Geez guys, isnt it obvious why we are still here? You have to do the math. God doesnt want anyone destroyed so he is allowing this system to go on so the 250,00 or so who come in every year can be saved...nevermind the 70 million who are born each year who have to die.

Christianity, on it's death bed
by free2beme inas i grow older, and perhaps more controled by satan.
;) there is something i can not help but conclude.
it is the fact that christianity only exist, because it was born in a time in which there was no media, communications, and possible chance of being proven wrong.

People hang on to religous beleifs for one reason: it means life. If religion didnt teach that there was an afterlife...that this is all there was then I dont think, generally speaking, it would exist at all. Maybe it plays on our inherint selfishness: if God wants something from us we better get something in return.

Disfellowshipped for eating FATTY FOODS, BEING FAT, BAD DIET
by free2beme inheart desease is the leading cause of deaths in this country.
bad diets are leading to an ever increasing population of diabetic and fat children and adults.
if we keep this up, more and more people will be too sick to work or live a normal life.

Because we here in America are not fat due to overeating and no exercise, we have thyroid issues therefore we cannot be DF'ed for gluttony it's not our fault. Now if you will excuse me I'm going to McDonalds.

How sad. The last link to an incredible chapter in history. I dont really care that it proves how nonsencacle the 1914 prophecy of the WT is...well maybe I do a little. But being a history student I am more sad off this lost connection with the great war.

As my journey to leave the WBTS was in its infancy I was speaking to an old friend who had always been a surrogate mom to me. I had pioneered with both her sons (one of which is now an elder, the other is gay). I was addressing some of my concerns re: the WTS. She was having difficulty convincing me I was wrong, so in the end she said, "Remember. You signed on the dotted line." I was confused what she meant, at first, until I realized she was speaking of my dedication to Jehovah/WBTS. This comment surprised me as she had twice been DF'd for biblically ridding herself of an unhappy marital union.
That comment has come back to me over the months. Is she right? Am I in breach of contract? Tonight it occurred to me that I am not. This relationship that began with my baptism was a bi-lateral covenant: I would give Jehovah and his organization the best years of my life and they would provide a spiritual paradise followed by a literal one. I would give up all the things people in their youth long to do in return for the prospect of future fulfillment. Not only have I not experienced a literal paradise, I have not experienced a spiritual one. In fact, life has been pretty sucky overall. If JW's are the happiest on earth, why did I get so depressed going to meetings and trying to live up to the perfect requirements we are beset with every day?
No, I was not the first to break this contract. I only decided to withdraw before it was too late for me.

About the Adam and Eve time gap....
by Lozhasleft inwhat's got me a bit befuddled is this.... when eve was created she was physically perfect right?
and apparently god blessed them which counted as a marriage.
so....that means that satan's deception of eve must have been almost immediate?....because being perfect she would have conceived virtually straight away, surely?

According to JW theology she did not know what she was doing...she was the only one decieved. And yes the tree is just a tree. But God put it their and made the rule that they should not eat from it. Satan did use it for his own purposes, but it was still Gods tree and it was still his rule.
The time gap is interesting if you beleive Fred Franzs time line. If this were all true than I would have to say God wanted to make sure they were going to be loyal before he let them procreate.
