JWs believe in the resurrection of good and bad (with some exceptions, depending on their mood). the resurrected body is a perfect clone including the mind of the deceased. the clone would awake like from sleep.
a topic i sometimes brought up (because of some things that happened in my family) was: what happens with born dead or aborted babies. i suppose they can't be resurrected in their mother's womb. they also can't live outside their mother's womb. they also can't be resurrected several years older. so are they resurrected at all? if not - then what was wrong about abortion again?
sorry if i touch some nerves with this, but i asked these questions because of a personal loss.

what is supposedly resurrected at resurrection?
by iblowmynoseatyou inthis is an idea that really freaked me out when i was still "in".
i asked it several times in groups of friends, and i would get two reactions: confusion/not understanding, and silence/looking at the ground.
if you die, and your body disinegrates, and the soul doesnt live on; in fact, nothing lives on, then what is resurrected?

Where have you turned to?
by Robert7 ini am very curious, since i am myself trying to figure out where to turn to, if anywhwere.
(i am still debating if i am truly an atheist at heart and religion in general turns me off at least as of now) where have you turned to since you left the wt?
i would imagine that many people who became witnesses had spiritual needs (which is ironic why i am feeling atheist, lol) but have you gone to other churches, stopped going to church, become atheist, etc?

no need to turn anywhere. no need to exchange one drug for another. i know, leaving the jehovahs one's still used to being led. but now it's your turn on the steering-wheel. you're no longer sitting in a train, you've got your own brand new car.

Weirdest People you've met while Witnessing!!! {Nut cases}
by Witness 007 ini once called on a guy who invited us straight in...then told us he was "lazarus son of god.
" he had a cazy look in his eye, and would repeat this line every few minutes.
the brother with me was trying to "reason from the scriptures" that he in fact could not be lazarus...i just wanted to leave.

one time a young woman wearing only a t-shirt and no underwear opened the door... didn't know where to look at. i was in desperate need of a coffee-break after that. actually a cold shower would have been more proper.

either install linux or use a mac. then you won't have this kind of problems.
where do you host your page? do you use weak passwords? do you update your software regularly? -

Unmarried and pregnant by JW
by Valrose inmy boyfriend was a jw for most of his life, he is no longer participating in the religion.
we are not married and i'm now pregnant.
does any one know and can advise me what i can expect from his parents once they find out?

Superfine Apostate
that very much depends on how JWish his parents are. my mom would love her grandchildren, no matter what, although she's the only pioneer in town. she'd try to indoctrinate the little child all the time though.

Self Deceit and Faith.
by hillary_step inthis thread is inspired by a comment made on another thread, but i thought it would make an interesting discussion.. self deceit is described as a "misconception that is favorable to the person who holds it".
my premise is that faith is a form of self-deceit - lying to oneself.. so, i would ask of the "faithful" the following questions and would request that they be read carefully to ensure no that there is no misunderstanding of purpose.. 1) in what way is faith not self-deception?.
2) is a person who has faith in a god that you do not believe in, say for example siva, practicing a form of self-deception?.

LOL! i've been on their forum a few years ago, when i tried to sort out my doubts. i somehow thought, i'd had to find another group using the tetragrammaton, don't ask ME why.. lol
