Haven't the slightest clue!
There's no answer to this question. If there will be an armageddon, let's worry about obtaining God's favor, and then worry about the rest when the time comes.

How precisely will god save the JWs at armageddon?
by kid-A inhave you ever wondered, based upon the artists conception below, how it is jehovah will supposedly "save" the witnesses during his "great day of vengeance(tm)".
i mean, will he transport all 6 million of them into waiting cruise ships while he is throwing fireballs onto the earth?
how will all the dubs avoid falling into those giant crevasses as he starts the continental earthquakes?

Homosexuality at Bethel
by Sam the Man inwhilst at london bethel, i witnessed this first hand.
i know that it went on there.
those from brooklyn bethel (i understand that there are a few ex brooklyn bethelites here), the question i have for you is 'did you witness/hear of any over your side of the pond?

Either homisexuality is practiced in Brooklyn/Patterson Bethel, or there are just far too many effeminate guys over there! Of this I'm certain.

Being raised a witness has it's benefits...
by Princess ini actually have several reasons why i don't resent my witness upbringing, but it sure came in handy today.. last year i posted about helping 50 kids run in the seattle kids marathon at my daughter's school.
the event was a blast and while it was a ton of work, seeing the joy on the kids' faces when they crossed the finish line made it all worth it.. this morning i spoke to the entire student body at my daughter's school at their monthly spirit assembly.
if i hadn't been raised a witness, giving talks from the time i was five, i never would have attempted such a thing.

I get your point and agree with you.
Also, having been brought up as a JW taught me to dress nicely for different occasions, to be disciplined, respectful of my elders, courteous, have courage in the face of opposition, avoid smoking and drugs, learned to read/write/speak Spanish perfectly by the mere fact of having attended so many meetings/assemblies/events with the Spanish crowd, etc.
Yes, there are many, many benefits to have been brought up a JW, although I'm not a very good 'practicing' one.
It's not ALL bad.

Does the sadness ever leave?
by pc inhi everyone, haven't posted for awhile.. i am probably just rambling tonight( a few glasses of great red wine) so pardon me.
every once and awhile i just have such great sadness that begins to permiate my thoughts.not just for me but for everyone who has walked this path.
i happen to have a pretty great life, but sometimes this deep sadness rises up in me for all the things that might have been.

Where Is Paradise?
by Honesty inthe wtbts says it is on earth.
however, an examination of the 3 scriptures that mention paradise raises questions as to the validity of the wt's claims.
for instance, at luke 23:43 jesus tells the criminal beside him that he (the criminal) will be with him (jesus) in paradise.

Do Must Dubs Have Pre-Marital Sex?
by tall penguin init's not often talked about but in my experience a lot of witnesses have sex (or something like it) during their courtship.
and most of them never go to the elders about it.
recent case in point: my dear friend got married this past summer.

I wouldn't say most, but a pretty large group does.
And, NO, these couples never come clean about it and go on to have weddings in the KH as if they were morally clean.
People aren't stupid, though. Most other JWs know when a couple has gotten too familiar with one another, ahem, if you know what I mean.
I told you all before about this young couple that got married last year in one of the local congregations. I knew it, just knew it that they're having pre-marital sex but of course couldn't prove it. Sure enough, 6 1/2 months later here comes a beautiful 10 lbs. baby boy. Of course the family all said the baby was born prematurely. YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The father elder and the mother pioneer both lost their privileges because it was determined that they knew of the pre-marital sex but covered it just to have the daughter have a lavish KH wedding with all the trimmings.
Time has passed and everybody is back reinstated to their privileges and everybody is one big happy family once again.
