FYI Some great shows with a heaven and hell theme are The Good Place and Lucifer (Netfix).

Hell Exists
by Poppy520 inmany people of all denominations are beginning to believe that hell does not exist - but the bible supports the claim that it does.
examine this verse, one under nkjv and the other nwt:.
nkjv - matthew 25:46, "and these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.".

Reposting old posts as new
by steve2 ini cannot find the report feature on the forum or has it been removed?.
in the past week or so poster jehovah lol appears to have re-posted as new his topic on jw talk.
i have checked and the posts are identical - perhaps not a big deal, but it's a little like internal spam.

gb, PLEASE, PLEASE UP THE ORGANIZATIONAL HARSHNESS IN 2018
by steve2 insometimes i have expressed a longing for jw organization to tone down its rhetoric and become, well, nicer and more loving.
i have not been alone in my hope.
some posters have even said that if a wave of kindness washed over jw organization and, say, the shunning doctrine was modified (e.g., left up to the individual's conscience without fear of retribution from elders), they'd go back.

Speaking for myself, it's only when shit got really painful within my congregation that it finally forced me to look at the whole org more critically. Truth is if things had stayed "nice" and "lovely" I'd still be there. I wish I could say it was my superior intellect (lol) that was the catalyst for re-examination and subsequent change but it wasn't it was pain, the cold hard reality of pain that started the process and then my intellect got on board.

I've observed that how intrusive the elders are depends a lot on the individual elders and the individual JW. As Toesup said if you give them a firm "no, talk to the finger" when they try it on they jog on.
There are some people though that seem to be targeted by bodies of elders for the slightest infraction, they watch and wait for the person to screw up so they can df their arse out of there. While some other person, usually some smarmy suck-up with connections could be Jack the ripper himself and the elders would be completely blind, deaf and dumb to them.
