  I should say at the first place: I (with my wife) left JWs 3 years ago. We have a little daughter (now 9 years old). She still sometimes ask us "Dad/Mom, Why we don't go out to knock 'their doors' at the weekend anymore ?" At first 1 or 2 years, she always cover her eyes whenever TV has a scence we taught her not to watch (in animation cartoon, off-course). But recently, I made a little birthday party for her, she enjoyed it. We also gave her (not in birthday) a Japanese cartoon DVD "KIKI's Delivery Service" from the winning director of "Spritted Away" (until now we don't let her watch this "Spritted Away"movie, I keep it in my bookcase together with my collection of Oscar DVDs. She know where it is because I did show her, she obey and never touches, only asks permission to look the cover). Kiki's Delivery Service is about a liitle cute witch 13 yeras old on training in a modern city. She is very helpful in working at a bakery, have a liitle boyfriend (no kiss, no harmful scence, only boy and girl look after each other, very innocent, like angels). I myself enjoyed this movie. My daughter said after watch this film "It's quite nice, I know they just made up story, we never seen witch around Dad"
  

  Or you can find a book title "The Red Balloon" by A. Lamorisse (I believe they also made a film before have printed this colorful book and now it's on DVD, too Search Google you will see how much interesting about the film and the book). I think it also help little JW in your class has a different viewpoit a bout life outside the wall of a cult and I'm pretty sure her/or his parent will appreciate it.

  Roman 6:7 and the Susan Thorne's point

  by jwsons in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently i'm reading a book from susan thorne "held by the watchtower, set free by christ" .

  among her experience, like most of ex-jws, nothing to say, she wrote some doctrine of wacotower and dark society, i think they are interesting.

  one of them is doctrine about ressurection.

  One of them is doctrine about ressurection.

  >"Roman 6:7 (NWT) says: For he who has died has been acquitted from his sin.' The context, however, makes it clear that what is being discussed is 'spiritual death--death to our former way of life, when we become Christians- not physical death. It is our acceptance of the value of Jesus' blood which acquits us from sin. According to the teaching of JWs, those still alive at the outbreak of Armageddon are judged on the basis of whether or not they are Jehovah's Witnesses.....It is difficult to see where in all this, is the value of Jesus' sacrifice. JWs claim to be Christians; they speak of Christ 'ransom sacrifice'. Yet they believe that those who die are entitled to a ressurection because they are acquitted of their sin (they, rather than Christ, die to save themselves from sin), and from then on their survival depends on their obedience to the new rules contained in Jehovah's scrolls"

  
  
  Is Susan someone in this forum?

  It's not April ata the moment. So April Fool now is laughing matter! The cults rely their recruitment a lot on books, video, mags. etc. NO WAY.
