"and this good news of the kingdom will.

be preached in all the inhabited earth for a. witness to all the nations; and then the end.

bible are more familiar to jehovah's witnesses than the.

The short answer is NO. the long answer is again NO ,

They mainly have poached off of the Missionary`s of Christendom who have laid down the groundwork these past 2000 years in parts of the world where THEY have made inroads..

In what we call Christian nations today.

That is by far the majority of where their members have come from . And any converts that did come from a non christian background was converted in a christian country .

How much of mainland China have they witnessed to ?

How much of the nation of Pakistan have they witnessed to ? Saudi Arabia ? the land of India ? Afghanistan ? etc .

Any pro Muslim nation ? etc ?

NONE

Just to name a few examples .

So no, they have not fulfilled the scripture of matt.24 : 14

Will you attend the Memorial 2020 ? - Covid-19 (Coronavirus)

by bats in the belfry in

... or rather listen to the advice on their jw news website:.

show love to others.

while we all know the importance of attending christian meetings and participating in the public ministry, if you are sick, it is best to stay home to avoid infecting others.

I wonder what the memorial attendance will be like in Italy or what alternatives to the meeting will they come up with ?

12 hours ago someone resurrected a post by marvin shilmer from years ago.

it was then that i realized that i haven't seen a post from him for a while.

a check shows it's been 4 years.

I thought pete`s post was funny .I miss Marvin I appreciated his Jewish slant on topics christian .

To put it another way surely the Jews would have a much better understanding of writings by Jews than gentiles would ? wouldn`t they ?

Samson and Delilah...A Hollywood movie written in Bible times

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

written and produced by bible writers...you can't make this up!.

who needs hollywood scriptwriters when you already have a bible story that has drama, suspense, and unbelievable twists and turns?

imagine the story of a man who visits prostitutes, kills a 1,000 man army with a skull bone, kills a lion with his bare hands, loses his strength by getting a haircut, gets his eyes gouged out, works at a grain mill and tears down columns with his bare hands, killing himself and the philistines!

What about samson capturing 300 foxes ,tying their tales together setting them alight to burn down the fields of the Philistines ?

Of course the magician Jehovah just led the foxes to Samson just as he led all of the beasts of the field to Noah .

The famous liars

by days of future passed in

i was talking with my sister and the subject of the wt using rahab as an exemplary example of theocratic warfare which is of course, lying.

when the wt uses her, they fail to highlight the fact that she was a temple prostitute and an unbeliever when she "saved" the spies.. i said you know, the wt doesn't use the most famous liar as an example.

that would be peter of course.

Can someone set me straight ? What lie did Satan make in Genesis?

God told Adam in the day he ate of the fruit that he wasn`t allowed to eat he would surely die, right ?

Adam surely would have told Eve this restriction not to eat of the fruit also. right?

Satan told Eve that she would not die in the day she ate of the fruit , and she didn`t die in that day nor did Adam right?

Satan also went on to tell Eve her eyes would be open and she would know good and bad just like God ,and she did come to know good and bad just like God and so did Adam.

So how is it that Satan is a liar and the Father of the lie from this genesis account ?

Without doing scriptual gymnastics ?

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

I would like to see a comparative map of a bad flu epidemic in the the world against this Corona virus.with how many infected and how many deaths have occured .

I think this Covid-19 scare is blown way out of proportion to the actual threat to life that it poses .

jehovah’s witnesses can donate blood.

today i added a new article to my blog that answers the question of whether watchtower doctrine forbids jehovah’s witnesses from going to their community blood bank and donating some of their blood to help replace all the products from blood accepted on a daily basis by the community of jehovah’s witnesses.. .

my article is titled jehovah’s witnesses can donate blood and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2012/03/jehovahs-witnesses-can-donate-blood.html.

If its not violating any copyright laws or anything is there anybody out their who could reproduce this letter mentioned by Cjackson of Cliff Roche`s letter ?

However :

you will be shocked (maybe, lol) when you read their hypocritical response. Had I known the letter would become famous among ex Witnesses, I would have kept a copy.

Cjackson,is the reply also contained in the book you mention ,however you just didn`t keep the letter/reply yourself. correct ?

What amazes and amuses me about this Corona -virus scare is in the supermarket I attended yesterday ,shelves of everyday items foods ,meat and whatnots ,the stocks were pretty normal ,nothing to see here ,however when I got to the aisle where the toilet paper used to be there was virtually none ?Whats this pre-occupation with toilet paper ?

The newspapers are reporting the same craziness that seems to have gripped the Country here in australia ?
