  The (Shunned) Woman at the Well

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. bible

  i always found the account of the "woman at the well" to be particulary interesting.

  this unknown shunned woman of ill-repute was specifically sought out and chosen by jesus.

  why?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el7dzonv3iy&ab_channel=michaelpapale.

  In Jesus day, Samaritans were shunned by the Jews because they (ten tribes under Jeroboam) had apostatized from the faith around the time of the death of King Solomon. See I Kings 11 & 12

  Yes but governments have a right to withdraw taxpayers money to organizations they believe are harming children and adults and unnecessarily breaking up families in the process.

  They might even use the money they save to inform the public about the dangers of associated with certain groups, religious or otherwise.

  disfellowshipped for having a personal opinion based on WT

  by Leslie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in 2008 i was baptized into the truth after leaving a trinitarian faith.

  during my eight years as a jehovah’s witness, i strived to keep the standards set by the bible, wt and the faithfull and discrete slave.

  but unfortunately, the congregational elders from the kingdom hall i attended were not keeping to jehovah’s standards, hence, wrote my letter of resignation.

  As it stands my status is that of a disfellowshipped apostate ostracized from close family members.

  Unfortunately injustices like this happen when you are in a cult.

  JWs believe that 99% of Christians don't have the indwelling Holy Spirit, nor are they adopted sons of our heavenly Father.

  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?.

  Whether you wake up immediately at death or wait till the resurrection, you will have the exact same reaction. Either way, the next conscious moment after death, you will face the inevitable.
