What book is that smiling at armageddon one in, I want to find that one.
Hi SOJ
I think it is from the brochure "Does God Really Care About Us?".
Warm Christian Love

Reason that one sees smiles on the faces of some is because they are JWs.
Hi All,
now that we are no longer slaves of men, you will better understand what we were taught.
Think about this ..
We were NOT taught to really love our neighbor, we were taught we were better then our neighbor.Yep that's the mind set our self righteous leaders taught us.
Sick Huh !
Would Christ true brothers feed us such arrogance?
Certainly not, , the self appointed slave( GB ) are no better then the Pharisees ,
Didn't Jesus say the meek would inherit the earth.
Ps 37:11 Zep 2:3-
Isa 61:1

I lost a very long post!:opps:
Short version:
Never liked the art!
Worry about grandchildren seeing it!
Always shocked at how hardhearted JW's were about those to be destroyed.

You and me both - especially youngsters looking at them. They'll see that sentiment as normal, that it's good and mandatory to smile at suffering, and see themselves as "rightly judgmental" - pure poison for the mind. How on earth did worship ever become so "them and us"? Where has the love gone?
Acts5v29
....even if another is viewed as an enemy; what is Jesus counsel?...to pray for them.
Matthew 5:43...
"Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:
but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;..."
...also a principle is found (imo) in this scripture:
Proverbs 24:17...
"Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown;"

Good scriptures Gogh!:ok::read:The problem is, the leaders in the Ivory tower don't live by the scriptures. :readthis:Just as the Scribes and Pharasees didn't.:( Woe to them,bcause they traverse sea and dry land to make more converts, who will be conned into believing thay have the truth! They will pay dearly for their neglect of the weightier matters of the law!:(
Agape,
