His whole premise was, "watch out for those tricky apostates and their deceptive ways," but then he makes this defense of the "two witness rule" and conveniently leaves out any mention of child abuse. What he really is means: "We will always allow children to be at risk to predators".

• Have access to the phone numbers of friends, both near and far. • Make and rehearse an escape plan. Know the nearest exits in your building, as well as the emergency plan of your children’s school. Set up family meeting places—such as a school or a library—one nearby and another outside your neighborhood. Authorities recommend that you practice walking with your family to those meeting points. • Plan to help others, including the elderly and the infirm. During—Act Quickly “When fire broke out, most people didn’t panic—they delayed,” relates Joshua, quoted at the outset. “Some turned off a computer or filled a water bottle.

The Trinity and Bible Proofs that Jesus Christ is God 1. Matthew 28:17-20 “they worshipped him”, “All power is given to me”, “I am with you always” and “baptizing them in the name (one God) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” = Trinity. 2. In Matthew 3:1-3, Jesus Christ fulfils Isaiah 40:3 to ‘Prepare the way of Jehovah’ and our God. 3. John 1:1 “the word was God” (KJV, NIV), not ‘a god’ (NWT). a) Isaiah 44:8 ‘Is there a God beside me?’ b) The absence of the article before “theos” (God) identifies “word” as the subject (Colwell’s rule)Ans855 ‘The subject is identified by the article (ho logos) and the predicate (theos) without it.’ AT…

I enjoyed loved this Scripture and comment today ☺️ Love . . . does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests.—1 Cor. 13:4, 5. God’s people work hard to apply the Bible’s admonition: “Deaden, therefore, your body members that are on the earth as respects sexual immorality, uncleanness, uncontrolled sexual passion.” (Col. 3:2, 5) We would not want to make it difficult for fellow believers to heed that counsel. Brothers and sisters who have given up a sexually loose lifestyle may still be fighting sinful leanings. (1 Cor. 6:9, 10) We would not want to make their fight harder, would we? When we are around our spiritual brothers and sisters, our man…

1) When does blood cease to be blood? According to WT's interpretation blood stops, ceases being blood if it is divided into smaller portions, so-called fractions. WT believes (according to some medical science research) that there are 4 major parts, components of which the blood consists. This are: ... four primary blood components—red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma. (source: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1102008086) WT teaches its believers that it is unacceptable (under threat of excommunication) to take blood and any of these 4 major blood components. But a personal decision of a JW member is permissible if accepts some of the fractions …

We will recognize the man of lawlessness? "He stands in opposition and exalts himself above all that is called" god "or object of reverence, so that he sits in the temple of God, showing publicly that you are a god" - 2 Thessalonians 2: 4 Â We are searching the scriptures carefully? Â The title of the article might seem strange. We all know, in fact, that the man of lawlessness is the apostate Christendom, that is, all those who have taught lies about the nature and teachings of Jesus Christ. Obviously this also includes those, individuals or groups, who do not call themselves religious but to some extent spread lies …

Wouldn't Jesus throw out the "money changers"? How is this allowed? Yet we aren't allowed to even leave bags of produce outside the front doors for others who want/need them? They don't allow members of the congregation to give away excess home-grown produce at the Kingdom Hall but they have allowed commercial banks to set up?

From the final chapter of Tom Irregardless and Me, the chapter in which I try to tie up many loose ends, I threw in this little snippet: "Brother Lett gave a talk in the Ministry School and was given a ‘WÂ’ (work) for gestures. Surely if he applies himself he can learn to be more expressive!” It is almost like what they said about Jesus, though not with the same degree of admiration: “Never has another man spoken like this.” As one brother put it: "Let no one ever think that Jehovah's organization uses paid actors.” Witnesses love this guy. He KNOWS he is nutty and he builds upon it as a strength rather get all bashful over it. If I had any doubt about tha…

Western Mail (Wales, UK), Tuesday, November 6, 2018 - FRONT PAGE An elder member of a Jehovah’s Witness congregation subjected a girl to years of sexual abuse, a court has heard. Thomas Brian Jenkins, 74, appeared at Merthyr Crown Court on Monday charged with 20 counts of indecent assault against a girl in the 1970s. The alleged abuse began when the girl was 12 years old and continued until she was 14. Jenkins, of Landor Road, Redditch, Worcestershire, denies indecently assaulting the girl by touching her genitals on “dozens of occasions". Opening the case for the prosecution, Timothy Evans said the abuse began shortly after the girl moved to a vi…

Many people wish, want to know what is, how looks Context about some issue. That is because of reason to be able to understand more and better some issue, and if they have to make some decision about to be sure they will make good choice. Here is example how WT "scribes" manipulates with Context !!!!!! Reasoning from the Scriptures, page 89, Cross; The Imperial Bible-Dictionary acknowledges this, saying: “The Greek word for cross, [stau·rosʹ], properly signified a stake, an upright pole, or piece of paling, on which anything might be hung, or which might be used in impaling [fencing in] a piece of ground. . . . Even amongst the Romans the crux(from which …

Kimoto, who was a missionary for the Jehovah's Witnesses, was found dead on Sunday in the building and her companion, Chie Morosawa, 28, also a missionary was found next to her body. "There are obvious signs of extreme violence, the largest amount of blood was found where women apparently rested," explained one researcher who did not identify himself. Their objective to preach motivated both to travel from Japan and work in communities of both municipalities of Petén, where according to residents, the two missionaries made an effort to talk about God and motivated young people to get involved in positive activities. Prosecutors from the Public Ministry (M…
