Will the resurrected marry/have children?

by davidmitchell in

i have just finished reading 'brock talon's' two books.

in one of them, entitled journey to god's house, pub.

he comments on how the wt's pictures of the post-armageddon world do not agree with their doctrines, namely that those who are physically resurrected will not marry/have children.

JW's are semi-trinitarians and do not understand the Sacret Secret

by paradisebeauty in

i have been searching pro and anti arguments for trinity, and found out there are anti-trinitarians who believe jesus did not preexist before his human life.

and i am thinking, it kind of makes sense.

what if yahweh created a second adam.

"My personal opinion is that God created a new type of being that somehow can travel between earth ad heaven, Jesus was the first one and the other christians will be transformed in the same type of being at the rapture."

Actually the fallen angels in Genesis chapter 6, before the flood, managed to incarnate themselves on Earth and even have hybrid offspring.

I Don't Get It!

by John Aquila in

there are literally about thirty young single very good looking sisters in this one kingdom hall under the age of 30. that is just one kingdom hall.

in the circuit there are literally hundreds of young beautiful jw girls under 30 who are single and anxious to get married.

about two years ago, this one single good looking brother who is about 30 years old and who is an elder married this plain looking sister who is 59 years old.

Maybe those sisters can marry each other. Some new light might come out on that subject. Either that or polygamy.

OrphanCrow, "I would really like to read that. Would you be able to scan it? Please? Pretty please... "

Orphan, I don't have scanning equipment and if I still have Bergman's booklet it will be buried in a pile of trash in my infernal garage. I will try to look for it though when I have the time. I might make some photocopies and mail them to you if you wish. I'll remember you if I find it and give you a PM.

I spoke to Bergman a couple of times over the phone in the early 1980s when the infamous purge of apostates was taking place. He came across as very resentful of his experience with the JWs (not that I blame him). He did a lot of good serving as an expert witness in JW custody trials. I believe I may still have his booklet on blood transfusion.

Getting it out of my system, a VERY long introduction/outpouring..

by adimmedlight in

warning, novel ahead:.

after a few months of lurking on this site, i've decided to take the plunge...i don't really care so much about introducing myself, but somehow there is some relief in the thought of getting my little story out there, just getting it out of my system.

i am the oldest of 5 kids.

Thank you for sharing that. Stay out of the Witnesses no matter what. If you choose to be a Christian stay out of the right wing conservative's version of it.

Good luck in your quest.

I'd rather have a virgin though there's no guarantee of that even with the youngest sister.

what an interesting find for me

by sowhatnow in

im sure to use this the next time i accidentally get sucked into an argument with someone.

im not ever understanding the idea behind any christian religion picking and choosing what they want to believe and follow, then have the nerve to claim they are right, when clearly this is obviously done.

here is a site that shows not only how bloodthirsty and evil the god of the hebrew bible was, but how more ridiculous it is for jws to follow one twisted 'commandment' about eating blood, not only reading it wrong, but then not to do all the other commandments, willingly , do they think they are ancient israelites ?

jonza, as I said in that post, no further commentary is needed and I'm not the only one to sometimes cut and paste.

jonza, I know by now that you support it but for the sake of the lurkers I present below an excerpt from the article you linked to:

"When God authorizes the nation of Israel to wipe out a people, it is a lawful execution due to their rebellion and sin against God. Furthermore, such an extermination can be seen to be merciful by delivering the young into the hands of the Lord and possibly saving their souls by not giving them time to become "utterly sinful".2 Additionally, further generations that would have arisen from the perverse culture, are likewise prevented from coming into existence and spreading their sin."

[footnote] 2. There is debate on whether or not children are saved if they die early. This paper is not meant to answer that question but to pose a possible reason for God's destruction of the young.

No commentary needed.
