Un-United Nations

[New World Explorer]

After days of tense behind-the-scenes negotiations, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution proposing a 30-day humanitarian ceasefire in Syria, but Russia and the US did not present a united front. And pointed out that “credibility of the UN Security Council is at stake.”

It really shows who controls the world!

This leads me to a thinking question to what extent wicked spirits are trying to prevent the "Peace and Security" to emerge.

Nice thought!

I expect several legions of them along with Satan, knowing just up ahead is his Abyssing by Jesus himself.  Then we can finally sing out "OH What A Relief It Is!""""

Isn’t whole media essentially a propaganda machine run by wicked spirits?

By that logic jw.org/en/news is run by wicked spirits...

So the answer to your question is "No," however, I still believe Russia Today is a propaganda machine run by Putin.

Not really. Quite a few working within news media are really concerned with uncovering the truth and spreading correct information. Some have a biased world view, and we need to learn to make a distinction. But wicked spirits will try to influence politicians, organisations, journalists, enraged masses of people.

Just a word of caution regarding our neutral stand as Witnesses. 

Even if you feel like; it it’s better to keep such feelings to yourself 

I was simply reporting content .... do you think that the CONTENT of the report is false?

As far as it depends upon you... Be peaceable... 

 

Let's all try to play nice and use our words.

*** g 12/13 p. 7 Can You Trust the News Media? ***
While it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust. The key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.
The Bible says: “Does not the ear itself test out words as the palate tastes food?” (Job 12:11) Here, then, are some tips that will help us to test out the words we hear and read:
PROVIDER: Does the report come from a credible, authoritative person or organization? Does the program or publication have a reputation for seriousness or for sensationalism? Who provide the funds for the news source?
SOURCES: Is there evidence of thorough research? Is the story based on just one source? Are the sources reliable, fair, and objective? Are they balanced, or have they been selected to convey only one point of view?
PURPOSE: Ask yourself: ‘Is the news item primarily to inform or entertain? Is it trying to sell or support something?’
TONE: When the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.
CONSISTENCY: Are the facts consistent with those in other articles or reports? If stories contradict one another, be careful!
TIMELINESS: Is the information recent enough to be acceptable? Something thought to be correct 20 years ago may be discounted today. On the other hand, if the news item is a breaking story, it may lack complete and comprehensive information.

I like that.  I just wish it were possible to get good reliable news... till then I will watch the comedians on youtube, at least you know what angle they are coming from.  hahaha

Seriously, let's drop the off topic debate about trusting the media.

Well that assumes that although in Tartarus (a state of dense spiritual darkness), these wicked spirits are nonetheless fully aware of this prophecy.

Not ALL of the "wicked spirit forces" (demons) are in Tartarus, I don't think so anyway.

O yes, but please listen to a new video talk by

David Schafer- Survive the Great Day (Rev. 16:16)

Tartarus is a condition rather than a particular location

The dense darkness similarly is not literally a lack of light but results from their being cut off from illumination by God as renegades and outcasts from his family, with only a dark outlook as to their eternal destiny.

 

 

ALL demons are in this condition,

Yes, I realize that, but the scriptures show that it is the angels that forsook their positions in Noah's day that were "confined to  dense darkness" in Tartarus.

 

• Tartarus

• • In the Christian Greek Scriptures, a prison like abased condition into which the disobedient angels of Noah’s day were cast.
