  What Will JW's Do If They Find Themselves Still Conscious after Death?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that despite many scriptures to the contrary, jw's believe that when they die, their consciousness will cease.

  my question is this: what will be the likely reaction of jw's if they find themselves conscious after death?.

  JWs confused when they realize they're conscious after death? Why....the GB has admitted they "err on doctrinal matters". Confused would be an understatement.

  They'd probably panic and ask for the GB's direction.

  What Percentage of active JW's are on Anti-Depressants?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i came across an xjw post on redditt from a rn.

  she states that nearly every jw she ever treated was on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/f35vaa/just_about_every_jw_i_come_across_is_on/ i once read somewhere that 1 in 5 jw's were on anti-depressants, but i couldn't find any documentation.

  Years ago I head at least 60% were on anti-depressants, back in 2006 or so.

  That wouldn't surprise me.

  Most children of Jehovah's Witnesses followers in Japan have been whipped, survey shows

  https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/03/15/national/jehovahs-witnesses-whipping/.

  the most cited reason was “napping or talking during congregations.” others included “answering back to parents” and “playing with a schoolmate.”.

  some respondents said they have been suffering depression as a result of whipping.. “i still cannot forget the sight of children screaming after they were taken into a large room at a congregation when i was a child,” a 44-year-old victim said, stressing that jehovah’s witnesses should reflect on what followers have done.. in february, a group of lawyers started supporting those second-generation followers.. in a statement issued on march 1, the japanese branch of jehovah’s witness said it does not accept child abuse.. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230315/p2a/00m/0na/006000c.

  Yes, more exposure all the time.

  Child abuse. Yes. To expect a child to sit there and listen to adult - level content and expected to sit quietly and motionless for 2 hours, couple times a week. Then, a$$emblie$, CONvention$ also and get a licken for not being quiet for all that time.. Hearing stories of being told to die instead of taking life-saving blood,,,armageddon talks....getting a licken after,,,,

  Yes, it is child abuse.

  I think the Borg realizes that 99.999% of JW sheeples are NOT stupid. And by scaring them by fear-mongering keeps them from developing critical thinking skills and waking - up and leaving. Please read Ray Franz' "Crisis of Conscience" & "In Search of Christian Freedom" !!!

  “and in revelation chapter 6, the ride of the fourth horseman includes mention of deadly plague.

  so the events unfolding around us are making clearer than ever that we’re living in the final part of the last days.

  Couple more really good authors Nelson DeMille and James Patterson. The authors Ive mentioned earlier on this thtread & now are NOT authors the Borg would endorse.
