  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are so many answers out there, but i cannot decide which one that i should pick.

  i cannot use yahoo mail since the ssl protocol is currently disabled.

  i found a good suggestion earlier but i cannot find it again.

  I looked at John Doe's posting history. His last two posts are missing, so he must have said something wrong.

  The Resurrection of the Righteous and the Unrighteous

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one saturday morning after eating at a restaurant, my family and a group of witnesses left the restaurant at about the same time.

  so, i struck up a conversation and eventuallly tactfully questioned them about how they hoped to have their sins forgiven since official wt doctrine is that jesus is only the mediator for the 144,000. .

  after bantering a bit and trying to have it both ways, one man essentially claimed that the whole point was moot because there was going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.

  it would depend on their heart condition, it is up to God.

  Does WT issue a Certificate of Baptism?

  2. beliefs

  i just realized that some states will accept a certificate of baptism as a secondary form of identification for legal matters such as state issued identification.. do any of you find that odd at all?.

  Found something kinda freaky on Google

  by StAnn in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i don't know why but, for some reason, tonight i decided to google someone i used to date (seriously but briefly) back in the 1990's.

  i put in his name and up came~you guessed it~his obituary.

  he's been dead for over nine years!

  Can someone be a Witness while on "inactive reserve" status with the military?

  by SixofNine in

  1. jw

  .

  i'm in a discussion with a guy who tells jw's at his door that he can't follow their beliefs because, as a military retiree, he is technically and legally on the military rolls forever.. .

  anyone know if the society handles a person in this situation differently than anyone else who wants to be part of the congregation?

  Any Escalation Channel?

  by book in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  any thoughts, ideas, suggestions: is there a way to escalate issues after congregation elders?.

  of course, we are taught that god "hears" all prayers - complaints and grievances.

  however, i may not get a human reply always, a divine response, or i may not get any clear closure at all.

  book, we are happy to have you, but you have few views right now, maybe you should have better title to attract more viewers to view your thread, but hang in there, some of us have been there.

  If they get too many calls and they find out that you are supplying the information here on JWN, they could sue Simon. I would not be surprised if this thread will be taken down by one of the mods when one of the them see it.
