Can anyone help with info to refute only 144,000 going to heaven?

by The Leological One in

i've recently shown my wife this forum (she's a df'd jw who does still hold fast to jw views).

she's been really depressed and feels down on herself constantly because she wasn't a better witness and seems to feel she has no hope of a personal relationship with god now that she's df'd.

i was a little upset a moment ago trying to get her out of her depression by pushing my point of view that the wt is full of $hit regarding a great many number of things, the least of which that only 144,000 people are going to heaven/effectively can be saved.

I do not have the direct information you need but I can tell you deeply love your wife and the story saddens me. This is sigly the biggest reason why I am not an active witness. The whole df thing just drives me nuts. It is so clear that this is not christian love but yet they practice it. DF intent was never to be a form of punishment as it is used today but a method to help the whole. There is a HUGE difference between weakness and being evil. I think if you ever sat down ad read the bible (thankfully I have before becoming a witness) the one thing that you see over and over and over and over again is gods love for us, all of us. I could not sit there with a straight face and df someone because they had a habit of smoking, or comitted fornication because the examples we have from the bible do not support this.

I think if I was in your position show the great acts of love God has shown man and tell her to keep that relationship with god because she does not need man to allow her too.

Sorry that you are going through this.

this is hilarious.

there is actually an audio file you can listen to that the "scientists" allegedly recorded from hell.

it sounds like people screaming from a distance.. they also say that a bat-like being arose from the hole and spoke.. http://amightywind.com/hell/aboutsounds.htm

the other day i was on a site....looking for a certian news clip i had seen where an older news guy get's mad at the news anchor that replaced him on air...anyway a hit came up reading old news anchor and i downloaded it.

after it was done downloading i started playing it.

this guy's handing out things to certain people he calls by name at a press conference.

TheOneBuck

Disgusting.... that is the thing, why package that so little kids can see it (not that I am calling you a little kid :-). I know if my son would have seen that and he was trying to get a Brittney Spears song I would use every networking tool in the world find the SOB who did it and flat out pumple him, after that I would deal with my son for downloading such trash.....

JW at meetings vs. JW at social events

by truth_about_the_truth in

jw
friends

have you noticed how jw switch modes depending on where they are?

they seem a lot more 'normal' at social gatherings than while they are engaged in 'theocratic' activities.. it's like there's a spiritual switch that they turn on and off.

zombie mode/human mode

TheOneBuck

Hahaha yeah they did lie about it a lot. I never did, if I polished a fifth and they asked I would tell them. Getting loopy drunk every now and again does not make you a drunk, but again there are always ones out there who take things way to literally or try to force their opinions on you.... nevermind this could end up being a LONG reply :-)..

Help, I have another friend still in.

i have another friend that's still in the org and she's also drank the jw kool aid big time.

the reason why was they came to her just after her baby died.

she's going through a rough time as it is right now.

TheOneBuck

I know I am new to posting and this will not make me popular right off the back, but why should we interfere with an adult making a decision that may be best for them. I think it is EXTREMELY important that you show her the some of the things that you know about the truth but ultimatley encourage her to be happy. Religion is what it is, it provides hope and security for a lot of people, if this is what will make her happy then do not take that from her. Havig said that after getting all the facts I am sure her decision to become a JW will be less. I think if you and other friends can show her the same amount of love/help as the JW's are right now she might realize she does not need an org to help her fill this void. Summary, be there for you friend she does not need any more turmoil in her liife right now.

Good Luck

im in the window and siding business and one of my good friends told me that his boss needed some windows installed in his home.i met with him and talked about the job and what it would cost him,then i found that he was a pretty interesting guy.he goes on snake hunts in arizona texas etc.he has i believe 20 or so poisonous snakes at his home and is very knowledgable in the ways of the snake so to speak.well i gave him a good deal and he agreed to have the work done.. today we showed up to do the work and i happend to notice his calendar which pointed out the memorial.my friend told me that his father used to be a jw so i thought i would ask.it turns out his dad used to be an ms and either quit attending or was dfd.he never was very involved other than going to the meetings with his dad and i guess just being a kid.. about a year ago a dub came to the door and invited him to the memorial.hes been studying ever since.he says hes been serious lately and the message they send is sounding good to not only him but his wife too,shes now studying.. i couldnt help but mention a few points to him that i have discovered about the truth about the truth.actualy i probobly talked too much.it has only been 4 months since i was floored with the ray franz coc book.to make a long story short he is also wanting to question,has doubts but needs to be shown.

brought him here and he is probobly reading this now,however we were not able to get him logged on to post.. the un thing,blood,false predictions and child abuse are some topics hes interested in .if anyone can help especially simon to give him the ability to post that would be great.i didnt write his addy down when i was there but i will pm with that.please if you all will welcome ray even though he cant post yet.hes good people and doesnt deserve to be mislead by the jws.. please post your responses welcome zorro even though he is not logged yet.he will see them and feel encouraged.. .

Sorry to hear that you are really bothered by this, hopefully you will be able to block it soon. Those videos are very popular and I have no idea why. I can not stand stand seeing people in pain, or getting beat up, murdered etc, but apparently there are several in the world who have no issue with this as this video series has multiple releases. It is really scary that so many people enjoy this, but what is more scary is that it does not suprise me in the least.
