Un Combating Religious Intolerance.

[shikinah]

I found this posted on the Jehovah Witness News, the witnesses still dont realise that the UN have a sinister plot for a one world religious order, similar to Ancient Babylon and that religious intolerance wont just be against the Jehovah witnesses but anyone not conforming to the UN's global agenda, i think realisms starting to kick in.

It probably slipped most people’s notice. It wasn’t a “big” story. It was a little routine vote at the United Nations on a resolution called “Combating Defamation of Religion”. It passed…

One U.S. Ambassador commented a few weeks ago how divisive this issue is: “The resolution could criminalize free speech,” and that “it’s a cover for criminalizing domestic free speech.”

The resolution is non-binding. There’s no international body to enforce it. But it does set a tone of what is and is not acceptable. The U.S. official said, it would give countries the ability to pass anti-free speech laws if it criticizes a religion, it would make it difficult to proselytize or share your faith unless you practice a State approved faith, or could make you fear changing your religion.

But you say, “That can’t happen”, or “that would be ludicrous”. The fact is, it’s already happening. Christians and other minority religions in predominantly Islamic areas or countries are being persecuted to barbaric levels. Reports from Nairobi, Kenya say that one aid worker was beheaded in September for converting from Islam to Christianity; the Iranian government has already passed a bill calling for execution on the basis of apostasy (anyone converting from Islam to another religion), and of course we’ve seen the violence that erupted over the Danish cartoon of the prophet Mohammad.

In Islamic countries, blasphemy laws are used as a shield to protect the dominant religion, but even more dangerously, they are used to silence minority religious believers and prevent Muslims from converting to other faiths, which is still a capital crime in many Islamic countries.”

As stated in the beginning, the resolution passed. But support may be waning. There were fewer ‘yes’ votes than last year, as more members call attention to what they see are the resolution’s defects. Meanwhile the European Union has introduced its own version focusing on Religious Tolerance.
In the end, the Combating the Defamation of Religion resolution is one more brewing pot that may contribute to the violent eruptions boiling up all over the world. Not paying attention to them will often leave of us in the position of cleaning up the mess afterwards. A good piece of cooking advice applies here… that is, “A watched pot, never boils.”

Hello Elizabeth-

Well, contrary to the comment, even a watched pot eventually boils. We all know this is the direction that we should expect things to take with increasingly restrictive measures to eliminate any opposition. As with the beheading, we can expect the consequences of opposition to be severe. None of this should be a surprise to any here.

The real problem for Witnesses is that they have been told (and seem to agree) that Babylon the Great has already been destroyed, when it has only recently begun to develope. This article shows that it is taking shaped as speak. The Witness ark is probably going to sink on them and noone has taught them how to swim.

For those of us who see the problem need to be ready to abandon ship at a moment's notice, or board a different ship now. We need to take Jesus words in Matthew 24 seriously. In the first century the tribulation spoken of in verse 21 was primarily a tribulation on the Jewish system, not the entire world of that time. It was a system that needed judging for following the traditions and doctrines of men. Now, it the entire Christian system that will be judged, not the entire world. The overwhelming majority of those calling themselves Christian are nothing like the person Christ called his followers to become. As a result, they will be judged. That includes JWs. They have fallen into the same traps as the rest of Christendom by becoming adultresses with the world and following the traditions and doctrines of men.

No organization is going to make it through to the new system, only individuals who wholeheartedly repent of any wrongdoings and who do the will of the Father. That means listening to what Christ had to say and doing it. Christ said at Matthew 7:23-27: "Therefore everyone that hears these sayings of mine and does them will be likened to a discreet man, who built his house upon the rock-mass. 25 And the rain poured down and the floods came and the winds blew and lashed against that house, but it did not cave in, for it had been founded upon the rock-mass. 26 Furthermore, everyone hearing these sayings of mine and not doing them will be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. 27 And the rain poured down and the floods came and the winds blew and came and the winds blew and struck against that house and it caved in, and its collapse was great." We can make the choice now to be doing what is required of us. We may not escape the "sword" or incarceration, but if we lose our life for righteousness sake, we have the sure hope of a resurrection.

Thank you Molly for that explanation, its frightening to think that interpretation can be so far off, and instead of looking at themselves they have been busy watching the so called downfall of babylon the great. Yes the Rock mass scripture says it all.
