everyone has different views about life after death and whether or not it is a possibility.. as jehovah's witnesses, we were always taught that there is no life after death, that this is the only life we have now and that the wages of sin is death.. .

what are your views on life after death?.

My friends and family swear I am a spitting image (in personality) as Kristin Wiig. Not sure my avatar portrays that.

Most Overblown Examples Used at Assemblies

by What Now? in

at a recent assembly, there was a talk highlighting the dangers of higher education.

the brother used an example of a young girl who went to university, began going to bars, and ended up getting drugged and gang raped - as if this happens to every young jw who chooses to get higher education.. .

what ridiculous examples have you heard used at meetings or assemblies?.

Magwitch

I remember one of the CO's at our pioneer school giving the example of two regular pioneer sisters going door to door. They came across a worker in a cherry picker picking cherries. The sisters showed an interest in the cherry picker, so the cherry picker worker asked them if they would like to ride up in it. The sisters agreed. Well, at the end of the day, one of the sisters was in bed with the cherry picker.

For the life of me I cannot remember the moral of the story...I think it had to do with cherries.
