  Where Do You Think Your Dear Loved Ones Are?

  by minimus in

  since we were jws at one time, has it influenced your view as to where your dead loved ones are now?

  i know many here do not believe in anything biblical but i’m curious as to whether you believe anyone is in heaven?

  Perry:

  Thanks so much for that link, it's very comforting. I love the concept of our brain being a receptor, a conduit for our 'real' conciousness in the spirit realm. On the similar subject of near death experiences, JWs would always insist such things were the product of mental illness, the subconscious, or demon tricks . . . That Samuel wasn't actually Samuel talking to Saul . . . That Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus were just spiritual holograms . . . That Abraham being in heaven in Jesus' illustration was just creative license . . . In the words of Han Solo in The Force Awakens:

  "It's true . . . All of it."

  I'm sorry minimus, that's understandable.

  I believe there is too much going for the spirit realm to discount it. I don't believe in any iteration of a physical Paradise. If there's to be an afterlife, it's not related to our dimension.

  From the above linked article:

  we have no way of knowing the biases of the fact checkers at Snopes – we simply have to trust

  Disagree. Bias in this case is mostly irrelevant, and likewise trust has little to do with it. Have there been times when I disagreed with their stamp of "True", "False", etc? Absolutely. But that's not really important, as the articles virtually always give the references necessary to reach your own conclusion. I lean towards conservative, but even when they insert subtle digs or irrelevant information I, really anyone with a brain can look past that. And BTW they have defended and debunked many anti conservative rumors as well.

  Snopes fact checks typically do not mention contacting the authors of the articles about those events to see if those reporters claim to have additional corroborating material

  Flat out false. That's pretty standard practice that I've seen in multiple articles.

  Cognitive Dissonance meme

  i find this kind of amusing:.

  a jw social media account recently posted a meme about cognitive dissonance seen here.. .

  and then all the jws in the comment section predictably apply it to those in christendom..

  It applies to everything that it applies to.

  Obviously, but this is the pot calling the kettle black.

  BTW, that's not a meme.

  A meme is anything, usually media of some type, that is passed around in pop culture. Only in recent years has it come to be viewed as a screen shot of a movie, etc. accompanied by an out of context but relatable quip, often using the "Genuine" font. But the definition is larger than that.

  Suggestions for horror/supernatural movies

  by Addison0998 in

  2. entertainment

  hey guys, so now that i’m pretty much atheist and i’m not scared of demons or supernatural things, or bring them into my house by watching movies or reading books about them lol, i defenitly want to watch a few scary movies.

  i’ve always loved scary movies, but as witness, you don’t get to watch many since they need to be pg-13 and have no spiritism in it lol.

  does anyone have any suggestions?

  The 2004 District Convention drama "They Bore Thorough Witness to the Good News" has a scene of a demon exorcisom by Paul. They never released an English video version, but you can download it from JWdotORG in a ton of sign languages. See possessed Mexican sisters convulsing, possessed Japanese sisters, Italian, Canadian . . . The list goes on. The convention audio drama version was never released to the public after the convention, but you can find it online, and they used a creepy overdub for the girl to make it sound like multiple voices are coming out.
