Strecko - Many of your statements are not reality because you do not have the accurate history of what happened and it is pulled out of context. For example: A muslim does not think it is absurd that Ishmael and Abraham were in Mecca and built Mecca. I agree with this idea of yours:- BUT if that Muslim wants to know the TRUTH he will not just be satisfied with what he learnt from his own religion. He will test it for truth. He will go and look at old maps and he will see that Mecca did not exist in 1943 BCE when Abraham was alive. In fact Mecca is not found on any of the Roman maps until AFTER 150 CE. Also - Ishmael is mentioned in the Bible as living in Paran which is not far from Midian (where Midian lived) - both places are almost 1000 miles away from Mecca. Mecca was a wilderness until 150 CE when forefathers of Mohammad came from Yemen and started to build this city. In fact the daughter of Ishmael married into Esau's family and he lived close enough to Abraham so he could attend his funeral when his father died...... They had funeral within one day. So he lived close enough to go the funeral with Isaac. So this proves that Islam is not a Abrahamic religion because it was not started by Abraham but it was pagan religion before Mohammad. The sirah (life of Mohammad) confirms this. There was 360 idols in the Kaaba and Mohammad made the god of his tribe the only God and broke all the other gods. Mohammad thought the Jews would accept him if he said he was a prophet in line of Ishmael - but they did not and he killed them. When Gideon defended Israel in war against Midian and Ishmael - they took all the gold ornaments from their camels and it was crescent moons. The area where Ishmael was living was well known for moon worship. So his religion was not islam. I can do the same with many religions - I can look at what they say and what is the truth. I left my religion I had before because I investigated to see if it was teaching the truth according to bible and also looking at their historic traditions.... to see if it is accurate. This way one can find the truth. We honor Jehovah's name but we do not put to death anyone who violates the name. When Jesus came to the earth he set a new example for us - to teach other people the name of God. If other people blaspheme the name of the God of the bible (which many are doing now) we do nothing to them because we are now under the law of Christ. We are no longer under the law of Moses.... So we wait for God to bring judgment on them. We do not stone any longer...... so the context of what you are reading is very important. Jesus gave us Principals not laws - and we follow this today. Romans 6:14 "For sin must not be master over you, SEEING THAT YOU ARE NOT UNDER LAW+ but under undeserved kindness.+" We are no longer under the stoning law. So I urge you to study more to learn what the bible is really teaching......

These days they are talking about 'virtue signaling' and 'snowflakes' in a moral high ground sense..... but I presume you are talking of real snow.... Yep I can agree - although we have had a very mild fall and winter so far. We have had snow but only one day at -9 degrees. The rest were just above or below zero. But the bad days are coming - the awful wind. Last year my face got burnt from the wind. The only cream that helped for the burns was bees wax. Today is longest night. So I guess we will have only 5 hours of murky (clouded) light. Doing field service so far has not been too bad.

There are people who joke so much because this is their way of disrupting the conversation - or to get to the center of attention. There is a time for everything and a good joke timed well is irreplaceable. I do agree that some cultures have a different sense of humor. In Sweden one has to say it is a joke..... because they are so serious and do not get it when one utters an absurdity. (Too many absurdities of course creates a different impression). However, I think Strecko should make his own intentions clear.

Talking about food rationing - I think, as things progress, they will slowly starve millions/billions because farming will be reduced and food rationed. It brings the famines under communism to mind. Moral decline is happening daily in front of our eyes. Saw a clip yesterday where the professor is drawing attention to a school in Ireland which is now teaching their students that boys can have periods so they do not feel excluded. When they start messing with reality in such a way - what chance do the children have? We will see the difference between the wicked and righteous clearly as Jehovah indicated. Lift up your heads......

Strecko - the things you are saying is so absurd that no-one is venturing to answer you. I do not want to get into an argument with you but you have a lot of things totally wrong about what JWs believe. Your attitude is not such that one can venture to help you to understand what we really believe. I know your attitude is coming across as very confrontational but this may be because English is not your first language.

"More Russians consider Joseph Stalin the “most outstanding person” in world history than any other leader, according to a poll released Monday. Tied for second in the same survey is the man who has done more than anyone to restore the notorious Soviet dictator's reputation, Russian President Vladimir Putin. " Yes! Wonderful! The Russian propaganda machine is working better than ever! Trusting everything coming out of Russia? How gullible. I follow Russia closely and believe me - the nationalism is building (it is a tool of the state) and family and church is better than ever (used by the state). The West is shown to be incompetent and their system is wonderful! People have short memories do you not agree? The head of the church was KGB...... like Putin.... they understand propaganda..... and with philosophers such as Dugan (which all high profile people love) - you trust Russia? It is maybe a form of communism with a better face but more deadly. I have been watching for years how reporters who speak the truth are just found dead on the street..... how human rights lawyers are found dead. Do you think the polonium murders in England were done by Russians or Brits? ....Or the long tentacles of a totalitarian state?

Space merchant you understand the implications. It started with the beautiful thoughts of freedom, egalitarianism long before the French revolution. Human philosophies has been inspired by Satan and he has been preparing for this world government for a very long time. ..... if one looks at the histories of these utopian philosophies and how it progressed until now. I put a note on the other subject related to this which shows how spiritism and indirect worship of Satan is all part of this trend. The Lucis Trust writes blogs for the united nations. Read up about theosophy.... You may get a shock. I also found a link between Rosicrucian's and Islam...... and this explains so many things to me because many of the worlds organizations which have secret higher levels (such as free masons) are linked to false worship and ideas of power in a one world government. All these organizations are linked to creating a "counterfeit" word government in opposition to Jehovah. Satan does not care how many people are killed - he is being drawn out to create one world order to substitute the purpose of Jehovah.

Looked into Theosofist teachings - just a drop - and got the shock of my life. They believe that Lucifer did an act of unselfish love when he rebelled. This is the religion behind the Lucis Trust.... which writes a daily blog on the UN website to bring "sustainable living" to the world. (Lucis (theosophy) is also part of the new age movement of light - "enlightenment." It is nothing other than pure spiritism with kabbalism, hinduism and buddism (the meditation) smacked in between the sandwich.) I met a woman in a shop and we started talking; she comes to my house when she wants answers from the Bible when she has seen something in internet. She is a good example of people who now go on internet and get sucked in on these "esoteric" websites which spout ideas similar to theosophy. They are in actual fact worshiping the fallen angels (the ones which fell before the flood). Many websites talk of god-men as aliens who came to earth and refer to ancient Sumerian writings as mentioning this hidden knowledge. This happened to be one of her questions as well. It is quite something to see that theosophy has similar ideas. The word occult means hidden. Spiritism is absolutely rife in Africa - it is everywhere! It seems it has now got a foothold in the West through all these weird "esoteric" - hidden knowledge philosophies. Good people used to hold back the full power of Satan....... Satan has been ruling behind the scenes but it seems he and his angels will soon be a tsunami which openly will rule everything! It is the hidden force behind the UN. Hope this is not too boring to you .... but I thought I will mention it for those who are active in field-service. It is good to be aware of these trends then one can answer accurately and swiftly from the bible.

Thanks for information on the dark and deep net. I have read about the snuff movies on there regarding small children. The internet and its hidden domains are a tool in the hands of Satan to do every evil work . I was very careful to accept that this UN Agenda 21 is a reality. When I understood the goals of Islam (world rule and to institute sharia law) , I quickly realized that it is a counterfeit earthly world government in place of Jehovah's heavenly government - pushed by Satan. Satan has more than a billion people under his control because they are indoctrinated from childhood to accept actions which are not righteous by bible standards. They are afraid of each other - to leave the religion. This is apart from the rest of Babylon the Great. Some churches in USA are voting to accept these new gender ideas..... When I read about the roots of the philosophy of communism and how it infiltrated the west as cultural communism (and many other manifestations such as gender engineering ) , I realized that this push for one world government is a push by Satan to get most countries under his rule (again a counterfeit government in the place of Jehovah's government - the same MO.) I then understood why all the governments are so blind to Islams purpose because these UN/EU officials are secular rulers and do not understand religion. They honestly think all religions are equal and if they give all the same 'material outcome ' - give all the same stuff and keep all in equal position - there will be world peace. They will soon realize that all humans are equal but all cultures, philosophies and religions are NOT equal. They will eventually bring in their own set of moral standards for everyone to follow and abolish personal religions. At present they are covering up the atrocities and bad things to get the primary goal going as fast as possible - to remove borders and get everyone equalized in areas where they can control them. (People are being killed every day by knives in name of Allah - the press do not report it properly and just say the reason is unknown or the persons involved were mentally ill.) Now this new Migration Compact will criminalize anyone who says anything about it. I am not interested in the secular world - to be part of it - but I am interested to see how it fulfills bible prophecy. I am already " lifting my head up" because it is only a matter of time... How far this will go - I do not know - but I understand that Satan is behind it all and I understand what his goals are. He is manipulating the propaganda and the hidden things for his ONE purpose (to completely control the world) a - physically, mentally and spiritually) and there are some influential people /rulers/billionaires (who do not really believe that Satan exists ) who are playing the entire game completely into his hands.

In Islam the penalty for heresy or blasphemy is the same - death. Indonesia has become intolerant. The extreme form of islam is spreading everywhere now. If one looks at old pictures of Egypt or Iran in the fifties - the women were wearing modern clothes and no hijab. The new phenomenon is a political statement and women must adhere to this. If they do not - they bring dishonor in the society to their husband and honor killing rakes place. In Islam the behavior of women in a family is closely linked to the entire families' honor... so if a brother of a young girl who was alone with a man for a while does not kill her - a cousin or extended family member can.

If I live in fear of the ruler and my neighbor is watching me all the time because they do not like me - and one word from them could have me liquidated......I would definitely say that Stalin is the most wonderful man living. I would praise the government and bow to every request of the government and follow all its instructions. People were so afraid of the authorities because not only did you suffer yourself. They would come and take your children, your parents (everyone you loved and had contact with), and lock them up. It is easy to just read as a scholar (but with no imagination to put yourself in the shoes of the proletariat's) well..... then it becomes a disputed number.... because there is no living person in a family to tell the story. It is now happening in North Korea. If a person escapes - then the entire family is rounded up. This is the method of communism.

Frankly - how can a dispute on the numbers make Stalin less of a monster? He was a killer like Genghis Khan - but I am sure he fathered not as many children .... LOL They found his genes in a fairly large percentage of earth's population. (I am too lazy to look up the statistic but it is quite huge). I know that you want 'balance': They call it here in Sweden "Lagom" and it is a national mind set...... but there is no balance when we are talking about a monster who is responsible for a 'conservative' number like 20 million deaths. That is what atheism and an utopian philosophy does when they are put together.

Yes - inside Russia the old state propaganda machine is working better than ever! Sweden, at present, is worried about Russian aggression to take Gotland for a port. Russia has been silently taking pieces of land (and ports) and the world is doing nothing. The propaganda machine of nationalism and church is flowering under Putin... Heard of Alexander Dugan? His ideas were radical 20 years ago but now all the Russian leaders are following his ideas. He wants Russia to rule Europe - Eurasia

So you are saying all anointed would have speaking of tongues, write bible books, prophecy - basically all have the same gifts? Why would they then need each other if all could do it all? Sorry - this is simplifying the spirit Jehovah has and which he gives. The spirit does give all the same qualities - of love , peace, joy etc. as mentioned in Gal 5:22 because it flows to all produce these qualities in all .... but the 'gifts' are given as needed. So different brothers ha ve different gifts.

Just saw this news item: Google is supporting snitching on neighbors - This technology will probably eventually be used in the west. (No gulag but the death penalty for blasphemy) In Pakistan so many Christians are being accused of blasphemy and are dying. The children are enslaved and their parent's possession taken. "Thanks to Google, blasphemy app is now a thing for folks in Indonesia who don’t approve of each other’s behavior. Journalist Laura Loomer (who herself was kicked off Twitter for ‘blasphemy’ against Congresswoman-elect Ilhan Omar) reports the app was approved by Google at the request of the Indonesian government. While Indonesia has strict blasphemy codes against hostility, hate and contempt against religion, it’s also the country which sourced the Islamic renewal movement. Islamic renewal is in the vein of Muslim reform and urges tolerance and critical thinking within the context of faith and theology. However, technological surveillance communities initiated by peers within that community is a very slippery slope, particularly when the app is used to address “deviant” behavior, which can mean anything."

Someone posted a response today on one of those two videos about the "code" enforcement for Agenda 21. They said it was to get people off the land to build a speed train track. Trains are a large part of the UN plan - to get people out of cars and in public transport. I may mention that South Africa is badly polluted too! DDT was used when I was a little girl - literally everywhere! I played on grass with DDT. It was later banned but when the new government came in it was again legal and most probably ongoing. In Sweden there are many wilderness areas and public transport is excellent. So this part of the plan is very good. I believe Sweden already has a high conformity to Agenda 21. People ride cycles and walk a lot! Which is also healthy. My husband and I love to walk in the "skogen" the forests - which are stunningly beautiful. We do some "Oxygen bathing" in the forests. Food is my greatest concern. Production will be planned and will be rationed. All mass meat farming is the largest food sector producing methane - which is the largest contributor to global climate change. ... than transport. And what will the quality of food be if companies like Monsanto/Bayer produce it? They genetically engineer as much as possible.... one sickness in a potato or a rice plant can leave millions without food. They remove all diversity of plants and only genetically engineer one variety.

I agree with what you have said except last two paragraphs. They are dissonant , screeching notes amongst some pure ones.

There is a difference between being 'inspired' and being led by holy spirit. The Holy Spirit has many functions and all these various functions produce results in line with Jehovah's purpose. In times of Apostles some preached, some healed, some produced the scriptures, some spoke in languages.... all different results but fulfilling Jehovah's purpose.

Stalin killed so many of the trusted people in his government - those who were close to him. His mind was cold and calculating. They were all afraid of him. That was why they did NOTHING when he had his stroke. Stalin reminds me of Herod who killed most of his close family members because he was paranoid they would take his throne. If there was just a whiff of a person "seeming " to be disloyal (no proof needed) they were executed. To try to say that such a person was not so wicked..... and that he was not behind the killings is ... well..... like Herod not being responsible for the order to kill all the babies.

I agree blood is blood - if it is 10 or 40 million. But I am interested in how people get to that point of killing large numbers and how they justify it.... and could it happen again. Are we on our way to another wave of this? My mentioning these numbers was to demonstrate how deadly the philosophy is and how we may see more killing. Under communism, neighbors snitched on neighbors they did not like and made up stories to get their apartments, food or other privileges. Could this happen again? Many of those in the Gulags were innocent victims. There is an arabic word THULM which means injustice... and the related word : thalaam means darkness. Very apt for what is waiting for mankind.

There is a BIG difference between 6 million and the "conservative" numbers of 20 million. ..... As you say - one can see what you want to see. So to complain about the 40,000 or 20,000 does not take away the possibility that we can see the same happening in future caused by the same philosophical thinking. There is no "wish" in my heart to see what I see. The next time it will not just be 20,000 or even 40,000 million or a conservative 100 million. I see the same goals in the EU and the UN - it was reached by different pathways but the same goal. Looked at a clip today where Mr. Guy Verhofstadt shouted at the EU members in a meeting at the EU that the problems in the EU is because some countries do not want to "give over their sovereignty to the EU." History has proven that humans are inherently wicked - we have ample examples in history of despots killing as many people as they wish and getting away with it. If people do not actively work at being righteous according to the standards of God - anything is possible. I therefore believe that this will lead to the worst tribulation the world has ever seen. Maybe they will have a Babylon of confusion before they try to reverse its original effect - but they will go down trying....

This is not about individual properties " between other properties in suburbs" who can lose their homes. This is about large areas where the people are deliberately targeted to get the land free from any homes... This is different.... not a property tax issue but a "environmental code" issue.

James - I am living in Sweden at present. Next year we are moving to Georgia.... I have already started to learn the language. Stopped learning Swedish. It is sufficient to get by for now. I am in Arabic congregation at present. There are individual adherents to the "religion of peace" which are attending meetings but they often change their name... and friends...
