I believe it's coming because I still believe in God. And if I were God, that's what I would do; make the earth a paradise. I can envision it so clearly in my mind. I still believe in the ransom but I believe it applies to everyone that ever lived, including Adam and Eve. I don't believe that God will destroy anyone for eternity. I don't believe that God will destroy everyone at Armageddon. I think God will gradually start to pour out his spirit on all mankind and ever so gradually restore everything to his original vision.

Former Long Time Elder: Why I am still in
by James Jackson ina customer on my route with whom i have had some lively debates was his number 1 complaint is that "the witnesses have so many rules".
last month i agreed with on this issue.
he asked why the change, i told him that i have been doing some soul searching.

"Jehovah's Witnesses are not taught to have morals, they are taught to follow rules."
Lisa, you've hit the nail on the head. That's exactly true.

Sparlock is helping Mormons
by cedars incheck out this awesome video - part 7 in a series where a mormon uses the witnesses as a proxy to figure out why his own faith is wrong.. sparlock, hassan's bite model, and even the 2013 "human apostates" convention talk all make cameos.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmesmlhydru.

Funeral this Saturday, looking for suggestions
by Tameria2001 inmy husband will be going (unless he has to work) to his jw aunt's funeral this coming saturday (6-29-13).
he will be riding up with one of his other aunts (not a witness).
i refuse to go because i just hate those people that much, that if it were my mom's funeral i still would not go.

David, I can't overstate how horrible this will be for you should you decide to go. I still get angry just thinking about how inhumanly I was treated at the funeral. It's really not worth it.

I will never go to another JW funeral again. I went four years ago when my sister died. I was completely and utterly shunned by every JW in attendance. It was so dehumanizing. I will never put myself through that again. Besides, the time to see your loved ones is before they die. Your aunt wont know whether you're there or not.
