  In the big scheme of things, Jesus'....

  by SixofNine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...suffering was not so bad.

  his "perfection" and understanding of the situation would certainly have mitigated his suffering.. his death was not really death, not in any meaningful sense.

  it was a 15 second nap, using bible reasoning.

  And if no after-life, what.......?????

  by JW72 in

  1. jw

  regarding war and killing and justice:.

  i think the problem lies in what people 'believe in'.. if you believe in any kind of after-life, you have a certain safety net that allows you to be extra peaceful and in a sense say 'it doesn't matter if i die because i'll be dying for my faith and i know i'll be reunited with my family'.. but, what about those of us who don't believe in an after-life, this world is all we have.. it is so unfair to expect us to sit back and peacefully protest and die in doing so.. it's all about whether you believe there is more than just this 'system' to look foreward to.

  To KILL or Not to KILL?

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a tough question: to kill or not to kill?

  this is a very tough question because there can be so many variables, so many views, so many things to consider, so many circumstances, so many beliefs.

  do we kill as we do any of this?.

  Who Do You Really Love Best?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw's teach that one should love jehovah more than anyone else in existence, your parents, your partner, your children.. did you really, really love jehovah that much when you were a witness?

  or was there a part of you that put this question to one side because, deep down, you knew that no-one was going to get the lions share of your love other than your close family?.

  also, was there a little niggle that it was unreasonable for jehovah to ask this much of you?
