Good news! Heaven will come down to earth once the earth is ready and death will be a thing of the past. Since knowledge is limitless, we will always have something to learn and bless others with. Exciting times ahead. Keep your lamps burning with Holy Ghost fire until then.

Were we really meant to live forever?
by Leathercrop inour capacity for adaptation (there's an official term somewhere) is apparently very vast.
meaning that whatever is a novelty always becomes old news and apparently it happens very quickly.
human beings in fact have to put a lot of effort into not discarding valuable things and relationships because of our overwhelming tendency to become incredibly used to it and just plain bored with them.

Hip replacement on Monday. Wish me luck.
by GrreatTeacher inas the title says i'm having a total hip replacement on monday.
the pain has grown over the years and now i'm using a cane to walk.
after steroid injections and physical therapy, it was decided that a total hip replacement is appropriate.

The Saddest Thing About Tony Morris's Removal
by NotFormer ini've mentioned before how i've wondered how tony morris must have felt when he was sacked.
yes, i know he's a rehensible human being who got served a healthy dose of karma, or, if you like, divine judgement.
to go from having all there is to have within the world he lived in, to where he is now; that's a long fall.

Being put down a peg should be a humbling experience for him, I'm sure.
But remember, he has a nice home to live in and family, I.e., a wife and sons to support him and I'm sure his physical needs are met by the WTS. And I'm sure also that he and his wife can afford more of that expensive whiskey.to enjoy in retirement.

Dabid sums it up pretty well
"Trying to understand the process by which Jehovah's Witnesses get their new understandings is quite a challenge. They claim to be directed by God and the Bible, but their teachings go in circles and seem to have no direction at all.
They should just confess that they have no idea what they are talking about, but instead they say that your life depends on obeying them and this weird direction that they supposedly receive from God."

Must have reevaluated in April 1919 after realizing prophetic speculators, pyramid promoters, flip-floppers were the best Christendom had to offer at the time.

If 1914 gets tossed
by Leathercrop init feels like the change in reporting of hours becomes a fundamentally bigger deal every day.
the weight and importance placed on quantity was enormous, and now it's just gone.
even tho most witnesses really didn't keep "accurate" records so to speak hehehe.... this could very well be a precursor to even bigger doctrinal changes, like 1914. damn, would would happen then?.

Phizzy is right on. 1914 is critical to Watchtower authority.

WT and Deathbed Salvation?
by Vanderhoven7 ineight million jehovah's witnesses do not believe they are saved, so how can they in short order tell you how to get saved on your deathbed?.
instead, they might tell you, “look you are about to die and the great tribulation has not started yet, so you don't need to repent and believe anything really.
just die and your death will pay for your sins and unless you have sinned against the holy spirit, you will be raised along with most everybody else and learn from others such as abraham, isaac and jacob, how to live for the kingdom during the 1000 year reign of christ.

JW: Have you come to God's visible victorious organization for salvation?
Me: What if I haven’t by the time the GT starts?
JW: Then you will be eternally destroyed by Jehovah at Armageddon along with 8 billion of the earth's inhabitants!!!
Me: Is that the good news you preach? What does the Bible teach?
JW: (getting angry): yes, it's good news for us, bad news for everyone else who can't see past the unbiblical gospel we preach, the unrelatable Jesus we proclaim, the false prophetic speculation we engaged in, the loving unscriptural disfellowship provisions we enforce and the child sex abuse we have mishandled for decades on end. If you can't see we are the one true religion and the only Christians on earth, you deserve destruction at Armageddon.

Yes, and because they have the wrong Jesus, they cannot know or relate to Him personally. Tacking on His name at the end of a prayer is not a relationship. Because their Jesus is an angel, they cannot even say, "Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins".
JWs know Michael personally as much as they know Gabriel personally.
