
president/ senate/ house of representatives .
with nearly 48 % of voters disagreeing with you, disapproving of you, and your's, and your policies,. whoever wins, (von den Beiden),
better tread lightly.
you couldn't make it up!
saw this wt quote on a friend's page.
it is from the awake magazine of 1993, march 22nd apparently.
1984 Watchtower.
Jehovah's prophetic word through Christ Jesus is: 'This generation [of 1914] will by no means pass away until all things occur.' (Luke 21:32)
sj2: did you know that wt writers fell into the trap to generate another false generation prophecy, and we do not have wait until 2076 to see that it is wrong? think about it. {as we did with 1975):
wt ws say: The anointed generation has to pass away, to heaven, before the end of the Great Tribulation, before "all these things" happen. yet
Jesus predicted that all these things including Armageddon will occur before the generation (of 1914) will passes away.(during the millenium???) in other words,
In the Jesus quote, the generation survives the end, as it did Jerusalem's demise.
The wt generation teaching is truly degenerate, and it is not just the overlap.
feel sorry for them.
in australia it is compulsory to vote but none of the jws do vote or even turn up at the polling booth and lodge an invalid vote since they don't want to stumble anyone (the people they meet door knocking).
the government fines people for not voting unless they have a valid excuse.
the jws state that they are conscientious objects due to their religious beliefs.

L: in a former communist country, you did not get food ration coupons for a month, if you did not vote for commi candidate a, b, or c, not even a party choice.
Does wonders for the silhouette you want to project.
My grandmother who lived there, went without meat for a month. opposers, neutrals like ZJs were marked.
