  As we left the cinema I told my daughter I didn't remember a few things quite like they were depicted in the film but later learned it was because they shifted the timeline about so the build-up to Live Aid would be more dramatic.

  Dreading the new system of things

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  was i the only one who secretly dreaded the new system of things a little bit when i was a believing witness?

  of course i felt very guilty, because of all the sick and heartbroken people who needed a perfect world to live in.

  but there are a lot of nice parts of life i was going to secretly miss.

  We had a sister who constantly liked to speculate on life in the new system. Her main concern was that there would be naked bottoms on her sofa.

  Animals

  by unsure in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if humans have to suffer to have free will and to disprove satan's challenge to god as mentioned in the bible...then why the f*ck do animals have to suffer as well?

  .

  satan's challenge involved humans and not poor animals.. i'm looking for an honest explanation from believers.. at this point, the older i get, the less i believe in a god who is "love"..

  God supposedly deliberately designed and manufactured animals to grow old and die. Inbuilt planned obsolescence in a living feeling sentient being is not love in my book.

  This is my favourite pianist

  He often explains how, why, when and who composed the pieces too.

  Did you enjoy your visit to Bethel?

  by Addison0998 in

  i recently had to take a trip with my family to bethel.

  it was a bit torturous for a secret apostate as you can imagine.

  but mostly just so boring.

  The highlight of our tour was seeing a feather cleaning machine for their pillows. They actually rip open the pillows, deposit the feathers into the machine and then decant them back into an empty clean pillow case.

  Where do Christians,Muslims and Jews think/believe Heaven is ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in this 21st century with so many nations involved in space exploration sending satellite`s out into the far reaching` s of the universe and none have detected anything resembling what could be described as a heaven ,i`m just wondering how these 3 major religions that base their beliefs on sections of the bible would/could answer this question.?.

  not only have these many satellites been deployed to various parts of our solar system but at least a couple have even ventured out of our solar system into deep space .. and none have encountered a heaven of any description.. your thoughts ?.

  I went to see Bohemian Rhapsody and was expecting pleny of Queen music but not much more. I was blown away by Rami Malek (MrRobot) He was beyond awesome as Freddie Mercury. Best film I've seen in ages.

  From my increasingly failing memory I seem to recall being told Jehovah keeps his congregation clean.

  I know he never has or else paedophiles would never make it to baptism let alone make elder status but when did the gb stop reassuring members all was well and all the talk of paedophiles were apostate lies?

  What Are The Differences Between JWs Born In and Converted?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i tend to think that many jws who joined the religion in their later years feel foolish or are embarrassed by their decision to become one of jehovah’s witnesses.

  .

  i’m not embarrassed by my years “in the truth “ because i was raised from infancy to believe everything was god’s word and who are we to question jehovah and his organization?

  I joined as a depressed and struggling single Mum and they convinced me God never intended for life to be so hard and all wickedness was going to end soon. Probably and most likely before my little girl even started school it was going to happen that soon.

  My little girl not only started school, she left school got married had 2 children of her own and is now a grandmother!

  That struggling single mum who was never going to grow old is now a great grandmother. It took me 30 years to realize God wasnt coming.
