Why I Left Organized Christendom – and Why I Joined the Jehovah’s Witnesses Matthew 7:13, 14; “Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it. I started reading the Bible more than 20 years ago, alone. Why alone? Because I simply did not know of anyone who actually read the Bible. I was raised a Roman Catholic; they certainly do not read the Bible! Others claim to, but everything that I saw in the organized churches of Christendom were but a reflection of the Roman Catholic ...
Jehova's Witnesses [Or alt. title: "What the Cults Believe"]

Jehova's Witnesses define themselves to be servants of Jehova, the Almighty God, and active witnesses to his sovereign supremacy. They reject any association with organized Christendom, which they view as religious hypocrisy. For them, the central issue is vindication of the name and sovereignty of Jehova - far more important than the salvation of men. Jehova's Witnesses are known for their amazing publication and witnessing activity. In every major city you will notice Jehova's Witnesses displaying the Awake and The Watchtower magazine while enduring the ridicule of the secular population. Almost every household is visited by Jehova's Witnesses at least once a year. Each ...
The Exact Word (What is the right word for Obama.) [Full Thread]

What is the right word for Obama. He once told us "words matter." In his commentary "The Real Obama," Thomas Sowell rightly points out the importance of using exact words to communicate effectively. Sowell argues that Senator Barack Obama's critics are making a strategic mistake when they use the word associate to describe the Senator's ties to William Ayers, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Father Michael Pfleger. According to Sowell, the word ally is the more appropriate word to describe Obama's connection to these people. Obama is not guilty by association; his guilt is through alliance. He is aligned to leftist radicals in that he shares in their fierce ...
Why Read the Bible?

Why Read the Bible? The Bible is unlike any other book. It contains loving instruction from God. (1 Thessalonians 2:13) If you apply what the Bible teaches, you will benefit greatly. You will increase your love for God and will draw close to him, the Giver of “every good gift and every perfect present.” (James 1:17) You will come to know how to approach him in prayer. During times of trouble, you can experience God’s help. If you harmonize your life with the standards set out in the Bible, God will give you everlasting life. – Romans 6:23. The Bible contains truths that give enlightenment. Those who gain Bible knowledge are liberated from the misconceptions that ...

Modern "Commercial Law" is based on Ancient Babylonian Codes A Historical Research Article Linking the "Slave-Trading Codes" of Ancient Babylon to the Modern Laws of "Commerce", "Equity", and Civil/Municipal Jurisdictions. Meyer Amschel Rothschild said: "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws . . . enforced unemployment and hunger, imposed on the masses because of the power we have to create shortages of food, will create the RIGHT of Capital to rule more surely than it was given to the real aristocracy". A new union between Babylonian religions, Babylonian banking and Babylonian law is ...

The rise and rise of Climate Blasphemy
Post Date: 2008-10-10 06:45:26 by Ada

Today’s Ofcom ruling on The Great Global Warming Swindle strengthens the censorious forcefield around climate change experts. The blasphemy laws are dead and buried in Britain. Courtesy of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act, which passed into law on 8 July 2008, it is no longer a common law offence to speak or publish any contemptuous, reviling, scurrilous or ludicrous words relating to God, Jesus Christ or the Bible. Thank Christ (or whoever) for that. Yet just as religious blasphemy collapses under the weight of satirical operas featuring Jesus Christ in a nappy and shelf-hogging books about why God is dead, or a bastard, or both, so a new form of scientific blasphemy is ...
Haifa Chief Rabbi at Vatican: Wartime Pope let Jews down

The first Jew to address a Vatican synod on Monday told the gathering that Jews "cannot forgive and forget" that some major religious leaders during World War Two did not speak out against the Holocaust. Rabbi Shear-Yashuv Cohen's words, spoken in the presence of Pope Benedict, were a clear reference to wartime Pope Pius XII, who many Jews say did not do enough to help them. Rabbi Shear-Yashuv Cohen told Reuters earlier Monday that wartime Pope Pius XII should have done more to help Jews during the Holocaust. Cohen he might have stayed away if he had known the major Church gathering coincided with ceremonies to honor Pius on the 50th anniversary of his death. "We feel ...
THE CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD

The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. Proverbs 21:16 America is a dying country. I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but America is a dead man walking. The once great “shining city on a hill” is gasping for breath. Everywhere you turn you are faced with the harsh truth that the death rattle has begun. We are a dying people controlled by a dying government, infected with the dead leadership of dead men, who chew on a dead gospel served-up in dead churches, by dead pastors living out a dead faith. The stench of death is permeating our society. How could this possibly be? America, has wandered “out of ...
Make man in our image

Make man in our image Pretty clear statement. Maybe. Why maybe? Because Almighty God has no corporal body, such as we do and always will have; the resurrection that is spoken of in the Bible is a resurrection of our bodies to reside here on this earth forevermore. Therefore, what image are we talking about? I have mentioned many times that the Bible is a witness to itself, so, perhaps we can find an answer in the Bible to this riddle. Ephesians 4:22, 24; and you should put away the old personality which conforms to your former course of conduct and which is being corrupted according to his deceptive desires; 23 but that you should be made new in the force actuating your mind, 24 and ...

Far from criminalising denial of the Armenian genocide, we should decriminalise denial of the Holocaust What a magnificent blow for truth, justice and humanity the French national assembly has struck. Last week it voted for a bill that would make it a crime to deny that the Turks committed genocide against the Armenians during the first world war. Bravo! Chapeau bas! Vive la France! But let this be only a beginning in a brave new chapter of European history. Let the British parliament now make it a crime to deny that it was Russians who murdered Polish officers at Katyn in 1940. Let the Turkish parliament make it a crime to deny that France used torture against insurgents in Algeria. Let ...

A vast potential for infernal mischief can be found in some otherwise harmless adverbs. Let us examine the specific case of the seemingly inoffensive modifier "normally." Incorrigible cynic that I am, I've long believed that any sentence that begins with the word "normally" is an exercise in deception, generally taking the form of special pleading. Whatever follows the word "normally" is something morally objectionable that I should summarily reject, but am being asked to countenance just this one time. Or so I'm being told to believe. In a radio commentary for Focus on the Family broadcast yesterday before the congressional vote on the Economic ...

An Election Day Sermon I Would Like to Preach

If I could preach a sermon on the Sunday before Election Day, this is what I would say. Today’s teaching is entitled “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Godliness”. The subtitle is “The Theology of America.” While I will touch on numerous contemporary political and social issues, a few things will be off limits. Specifically, I will not be mentioning any candidate, party or contemporary political figure. Indeed, I will not even mention my own party affiliation. And I will not talk about voting. Christianity is an intellectual exercise. We are called to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. (Matthew 22:37) We come to church to glorify God. God gave us each an ...

YOUTH OF THE APOCALYPSE AND THE LAST TRUE REBELLION A battle cry to today's youth, to live and die for Christ crucfied... By Monks John Marler and Andrew Wermuth ...If one looks at the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be darkened by the clouds. - Isaiah 5:30 In the darkening world of contemporary unbelief, where the impending storm clouds of destruction have indeed almost drowned out the light, this distress is most intensely felt by the still-tender souls of the youth. We, the youth of today, see how reality is warped and twisted into escapism by those who have swallowed the lies of this world and chosen to live in the shadow of evil. We see how our ...

John 17:3; This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ. I am still wondering. That so many are wrapped up in the BS coming out of New York and Washington, DC. There is nothing new under the sun, and what is happening today in the financial markets was started many, many years ago. But why do people refuse to see that? Twenty-five (and more) years ago, men wrote about what would happen after 2005. It's mathmatics. It is not rocket science; it is as simple as 2 + 2. If you are getting a different sum than 4, then you are working with an absence of either knowledge or understanding. The same thing is ...

I find it interesting how few people understand the Bible. Interesting, but very, very sad as well. We have in our hands a promise from Jehovah God that says we are to be resurrected to live on a paradise earth..... forever. Think about that; forever. Not for a measly 60 or 70 years; FOREVER. Not for a 1,000 years; FOREVER. Not for 10,000 years; FOREVER. Not for a million years; FOREVER!! Now tell me, please, just what is it on this earth that is so important, so interesting, that you would risk FOREVER for?! Please, I want to know, cause I just do not get it. Are the traditions and dogma of the Roman Catholic church that important to you!? You say to me; I ain't Catholic, man! Yet ...
End of the Anglican crown - 300 year bar to be lifted - Reforms would allow non-Protestant heir and end male priority

Prince William with Kate Middleton: his first-born would be heir regardless of gender. Photograph: Michael Dunlea/Reuters Downing Street has drawn up plans to end the 300-year-old exclusion of Catholics from the throne. The requirement that the succession automatically pass to a male would also be reformed, making it possible for a first born daughter of Prince William to become his heir. The proposals also include limiting the powers of the privy council, in particular its role as arbiter in disputes between Scotland or Wales and the UK government. The plans were drafted by Chris Bryant, the MP who was charged by Gordon Brown with reviewing the constitution. They are with the prime ...

Who is Jesus Christ? Proverbs 30:6; Add nothing to his words, that he may not reprove you, and that you may not have to be proved a liar. To begin with, it is best that all understand that I consider myself a Christian. What does that mean? It means that I accept Jesus Christ as my savior, and as my King, but in addition, it means that I will try my best to live according to His Word, which, in the Words of Jesus Christ, are not His Words, but the Words of His Father. John 14:23; In answer Jesus said to him: “If anyone loves me, he will observe my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make our abode with him. 24 He that does not love me does not observe ...

Monday, September 22, 2008 As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all. -- Eccl. 9:5 Is there any hope, then, for those who have died? Yes. In fact, there must be if God's original purpose for mankind is to fulfilled. Over the centuries, loyal servants of God have exercised faith in Jehovah's promise about a Seed who would destroy Satan and undo the harm he did. (Gen. 3:15) Most have died. If they are to see the fulfillment of that promise and of others that Jehovah has made, they need to be raised from the dead. (Heb. 11:13) Is such a thing possible? Yes, it is. The apostel Paul said: "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the ...
Honorary Ahmadinejad event criticized

A scheduled New York event meant to honor Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is "obscene," Catholic League President Bill Donohue said Monday. The religious leader called on his supporters to attend a rally Monday night in New York aimed at disrupting Thursday's Ramadan event, a Catholic League news release said. "Catholics need to stand with their Jewish brothers and sisters in protesting this obscene event. Ahmadinejad is a menace to freedom-loving people the world over, and the sight of religious groups embracing him is nauseating," Donohue said. "The Catholic League is proud to take part in this rally and we encourage people of all religious groups to ...

Is it possible that virtually everything you think you know about the Bible is simply not biblical? For instance, are you aware "Three Wise Men" appear nowhere in the story of Jesus' birth, and none are ever mentioned visiting baby Jesus in a Bethlehem manger? It's true, despite what you've seen on countless Christmas cards and in recent movies such as "The Nativity Story." And did you know Jesus did not come to make everyone understand His message? Forget the "holy baloney" you've wrongly heard all your life. It's time to put away the fables and get back to the facts. It doesn't matter if you love the Bible, go to church or believe ...
The Politics of Tribulation -- Sarah Palin and the Rapture

The Politics of Tribulation Sarah Palin and the Rapture By RAYMOND J. LAWRENCE 21/09/08 "Counterpunch" -- Is this country ready for a president who is excited about and eagerly looking forward to the Rapture? The Rapture, as it is called, is the imaginary day when Jesus will come down from the sky and lift up into heaven all those who are saved, leaving behind all unbelievers to destruction and death? Anyone who believes in the Rapture scenario will likely interpret a catastrophic nuclear exchange as the opening scene of the Rapture. Thus an American president who believes in the Rapture would arguably have at least some ambivalence toward a nuclear holocaust. A believer in ...
