  Remarrying, then paradise =problem?

  by Inisc in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a question i always wondered about and never got an answer to.. its also another reason why i'm finding it harder to believe in an 'afterlife'.. th idea that humans can live forever, now seems so scientificly impossible.. so i wanted to ask all the great minds on here,.

  if someone's spouse dies, and then they remarry,then armageddon comes and goes then the deceased is resurrected,.

  how,is that ever gonna work?

  In all those years with all that printing can they please explain how they have benefitted mankind.

  It seems to me that they have built a gigantic empty pretentious tower of nothingnesss it just exists for it's own sake.

  It's printed meaningless assumptions and opinions for a hundred years directing people on a meaningless path to nowhere.

  They have built up property holdings in order to expand printed material globally ,so what, it doesn't put shoes on feet it doesn't put food in a stomach it just doesn't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy World.

  The only beneficiaries of the Watchtower Corporation are those few at the top who control it nobody else benefits from it .

  Dead God

  by edmond dantes in

  if god decided to kill himself how would we know ?.

  has god terminated his existence already and we don't realise it ?.

  horrible things have been happening to the human race and other creatures for so long how can we tell the difference whether god is alive or dead?.

  All good answers .

  Everything that we think we know about God is pure conjecture ideas of mortal man. Nobody in our life time has had direct communication with the Almighty and it can't be proved that anybody in the past has had any communication with God.

  Figuratively speaking God is not answering the knock on his front door and I have been around the back and still can't get any answer should I presume that he is no longer available for whatever reason? Has God left the building was he ever in the building to begin with?

  Should I put a letter through his letter box saying "Will have to assume you are long gone or have suffered a demise I will have to carry on without you the best way I can."

  We must assume he is dead I think because averything else is illogical we can't telephone him we can't email him he doesn't employ staff to answer his mail nothing ; missing presumed dead it seems.

  has jw's always taught this that the un is the 8th king?

  i just happen to stumble across the june study watchtower at my aunt's home and glanced throught the mag and saw this teaching.

  i don't remember the jw's teaching this back when i was in.

  Yes it's straight forward really . It can be made into anything you want it to be .

  All you need is a vivid imagination we have in the UK a Queen but before that we had a King and before that we had a King and before that we had a KIng who didn't want want to be KIng of the UK so he stepped down so he could marry an American lady who was not really interested in being Queen.

  All the above is true but the the prophesy in the Watchtower is hocum and best taken with a pinch of salt.

  the paragraph says that jesus is the "principal part" of the seed.

  if the governing body could turn back time and do a rewrite or change their past teachings what would be their top priority ?.

  would they have to eliminate everything and start again?.

  any one want to tell them what to shred before forensics arrive?.

  Yes when I was in the Witnesses there used to be this mantra about some people think that the Bible is like a violin on which any old tune can be played but the JWs' , it was said, had the one and only true understanding of God's purpose according to their interpretation of the Bible which wasn't really supposed to change tune. However it is obvious now that changing their tune is what they are good at.

  I suspect that before long there will be some new tunes coming along in order to keep everyone doing the dance.

  With a little research into the Watchtower religion it becomes obvious that they made mistake after mistake all the way through their history and if the current leaders can't see it then they are either dishonest or stupid.

  How do they sleep at night?
