the jw's are quick to tell you that when jehovah has finished kicking the ass of those who do not acknowledge the teachings of the watchtowers governing body in new york state, that those who survive will live forever in a restored paradise on earth.

the same goes for those who are resurrected during the 1000 year reign of jesus and survive satan being let loose "for a little while" at the end.. they are also quick to tell you that everything will be just as it was for adam and eve before the latter decided she needed a fruit fix and then got her hubby high on it as well.. and when you view the illustrations in their publications showing what they view this paradise to be, it shows a world of lush color.

the deep greens of all the trees and grass, the clean blue skies, puffy white clouds and tables covered in a plethora of fresh fruits and vegetables representing just about every major color.

This question was raised by a friend of mine before. The reply was: "It is not for us to speculate"

What is the wackiest or strangest teaching that Witnesses adhere to?

by stuckinarut2 in

i guess there are many, but what would be the strangest teaching, or "wackiest" ?.

Millie, perhaps that was their old understanding? Cos their current understanding is "It is not for us to judge who is saved & who is not"

New method of appointing Regular Pioneers!

by stuckinarut2 in

a new arrangement for appointing regular pioneers has been announced.. in the past, a person would have to fill in a form from the society, this would have to be approved by the local elders, then this would be sent to the branch for final approval and appointment.. now it is just the local elders that approve it.

it doesn't need the branch approval any more.. they are selling it as a way to "speed up the process in order to be more effective in the ministry during these urgent times blah blah".

Da.Furious must be referring to auxiliary pioneers

giving honor to an individual question (wt style)

by carla in

obliette posted a thread about gb worship in the july 15 issue which got me thinking-.

in other smaller books which i have only seen skimmed quickly (i think the yearbooks (?

)) they often have articles about various jw's and their struggles and now the articles about the gb members and so on, my question is; why don't they see these articles as giving too much honor to one individual as they do with birthdays?.

"why not use parables that start with "once there was a man/woman who......."?"

Once, there was a man/woman who came up with a stupid statement comparing personal experiences with birthdays...
