Not exactly, this is far different although wearing a mask of the past. The UN does have some involvement, do you not recall what they tried to do regarding Charlottesville? Just because you do not see the United Nations, do not be fooled, for they are like that of the unknown and dangerous man who you spot in the ally, unpredictable, and very subtle with their moves. It is also obvious when you have the rights and freedoms as is with the amendments being shifted in turn of more authoritarian measures.

The UN and all it's branches wants this stuff so they can put their hands and make some change and or action. There will never be a Normal after this when you have armed protesters vs. an armed house owner, enemies into friends, friends into enemies type situation.

Remember - There is a faction that has a conquest for peace, and the other for security.

I am very adamant about this stuff, and among all things and I view it strongly.

That being said, these riots is no longer about the death of Floyd, for it has left that train a long time ago as the silly MSM toots the blow horn of racisim to put more logs into the fire.

 

The National Guard are put pieces on the chess board, as is with the US military and the economical global mafia as the truthers call it.

Ah, I see, and I get it, the democrats are practicing socialism to see how it goes. I'm not familiar with the UN and Charlottesville connection...please inform me.

The riots will calm down in a few days. And over here in the United States, the UN wouldn't be allowed to come in to try to restore order. We have the National Guard for that.

We know things are happening when they ban twinkies.

My church opened it's doors yesterday for services, and no one stopped the services. There are supposed to be other prophecies to happen before this prophecy comes to fruition.

Pure Flix? Wasn't that a modern adaptation?

It is on Pureflix and Netflix. It is about a Christian turned atheist college professor who orders his philosophy class to write a paper and title-ing it God is Dead. One college student refuses to do that so is ordered by the professor to prove God is not dead or fail the class.  It's more of a philosophical/theological movie than a bible based movie.

I just curious of your opinions. Seeing as how there is becoming a great divide of opinions among Jehovah's Witnesses regarding the actions of the governing body do you see a possible future where there will be another splinter group of jw's coming up with their own organization. Kind of like when Russel split off from the 7th day, then the jw's split off from the bible students, Armstrong split off from the jw's and got his own following, etc....?

 @Space Merchant

i.e. said claim of yours stated that they said Armageddon would happen on 1975, but there was no claim made by them to suggest such, anywhere.

 

could see was a short time ahead in which to finish the work assigned to them." 

Watchtower 1968 Aug 15 p.494 Why Are You Looking Forward to 1975?

"1975 will mark the end of 6,000 years of human history"

That's a pretty straight forward statement indeed.

I believe I need to share Christian music. Feel free to share JW music as well.

Another good movie is God's not Dead.

I think if you guys want to see changes, it would take several million signatures from all countries you are located in, or a massive letter writing campaign like you  did with Russia.

Kudos once again to this loving group of people in this religion. A couple stopped by to check in on my mom. I'll forgive that they didn't care about me or anyone else in the house, but at least they have a communication system to check in on the jw elderly.

In good times, and bad times, in times easy and times hard, I have relied on the JW-Archive as a sounding board for many things, and appreciate the forbearance when I have ranted and raved about all sorts of things, even from the Librarian, who often deleted my posts, with cause.

I have come to the conclusion that logic and reason is not the end-all that I had aspired to, and that all things being considered, it would have been better for me to be "Brother Watchtower", than the man I have become.

I am 73 years old, and I probably do not have time to change .... realistically, but for 14 billion years I did not exist, and I don't remember it bothering me any.

My Wife Susan, and my sons and daughter will fulfill whatever unfulfilled dreams I had, as the stars I could reach ... were just starfish on the beach.

With whatever time I have left, it is going to be my life's challenge, so I bid each of you so long, and hope you stay closer to Jehovah than I did. 

....and like Forest Gump said "... and that's all I am going to say about that."

Goodby.

 

Sounds like 'I've got cancer and got a few days to live, so you all have fun playing stress games, I'm gonna kick back  and relax and fall asleep, and come what may it comes. In your honor I would like to end our relationship with.....

Listened to several of his lectures years ago, am recently revisiting his lectures, just though I would share, I think even JW's might enjoy his braininess.

That's nice that everything turned out ok and he didn't have to murder his wife.

Quote "as is with Witness and the others, whom as a collective, do not understand a thing. "

Someone else it seems that has a need to put people into one group. 

Quote "but never can it be an excuse to assume that because one person did something, everyone else is the same "

The Governing Body of CCJW say they are the Faithful and Discreet Slave. So the 8 men act as one. They work together, they make the rules for CCJW, they are responsible for Watchtower material. They are not individuals, they are a 'body'.  Therefor they are jointly responsible. 

 

They are an octinity:)

My jw mom downloaded jw.org, and since then she has had nothing but problems.  Her password changes all the time, even though she never changed her password, but jw.org tells her she needs to change her password just to get into her computer. My brother and I are jumping through hoops to get her reconnected via loop. Has the governing body  found a way to hijack people...they do after all pay millions to lawyers, why not IT techs. Is my jw mom a victim of WTBTS? And they are asking for donations. Or do you know if someone is using the jw website to con people?

It's a great movie, but it does get pretty realistically brutal though, gotta have a strong stomach.

What did you think of The Passion of Christ?

Here in the U.S. sons and daughters are doing the same thing. What has been really fun is kids who cannot have a birthday party, we have been doing party parades as a bunch of cars drive by the birthday child, it brings so much joy to the child's heart.

I noticed a lot of other religions were not mentioned either, so your not the only ones not mentioned. But I'm afraid your trying to cry PERSECUTION because if you do a search, this is what comes up.....https://religionnews.com/?s=Jehovahs+Witnesses

This is what I think of when flying on the wing of an eagle.

My mother who is up there in age...70's. Their congregation decided to stop meetings at the kingdom hall and forgo their assembly. The local congregation is taking steps to minimize socialization and are doing their meetings via zoom and facebook, etc.  I want to thank the brother of my mother for providing her with a brand new I-pad...wish I could afford one...but I helped her get jw.org in it and facebook and zoom to the best of my abilities. At her age she finds it extremely important to stay connected. t her jw family. I am glad the governing body decided to let individual congregations do their stuff on line. Haters and anti jw's would have people think the opposite. I am glad the jws' are being responsible. I do however wish to pray for a long time friend of our family, who are jw's and medical guardians for my mother, they themselves actually have family members who are tested positive and are on life support due to this virus.

But what I don't want to see is an article in the watchtower that says they were the only ones doing this. Throwing all other religions under the bus, throwing us family members under the bus...then running over us over and over again.

Maybe someone smarter than me could put together a power point presentation on how this topic evolved from a discussion about a ludicrus power point presentation on a attempt to disprove God, evolving to a discussion about the insane theory of the overlapping generations, to the validity of the governing bodies words, value and worth..

To understand it correctly, you need to watch the following video.... from another generation.

 

I like the black and white version more.

Yeah I'm breaking my new years resolution, but what the heck. I hope you all are healthy and corona free.
