Help with question please: JW teaching on resurrection of infants
by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit in
1. jw

thanks for all the comments and sympathy you have all expressed concerning the loss of my great nephew this weekend, i'm going to print it all and stuff it into a sympathy card for the parents and grandmother.

i'm expecting that my dad-- the great grandpa, and my brother-- the grandpa will speak at the service, unless it's in a church-then they will likely not even show up.

i'm eagerly expecting comments about the resurrection for this 8 mo old.

my great nephew, 8 months old, was killed yesterday.

so far appears to have been murdered by his sitter, a couple with whom my nephew and his girlfriend have been living.

they beat and drowned this little baby.

Did Prayer work for you, or not?
by gaiagirl in
1. jw
2. friends
jws, and christians in genreral, are taught that god answers prayers of sincere believers.

on the other hand, there is a popular bumpersticker which reads "nothing fails like prayer".. what has been your experience in this regard?

did god answer your most heartfelt prayers, or were they ignored?.

Would You Really Want To Live Forever With Dubs?

2. current
here is the hypothetical question of the day - would you, or more appropriately, could you live forever in paradise on earth with jw's?

with the hypocrosy, silly elders, silly people... feeding lions and cleaning up after animals... everyone living by waterfalls, like the jw's always portray in they're psychotic pamphlets..... or would you rather be dead.

i, personally, would much rather be dead.

going through and sorting some pictures from the past decade or two and found these shots from the bethel archive room that i helped create while serving at the canada branch.. this should feed the chronology frenzy for a little while.

i believe these have appeared in the magazines before but just in case.... .

Clergy Mandatory Reporting States
by NowImFree in

2. child-abuse
i have a questions for everyone because i need information per a question from someone on another forum.

this may have been brought up in another post but i haven't found it.

my understanding is that the elders are told to report abuse to the authorities only when it is mandated by state law requiring clergy to report.

Was Pastor Russell a Freemason, really?
by PinTail in
1. jw
2. friends
was pastor russell a freemason?.

by having clearly and plainly discouraged membership in freemasonry, it should be clear that pastor russell was not, nor ever was, associated with the free masons.

those who have accused him have done so with the hope that it will somehow show pastor russell had occult connections, and as a result would invalidate everything he taught.
