although i think mary said something about a resurection at the end of times...whatever that meant.. are there bible scriptures in the old testament which support such a believe?.

jws say, that they believed in the resurection of the dead on earth. but i can´t remember reading such a bible quote. although i think mary said something about a resurection at the end of times...whatever that meant.

are there bible scriptures in the old testament which support such a believe?

i know i m a simple mind, but if 3 jws study with a jw-child or someone else for an hour, they ll all report there own time, which will add up to 3 hours, right?

but the real netto time spent for the study is obviously 1 hour, no matter how many jws took part.

am i seeing a mathimatical fault?.

varian

thank you all for your kind answers.

i always said, that the most effective way to preach is leaving the watch at home.

another question: why don´t jws also use modern media for preaching? if the end was really just round the corner, wouldn´t it be appropriate to do everything possible by using tv, internet, radio etc.? they used radio before alot in the 30ies and 40ies, so why have this changed. modern media is proven to be very effectiv, so why are they refusing it?

thanks in advance.

hoffnung,

i marked your words, thanks.

i was thinking to ask them honest heartedly why they want to see me. now, if i mention all my personel expiriences and what you just said about giving note to the c.o., then they should answer my questions honestly. otherwise they would be lying, and finaly having a major problem, not with the c.o., but with god himself.

hi everyone.

i recently had a phone call from an elder of my former cong. they would like to chat with me, and obviously want to encourage me to come back.

to make a long story short: the last 4 or five years i was a jw in their kh, i was more or less completly ignored. had in that time no phone calls, visits or any interest how i felt etc. jw´s avoided me in town, pretended they did´nt see me, or once i had to break off the five minute speach on stage due to lack of breath. the funny thing was, that the school-admin (or how do you say it) did´nt even mention the insident nor after the meeting. it was like nothing happened. i also remember my bookstudy elder, who almost on a weekly basis pronounced how to develope personal interest at the doors and return visits, but never asked me one question about myself, although it was known that i had huge problems at the time.

i also sent a while in hospital. and geuss what: it was known (not from stage though), but not a soul inquired when i left about my current health.

well, there are obviously a lot more stories similar to them. so i have accepted the invitation for a talk, because the p.o. is a very nice guy, but i don´t know if i should mention the things in the past.

but i think i should, because the last years i spent as a jw in their cong screwed me completely up.

what would be the best thing to do and say? thank you in advance. varian

What is happening to JWN ?...So many topics not relating to Jehovah's Witnesses!

note the home page..wow how it has changed.. jehovah's witness discussion forumthe place to discuss anything relating to jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower bible and tract society... or just make new friends!.

many of the posts have nothing to do with with jehovah's witnesses and new ones coming on this board would be turned off by the content of many of these off color posts.

foul inappropriate language which is not proper or suitable for exiting witnesses to visibly inspect.

varian

hi koolaid-man.

here are some jw-relative questions i would like to ask you:

what´s your favorite colour? what´s your favorite lp-cover of all time? did you go regulary to the drive in after late night cong?

and finaly: how do you manage to coordinate a 3-man worldwide protest?
