There may be some of you who are interested in facts instead of hearsay. If so, the following may interest you. Please note this; most of you are opposed to organized religion. So are Jehovah's Witnesses, and, I might add, so is the Bible. If you have questions about anything in here, please ask. Most of what follows is fairly accurate as far as I know at this time. Jehovah’s Witnesses en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovahs_witnesses Jehovah's Witnesses are members of a restorationist,[1]millenialist[2] Christian denomination of the same name. The religion emerged from the Bible Student Movement, founded in the late 19th century by Charles Taze Russell. On July 26, 1931, the name ...

This is the only group I know that actively practices love of their fellow brothers. And, they do it time after time after time; the storm in New Orleans is NOT the only disaster where the Witnesses have come through for each other. You might think about that the next time you hear something nasty about them. As a further note, the only people who have been made whole after Katrina are the Jehovah's Witnesses. All of them, and many of their neighbors as well.

The Seed

The Seed When reading the Bible, it is often difficult to understand what is being said. There is a reason for this; it takes time and effort to learn enough of the Bible to begin to understand what is intended. That is not an accident, as this Scripture will illustrate. Luke 8:4-16; Now when a great crowd had collected together with those that went to him from city after city, he spoke by means of an illustration; 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. Well, as he was sowing, some of it fell alongside the road and was trampled down, and the birds of heaven ate it up. 6 Some other landed upon the rock-mass, and after sprouting, it dried up because of not having moisture. 7 Some other ...
What is the Bible?

What is the Bible? And with that, perhaps we should look at what it means to be meek. Psalms 37:11; But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The meek ones themselves will possess the earth…… umm, guess we better set the basis for that; Genesis 1:26-28; And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.” 27 And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in ...

I need to have someone here who has extensive knowledge of the Bible answer 4 questions for me please, their answers are very important for something I am working on. 1. Being relatively unfamiliar with religious material, I had always assumed that the State of of Israel was supposed to be, by "fate" or whatever, re-established in the "end times" at the hand of man, not God. Is this true, and where in particular are the Biblical passages explaining and supporting this idea? 2. If, for the existence of Israel to be spiritually "valid" in a cosmic sense, it must be re-established by God and not man(the "New Jerusalem"), does that not mean that the ...
Muslims Object to Christian Prayer Meeting in Oxford Church

In yet another sign of the increasing Islamification of Britain, a Muslim pressure group in Oxford has demanded — and received — an apology from a Christian prayer group which organised a “Call to Prayer” meeting in St. Aldate’s Church (illustration) in that city centre. The Muslim Education Centre of Oxford (Meco) accused Witney-based Christian “Open Doors UK” of preaching “evangelical propaganda”, despite that organisation holding an indoor meeting in a Christian Church, and not forcing anyone to attend. Pathetically, Open Doors UK immediately apologised and insisted the prayer meeting had been taken out of context, although it ...

What is the Meaning of Life? Or, Is There More to Life Than Just This Brief Period of Time That We Suffer on This Earth? The Bible is an amazing book. Frustration results from a life course that conflicts with the Creator’s requirement and his guidelines for happiness. Galatians 6:7,8 warns; “Do not be mislead: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap; because he who is sowing with a view to his flesh will reap corruption from his flesh.” Galatians 5:19-21; Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, idolatry, practice of spiritism, enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, ...

The Principles by Which We are Instructed to Live PEACEFULLY in This Wicked World To live peacefully…. Quite a dream for most. I wonder why? Is it just because they do not wish to, or, is there more to it than that? I started a number of years ago to actively cleanse my life of most of the garbage in it. That happened AFTER I began reading the Bible and learned the principles by which we are commanded to live, if we are going to live in a manner that is pleasing to God and Jesus Christ. You should be able to fill in the blank about what happens if we do not live in a manner pleasing to those two. Romans 13; Let every soul (Or, ‘every living person’) be in subjection to ...
Does God have a name? And if so, what is it? [Full Thread]

Does God have a name? And if so, what is it? Jehovah – The personal name of the only true God. His own self-designation. Jehovah is the Creator and, rightfully, the Sovereign Ruler of the universe. “Jehovah” is translated from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton, which means “He Causes to Become.” Those 4 Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH. Which form of the divine name is correct? JHVH or YHWH? JeHoVaH or YaHWeH? No human alive today can be certain how it was originally pronounced in Hebrew. Why not? Biblical Hebrew was originally written with only consonants, no vowels. When the language was in every day use, readers easily ...

Mary – Mother of God? Luke 1:31-35; “You are to conceive and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High … The child will be holy and will be called Son of God.” Heb. 2:14, 17; “Since all the children share the same blood and flesh, he (Jesus) too shared equally in it … It was essential that he should in this way become completely like his brothers.” BUT… would he have been completely like his brothers if he had been a God-man? The New Catholic Encyclopedia says: “Mary is truly the mother of God if two conditions are fulfilled: that she is really the mother of Jesus and that Jesus is ...

Date; 30 May, 2000 Source; USA TODAY If you have a front door, a Jehovah’s Witness probably has knocked on it. With well-dressed politeness and practiced persistence, they offer literature, biblical advice and a path to God’s kingdom as they see it. As often as not, they knock at the wrong time, when we’re too busy to listen or not particularly interested in shopping for another faith. But before you shut the door on a Jehovah’s Witness the next time, pause to consider the shameful persecution they suffered not too long ago, as well as the rich contributions they have made to the First Amendment freedoms we all enjoy. The legal clashes Jehovah’s Witnesses had ...
"Passion" Should Highlight Christian Jewish Difference

"Passion" Should Highlight Christian Jewish Difference By Henry Makow Ph.D. February 1, 2004 Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ (opening Feb 25) has the potential to become a major cultural turning point by focusing attention on the fundamental difference between Christianity and Judaism. Since the Holocaust, Christians have blurred their beliefs for fear of seeming anti-Semitic. But Jesus and the Pharisees had a deadly enmity. This antagonism is the essence of Christianity and cannot be denied. At the same time Gibson's film might inspire Jews to take a hard look at Judaism. Gibson's graphic depiction of the Crucifixion apparently evokes an intense religious ...

First Off, I want to apologize for the poor video quality, when I heard the Completely Corrupt Bush announcing the Mark of the Beast system, I was in a room that only had a old-school VCR and a well used tape. But the video and what Bush said was clear enough to know what time it is. How appropriate, that on 06/06/06, Bush announces the Biometric Mark of the Beast system. Now the AC Bush speaks of the Biometric IDs for foreign workers, to start with, but this is only the reason given to implement the infrastructure of the Mark. You all know that what starts with one group soon appplies to all. 666 is here. Everyone, feel priviledged that you live in the last days. Prepare, GET YOUR HOUSE IN ...

He is 30 years old and attends an evangelical church in California. The following is excerpted from a Fox News interview dated August 12, 2008: “There are two facts that Muslims don’t understand. I’d say about more than 95 percent of Muslims don’t understand their own religion. ... Second, they don’t understand anything about ...

J. Gresham Machen on Imperialism, Militarism, and Conscription

Who is J. Gresham Machen and why should we care what he said about imperialism, militarism, and conscription? John Gresham Machen (1881–1937) was a conservative Presbyterian New Testament scholar who taught at Princeton Theological Seminary from 1906–1929. Because he believed that the seminary had left its historic theological position, Machen left Princeton in 1929 and founded Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, teaching there until his untimely death in 1937. Machen was widely recognized in his day as one of the most scholarly and zealous defenders of conservative Protestantism. His most enduring works are The Origin of Paul’s Religion (1921), The Virgin ...

Admiralty Law - Maritime Secret Law [Vessels in Commerce vs. Vessels of the Lord]

Admiralty Law Maritime Secret Law http://www.commonlawvenue.net/main/MSL.htm Maritime liens are ancient encumbrances on vessels under Admiralty Law to enforce the payment of debts. Merchants and governments like admiralty law because it provides less rights to a debtor than the common law. Because ships can sail out of a jurisdiction, the merchants needed swift execution to collect debts. Therefore a creditor can have a vessel arrested by the police without any proof that the debt exists and without filing the lien. This is called an "in rem" action, in which the vessel or its cargo is seized without any proof. The creditor does not have to prove that the debt is owed unless ...

It's not every day you see a walking contradiction. But I saw one in a Publix parking lot.I was pulling into the Carrollwood lot, searching for a space. A woman walked out of the store and headed for the aisle I was in. Because the lot was so full, I decided to wait for her to leave. She was bogged down with tons of the newly hip green bags — the ones that are made of recycled materials and can be used again and again — and wore a white T-shirt that said "Green is Sexy" in big, bold letters. Out of the bags peeked bland, yet stylish packages of organic food. Then, she climbed into her big, black Hummer. You know, the car that gets gallons to the mile instead of vice ...

Over the last few days, I have received a bunch of e-mails from about the hypocrisy of evangelical Christian political activism. I want to address a few. The first was a column by Mary Starrett on News With Views asking why the Family Research Council chose not to invite Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin to a recent “values-voters” summit. They invited John McPain and pro-infanticide Big Crock Obama. But they ignored Baldwin. You need to read this column for the FRC’s totally convoluted reasoning for their decision. The second was from my Hungarian homeboy (1) in suburban Denver who asks similar questions about Saturday’s forum featuring McPain ...

I was on my way back from the store and waiting at a stoplight and next to me was a brand spanking new champagne colored FLEETWOOD DISCOVERY RV (Starting at $200,760*) with a tow bar pulling a late model champagne colored FORD EXPLORER, and they both had Delaware vanity plates. The RV plate was "PRAIZ HM" and the EXPLORER's WAS "PRAZ HM" The RV had a Club Lazydays plate on the back.

Why Does The Illuminati Eye Infest Christian Churches?

During a visit to a breathtaking, beautiful and ornate Christian cathedral in Lucerne, Switzerland last week, I was taken aback by the sight of something that seemed completely out of context and out of place - a baleful and evil-looking Illuminati eye staring out over a representation of the crucified Jesus. Why do similar depictions infest Christian churches the world over?The Church of St. Leodegar, popularly called the Hofkirche, in the bustling town of Lucerne in northern Switzerland, was originally built in 735 and the present structure was erected in 1633 in the late Renaissance style. The cathedral’s distinctive twin needles were part of the original structure.The church is ...

(Psalm 53:1) When Alexander Solzhenitsyn died last weekend, I was reminded how this brilliant man of letters explained so simply and accurately how it was that 60 million perished following the Bolshevik revolution in his country. "I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: 'Men have forgotten God' – that's why all this happened." He continued: "... All attempts to find a way out of the plight of today's world are fruitless unless we redirect our ...
