[Shannie]

Maybe Bible prophecy… 

Whatever the case this is really big because this is been an ongoing work for 20 years since 911

The nations are very concerned about reemergence of fanatical and terrorist groups in Afghanistan after the fall of the secular government

So yes, this had far reaching consequences.

How the nations will now proceed? Let's wait and see.

Nonetheless these events shake up the whole international community. 

 

Rights of women and others are of concern, and introduction of medieval laws (stonings and amputations) desired by Taliban is simply unacceptable in modern times we are living in.

So it will be interesting to see how the world deals with this new situation.

Rules of the Taliban for Women: (This will be a concern for UN)

• Women should not be seen on the street unattended without a blood relative or a burka.

• Since no man should hear a woman’s footsteps, high-heeled shoes should not be worn by women.

• A woman’s voice should not be heard by a stranger when she is speaking loudly in public.

• In order to prevent women from being seen from the street, all windows on the ground and first floors of residential buildings should be painted over or covered with a screen.

• Women are prohibited from having their pictures taken, filmed, or displayed in newspapers or books or in stores or at home.

• To remove the word “women" from any place names.

• Women are not allowed to appear on their balconies.

• Women are prohibited from appearing on radio, television, or in any public gathering.

It is and can be found in 2 Timothy 3:13. It is a screw up world sis.

This is interesting (comes from Australian government)

 

Mr Joyce described the Taliban as "barbaric regime" which would take Afghanistan "back to the middle ages."

"This battle I believe is not finished, it's got to take another iteration otherwise we say that that form of ideology is sustainable and allowable,” he said.

“And we can't do that."

Did they stay too long or leave too early - same question still asked by those involved in Vietnam? It's good we are neutral and we have no opinion.

 

Death and oppression are always sad.

From 1955 to 1973 the US fought a war in Vietnam. Finally the government realized they couldn't win that war and withdrew its troops. In 1975, when the enemy army finally captured the city of Saigon, all the remaining American personnel had to be evacuated in a hurry, as you can see in the picture to the left.

 

The US government did almost exactly the same thing again in Afghanistan. Joined a war they had no way to win and in the end had to withdraw their troops and evacuate their personnel in the last minute, as you can see in the image to the right.

Oh ok 

[hatcheckgirl]

I can't look at the news reports.  Because the barbarism of Satan's world is so undescibably cruel.  I know many innocents will die in this conflict, and it makes me too emotional.  With everything that is happening now and going to happen in the future, it's so good to know Jehovah will resurrect such ones.  This is the time to really trust in him and his promises.

 

Is 30:15 Your strength will be in keeping calm and showing trust - so, so appropriate for our time now.

Same thing that happened for the hundreds of years before hand - tribalism and relative stability (albeit with serious oppression of women). There will be scattered wars by warlords as they grow in power and influence. 

 

I don't believe there are any JWs there. If there are it's likely they'll be beheaded along with any other who claim to be Christian in this extreme Islamic state.

Omgoodness 😱 are you serious ??that’s absolutely discouraging and Disgusting

i can’t even imagine that….

[trottigy]

Let's just say - it's EXTREMELY unlikely that ANY "Christian " organization did any proselytizing in that country. 

 

As an example,  look at its stable neighbor - Pakistan.  There are 220 Million people and 1,000 JWs TOTAL. And they are a much more secular Islamic country. Afghanistan has been extremely unstable,  but extremely Islamic for hundreds of years.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said Sunday in a briefing for Senators that terrorist groups like al Qaeda could reconstitute in Afghanistan sooner than the two years defense officials had previously estimated to Congress because of the recent, rapid Taliban takeover of the country, according to a Senate aide briefed on the comments.Here is also concern a Taliban takeover will further the humanitarian crisis in the country and lead to a resurgence of al Qaeda, which promised in April a war "continuing on all other fronts" against the US.
