It's like JWs run a time scam they say give us all your time now and God will reimburse you later - after you have died - and he has resurrected you - at some undisclosed time and place - in the future - we promise 😉.

What is the benifits to living forever?
by Jayk incan anyone give me a valid reason for it?
growing old is a drag.
the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..

No. Beauty contestants want "peace on earth" JWs want mass destruction of all non-JWs!
Buyer beware!

I 'm not gonna judge how you handle yourself around an old "friend." I'll just say yep, he in a cult.
Maybe apostates everywhere should ask cart people everywhere "can you prove to me this isn't a cult?"

Ironically the knowledege that we will run out of time gives value and meaning to the limited time we have.
If time was endless would there be an imperitive to get anything done?
Maybe living forever would eventually make us ungrateful lazy apathetic procrastinators.

Please explain the Watchtower's "Ransom" for me

In WTworld there is a fourth party involved in the "ransom" the mediator's mediator and that would conveniently be WT itself!
Even though the ramsom was paid you still have to earn your right to a sucky conditional salvation by dedication and works to this mediator's mediator for the term of your natural life and even then your salvation is iffy!
Even though when JC was being executed he promisd his fellow execution buddy beside him who was not a follower of his that they would be together in a "paradise" after their death.

Do you talk differently now to non-Witnesses?
by compound complex inyou, a jw:.
"how're you doing, mary?
" joe witness asks the grocery clerk.. "not so good, joe.

Yes, I do.
When I see witnesses now I ask how their non-JW or DF/inactive kids, spouse or family are. I mention each of them of them by name but only in the context of how they are doing as people nothing borg related at all.
You know the ones they never talk about and you're not supposed to ask about.
They look at me like "why are you asking about them for when you know they're NOT in the truth!" LOL.
Oh the horror! I'm a wicked woman.

Is she being evasive for a reason ($$$)???
I always thought it would be in WT's interests to buy the rights to the book and pay her to not talk about it so it never sees the light of day again.
