  Supposing Armageddon came tomorrow and I was destroyed, I believe there are those would be ready and willing to assist in caring for any child in need of a home just as my parents did when they adopted me. I in turn would be willing to take children in if need be. I also believe God can and will provide for all of his followers young and old. I am not worried about how he will do so.--adelmaal.

  Do you realize how many Godless parents there are in the world? Since those who survive Armageddon will be God-fearing people only, which, as you surely must agree are by far in the great minority, surely you don't expect that the survivors should shoulder the responsibilities that you yourself asked for when you lay there with your husband and agreed to conceive a child?

  I'm not interested in playing your silly game.

  This is no game. You've stated that you know the real reason for the WTS committing bestiality with the UN, but you choose not to disclose that information.--catchthis.

  That's how rumors get started. I never said what you've claimed here that I said. For a fact I do know the real reason for the WTS having become an NGO, but you're not one who can appreciate such a reason, and that's why I choose to not inform you of what that reason was. So, yes, you are playing a silly game.

  Schizm, shouldnt you be getting ready for the memorial? I'm sure you don't want the Watchtower's digusting unnatural oral sex act with the wild beast of Revelation running through your head while you make a mockery Christs gift of everlasting life tonight.. no?

  Let me see if I got this right... If an athiest family living in the USA has a 4 year old child which has never been given the opportunity to learn about God will be destroyed at armageddon, then what about the young Jewish child living in Israel whose parents have taught him what they can about fearing and worshipping God? The Jewish child would also be destroyed, correct? If the Jewish family had never been witnessed to, they are still birdseed according to the JW beliefs.

  Yes, there are plenty of godless parents in this world.

  I believe those who survive Armageddon (if there is an Arageddon) will be God-loving people and I believe there are plenty of people who love God. I do not believe that God loving people are by far in the great minority. IMO religion and the Bible would not be such hot topics if there were a shortage of God-loving people. Jesus would not be so well known...

  I have accepted the responsibilities of raising my children to love God and their neighbors. I know that there are some who do not take responsibility for their children. But I am shouldering my responsibility and yes I am willing to help raise other people's children should the need arise. I have no issues with that. I believe that God-loving people are selfless and not selfish.

  Jesus already shouldered the burden for all of us. He did not have to do that, I did not expect him to and yet he was truly selfless. He has already made it possible for Christians to enter the Kingdom of God regardless of age. It's our individual hearts that matter. It's our love for him and for God that matters.

  God has already made the provision for our salvation and I do not believe Jesus' sacrifice was discriminatory. It was for all mankind who chooses to benefit from it young and old.

  Yes, I do know what they claimed. And, no that isn't my "big secret". And, yes, I'm very definitely suggesting that "they are withholding the real reason they were involved with the UN." And, as I've already said: It was nothing more than "theocratic warfare," waged for a purpose that I won't disclose to you.

  Why should we believe you that it 'was nothing'? Your "take my word for it" attitude is very JWish. You don't even go to meetings, yet you have INSIDE information? Give over! Why don't you go to meetings?

  Proof of how rumors get started:

  Actually, you did take offense. You said that it was not the official witness position that kids would be destroyed at Armageddon....--jeanniebeanz.

  After Catchthis read what you said, he stated:

  JW's teach that children will be killed if they are not associated with JW's in some way. Period. Always taught that, always will.--catchthis.

  Obviously Catchthis hadn't read the entire thread, and was just going on what Jeannie stated.

  Smart, eh?

  How presumptuous of you to tell me that I am not one who could appreciate such a reason. Speaking out about the WTS/UN affair was one of the main reasons why I was df'd. So yes, I am one who would very much appreciate hearing about the real reason. Who knows? Hearing about the real reason may get me to repent of my past transgression and have me come back to the org.

  But since you are able to read my true heart condition --- "you're not one who can appreciate such a reason" --- I can understand why you would still refuse to dislose the real reason. It's simple. You do not know yourself.

  Funny how this game is played, dontcha think?

  The refusal to disclose a matter doesn't prove that the person "doesn't know himself". From here on out you'll be playing your "game" all by yourself.
