konceptual99: I think Searcher has misread some of the info on the org website.
It's a pity that The Searcher doesn't seem to be around any more
i think searcher got rollocked for spamming the site trying to call you out.
the bottom line there is zero tolerance for any homosexual activity in jehovah’s holy organization.
so all known gays had been kicked out and disfellowshipped before i got to bethel and gays got kicked and disfellowshipped and disgraced when i was there.
sorry, i guess i meant most homosexuals were kicked out in disgrace.
who was percy chapman ?
so we know that by jw logic, the idea is that everyone who dies is acquitted of their sin and will get a resurrection in the "new world".
however, those directly destroyed by god, or at his command will not.
(for example, those destroyed in the flood.
nope--i dont want to be resurrected. i might meet my born in, rutherford worshipping., first mother in law. . she is bound to get a resurrection--god wouldnt dare risk leaving her out.

there is usually a metamorphosis that takes place for a person to leave the jehovah's witness religion.
most people do not just up and go simply because they realize this could not be the truth.

what Summer Angel said...+1.
when i quit i must have assumed my wife would follow suit. she didnt. i would go along to the occasional meeting and nisan 14--but no door knocking--praying ( hated that ) or assemblies. that went on for the next 10 years. been totally free of it 36 years now. one son is totally out. another son and daughter--plus their kids--- still in it.
as a jehovah's witness, i was fairly polite, considerate, and well-mannered.after 2 years in federal prison, when i got paroled, something was changing inside of me i did not quite understand.
today, i realize i was an extremely angry person, but i had swallowed my anger.
little by little, working at go-nowhere jobs, my anger and resentment were emerging.i thought i'd share two such stories._______________.
just.......perfect.
so you’re working about forty six hours a week at bethel.

easiest way out for the watchtower is to now say the number 144000 is a symbolic number--meaning a complete number. then we can all join in the fun.
time for nulite guys.

and lets remind ourselves--the 144,000 are male virgins....12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of israel.
er--how do the watchtower guys explain that ?
