Certainly a happier ending than I thought was coming up after reading Part II.

Thank you for posting.

Blondie,

thank you for your help. I do try searching first, both on the CD-rom 2003 and here, so as not to take up others' time but you seem to be so much better at it than me. Or anyone else it seems.

Thanks

When are anointed who die before Armageddon resurrected as per the Watchtower?

by ThomasCovenant in

am i correct in thinking that 'the remnant' and previous anointed who die are instantly resurrected as spirit creatures?.

any quotes from wt literature are appreciated.. thanks.

ThomasCovenant

Thanks for replying. I found this.

'You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth page 173 para 22 says,

''They are the remaining ones, a remnant of the 144,000. When are they resurrected? They do not need to sleep in death, but they are raised immediately when they die.''

The effect of this religion on my children & the action I had to take - Part II

by jambon1 in

i posted this part of the story earlier this week.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/191112/1/the-effect-of-this-religion-on-my-children-the-action-i-had-to-take-part-i.

so we are at the point where my daughter has been taking in my lifestyle for 4 years since she i left the truth when she was just 4 years old.

my son who is a couple of years younger thankfully seems to be immune to most of the indoctrination from the jws.

ThomasCovenant

Thank you very much for posting this.

I would assume that not all children brought up as JW's will feel and think the same way as your daughter did. Thankfully.

However, considering there are millions of children brought up in the same indoctrination, as you say drip fed, then I tend to believe that, statistically, there must be at least hundreds of thousands of children brought up in this religion who will be affected in a similar manner.

It stinks.

Memorial 2010 Your Experiences

by scotinsw in

just got back from memorial.

only went so that i could say to my parents that i had gone and to remind myself why i left.. oh my word!!!

it was sooooo painful.. got there a bit late - it was a couple of minutes into the talk.

''Talk was same old same old - switched off during it.

I did hear the speaker talk about how many attend but so few partake. He then gave numbers for 2009 - shame he didnt mention about the sharp increase in partakers last year!''

EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOURS

(ps not my experience but someone close)
