Armageddon Part II

by LostGeneration in

one of the things that bothered me as a jw growing up was the idea that there would be a second armageddon.

they don't phrase it that way, but what else could it be when you read stuff like this from the 3/15 wt.. "obedient humans will gradually be set free from enslavement to corruption.

if they remain faithful to jehovah throughout the millennium and during the final test that will come at the end of it, their names will be permanently written in the scroll of life.

next time they come knocking on your door, show them this book with the latest research.. .

faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen.

yet as new york times bestselling author steven pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millennia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence.

The Most violence was during the First and second World War. Things are way more peaceful today.

first off, if you are in a safe place inside your head, merry christmas.

i was fortunate to have had childhood christmases in my home growing up.

many born-ins are probably never going to know what they missed.. also.... i am thinking about all the nice, friendly, happy things i've given up for jehovah and it saddens me.

I hope that 2012 is a better year for all of us.

Please can we all have a go at describing and celebrating our different NEW IDENTITIES, versus our OLD WBTS IDENTITY?

by Fernando in

at one time most of us here identified as jws who follow the wbts gb/fds who claim to follow the bible etc.

some of us are journeying to a new identity, others may feel they already have a new identity.. although we likely have gone in many different directions, we share a common past which only ex-members can really understand and explain.

please could we each respectfully share and celebrate our unique perspectives of where we have come from, and where we each are now at on this journey?.
