I cannot stand this woman. She is somewhat insane in several instances. If only you knew.....

@JOHN BUTLER Perhaps because the fact that they are not trying to be or emulate that of modern Christendom in the mainstream, they are bounded by such that is on par with a Nazareth Vow, something that cannot be broken, in conjunction with the commandments of the Christ which he gave.

There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE when it comes to the notion of Scripture. But the difference is very very little like a speck of dust to the modern English speaking man and or other. What? They didn't have anything fancy, that is for sure, unless you are the type to be a bit extra, like the leader of the Jews in that time and or rulers, lords, etc. Well that is the things of today in your regard. The time of the Christ and people of that age, things were different.

Well anyone with a strong lack of textual criticism and textual basis not only jarrs the eyes, but the mind. In this regard, you are can can be used as an example fairly easily when ignorance of Scriptural forms and grammar is painfully present. You said it best regarding Spiritual Wisdom, perhaps take your own advice and put this into application.

Probably because [A] You are in a glossary section for "J" and This is a glossary, judging by the link you posted. Also it the glossary you linked sights biblical and non-biblical terms, which isn't too different from other Christian glossaries out there.

Looks like someone is trying to stir someone's beans here.

A young one has brought this to my attention, will post it here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/46831/former-journalist-wanted-lure-christians-home-ashe-schow Note: Some, like the msm, tend to show the face of and or would be murderers, this is the only quick source I found that does not appease wicked persons seeking and or wanting fame.

Don't think you will be getting any of that. Not even a refund on lost time. Aside from that, such videos are common whereas any can said something word of mouth and a flock of people will automatically believe it because they share the same disdain for someone or something. There is stuff out there that tend to like us Unitarians to lizards or gov't sleeper agents or something weird. Non religiously, there is videos and terms deemed outlandish.

Reminds me of a debate I saw that took place in the UK. Some guy was being ignorant of what he was being told regarding the Laws in the UK and about Theresa May. Despite being called out for his errors and mistakes, he does not check himself and continues to babble about. The other guy ended the debate swiftly with more undeniable facts and made a fool of the ignorant man who spoke nonsense, saying when it came to his [the ignorant guy] own country UK, he can't tell a sneaker from a dress shoe and a list of other things before the man fled after being proven wrong. It is a surprise that some people do not even take the time to at least understand the basic elementary stuff regarding the law.

@Outta Here There is one culprit that some would say is the pedophilia problem. The only problem is if it is making the nations money, pedophilia will continue to thrive on such regardless of how much damage it has and will cause. That being said, a lot of people have brought forth positivist on what needs to be done in terms of solutions. Which further proves dealing with pedophilia, there is an Excalibur sword to prevent most incidents from happening vs. the warpath folk. The irony of it all is that there are those who claim to be against pedophilia, but "laugh" at said solutions.

His underwear? What? I do hope you mean his undergarments and not latter being literal. Do not make that same mistake Butler did. That being said, Jesus did in order teach humility to his disciples. Such a thing that he has done shocked them, for a task was done by a servant/slave, but it was Jesus, the one of whom they followed, did the washing.

Exactly, however, going about following what the Scriptures teaches and not misusing it you deemed before as negative. If the Bible tells them to put something into practice, clearly they wouldn't go around it. Restorationist would not be caught dead going around Scripture, and on the other side of the spectrum, you have people who make claim they do not follow Scripture, but when they do, it is a problem. Now that is a weak excuse. Children obey their parents. The Bible makes that clear, very clear in Ephesians and I believe Jesus had made some points himself. Preaching or doing missionary work does not cause suffering and mental and emotional harm, what does is how parents and or guardians go about things with their children. I find this remark of yours absurd because if you claim the Bible does not cause suffering, somehow missionary work and importance of the commission in which Jesus commanded is mentally harming children. Perhaps a word with the Christ would do you some justice, but you will be at the receiving end. Surely you are a parent. That being said, your remark doesn't define all Jehovah's Witnesses children, you base the experience perhaps in your church and it's area. But you just said before and alluded to them decreasing? Mental Gymnastics or willful ignorance? The facts outweighs the thoughts of the disdainful one. I even said it before, give it a few months, Christian minorities, especially Restorationist will increase. How do you know the areas such as these is uneducated? I found your source: https://www.quora.com/How-often-are-Jehovahs-Witnesses-successful-in-converting-people-when-they-go-door-to-door Mark also pointed out as to where, according to Mark's citation. Also you may want to look at the other comments besides focusing on a one person. That being said, you had the chance to use recent sources also, how not have you taken chance in this regard is quite obvious. You are pulling from a source that dates back to 2016 whereas they just got to 8.13 adherents. 2017 they bumped up to 8.24, 8.36 in 2018, in the same year around 8.45. Right out of the gate for 2019 they're at 8.58. You may want to get an update on said source instead of going back a few years to make claim to something recent. I'd like to add that with the internet and other forms of media, they have been able to minister to an even bigger number, more over, what they minister, others have taken said information and indirectly proclaim it to others, so that is and may be the explanation of their growth as a Christian minority. Another factor I'd like to day is that their Trinity believing counterparts have been making claim that they are exactly the same Restoration as JWs and prevent members from even speaking with them. Reasons why, they know how easily they can loose members to JWs because of the whole Trinitarianism teaching. Think of it as this way, this group are JWs who believe in the Trinity, claim to be exactly like JWs to prevent loose of members to a minority. A hint, they have like 19.8-20.7 followers.

@Jack Ryan tsk... tsk... tsk... If that was suppose to be a joke (a silly one at that), you've lost both my attention and care... Tet ou gate.

Did you not read your original comment, Butler? But your comments were more direct in the group making up numbers. You did the same thing a few months ago when the facts came from those who did the demographics regarding anything that is put in numeral form and or some form of statistic and or percentage. And your point? The number of adherents is the numerical count of those professing the faith. Some demographics take it a step further when it comes to sex, age, race, location, nationality etc. For example, I can say 34% of the United Kingdom supports Theresa May, while 66% do not support her. The demographics is focused on people who live in the United Kingdom, but if done in depth, for instance, 5% UK Caucasian/Black/Asian/Arab/etc. either supports or is against Theresa May, a bigger divide if they throw in Christians/Muslims/Atheists/other faiths into the mix as well as a percentage of folks who neither support/or is against. You once said by your word that you do not know, you do not judge. How are you so sure that this "many" are forced? Granted with how Christendom as been going as the years go by, determining on something that is baseless does not bring forth this "many" as you claim, granted, if you look into the statistics of the number of adherents. Actually, according to what I had been in discussion about during the Assasnge situation, some adherents do return and either become and or convert, your own experience does not define the multitude of others who are of that faith. They do this because like any event of this nature, they make arrangements. Even after their celebration, some of them continue to offer themselves in terms of riding the person to church and back. This is something ridiculously common in all faiths, mainly when it comes to people with limitations who rely on others of said community to go somewhere or to do something. The ability to help others regarding such may be alien to you, but not to anyone else, therefore, those who take up said responsibility, it is indeed on a regular basis, granted of how common this practice is towards aiding a fellow man. An example, in the mid-1980s, my cousin's girlfriend's father use to carried a handicap man on his back (piggyback ride as you call it) from one point to another, granted the aid the disabled man needed was within proximity of his home, he still carried the man around whenever he is needed, granted in those days in a country like that, there is an abundance of free time. He kept doing this on a regular basis until the disabled man grew very sickly and pass away just a year later. All in all, culture wise, the community was very close, such examples and stories were passed down to younger ones, who still live on the islands, and to those that moved away, sometimes uncles and aunts from the islands would visit and retell such events for several reasons, one of them to ensure that how this were have not ceased to nothing more than a broken mere memory, but rather, to pass on an example. But your involvement does not define the experience by others in Africa, in America, Asia, etc. You were most likely, obviously, secluded to one or two JW churches; your past comments you were totally ignorant and unaare of situations unfolding in another JW church with little information you had provided. That is, unless, somehow you cracked the code into being omnipresent somehow, being in all churches at once and knowing the experiences of others firsthand vs. being secluded to just a handful of folks in your dwelling place in the EU. Your remark is problematic when the demographics is before you, the same ones you deemed as lies when the evidence to such puts shame to your response then, and clearly now. Unless you got some Intel on a JW church or two that you've been in in the Congo or something, than you can speak, but you having been limited to but a few churches within the UK alone doesn't bear any fruit. So you have proof of this? OF every child in every JW church suffering? If that is the case, you may as well get them to burn any and every Bible there is, granted that is what people seem to be doing nowadays. A child who is Christian, yes they are taught by their parents at some point, but they can make the truth of the Bible their own by their decision as they get older. Your other statements is baseless because you negate all and everything to your own experience, as with a handful of others vs. those who made the Bible their own. There is but a few people who leave a religion, not in droves, but small pockets and handfuls. If you say many people leave that faith, why on God's green earth did they increase? Why are people going back even after their event? Clearly if you are going to say something, you have to back it up. I will tell you this: The Bible itself can make and break relationships, especially the more you read and find out what God's Word is all about. A few days ago, Easter Day, I made the truth known to many Christians, and best believe they were triggered and out for blood when the truth about Easter was talked about, others made this truth known to friends and family, and said truth caused a divide: Those for Jesus, and those of the other Jesus, who is but a mask and really Eostre. When a truth about the Bible is spoken, regardless of who made it known, it will always cause a divide, even among family, reasons why Jesus' word is to be taken seriously when it is often said a household can be divided. That being said, take your blame with the Bible, if it irks you this much if you think it commits to suffering.

For the the last several days was in in heavy discussion and debate with those spreading misinformation and conspiracy regarding this, (and those using a cartoon Jesus and spreading it as if it is the Anti-Christ, in conjunction with the black hole that was discovered - absolute madness) and even before that there has been quite a few church arson, as well as after it in and the suddenly religious attack on focus. In a time like this, vigilance is key and being careful is critical. That being said, hate crime and influence by persons in present and online is heavily being talked about.

Interesting. Let's just hope the one who uses said tool does not have shaking hands.

The thing is some people afraid of statistics. This is the case I make with those of mainstream Christendom, for they are afraid of what the demographics show concerning them. They would also go as far as to pain and erroneous picture on Christian minorities. That being said, if one person says someone's adherents is on a rapid decline and the other says it has increased, with prove to make it up, who is truly in slander? Clearly, someone who swims about in the sea of his or her own hypocrisy. Other than that, these people are everywhere, all of them of different cultures, hence the different attire (modest). I do not see how blind people get if they cannot see this for themselves.

I'm going by religious statistic as I had before because you claim the latter was committing slander in their numbers. There is also many sources that even state the same thing, so those numbers are indeed true. If you lack spiritual wisdom, how are you so sure? Because last I was here before the whole Assange situation, you said you are seeking truth, at least be reasonable and honest. Moreover, the word "adherents" was coined by said source: The group reports a worldwide membership of approximately 8.58 million adherents involved in evangelism and an annual Memorial attendance of over 20 million. I recall telling you in your response that the numbers are only going up whereas you said it was going down, which was false. There you go slandering again. Can you prove that the numbers were made up if one and several other sources says otherwise? The pews website was not made by children, nor was Wikipedia, nor was other Christian statistics websites. I am not talking about JWs bringing up the numbers, I am, and my sources re of those who actually count statistics in adherents/members numbers of all Christian denominations, if fact, all rebellious denominations. Also it is called Demographics Definition - statistical data relating to the population and particular groups within it. So where does that leave the pews and other sources when coming up with the numbers of religious demographics of said faith? They do the same thing with us Unitarians, although they bunch us all together, they also segregate the denominations and show the numbers. How is this alien to you, Butler? The irrelevancy is quite jarring to the eyes.Especially when the evidence is before us in this sense. Those who do the demographics, allow me to show you of what you ignored in the past, at least back then, even JTR gets it. Here is an example: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/04/05/christians-remain-worlds-largest-religious-group-but-they-are-declining-in-europe/ Pretty sure the website(s) were not founded by 3 year olds, show some respect.... Also Ward Cunningham is 69, born in 1949, he isn't 3 either... https://www.pewresearch.org/about/ It is not about enticement. You made a claim and I'll quote you: "Wow are they lowering the standards as they are rapidly losing members ? " This is slander because people who do the statistics says otherwise, therefore, you committed slander to your very teeth. Numbers do mean something because numbers brings forth truth to claim, as is in this example regarding erroneous claims on your part. I assume that taking in wisdom has been "thrown out the window" in this sense concerning you. Unwell? I concur, this is coming from the man who confuse actions of men with clothing yet wears said clothing of what he made claims against, thus spinning the wheel of hypocrisy. Check thyself and your own comments because it is not by means of your unwellness that shows here, but your ignorance. That being said, when more important matters I was in discussion of regarding critical issues and religious attacks and a list of other things, here we see you still haven't changed one bit. I linked to you before the pews website, I suggest giving it a look this time. I'll say it again to you, Butler - Open your eyes because you continue to keep them shut.

Satan the Devil, God's Adversary, and the resister, the slander, he will be made no more when the time comes, and all who continue to side with him. God will make sure no enemy roam about, be it man or spirit, for all such will be made no more, wiped away from existence by means of destruction prepared for them.

This has kept me in quite a few discussions and debates in the last couple of days, coupled with the events taking place in the religious space. As someone who is a truther, something bad will happen. They had spoken slander of this man since the day of his arrest on the MSM, for the disdain and hate is there.

That's kind of a baseless question. The blood that flows in your body is in you, your own blood. The context of what is said in the Bible is to abstain from blood be it from living things, i.e. man or beast, in addition, blood is life. It should not be consumed and or anything that allows such to be part of you in any way. In this sense, one must not take in blood, likewise to some of the religious, even the non-religious follows this regarding certain folks. The people from the country of one of my parents would not give or receive because they take abstaining from blood very seriously for cultural reasons, and if religious, religious reasons, and a list of other things. That being said, the only blood that is of high importance is that of the Lord, and what it signifies.

As of last time of which I had posted the number of adherents, they've went from 8.45 adherents to 8.58 million adherents. So slander about adherent numbers is of your own folly. At this point he may as well suggest people to where nothing but their undergarments, but a plot twist to this situation, this he may be against too because clothing suddenly makes one a villain of some sort.

Regarding child abuse, it is very common that someone of the household is the culprit in this case. Then again, most cases it is as such.

@James Thomas Rook Jr. Probably perhaps the Second Coming of Christ to rid the world of all that is bad has not started yet? Satan, his demons and all that pertains to him still exist. You still have people suffering and dying on the earth and so forth whereas the Bible tells you that God, by means of sending his chosen one, Christ Jesus, will rid the world of such things. It will come to a point whereas you seek all around you and no trace of badness will be on the face of the earth. That being said, the concept here of which you process is Jesus' Kingship itself. As some would say, Jesus is just getting ready to come in the name of his father, therefore God's people, who are God fearing and students of the teacher, are waiting for that time to come. Reasons why you have people verily, verily vigilant and enduring in the End Time Tribulations.

@Srecko Sostar Your next problem is the fact that such practices is drawn from the Bible itself. How can you correlate such with what you have said here? For I believe last time you confused yourself without anyone stating a word.
