Long before the sun dies, humans would have killed themselves off from pure boredom! 10 or 15 lifetimes would be more than enough of this life, even perfected. Seriously. I don't see why I'd suddenly want pet anything's, I don't like animals in the house now! Most of my dead relatives are fonder in memory than reality, and the exceptions wouldn't make it to the new JW world because they rejected the GB authority. Eternal rest is not the worst idea in the world, especially if the alternative is living as a JW for eternity.

Is the WT’s Paradise Earth doctrine a delusion?
by deegee inthe wt’s teaching that humans will live forever on a paradise earth will necessitate that given that there will be no more death, then immortal humans will have to be relocated to other planets in order to prevent the earth from becoming overpopulated.. so how many habitable, earth-like planets are there?more and more habitable, earth-like planets would have to become available on a continuous, never-ending basis ad infinitum as mankind’s population grows given that there will be no more death.. the longevity/sustainability of life on these planets will be limited by the fact that the sun serving these planets will eventually die:https://shar.es/1cko6n.

so immortal humans will have to keep moving from planet to planet.

Can I pick up a New World Translation from the JW London head office?
by Camperdown9 ini'm an anglican and not a jehovahs witness.
what i dislike about lots of church congregations is their readiness to make unpleasant and unhelpful comments about other christian groups.
recently someone in a church tried to tell me a little about the views of jehovahs witnesses.

I am losing
by NoMoreHustle ini haven't posted anything for a bit, but wanted to express how i am losing this battle.
it has been over 3 years now since i woke up about watchtower.
the battle that i am talking about is the tug of war with my wife (i adore her immensely), watchtower is winning, she simply will not give in to my so-called negative thoughts about the religion that we are in.

Do you have to play the game or can you agree to disagree? As spiritual head, you could say you refuse to lead her astray and yet you won't force her out because of your respect and love for her.
Then leave off snarky commentary and pick up a new hobby or language when she's off serving the Borg.
Please don't raise kids in the Borg no matter what! Parents have to put kids first.

What would we all do if the watchtower collapsed tomorrow ?
by stan livedeath ini would probably collapse laughing.

It'd funny, I have seen churches disband because not enough supporters could pay the rent/utilities(uncompensated pastor). Members just joined another church and had to travel a bit more for services. There was disappointment, but not life changing upheaval.
This thread is just a reminder of the fact we were truly in a cult!

Almost three months since Crisis of Conscience Cease and Desist
by ILoveTTATT2 ini am very interested in getting crisis of conscience being fully available as soon as possible.
march 12th will mark exactly three months since the cease-and-desist letter was written.. i understand that things are slow and that deborah may be sick, but i was just wondering if anyone knew the status.
i have been asked twice already where the book can be obtained in spanish and i have told people that the book is not available.. there are ways to make ebooks extremely hard to share.

I hope it's available soon. I appreciate your reasons for feeling urgent. I left around the same time as franz and his book was a validation for me. I got it in 86/7? Wish mom would've read it! When was it first published? I looked so hard for back then! I lived in NYC. Man, that takes me back! -

10 years ago his mom was arrested for putting her grandson in a dog kennel every night for 3 years. That's where he came from. She thought it was the only alternative to the boy running the streets while was at work. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/grandmother-accused-of-locking-grandson-in-dog-kennel-charged

Greg Stafford no longer a JW
by My Struggle inthis may be old news to some while most won't even know who he is.
in case you don't know him, he was a jw that defended many of the jw doctrine publicly.
he did this mainly in the form of two books, jw's defended and three dissertations on the teachings of jw's.

by Randy M. inthis is the finale of my meeting with watchtower's circuit overseer henry turner in an attempt to reach a settlement agreement with some kind of resolution .

Right or wrong, it is easy to see how people are discouraged from reporting to proper authorities.
