hey jam, I'm right there with you. think if the converse were true too: Let's say I'm single after "this old world" fizzles off into ephemera. let's also say there are some world-class hotties being resurrected with whom I fall engorgedly in love. would it be a deviation if I were to hit that? I'm mean, what if I'm *destined* to be Bathsheba's one true love? what a bummer!

Question on two types of JWs in the earthly New System
by Dogpatch ina friend writes:.
as a witness, i often wondered why the society spent so much time proving that jehovah disposed of jesus physical body.
who would choose the earthly hope of being confined to a purely physical body on this tiny earth for eternity when we and our loved ones can be like christ, enjoying eternity in both a new heaven and a new earth, where the physical and the spiritual will be connected in a way that is beyond our imagination?

hi reniaa.
the "classes" described here are not typically described as such in WTS literature. however they do exist. I can't quote reference like some here, but in my youth I recall the description of the resurrected as being like angels neither marrying nor being given in marriage. this was quoting Jesus' words related to questions around a man who was married several times.
so the WTS taught (and local elders) that those who are resurrected would be celibate eternally. not very fun in my opinion.
this all underscores the WTS history of having an answer for everything -- even the time of the end -- despite scriptural counsel to the contrary .
what is really wrong with saying "we just don't know"?

Mother-in-law said she will not talk to us anymore...... feel the love.
by New light for you inyes, so my children talking to mom i hear "no we dont go to meetings anymore" and i'm thinking "crap!!".
so then the phone gets passed to me.. and my husband is of course out of town for this.
i get asked point blank if we're witnesses anymore.. and i said "no we're not".

what new book are they referring to? I don't like finding or reading this kind of material unless I think it will impact my family. I was given a few new books but I haven't read them. I also find there is room for interpretation on this depending on your congregation or the level of extremity of the believer.
regardless you situation is sad. sorry to hear your MIL is one of the loonies. -

I want to hear more about this:
" Long story short 30+ year olds were behaving very badly at the recent DC..... We are all on unofficial reproof."
sounds like some silliness. -

My wife reads Dear Abby pretty often. Hopefully she hits that one. I try to share "normal" people's views of JWs with her as often as I can.

Define "Intaminates" Intimidates? Contaminates? Inseminates?
Clearly it's ALL OF THE ABOVE
