zambia: jehovah's witnesses deserve pat on the back .
times of zambia, august 28, 2015. by alfred mlenga.
Critics may be quick to jump to the unfair if not irrational conclusion that Witnesses are probably doing this to swell their ranks in the face of increased competition from other religious organizations.
I fully agree with this statement...Please continue.
But I am focusing on the subject of kingdom halls because it seems to a new development by the Witnesses who were seen as trouble or rubble-rousers by the colonialists.
Alfred, Alfred, Alfred...A political party leader in Zambia just asked the for the Watchtower organization to be banned. So its not just the imperialist swines that do this you know.
"National Revolution Party leader Cosmo Mumba has appealed to the Register of Societies to force Jehovah Witnesses to start singing the national anthem and participate in national elections or be banned." - Lusaka times June 4, 2015 (courtesy Orphancrow)
I had an uncle, a staunch Witness, who would not allow anyone to use the sign of the Cross
Easily explained, Jehovah's Witnesses are actually spiritual vampires. They suck the marrow, spontaneity and life out of new converts.
In conclusion Alfred, I guess you're right, they're clean and tidy.
i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.
here is the email: .
---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.
Hi Millie,
"At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. ALL OF US MUST BE READY TO OBEY ANY INSTRUCTIONS WE MAY RECEIVE, WHETHER THESE APPEAR SOUND FROM A STRATEGIC OR HUMAN STANDPOINT OR NOT. (4) Now is the time for any who may be putting their trust in secular education, material things, or human institutions to adjust their thinking. The elders must stand ready to help any who may now be wavering in their faith."
The Governing body knew very well...
the pope stated at his un address that, "if it wasn't for the un's work on the world's conflicts, the world would be alot worse".
i just wonder how that statement will be taken in jw land.
Religion and Politics, should they mix?
I thought that was what a Jehovist theocracy meant: A one party state which you had to worship.
the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.
the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.
my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.
The stress now is on getting as many people in the truth as possible before the end!
The end for whom?

Speeches by federal employees are in the public domain...Fair use does not allow [reproduction] in whole without the express permission
It all sounds reasonable. In any case the Watchtower did not decide to pursue the counter claims. One was done by Dustin [LuciousVBogeyman] and he actually made a video of him doing the counter claim.The wtbts of Pennsylvania probably felt it was not worth pursuing as they had accomplished the removal of most of the videos in any case.
i keep hearing this in threads.....
What about fair use? This was not done without attribution and was primarily focused on news worthiness and education. Two YouTube users actually filed counter claims on the above basis and the wtbts did not follow up with legal action. Just for interest sake, wouldn't it be like the US president filing a DMCA for a transcript of the state of the union address?
i keep hearing this in threads.....
The weird thing is they claimed copyright infringement on the transcript of a public talk.
Let me repeat: ...transcript of a PUBLIC talk.
The wtbts really did not want the overlapping generation being announced by anyone other than an official representative from a JW convention podium.
