  ANNIHILATIONISM VS ETERNAL TORMENT ??

  by Raphael in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  a question aimed at those of you who have become christians , after your jw experiences.... how many still believe that the soul of those not saved will cease to exist at death.... personaly i believe we are multi dimensional beings - we are spirit/soul and body.... i would suggest that god can destroy body/soul and spirit and that the references to eternal torment are figurative and not literal.... a very well known christian writer " john stott", who is an evangelical christian shares these views.... .

  i'm intersted in how others who still believe feel about this ?

  I've begun to think about the idea that MOST of what we are as humans is invisible or spirit. Our thoughts, emotions, memories , ideas are what make us who we are. The physical body we inhabit seems to me to be a tool of sorts. So I'm leaning toward the idea of an immortal soul.

  I've also talked with people recently who've had near death experiences and their stories are intriguing and the way they then approach life. It seems they have no fear of death and know that something better awaits.

  Ultimately it's all unknown and a matter of faith and I'm sure there's good reason for that.

  OK, I't My Turn As The Newbie

  i'm not sure where to start, probably in two major areas.

  mechanics thing, that can't work, and what i see as the lack of true love in the brotherhood.

  i've been in "the truth" or lack thereof, for about 30 years, give or take a little.

  Welcome Black Pearl !!! Great 1st post--look forward to hearing more.

  I couldn't agree more with your comment about the woman at the store---it's a smile that comes from the heart, where true humanity resides.

  How different from the forced facade we've had to live with.

  the object of the game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls.

  one day i'd like to see a film made ( movie ) about the earlier years of the wts.

  a serious one for the truemovies channel, or maybe a spoof.

  who do you think could ideally play the main roles and what would be a good title?

  The only thing I know is that the WTB$ is wrong. After that I'll refer to Socrates reply when someone told him he was the most intelligent man alive, "If that's true, then it's because I know nothing."
