The camp of Israel and the problem of pooping
by FFGhost inso, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.
a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.
13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

Given that the middle easterners were prime descendants of Noah, who had great success dealing with 9 month worth of feces of all species, -- The Israelites must have been right in their element, it is elementary wat

travelling through a desert with no supplies.
Simon, Israel had the airborne, the Manna delivered daily and the quails, magic staffs to hammer water out of rocks too. ,
living in the center of the camp
FFG: in the center of the camp lived the priestly class, super clean. they must have dreaded the cloud lifting over the tented tabernacle and carrying that stuff through the sogging field, shallow swamp outside.
come to think of it, it is the original overlapping generation, the once that left were not the ones that arrived with 2 exceptions. The type guarantees that the old antitype hopefuls will not make it.

Chinese Rocket Falling to Earth
by Simon inas if the chinese haven't already done enough to the world recently, they have now let a 22 ton rocket go out of control and start falling to earth.
it's going 18,000 miles an hour and no one knows where it's going to hit but if it isn't water then it might leave a scuff mark.. the good news it is shouldn't be canada, as we're too far north.. the bad news is, well ... are you in canada or the same latitude or more north?.
chances are it will hit the pacific, but it's 2021 and the way things are going it could hit a major population area.. if it does hit anywhere with lots of people, i hope it twats the shit out of beijing..

the chinese should spend their huge trade balance money to get Bezos', Blue Horizon or Musk's SpaceX help them to return, land, or "sea" the boosters to bullseyes upright landings.
or contract the Pentagon to send up one of the anti ballistic weapons to reduce the size to manageable pieces.

Why did Jehovah Kill all the animals in the flood? What purpose did it serve??
by pistolpete insome of my jw family that is waking up posed that question to my jw family that is still hanging on to jw belief.. the stepbrother that posed that question told me;.
"in all these years of being a jw, i actually never gave it much thought as to why jehovah had to kill millions of innocent animals that had nothing to do with mankind becoming evil.".
i keep picturing in my mind, all the baby puppies and kitties that were destroyed by jehovah.

Animals climbed up that bristlecone that predated the flood, all but the unicorn
hoser, even the adept climbers would have needed really long straws to breeze. The pines and sequoias grow at 3400 meters, the flood covered Everest, ~ 9000 meters. those trees were lucky to not being uprooted by the churning torrents of rain falling at a rate ~10 meters an hour. and withstand the pressure of 5 km of water above them, suffocate because no CO2 to breathe. no sunlight for photosynthesis, or to float to the surface like most dead wood,
no wonder it left the snakes in the ark speechless, permanently.
all collateral damage,a really bad example for the warfare to come***, that is supposed to sort out who was interested in the awake & wt, or jw org, gave a glass of water to the [false ] prophet.
*** Armageddon is supposedly to be a greater disaster than the flood. welcome to wt land.

Why did Jehovah choose false prophet apostates as his chosen earthly organization (1919) ?
by Rocketman123 infrom a theological and biblical perspective, this has to be asked and critically examined.. the doctrines this organization and its self described fdsl (gb) chosen ones has preached and taught have now more than ever have shown to be false teachings.. the bible warns of false prophets and those who say things that god has not given them to say but the wts from its earliest beginning made proclamations such as jesus's return in 1874.. so if one were to faithfully adhere to what the bible says and more so jesus's instructions for preaching his gospel of a new kingdom to come, who really are jws loyal to, the wts.
and its top leading men or jesus and jehovah ??
?..

Wt writers are on record to have formulated and proclaimed world wide starting in 1918: " the world has anded, Millions now living will never die" Proclaimers book in the 400 pages.
If the deity selected them on the basis of that record, wt is fully justified to claim, that it has full divine approval now.
When it comes to truth, doctrine, anything goes. overlapping, anointing of the end generation.
overlapping and split personalities, taken to heaven at the beginning of the Great Tribulation, but only "passing away" after it is all over.
false prophecies over the place, see superior authorities 1929 to 1960ies.

Anyone have stories about this?
by Biahi injust reading on reddit...witnesses coming over to someone’s home after a death in the family to ‘pick over’ their possessions or asking about if they left any money to the cult?
i remember, at my previous place of employment, a mexican immigrant at my workplace, had converted to jw from catholic, although i did try to talk him out of it.
this has to be over 25 years ago.

hanger-ones like to harvest too. The wt reminded will executors some time ago, that if the testament shows the org as the beneficiary, the value should be turned over to wt. inc.
If such diversions did not happen, and persons profited personally, headquarters would not have published that reminder.
was there not a case near Ottawa, where an elder was involved in a scheme like that?

America was a natural to have such entities develop. immigrants, energetic often the outsider, from religious splinter groups, from all nationalities, reflecting much the percentages of the US population make up, Russel, Rutherford, Knorr, Franz, and
ready to return the scheme to their countries of origin.
nothing new here, if the first Abrahamic faith was Jewish, the third"s late offspring: American. Vox populi vox dei.
