Religious atrocities called out!

[seasonedWithsalt]

An interesting news article from CNN ;

http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/16/living/religion-week-hell/

In other news, I have been noticing some very interesting wording by governmental officials.

Most noteworthy: The president of the United States of America has refrain from using the expression "islamic terrorism". However he is quite willing to call out Christians in there crusades and inquisitions as Terrorist acts!

Likewise the United Nations has followed suit and is not calling it "Islamic terrorism".

I believe this shift toward saying; no religion kills in the name of his God, whether it be Muslims Christians or any other religion,... Is significant.

If religious orders that kill in the name of their God are call terrorist, then they are no longer a religion.... So if All religions begin to slaughter one-another they have all become terrorist organizations from the governments viewpoints.

And it could be in this way that all government agree on one thing... Terrorism must be destroyed.

Yeah, I'm noticing the same trend.   Likewise, this article: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/23/home-office-to-blacklist-extremists-to-protect-public-sector discusses the UK's new stance on extremism.  

The Home Office is drawing up a blacklist of extremist individuals and organisations with whom the government and public sector should not engage,Theresa May has revealed.

The list of legal but unacceptable organisations is being compiled by a new Home Office “extremism analysis unit”, which is also to develop a counter-entryism strategy to tackle Islamist radicalisation and ensure there is no repeat of the Trojan horse affair in Birmingham schools across the public sector.

 

My question, though, is, who defines what extremism is?  When you start dealing with semantics, and when you change the meaning of these words, it's easy to redefine things to fit whatever situation you want.  For example, simply stating that homosexual marriage is wrong could be viewed as extremist.  

Once you open this door, you can't shut it.  Governments can create laws designed to fight religious extremists or terrorists, then use those same laws and turn on mainstream religions, too.

I believe that this is the intentional point of the government. It's by no accident but by design that all this is coming about

We are witnessing what is leading up to the destruction of false religion as well as the attack on Jehovah's true worshipers.  These terrorist attacks are what are going to cause the governments to say "No More Tolerance of Religion" just as prophecy has shown us.

 

Better be prepared ... it won't be long now.

 

And they will also be going after JWs because the news media has been making JWs look extremist too - take a look at the recent attack at the airport - all over the news "he was a Jehovah's Witness" and he had molotov cocktails to blow things up, and they only mention that his family said he was mentally unstable.  They will look at things like this take action against JWs too.

 

It is coming ...

THANK YOU JEHOVAH, FOR ALLOWING YOUR TIME TABLE TO SOON TAKE PLACE!   Reading all of this and that story I found on Daily Mail "Fourth Reich" makes you see and feel the end of the Satan's ruler ship is coming.   (2 Chronicles 32:7, 8) 7 “Be courageous and strong. Do not be afraid or be terrified because of the king of As·syrʹi·a and all the multitude with him, for there are more with us than there are with him. 8 With him is an arm of flesh, but with us is Jehovah our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people were strengthened by the words of King Hez·e·kiʹah of Judah. (We are strengthened by Jehovah's words through our meetings, our study articles, the unity, and love among ourselves, obedience).   (2 Chronicles 20:15) . . .‘Do not be afraid or be terrified because of this large crowd, for the battle is not yours but God’s.  *** Bible Citations *** (2 Chronicles 20:17)  17 You will not need to fight this battle. Take your position, stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah in your behalf.

 

I pray and hope for all of us around the world, that we live to see this day vindicate Jehovah's Name and Sovereignty!  After we've seen it, on our knees thanking Jehovah for helping us make it through!   And I know that none of us in here will be like the ungrateful Israelite s, who after 3 days from crossing the Red Sea, they became ungrateful!  I just don't picture that with any of us in here!   I know some may fall asleep in death prior to, but those of us who can stand up (like Jesus), will make it through.   Jehovah bless you all dear friends!   We are so close.

Remaining neutral means we do not have an opinion!

[Stormswift]

We don't have to be neutral when we see prophecy being fulfilled though - that is exciting - recounting events doesn't a biased opinion make - except that we see Jehovah speeding things up on the world scene and within his organization.

I agree sis.

Yes! The time is short. We have to keep focussed on the preaching, prayers and helping our brothers and sisters remain strong to the end. I see these extremists being the cause of the beginning of the GT as well. There are too many rising up, one after the other, and the whole world is bonded in a coalition through the UN Security Council which has an official treaty in place to force each country to fight them independently and together...it's too perfectly in line with bible prophecy not to be significant. And the thing that keeps coming to my mind every time I hear or see the term extremist is that there are already some countries which describe us as an extremist religion.

I read an interesting article about the absurdity of Remembrance Day, with WWI leading on to more wars since that time.  In part it says:

 

Today, we pretend shock that young men sometimes go abroad to fight for a cause, religious or otherwise, but compared to the mass insanity of World War I, what we see today is truly petty. The authorities everywhere then made great efforts to push young men, using songs, marching bands, slogans, shame and social pressure in many forms, and countless lies...

 

World War I made absolutely no sense. It achieved nothing worth achieving, and it did so at immense cost. Apart from killing about 20,000,000 people, the war left countless crippled and disabled and created a great swathe of destruction across Europe.

If Germany had been allowed to dominate Europe for a time, it would have made comparatively little difference to the lives of most people. Indeed, today, that is the situation we find in the European Union...

 

If we remember World War One for exactly what it was, and not for what we wish it had been, we see a vast, pointless slaughter that succeeded in setting conditions for still more slaughter. Never repeating it would be a blessing indeed.

But if we see it as moving and inspirational, if we associate its name with thoughts of ending war or protecting democracy or of great camaraderie and shared hardship, if we are emotionally moved by troops in uniforms and flags flying and bugles and drumbeats, then we most assuredly will repeat it, as we have already done more than once, and I’m pretty sure that’s what the arrogant politicians and jingoes want us ready to do.

Spot on in pointing out the ones behind the great slaughters of war - worldly governments, those puppets Satan is manipulating:

 

The ugly truth is that governments, run by men with great egos – likely more often than not, actual narcissists – who are supported by privileged wealth wanting to keep or expand its privilege, make the decision for wars largely on the basis of fairly primitive instincts, instincts about being first or not letting a competitor gain an advantage, or just vague and meaningless stuff about being manly or resolute – standing your ground, keeping a stiff upper lip, putting up with no nonsense, showing your manhood, and so on and so forth.

 

The religious situation will foment into one that seriously clashes with the governments' privileged position, and they will easily be goaded on by Satan using the UN to raise religion to the ground.  They actually will think that this will bring THEM peace (and $$$), but couch it in terms that make it seem that the world will now have peace.

 

Look how the rest of the world honours their dead from wars with Remembrance Days, Anzac commemorations and the like.  They actually don't think of it as a slaughter.
