i was pondering this today during lunch, and to me it seems that it comes down to whether or not you can accept that you will one day be permanantly gone and anyone you have lost in death will never be alive again.
once a person becomes comfortable with these two ideas, there isn't really any incentive to believe.

I'm more angry at the Invisible Pink Unicorn. She didn't deliver on my 100,000,000 cheque that was supposed to be delivered. >:O

I could tell you stories but that's enough for now. They are not human.
I don't think the post is meant to be a threat - but a promise. It's not a reason to leave 'the truth'. It's something to be assured of if you do get old enough to require care.
i reported the other night that we sat down to watch the new video, and while my wife was smiling and laughing while watching the first part, she stiffened and became quiet during part two.
it disturbed her deeply:.
"this is ridiculous.
Jesus in the bible was an apostate. So were his followers. ;)

i thought the question box was interesting.
it asks the question "what should be kept in mind if we want some or all of our assets to go to jehovah's organization upon our death?".
Well thank goodness that the WTBTS is spoon-feeding everyone this nonsense! :D Dear lord, don't take any liberties you executors. We need as much ca$h as we can get.
And yes, that is condescending.

I completely disagree, metatron.
The elders won't even give you fifteen minutes every month.
