  this guy was building himself a new palatial stone faced trendy home. Cg:

  with the tribulation so near, and people going to throw their money French = argent, silver; german = Gelt, gold into the streets, --- he put it in real estate. I always reminded them at that point, they threw it in front of their dwellings , not because it had no value, but because they feared to be tortured to reveal the hiding place, cut open if they were suspected to have swallowed it. The only thing that the controllers believe in is their power. their purchasing proves it.

  Convention invitations

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so everyone is supposed to get all excited about the invitation work starting tomorrow, according to the announcement from the platform.. maybe this makes sense if you're giving out invitations in the city where the convention is, but what if you're many hours away?.

  a huge part of western canada is scheduled to attend edmonton alberta this july.

  so how does that go over giving out invitations in winnipeg, about a 13 hour drive(that's just driving time).. i know some are actually planning on flying there, so i can't see getting excited about getting the public to make the trek.. i was curious how this is going over in other areas?.

  Pathetic that all this churning is advertised, when you can watch the proceedings on your private screen. but for those hopefuls trying to find a mate in the bigger selection: good hunting.

  To kill or not to kill

  by Chook in

  how many jws would kill a violent rapist in there home or protect their family with lethal means .

  the one thing i love about the usa is the right to defend oneself with lethal force in their own home.

  it's not that i want to kill someone but better them dead than my children..

  The moment you enter my home with intent, you have forfeited your life. If the stae will not protect me I will have to.

  bright note, a lady in mtl ran down a thief with her car, , who had stolen her purse! pinned him underneath, and will not be charged. sad part: he survived to victimize again.

  Creation account is the creation of Moses

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the word `intelligence' [from inter, “between” + legere, “ to read”] would mean ‘discern things as though reading in between the lines.

  now read in between the lines of what moses wrote; his favored and frequent statement is this: ‘obedience to god means blessings, and disobedience means maledictions.’ (deut 28:1-68; 30:15-18) let us try to discern his motive behind this statement.. .

  when moses wanted to present 10 commandments and other laws, he naturally wanted to prepare the israelites with a mind-set that ‘we must obey god, otherwise it is problem for us.’ the best way for this was to modify a well-known story of fall from other cultures.

  That is a valid question—why could not have the faithful ones who were living closer to the time of creation written something about creation? V:

  Moses and cie lived only ~1/4000 closer to creation than us, and they were blind, compared to us with our better and better seeing aids. They were not dumb, do not run down your ancestors, but creation is still live streaming!.

  Venus: thank you for those links, food for thought and room for refutation in every one of them.

  no. I would make them fork over their ill gotten gain, free labour, no taxes , but reap benefits, -- to those that toiled, serving the lie.

  Foreign Language Field and Fading

  by NoviceLocs14 in

  2. experiences

  hey guys.

  first of all, i want to thank everyone for being so welcoming and helpful on this forum.... i was thinking about my last 3 years as a jw when i was attending the portuguese congregation and learning that language to bring in more converts.

  interestingly, we were told not to attend meetings in our native language in order to immerse ourselves in the new language.

  It prevented my in-born children to fully indoctrinated ( Most of the brainwashing happens at meetings, not at home) so: My daughter had reams of notes of scripture numbers without ever knowing their content > One day she said " Hey they are saying "satan"" ha ha. We did not follow the wt's order for special pioneers to start using the territory's language at home.

  Highly recommended, join a foreign language group! and: bye bye!

  thank you for posting that, and read the comments. I had the integrity of my neck threatened by a muslim in the h2h "work"years ago.

  Insane what is happening in Europe, but as some commentators of the article point out, this welcoming of all these males is driven by the ladies' like Merkel's desire for exotic lovers, the females, who supply the votes. Stupid german males, toiling in factories, while these lotharios, funded by tax Euros, pander to the ladies. And there is seems a sinister design behind the destruction of these divers European civilisations that have lifted mankind to the heights it enjoys today.

  who knows perhaps, his lady employer, Ms. Fugman* had developed a taste for a fresher more appetizing male import. and he will get off almost free, how dare you punish a" lese majeste " natural reaction of a mid easterner?

  * what an appropriate name. from "Fugen"= joining together, like in cabinetmaking. or other similar sounding F words.

  If ever just .5 % of the invited come, there would be chaos, there actually is, at 8 am on every day. Why don't they mention the 8 am opening, then the invited would get a taste of Christianity insanity in action, and a foretaste of the "New World" to come. Convention 5 hours away, even an possible overnight wait. nuts for nothing
