  christian denominations say we go to heaven, witness say we stay alseep until ressurection.

  quran says when we go we grt 72 virgins, unless we blow some people up.. .

  No. Death is by definition the end.

  Will we ever find out

  Unlikely

  i was publicly reproved last year and the elders have taken their sweet time in reinstating my "privileges".

  it's been six months and i can't answer at the meetings or participate in the theocratic ministry school.

  in all honesty- i don't care about the privileges.

  I was there, with respect to age, situation, elders, direction, etc. Most here understand completely where you're at. You're not alone.

  Work towards getting out. Find out what suites you and what doesn't. Carve out a future.

  Live the life YOU want.

  The greatest invention mankind has produced (besides the printing press) is FALSIFIABILITY.

  I've heard it said the internal combustion engine ranks that high but I'm rather skeptical of this claim.

  Evidence of life after death?

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/life-after-death-largestever-study-provides-evidence-that-out-of-body-and-neardeath-experiences-may-actually-be-real-9780195.html.

  "experts currently believe that the brain shuts down within 20 to 30 seconds of the heart stopping beating and that it is not possible to be aware of anything at all once that has happened.. but scientists in the new study heard said they heard compelling evidence that patients experienced real events for up to three minutes after this had happened and could recall them accurately once they had been resuscitated.".

  how are people having "experinces" while there is no evidence of heart or brain activity?.

  All of these accounts are from living people. They may have been NEAR death, but no one actually died.

  Indeed.

  Cool. An upgrade from the Virgo Supercluster.

  Going on the OFFENSIVE

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the wtbts has an easy time painting x-witnesses as apostates because the direction of information is entirely one way.

  and jws rarely get an opportunity to consider both sides of the equation for themselves.

  i think that websites like this one are a great tool for those who are already questioning their beliefs or are already entirely out.

  As has been mentioned, going on the offensive usually puts people on the defensive and in this situation, will likely raise yer average dub's guard against apostasy.

  People will look for and find their answers when they're ready.

  A Challenge to Apoligists - Why Would a Heavenly Father Kill a Newborn?

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as a father, made in god's love, that has troubled me for a very long time, is that god, as described by the wts, is soon, going to slaughter every, roughly, 7.9 billion people on the planet, because they have figured out a way to come know him as a father according to the wts.. .

  as a father, dear apologist, why would you kill/murder a one-day old baby?.
