Best part from the bible even an atheist loves...could change the world (Ukraine.)

by Witness 007 in

as an atheist i now still love these comments better then anything in shakespeare.

(jesus) "return your sword to its place, for he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword....love your neighbour as yourself.

turn the other cheek.

Regardless of what the Bible says , 2022 and we are still waging wars against each other ? WTF ?

We haven`t learnt anything in all this time on our planet.

What hope for the future ?

Not much i`m afraid.

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Does Jesus speak out of both sides of his mouth ?

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

The same Jesus

No wonder I have become an Atheist .

the articles on the jw-cd which only go back to 1950 where we fought back the attacks.

i do not understand why they did not continue to blast our bible since it is such a fraud....down south in usa churches teach members how to refute dubs at their door.....but why did they stop blasting the nwt?

it is sooooooo easy to show a dub there is a bunch of made up crap in it.....i may have to help my local chruches.....if you need more info about the horrible fraud parts, feel free to pm me.........................oompa......even elders dont know

Ants and Jehovah's Witnesses: The Elite Death Spiral

by Terry in

jw
friends

what creates an elite death spiral?claiming special privileges by virtue of having been selected among others french élite "selection, choice," "chosen person" define the term privilege.

“rights and priorities over and above others” advantage granted, special right or favor granted to a person or group, a right, immunity, benefit, or advantage enjoyed by a person or body of persons beyond the common advantages of other individuals"question: how are the privileges of the elite conferred and by what right are they exercised over others?special knowledge (insight into useful secrets and abilities unknown and unavailable to others).oracle: "a message from a god expressed by divine inspiration through a priest or priestess," in answer to a human inquiry, usually respecting some future event.prophet: "person who speaks for god; one who foretells, inspired preacher," "the function of a prophet; inspired utterance; the prediction of future events," test of a claim of special knowledge: what is it?.

conditions: 1. completeness: a. both parties must be honest b. both parties follow the rules2.

Let's all bask in the reflected glory of actor Sean Penn ...

by LoveUniHateExams in

"i'll smelt my oscars if the academy awards doesn't let zelensky speak!".

wow, his virtue is so good i can't look at it directly, because it would blind me, lol.. yep, it's this year's oscar's ceremony.. prepare for next-level celebrity virtue signalling .... https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/mar/27/sean-penn-oscars-zelenskiy-ukraine .

smiddy3

They're actors , I believe the whole thing was staged , and it was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

What better way to get people to engage with the Oscars than a little controversy .

Memorial invite

by JoenB75 in

now they start inviting to their "commemorate the death of jesus" event.

it always makes me a bit sad.

i don’t think i could endure to watch it myself today.

The GB have mandated that in-person meetings resume April 1,

April 1 ,April fools day .

Quite appropriate .

Billions to die at Armageddon?

by BoogerMan in

not according to this verse:.

(mark 3:28, 29) truly i say to you that all things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter what sins they commit and what blasphemies they speak.

but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever but is guilty of everlasting sin.”.

smiddy3

Millions of Jehovah`s Witnesses love the thought that billions of people are going to die at Har-Mageddon just as they did in the flood of Noah`s day,

They think they are going to walk into their mansions that they left behind ,not thinking about who is going to provide the necessary utilities to keep them functioning ,without a workforce to maintain them.
