    We believed we'd see our dear loved ones back on paradise earth. Now, we don't accept this. So what hope do you have? What type of conolation do you give those who have lost loved ones in death?

    I still believe and accept that ALL who have died will be brought back.

    I just don't believe it will be how the WT depicts it.

    As I no longer believe in any god, I no longer believe in any resurection theories.

    My JW wife probably still does. When we lost our first child (aged 4) back in 1975, I started to question god's existence and the JW teachings about resurrection.

    As for me, I'm quite happy to have known our daughter for 4+ years.

    As far as I'm concerned, the 'resurrection hope' is probably one of the strongest reasons why JWs stay in the cult - the prospect of not 'proving faithful' and 'being there' for their resurrected ones in the 'new system' is just too difficult to accept!

    Actually, Mouthy, I said "this'. You quoted me.

    LOL at Minimus and Mouthy.

    You two play nicely now.
