Currently listening: A Confession by Leo Tolstoy 📚 Another great book! Certainly, it is a book that all people should read! Be careful, it might change the way you see the world!
Um dos conceitos que eu achei mais interessantes no #livro “The Slavery of Our Times”, de Leo #Tolstoy, foi o da violência organizada. A clareza com que se vê este problema, o da violência organizada de governos e governantes e a perpetuação da escravatura nas nossas sociedades, é esclarecedora, estonteante e representativa duma mente que lida com valores humanos superiores! #Livros #Books #Incunábulos

Para pensar… Male inequality, explained by an expert | Richard Reeves
Por aqui, ouço o despertar dos passarinhos… E vou pensando que tenho de passar para o papel estes meus pensamentos e sentimentos, sob a forma de histórias, pequenos farrapos de vida dum ser que ama - talvez demais - tudo e todos à sua volta… Talvez dê um livro que ninguém queira ler ou um que faça sorrir apenas uma pessoa, por pensar que, afinal, não está sozinha neste mundo… Há outros que sentem, que doem do mesmo modo.

A very good read on #Anarchism.
[…]to govern is to exploit. By defying these officious outsiders, capital and labor communicate among themselves without intermediary. As soon as they communicate, they know each other, and when they know each other, they join; for we only make war here below because we do not know one another. Anselme Bellegarrigue

Noam Chomsky diz sobre a inteligência artificial: “A mente humana não é uma máquina estatística gananciosa de centenas de terabytes de dados para obter a resposta mais plausível a uma conversa ou a uma questão científica, como o ChatGPT e similares. " Pelo contrário. “a mente humana é um sistema surpreendentemente eficiente e elegante que trabalha com uma quantidade limitada de informação. Esforça-se por gerar explicações e não por danificar as ligações que surgem dos dados. [… ] ] ] Por isso, deixemos de dizer “Inteligência Artificial” e chamemos-lhe o que é e passemos a chamá-lo “Software Plagiat” porque “não cria nada, copia as obras de artistas existentes e modifica-as o suficiente para fugir às leis dos direitos de autor”. Este é o maior roubo de propriedade intelectual registado desde que os colonizadores europeus chegaram a solo nativo americano. " Noam Chomsky, New York Times - 8 de março de 2023

This is the story of an anarchist soldier who was willing to sacrifice his own life for the freedom of the oppressed people of Ukraine. Anarchists don’t like violence, but they don’t shy away from it when it comes to stand for the people’s rights! #books #war #Ukraine #anarchists
ANYONE who sensors ANY book or the dialogue about it is doing a far worse job than any idea that it may convey! That’s using violence and oppression against other fellow human beings to impose their own views or agenda! It doesn’t help humanity to evolve, learn with their errors, and build a better future together! #books #censorship

Não se esqueçam do que está escrito em Gálatas 1:8 “No entanto, mesmo que um de nós ou um anjo do céu vos declare como boas novas algo além das boas novas que vos declarámos, que ele seja amaldiçoado.”

A Organização tem defendido, desde há décadas, que a ONU, a Organização da Nações Unidas, é “a fera” do livro de Revelação/Apocalipse.
Ora, não será curioso verificar que, desde 1991 até 2001, a “Organização de Deus na Terra” esteve associada a ela?!
É verdade! E essa verdade pode ser confirmada através duma breve leitura do livro “Jehovah’s Witnesses and The United Nations, How the Watchtower Society fooled millions” de Tami Dickerson. São 80 páginas de preciosa investigação e documentos que o comprovam!
Não deixem de ler a Bíblia e de fazer a vontade de Deus! Porém, não se deixem enganar por homens que se servem do nome de Deus para enganar outros seres humanos! Investiguem!
Bem hajam!
Para podermos fazer qualquer escolha é necessário estarmos na posse de informação que nos esclareça as dúvidas que possamos ter relativamente ao alvo da nossa escolha. Em relação à obtenção dessa informação, eu ainda sou daqueles que sabem que não há melhor que uma boa leitura sobre o assunto para obter essa informação.
Recentemente li um livro que me deixou plenamente esclarecido quanto à verdadeira natureza da Torre de Vigia, a Organização que está por detrás das Testemunhas de Jeová. O livro em causa chama-se Crise de Consciência e foi escrito por Raymond Franz, “ex-membro do Corpo Governante das Testemunhas de Jeová [que] provê uma visão exclusiva da estrutura de autoridade dessa religião. O livro dá ao leitor uma perspectiva das reuniões para tomada de decisões do conselho interno da religião e do poderoso, e às vezes, dramático, impacto que suas decisões exercem sobre as vidas das pessoas. Embora escrito inicialmente em 1983, o livro revela um padrão distintivo e básico, o qual, como mostra a informação atualizada nesta nova edição, permanece essencialmente inalterado.”
O livro pode ser descarregado aqui e irá mostrar que o amor de Deus nada tem a ver com a Organização Torre de Vigia e a forma como ela é gerida pelo seu Corpo Governante.
