This alone was enough for me: Pope Nicholas V issued the papal bull Dum diversas on 18 June, 1452. It authorised King Alfonso V of Portugal to reduce any "Saracens (Muslims) and pagans and any other unbelievers to perpetual slavery. He issued another bull Romanus pontifex on January 5, 1455 also addressed to King Alfonso. It extended dominion over newly discovered lands to the Catholic nations of Europe. It sanctified the seizure of non-Christian lands, and encouraged the enslavement of native, non-Christian peoples throughout the World: "We, weighing all and singular the premises with due meditation, and noting that since we had formerly by other letters of ours granted among other things free and ample faculty to the aforesaid King Alfonso -- to invade, search out, capture, vanquish, and subdue all Saracens and pagans whatsoever, and other enemies of Christ wheresoever placed, and the kingdoms, dukedoms, principalities, dominions, possessions, and all movable and immovable goods whatsoever held and possessed by them and to reduce their persons to perpetual slavery, and to apply and appropriate to himself and his successors the kingdoms, dukedoms, counties, principalities, dominions, possessions, and goods, and to convert them to his and their use and profit -- by having secured the said faculty, the said King Alfonso, or, by his authority, the aforesaid infante, justly and lawfully has acquired and possessed, and doth possess, these islands, lands, harbors, and seas, and they do of right belong and pertain to the said King Alfonso and his successors."

Can an unbaptised publisher marry?
Evacuated replied to Jack Ryan's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
Can an unbaptised publisher marry? (asked by @Jay Witness,) Yes. 1Tim.4:1-3: "teachings of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, whose conscience is seared as with a branding iron. They forbid marriage" -
Rev 16:21 "Then great hailstones, each about the weight of a talent, fell from heaven on the people, and the people blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, for the plague was unusually great." Jehovah has used hail illustratively in connection with executional forces "hailing" down his judgement on opposers. Isaiah 28:2 (Assyrians), 28:17 (Babylonians). This has been considered to likely provide a backdrop to understanding the unusually heavy hail decribed at Rev 16:21 in a figurative way. It has been explained as referring to weighty judgement messages, notifying mankind of Jehovah's impending destruction of the system of things. Literal hailstorms as experienced during the 10 plagues, have not been ruled out either. And of course, the destruction of false religion by political powers will be a heavy experience for those of rebellious mankind at the time of this prophetic "plague of hail."
