  Would You Convert to Islam to Avoid getting Your Head Chopped Off? Atheist to Polytheist, what say you?

  by BucketShopBill in

  would you convert to islam if they were holding your head on a ax block, ready to swing the ax or sword to cut your head off?

  we know there are people who died for their political and spiritual values, would you convert to islam to avoid death?

  for atheists, can you justify conversion to preserve life since there is no life after death?

  Sometimes I wonder about those statememnts made by Elders going to visit JW patients in hospitals. They say, " We went to encourage them, but, they encouraged us in return". Well, there were many times that I wanted to say, " I went to encourage them, but, they are really a mess. Now, where did I put that whisky bottle?".

  Wow, the above posters have really identified some real Mental Issues that I would find it very disturbing to handle. I know the difference between Depression, and Discouragement. I'm not qualified to treat Depression, but I think that anyone who shows some caring attitude towards such ones could provide some value or benefit. You don't have to be an Elder to help. Notice I said help, not cure

  10) They make you wear a suit.

  9) They strongly encourage bathing.

  8) They do endorse a moral code, although, some today think that their style is old fashioned.

  7) They do give you boldness, and courage to speak about controversal issues.

  6) Their Bible translation is not perfect, but, none of the others are.

  5) The members are imperfect, and some of them are idiots, but, all other religions have the same kind of people.

  4) Prince likes them.

  3) They inspire great passionate apostates

  2) JW.ORG….a work in progress…stick around another 100 yrs and see what this can do.

  1) The GB members are human, and can die any moment. That Rulership for 1,000 yrs is a theory.

  Samuel Herd said we should preach wherever we are told to, even if there are bullets flying everywhere and dead bodies found in the territory.

  I have heard of the WT suspending the FS work in areas where it was deemed dangerous. What ever happened to that rationale?

  Well, in the 1st century, there was this level of competition. There were Elders, MS's, Shepherds, Techers, Evangelizers. There was competion and disputes amoung the Elders. Some high profiled Elders had differences.
