jehovah's witnesses were raped and tortured by the thousands in malawi because they obeyed the watchtower society's rules, and they broke caesar's law and refused to purchase a political card in a country that only had one polictical party.
now (since 1999), jehovah's witnesses are allowed to vote in political elections!
i would love to hear everyone's comments.
In the 99 article, wt is freeing itself from legal responsibility, it shifted the burden entirely onto the hapless "publishers" they are the publishers, although wt prints the literature, makes the video productions, the ver changing doctrines.
since the governments are placed in their position by the deity, how do we humans humans dare to effect that process? or, are we not god's fellow workers?
Avoid a Malawi fate at all cost. wt does the shifting, the jws do the 'schufting".
please forgive if my english is a bit crooked :-) at least i understand quite well and i thank everyone here in the forum very much!
you were a big help for me within the last months.
i'm a born-in from germany, mid50, was 20 years elder, woke up a few years ago.
Mgb: love to hear your accent.
Dying is a highly personal experience, and I have been near death several times. I do not recall any euphoric moments. but also no pain, when I should have. so:
i take that to mean, that animals that according to Peter are meant to be caught, killed, sacrificed, eaten, have a less horrible death experience, than we imagine, except in slaughterhouses
I am 10 years away from a natural death, so wish me well. .
here in the uk, we've had a recent missing persons case which has turned into a potential murder inquiry.. sarah everard (33), disappeared on wed 3 march in london.
human remains were subsequently found in a wood near ashford, kent, and a met police officer has been arrested on suspicion of murder.. horrible events, and the issue of women feeling unsafe on the streets certainly needs discussing.. but surely not what baroness jones suggested: tabling an amendment for a 6pm curfew for all men.
wtf???.
instead of worrying about the merit of this particular remedy, I am really really keen on eradicating rapist for good, our good.
A florida highway cop was a serial rapist, killer. a california former police officer was found to be a notorious rapist 40+ victims?
in germany it is gang rape of under 14 year old girls right now. india? and
having the death penalty does not help, because that leads to more killings to bury the talking evidence. so
haw about developing a unassailable free device/ service, that will trigger an immediate, and permanr response, Mr. Bezos, Gates, Buffet please? or
Mr Musk, Mars can wait, our girls cant.
does anyone know when and how the change took place?
is the "day age" theory still the current position of watchtower?.
the idea that the seventh day was 7,000 years and that in 1975 there were 1,000 years to go (the millenium).
E: This timing idea is so ingrained in wt's "universal sovereignty" complex, that they twist bible texts to make it appear that all the ills caused by "satan's challenge", the settling of accounts, will happen while the deity is at his 7th day rest. within the creative week.
wt writers to this day will slavishly use the phrase " At the end end of the thousand years" instead of the biblical: "after the 1000 years were ended" (satan will be let loose). Thus
Wt makes mistakes not only at the beginning of the last part of the remaining creative day saga, but also at the end.
let's face it wt, the creative day saga is all made up. no surprise, since the defining moment happens in the talking snake's schnozzle.
hi friends i`ve finally got an appointment to go to hospital tomorrow ,pre-admission for my hip replacement surgery.. so if you don`t hear from me ever again ,it means i`ve carked it .lol, should i even joke about that ?.

amazing ! recuperating slowly like that, and simultaneously satisfying your partner at the 60ies wedding anniversary. as described in that concurrent thread.
whether you are in the usa or another country, are you for it or against it?.
For all practical purposes, it is open borders now, at the southern US, Europe.
The entries are lawless, illegal, imposed on law abiding citizens.
we are heading for a society dominated by scofflaws.
whether you are in the usa or another country, are you for it or against it?.
pulling up the drawbridge for the current immigrants looking for a better life.
Yeah, like hispanics voting for trumph.
The problems with many immigrants is, that they will not assimilate, learn the language, but create a different society, displacing, replacing the great order, and establishing the failed cultures that they fled.

is the "day age" theory still the current position of watchtower?.
are you suggesting that the prevailing view of current JW's is that the universe was created in 6 literal days 6000 years ago?
No, I meant that among those jw that are lucid enough to think about it, none would make that 6000 years.
This use of the term “beginning” is therefore unassailable,
but the bible is totally wrong in this use of "beginning" in Gen 1;1, , lumping together the heavens, stars mainly and our* planet *(the father has given it to us) .
Since the Big Beginning, there were at least 3 generations of stars dying explosive deaths to forge the elements the Earth and we are made of.
We are the endresult , not the beginning. by a long shot. ~ 9 000 000 000 years.
does anyone know when and how the change took place?
is the "day age" theory still the current position of watchtower?.
Anyway, does anyone know if the general belief of current JW's is that the earth is billions of years old but all of the creation is young (6000 yrs. ago) ?
I do not believe any jw would believe that, but if wt taught that, some would accept it.
new light, old. according to the relativity theories, time stands still for light in flight.
whether you are in the usa or another country, are you for it or against it?.
Spanish lesson here.
english lessons should be compulsory, before these people are even allowed near the border.
Proficiency tests before the citizenship ceremony. abolishing of all bilingual services, material.
