in jw theology, what happens to adam and eve?
are they resurrected and become heirs to paradise on earth?
or will they become two of the heavenly class?
ok ok--enough about adamneve already....
now--what about the snake ? i reckon it played a big part in human history--so--it deserves a resurrection.
the big question is--will it grow its legs back ? how many did it have ? 2 or 4 ?
i think a talking snake standing on 2 legs would be pretty cool. i would pay good money for it.
has anyone else noticed how alarm bells go off inside a jw mind as soon as they hear someone that "is out" refer to the leaders of this org as "watchtower"?
i've chatted with a few friends now about my doubts and each and every time i've started using phrases such as "watchtower said this" or "watchtower did that", i can almost see their heads about to explode in anger, as if they've just realized they are talking to the lucifer himself.
some have even interrupted and corrected me by reminding me that it's not "watchtower", it's "god's organization".
i prefer to say "the watchtower cult".
i think it shows where i stand.
"if you are a young person you need to face the fact you will never grow old in this system of things.. why not?
because all the evidence in fulfilment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years...as a young person you will never fulfil any career that this system offers".
may 22 awake!
hmm 1969.
i was 21--not long married-- a min servant---the magazines--ge
rrr----still wasting my life pioneering--but not for much longer!.. i quit the cult in 71.
according to the org's website, various congregations will be moving in with other congregations, effective january 1st 2017.
(i've only highlighted a couple) in all probability, their own k.h.
is/has been sold.
can just imagine--the WTs make a congregation sell their hall--and hand over the wedge------then they have to rent a place--and pay for it themselves. ha ha .
what's is the goal of this religion?.
i mean, if it's for money they could do a lot more like other religions do: tithing, paying for prayers from the gb, selling "miracles", selling "blessed" items, selling courses.. if its for power then what are they hoping to do with that power?
they dont seem to do anything.
i think the jw goal is...to be a witness of jehovah.
which is a man-made name for god. god is also man made.
so...jehovahs witnesses are a bit pointless really.
the wife told me it was more like 20-22 years since i seen or talked to her.but since that visit we.
we have not spoke to one another, not a word.
my family members (not jw) ask me have i called.
SBF--
" It's always a messy mixture of personal and WT policy, "
how very true--ive seen this in my own family. its all about control freakery.
and how long will it last?
and who will come after that, yahweh, as the old testament says or jesus, as the new testament says?
the scriptures say he'll come to the mount of olives, but surely that's a spiritual mount of olives.
Mr Quick---
" Keep in mind that during this last generation,"
err--do you mean overlapping last generation , brother ?
i've taken the bible lessons but have never attended a kingdom hall.
i was curious as to what point they begin to tighten the screws of control?
let's say you're a baptist.
ehh ? you joined this site 10 years ago--posted 100's of times--but managed to avoid attending a kingdumb hall in that time. wow
why ?
for my first shunniversary i reached out to the local ex-dubs that i know.
i invited 11 total to join me in a little get together at a local restaurant, then back to my house to hang out.
one friend asked if he could invite others, and i encouraged him, and all, to do so.
from my experience--apart from the cult--i have very little in common with most ex dubs. i have met quite a number at get togethers over the years.
how many people really want to share past experiences in the cult ? most want to forget about it and move ahead with their lives.
one hundred years have passed and the society still supports this lie, which of course, is the basis of their other lies, like that of the unfaithful and not discreet slave appointed in 1919. however, i wonder, what will happen after 50 years, when the overlapped generation will pass?.
and if you want, what will happen with this religion in 2100?, could it survive with the same lie??
?.
It was the date when war broke out in heaven and Satan and his angels were hurled into the vicinity of the earth, Jesus was crowned King and began ruling over a New Heavens and a New Earth. Have you no eyes, man?
oh--thats good to know. so jesus is now ruling over a new earth. cool.
