JW's will NOT like the first months of life in the Paradise! (University Research)
by fulltimestudent inhave you ever wondered (when you were an active believer) what life would be like immediately after the big a?.
in my experience of the pre-big a spiritual paradise most witnesses were aware of the problem posed by the dead bodies of those slain by the bloody minded, would-be mass murderer jesus.
most liked to quote the author of the revelation, that carrion birds would eat the carcasses.

They may all be turned into pillars of salt.
or
Did not Franz suggest Jehovah using anti-matter? Much better for all involved. Maybe Jehovah can anti-memory minds so JW's will not even remember them. The former things have passed away, not rotted away.

Long time no see
by caballoSentado inhi friends,.
checking the board after a long time... here is an update (my native language is spanish, so bear with me)... my daugter is now 18 and officially a commercial pilot!, she got her dreams fulfilled... my oldest son (an industrial engineer) in living and working for a big bank in canada (toronto) after studying a master in admnistration there, and my other son is doing very well and now owns two companies (he studied economics in one of the best universities in my country, perú)... i have just returned from a travel all over europe with my dear wife (30 days, 12 countries and 20+ cities)... so we left the jw in 2001 over the un scandal... and here we are.
have a nice day all of you.

How does an 18 year old qualify to be a commercial pilot? I hope she just transports cargo and not people.

Serious Problems Between Elders
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara inever encountered or eyewitnessed problems escalating, arguements and rows between elders right at the kh anyone?.
one such experience was just before the meeting was about to start,we heard raised voices from the second room between two elders.
a minute later two other elders went into the room and we could all hear that they were trying to cool the situation down with whatever was going on in there.

i was treading on eggshells around that elder for weeks.
i would have been the same way when I attended. Now? I would have ripped a strip off his hide and he would be treading on eggshells around me, for a very long time.

Why is Jesus Depicted as the Warrior at Armageddon on just a Horse with a Bow and Arrow ?
by RubaDub ini never understood this.
the wt depicts jesus, the all powerful one to destroy evil, being depicted as using a bow and arrow from a horse.
that seems like something from medieval times.. in todays world of nuclear bombs, precision laser directed bombs and advanced military technology, does a bow and arrow really put a fear into anyone?.

Just a bow and arrow.
When a bullet goes into a human body, that is gruesome. But, by God, when an arrow goes into a person, that is beyond gruesome. I have seen it and it is not easily forgotten.

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Bother You At All?
by minimus ini faded from the religion and simply didn’t go back.
once people understood that my family and i left, people in the congregation didn’t know what to do.

Is this not to be welcomed?
Did Jesus not say, " ...Happy are you when people persecute you"?

CG : My question now is,how many of those talks are now obsolete?
I know one for sure. The first one I gave in 1970, "The Appointed Times of the Nations Have Been Fulfilled".
I can still remember all the scriptures to prove 1914 was the pivotal year though I cannot recall anything about overlapping generations. It was an exciting time for me. I was only 18 at the time. Burned into my memory like a first kiss.
Yup, I'm quite sure that public talk is obsolete. If I had started talking about an overlapping generation, and explained it with a chart, I would have been thrown out the front door.
