i saw a headline saying chile is demanding religious organizations fly the nations flag.. is this accurate?
is the society complying?.
https://jwsurvey.org/tag/jehovahs-witnesses.
Thinking: what about a ship used by jw missionaries, and vessels are required to fly the flag of the nation of their registry.
would the blue JWORG do? the new earthly symbol of the 1914 kingdom? or are the local colours de rigueur ? for an imaginary HMS "'Lookbryn" ?
seriously though, in the 1930 the government ordered all to fly the swastika, but since no ceremony is involved, could/should a ZJ have done so, or
a local jw done so in Malawi?
i hope you are all doing ok and healing from the cult.
i’m looking for an image of the old woman donating to watchtower but also in the same pic looking in her fridge and having little to eat.
i need it for a video for youtube.
750 k is not a big deal in many places, as real estate values are well above 500 000 a pop for a house.
One widow endowing the congregation could have them hit the million mark.

afterthought: that is why the lady in the empty fridge picture has that expensive coiffure, all the time.

when I saw the picture I was appalled, it ranked with the mind-insulting videos for the childish wt believers.
The lady reminded me though of the well to do widows and divorcee women here, that always have a picture perfect hairdo
The subtle double message is really: -- keep up appearances, beautify the "truth", stay slim, before food shopping put aside funds to feed the wt maw., ma.
so i was observing an online conversation between a jw and a former-jw.
the non-jw pointed out that wwi cant have had anything to do with satan supposedly being "cast out of heaven" because wwi was already well under way in oct 1914.. the jw proceeds to explain that satan was actually thrown down to the earth in 1915 and that he started to wreak havock on the earth from heaven knowing he was about to be cast out.. so 1914 is officially old light now?
does anyone have a source for that or was this brother lying through his teeth?.
1914 will be the date that Jesus’ coronation ceremony began, DD:
and the start of the "anointed" the "bride", to also becoming the generation that will not pass away, and overlap in 2 groups.
wt has the story wrong here , not because 2 centenarians like F. Franz, overlapping by 20 years will get us to 2075, but
if all the "anointed" will not pass away until all has happened,
they might make it to the post-Armageddon "wedding" alright, but miss their reserved place in the army of 144 001 immortals, killing all the babies, apostates and all those that did not subscribe to The Awake & Watchtower, or Jw.Org.
hi friends, feel free to correct me where i`m wrong with this post.after all it`s just my observation of jw`s and the bible.. in the beginning of gods dealings with adam it was on a personal level , god to man so to speak.. god then dealt with humans via the patriarchs , then with the levi priesthood ,then judges ,( and a woman was a judge ) then kings ,somewhere in between all of this prophets played a major part ,and then came jesus christ the messiah.. and to my knowledge god has not validated a successor to him with any evidence i`ve seen .. jehovah`s witnesses claim to be christians but have with no new testament backing usurped jesus with jehovah.. this period of time ,until god says otherwise ,christians are to give honour and glory to none other than jesus christ .. that is the name that is above any other name until god says otherwise.
phil.2:9-11. not the name jehovah .the bible never says anything about a kingdom of jehovah ,the coming kingdom is the kingdom of jesus christ with his associate 144,000 earthly subjects.. this is just my understanding of what the bible actually says .. whether i believe it or not is another matter..
If Jesus is their leader, as jws sang this week, why do they not follow his lead? He, who is on record to have never addressed his father with that name. Case in point: His last words while dying: "Father, why--" "Eli, Eli, --"
three teens were convicted of stealing and the punishment is cut off their fingers.
some past punishments were finger and foot removal.
pretty barbaric but i bet they don’t have too many looters there..
Rape is a crime of power and violence, not lust. f218
,you must never have experienced the strength of the male sex drive. either way, the Iranian solution would render the rapist powerless. Their kind should be prevented from inflicting their crimes on the rest of us. They should be prevented from spreading their genes into the future humanity. imho.
as to the person with the shortened hands, They would be great greeters at walmart, baumarkt. banks. seeing the consequences of their craft would guide potential thieves' shopping / chopping experience.

not too many repeat looters anyway , works for rapists too. see

Very soon that Zombie event would be eliminated from the NWT.
AS: if the mightiest force in the universe, and there are truly mighty forces at play here, can not manage not come up with a clear text,
how about the rest of the fantasy tale that rests on that foundation?
one of the benefits of justification is eternal life for believers.
i found an interesting passage from the wt, june 15, 1974 which reads:.
"it is to the spirit anointed christians who will rule in that kingdom that most of the christian-greek scriptures is directed, including the promise of everlasting life.
the anointed gained immortality whereas the other sheep gained everlasting life s3:
The partakers have to give up everlasting life to gain immortality. All immortal ones ( except the father) , had first an earthly right, hope of everlasting life, including Jesus.
With everlasting life you are vulnerable, can be killed, starve to death.
what was the tree of life for after all?, to repair such damage.***
*** The tree of live was not a forbidden fruit, perhaps even a staple in the diet to maintain the "all was good" of creation.
not endorsing, the talking snake story.

From this week's Jesus study 132. The resurrected corpses, going into Jerusalem, to be seen there. Math 27 52, 53.
wt version: it is people that happened to be in the cemetery that saw the resurrected holy ones and went into Jerusalem to be visible there.
Wt theology demands that only GB members can resurrect on record.
This bible passage ranks among the fairy tale level anyway.
