The irony of a known and admitted draft dodger implementing a draft is beyond rich.

 

And, we also get bonus hypocrisy: It applies to green-card holders, refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented men. Wait, didn't the President's campaign to abolish birthright citizenship rely on the assumption that green-card holders, refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants aren't subject to US jurisdiction?

 

If people cannot see the accuracy and truthfulness of Jeremiah 10:23, they are spiritually blind.

I know the young ones in the world esp are thinking about that hypocrisy. 

 

Thank you for the reminder Sister Justinah of our neutrality and how it could slide and stay close to Jehovah.

1st Samuel Chapter 8 has always quickly come first to my mind  as a reminder -stay neutral.

Curious statement made at the Circuit Assembly with Branch Representative today.  BTW - Was anyone else there?  Mira Loma Assembly Hall. We had Joel and Ivy Taylor from Patterson.

 

The statement was made during the second talk of the symposium, "Become Watchful, and Strengthen the Things Remaining".

 

The local brother was reviewing "the things remaining", such as 1 Thess 5:3 etc.  Then he said "And Russia has been identified as the King of the North, while the King of the South is NATO and its allies".

 

It's hard to imagine that he misspoke to that degree. Although it's possible he meant to say "While the King of the South is the Anglo-American world power and their NATO allies".   Maybe he skipped an entire line of his manuscript.

 

The last talk was the Branch Representative and he reviewed all the talks.  I was literally waiting for him to clarify what the brother intended to say.  But, no.

We just finished the first assembly for this year.

I understand what you feel. But, maybe he didn't notice what he said. We are imperfect. Let's widen our understanding with one another.

The Slave will never share new light or a clarification of beliefs in such a way that only a very small number of Witnesses hear the adjustment first. Even if a speaker knows there is an adjustment, he will deliver current information and allow the Slave to introduce the adjustment at the time they choose. 

 

The Slave is the channel.  We all hear adjustments at the same time. In years past it was in the Watchtower or a convention release. In recent times it's been at the Annual Meeting. 

 

On the other hand, that is what allies do. They follow the leader.

Phillipians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well-spoken-of, whatever things are virtuous, and whatever things are praiseworthy, continue considering these things.
