The murderers are right!

by Fadeout in

over the years there have been a few news stories about some "crazed" jw man or woman that kills their family because they don't want them to be destroyed at armageddon..

wts teaching is that anyone who dies in this system, if not irredeemably evil (hitler), will be resurrected in the new system.

wts teaching is also that those who are not evil but merely indifferent, disfellowshipped, children having unbelieving parents, etc., will be destroyed very soon, and that this destruction is permanent, with no hope of resurrection..

I think the reason most don't do it, is the consequences.
Sure, you give your relatives (or whomever you kill) a good chance of living forever, but you give up your own shot at it.

Single Ministerial Servants and Elders...

by B_Deserter in

i'm sure this has been touched on before, but i just thought about it tonight.

i was thinking about the appointment of ministerial servants (deacons) and elders (bishops) in the kingdom hall.

the watchtower society runs down the list of requirements in acts, that they must be good examples, pure, etc.

In the 3 congregations I was in over the course of being in the Borg.
each of them had at least 1, sometimes 2 single elders.
Perhaps it is just in your experience, or maybe I am the one who has the odd experience.

my 9-year-old son looked at the digital clock the other day and pointed out that the digits 4, 5, and 6 have something in common not shared with the other digits.

can you guess what it is?
