  When the German chancellor Ursula van der Leide says that the Nuremburg Code must be abolished - does that tell you anything?  It tells me that the worst government ever on earth is about to take over the planet and that the human suffering will be worse than we imagined.

Can you explain, why worldly matters should be a grave concern to a Christian?

It appears that non-agenda driven reading comprehension is NOT one of Dmitar's primary attributes.

After all ... World War II the Holocaust was just a minor inconvenience that irritated some dissatisfied Jews.

Many things that are labeled "politics" by the naive and ignorant are merely an above average sense of situational awareness of what is going on around you, and having an opinion about the wisdom or folly of the madness that has replaced common sense.

Whether it is the daily news of national events, or strategic geopolitical awareness, if you are a competent observer, even though you have no influence whatsoever, you will be labeled a "political person".  Unless you shut up and stifle yourself.

When you shut up and stifle yourself you become a dry and humorless person.

Think I am kidding?

Try this on for size:

"What's the difference between the Covid shots, and Kyle Rittenhouse?

Answer: " Kyle's shots were effective!"

Get it?

Of course not.

All this took place in the last quarter of 1941, leading one to expect Armageddon before the end of the year .….. and then there was that large Sunday morning multiple boat accident on the island of Oahu, December 7, 1941.

Coincidence?

Used cardboard boxes are bought and sold by weight ... we buy em dry, hose em down, and sell em.

As a two-dimensional cartoon dog, I am not saved, but thanks to "Pudgycoin", which has massive global investments in wet cardboard boxes, I am well invested.

You are conflating two different things, based on your AGENDA, which makes your logic and reasoning faulty ... and just plain wrong. A common problem growing worse every day among the general population.

In a war, if you knew that the enemy was targeting your friend, wouldn’t you tell that friend it was time to get the heck out of the line of fire?

This is the last sentence you posted that was even reasonable, but I have found that if people I care about are in the line of fire, and I yell "DUCK", they will invariably stand up and look around for a duck.

Lets say there are 8 million JWs in a world of say 8 Billion people. The global birth rate is expanding, and the number of JWs are decreasing. But that is not the point, and your points really have no points because they are MERELY the result of your fantasy driven obsession .... trying to make anything agree with your perspective on who the "Annointed" really are.

You ask, in a war, if you knew that the enemy was targeting your friend, wouldn’t you tell that friend it was time to get the heck out of the line of fire?

Not really .... there is absolutely no point to it, none whatsoever.

At Armageddon, whatever the means, and however it happens , say, oh .... global thermonuclear war with the Holy ones selected by God, perhaps individually protected by an individual force field .... the only thing I would do, if I could, is turn to whoever is beside me, and offer them a beer, and take out my iPhone 7 plus, and get some photos.

.... or perhaps instantaneously evaporate into 5 million degree gasses, beer, iPhone and all.

Whatever is the case ..... soon enough we will ALL know for sure ... and there is NOTHING we can do to change it, speed it up, slow it down, avoid it, or get into the fray.

....... patience Grasshopper!

If Jehovah can protect three faithful Hebrew men in a raging blast furnace at perhaps 1800 degrees, it serves as a good example of angelic protection FOR INDIVIDUALS, as hydrogen bombs abound.

In the parlance of Star Trek "Shields are holding at 100%".

Let's get right down to the REAL nitty-gritty .... where the rubber meets the road.

SCENARIO NO. 1:

Someone with an I.Q. not much higher than a Cocker Spaniel with a headache, let's call him T'MOOG, lives in the outback of Australia, eating termites, and standing on one leg to sleep at night. He has no concept of the Biblical Reference of Gog, Magog, or even of a Cocker Spaniel dog, Los Angeles Smog, or Kermit the Frog.

SCENARIO NO. 2:

Someone with an I.Q. in excess of 200 has studied Biblical Prophesy his whole adult life, let's call him ABNER EASTWOOD, and is one of only 23 people on Earth that has, or has ever understood completely what Jehovah has in mind .... including contingencies, ramifications, and subtle nuances in great detail.

He knows absolutely  everything there is to know about everything there is to know about Gog of Magog.

The fact remains that neither T'MOOG, or ABNER EASTWOOD can do Anything about any of it.

Nothing whatsoever.

Zip, Zero, Nada, Goose Eggs.

Meanwhile, ABNER is an unsufferable bore who beats others over their head with what he knows, and they care not at all, and is a truly miserable person. He has no joy in what he knows, as he is well aware THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO WITH THAT INFORMATION.

... and T'MOOG, who leads a very hard life, wakes up one morning, holding on to his spear, and puts both feet in the dirt beneath his bare feet, and like the Cocker Spaniel, looks out at the new day and realizes he is completely happy.

That's the problem when you get your water from a neck O' the woods ... of course if you have jugs of living water, it should be tested to see what's living in it.   Could be parasites, amoebas, tapeworms, or even dead guppies or other small fish. Or worse ... pieces of dead guppies or other dead insects.

...Like Gilda Radner used to say, as Rosanne Rosanadana, "If f it's not one thing ... it's another. .... It's always something!".

Yeah ..... It's always somethin'.

Water is essential for all living things. From the tiniest molecules to the vast oceans, see how water is masterfully interwoven into the fabric of life.

When you stand on the beach and look out at the vast oceans of Earth, we should appreciate that we can just turn a valve in our kitchen and get wonderful, clean water!

Water supports all life on Earth,

.... and when you look out at that vast ocean ... remember that that is only the top.

Yes, I would be surprised.

..... surprise me!

I am truly impressed by the time it must take to compose these bible book length epistles.

I wish I had the time to reply, point by point .... but I do not.

.... and like Witness, his/her long tomes, and my long replies would not be any influence whatsoever on anyone .... and we have a decade of Archive commentary ... tens of thousands of comments ....  to abundantly confirm that point.

I suspect that each and every one here, addicted to such things, on our death beds ... perhaps surrounded by people we are about to forever leave behind, will look up, and with tears in their eyes, and tears in our eyes, with our last breath before the blackness closes in forever, and we can move no more, will raise our feeble fingers and attempt to check our e-mail.

At least you will get free dental care, after they knock out your teeth ....

If I lose, I will pay you in Pudgycoin!, the Digital Currency preferred by the two-dimensional.

If you lose, as you are three dimensional,  U.S. Dollars will be just fine!

I present as evidence.... my photo.

.... and I am sure, BR,  that EVERYBODY ..... without a single exception, will get what they deserve at Armageddon.

But Jehovah is not going to do it because your opinions were slighted on this forum.

As usual BroRando, you have COMPLETELY misunderstood what I said .... BECAUSE ... you never read anything in context, and it appears you are completely unfamiliar with the Society's publication "The Divine Name".  THAT was the context you ignored.

When that happens you draw conclusions that get MORE wrong as the conversation goes on, as the error is not just additive, but multiplied.

.... please go back and re-read what I, and Witness  actually said, instead of your current screwed up perception of what we actually did say.

That is why in the 7th grade they used to teach how to diagram sentences .... a highly valuable tool for determining what a statement is REALLY saying.

Because you got what Witness' statement completely wrong, I am a white Supremacist?

Gimme a break!

( an aside to the 4th wall: Of the 9 billion people on this Earth, not a single one is equal to anyone else ... and that's a fact!)

Whether someone accepts or denies the Holocaust is COMPLETELY irrelevant to accepting or denying the letter J, or other silly premises.

You know, I am just a cartoon dog, two dimensional, but your comment BroRando, is a clear example of a one dimensional comment that has absolutely ZERO relevance to what Witness mentioned in the "Divine Name" brochure.

You may as well have stated "Entrails in the middle of the highway can't speak!".

• LESSONS FOR TODAY ....

  16. Who today are represented by (a) Jerusalem’s citizens (b) “the Assyrian” (c) the seven shepherds and eight dukes?

  ¹⁶ .... (2) When “the Assyrian” attacks, the elders must be absolutely convinced that Jehovah will deliver us. (3) 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 ....

   

.....

I understand that the french word Carburetor (as in automobile fuel supply device) is a word when translated into English means "Don't mess with it!".

...and the Klingon word for "root beer" is pronounced "A&W".
