Hitler gave crosses, patterned after the "pour le merit" military medal, to mothers of 4 or more kids, 4 was bronze, above silver. above 7 gold. ?
One things the dictators have right, ( not the left) fill your land with bearers of your own genes, do not surrender it to invaders.
something that has often struck me in my morning musings is: why should “god’s people” ever need to hide or flee in fear?.
there are numerous accounts recorded in the bible, both ot and nt, where prophets, kings, apostles and others have either been told to flee and hide or have just experienced that normal human feeling of fear and have fled and hidden instinctively.
even recently, the wtbts has produced vivid images in the wt magazine and videos of “god’s people” hiding out in bunkers to avoid detection.. is it just another broken promise from jehober that he will “without fail” protect “his people”?
they eventually get discovered by the police anyways! siar:
And you hope it is the police and not some raping pillaging mop, that holds so much territory now. then you wish you had all given all to the wt, .( which is the intended message)
The "bunker" is bunk.
Jesus: " ..lift up your heads for your deliverance is nigh.." what did the snake say? you will not ...?

identity theft?

online donations for conventions.
donations to support the annual conventions of jehovah’s witnesses may now be made online from a number of countries.
It is getting harder for the old timers to go to conventions, particularly to far away places this year, so for these fragile no shows, but hefty contributors, now you can pay without the play- ful sitting in the disabled section.
(old but not computer savvy?) ask a younger cong member to help you web-contribute, and you might even get local recognition through the gossip grapevine!

If "god" seemingly can play hide and seek, why would you expect it be different for his followers?
so i was looking on instagram and one of my former jw friends was showing pictures of his bbq ribs and saying something about well we better eat all the pigs we can now since we won't be eating meat in the new system of things?
i don't seem to remember that teaching but does anyone else?
.
Which begs the question of why Abel had flocks. For milk, fur, and lonely nights jws:
which begs the other question, why on earth would god be pleased with Abel getting rid of the useless stinky carrion, as a holy sacrifice, compared to the precious hard won vegetables that Cain offered?
the watchtower (no.3 2017) bangs an old, very tired drum in its efforts to stir up interest in the "meaning" of the 4 horseman of the apocalypse.
it joins a cluttered stage of drummers - present and past - who claim to have the final and true word about this psychotic vision of 2 thousand years ago.. if you can get passed a casual, eye-rolling read, you'll note some changes in this latest regurgitation - with some astonishing changes given what is left out.. here's what i spotted:.
soothing words about claimed cataclysmic events (e.g., "[the vision] is not designed to scare you.
No mention of the generation that saw the start of World War One would also live to see the end. steve 2:
of course not, their anointed generation ends before the end event (GT) even starts. Their horsing around is scheduled to be the shortest.
absolutely beautiful!.

double honour, and "the judgement will start with the house of god." "a more severe judgement" for elders
just some random thoughts here... theme scripture is matt.5: 33 .
we already had a thread explaining that jesus added a "but" after those words.
however, few would argue against the principle of keeping one's word.
An absolute lie if you got baptised before 1985 when the question was "adjusted" to include "God's spirit-directed organization" freddo:
or you were baptized under the "Jesus" formula, in the name of the father, son and holy spirit. and
why were the poor kids victims of the vows that the parents made?, Jephtah and Hanna, exposing the offspring to the immorality at the temple, Eli's son and company?
londo111 » each congregation has a “talk coordinator”.
talk coordinators will coordinate with other talk coordinators in order to find speakers to give the public talk on sunday.
typically, they come from the general area: the circuit or a nearby circuit.
You cannot easily 'dissipate' knowlege can you? Try disseminate next time.
well you can "diss" knowledge in a talk, happening at wt meetings near you all the time.
