  Life after death

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everyone has different views about life after death and whether or not it is a possibility.. as jehovah's witnesses, we were always taught that there is no life after death, that this is the only life we have now and that the wages of sin is death.. .

  what are your views on life after death?.

  My view is that this is all we get. I think that after I die, I'll feel the same way as before I was born, absolutely nothing. As depressing as that sounds, that is the reason I am so happy. Since I feel that this is my only life, I don't stress over things I know will mean nothing. My friends always mention how happy and relaxed I am all the time and this is definitely the reason why. It makes me love life so much.

  I usually read science books. I read Stephen Hawking's The Grand Design, David Mills' Atheist Universe (my favorite), and Richard Dawkin's, The God Delusion, among others. This isn't related to the others but I also read about half of Under the Dome by Stephen King.

  Do You Feel Somewhat Liberated When You Talk About Your JW Past?

  by minimus in

  i do.. when i tell people that i was a witness, nobody can believe it!

  i enjoy telling them why i left the religion, the harm they cause, and the benefits of being out of it.. do you express yourself in this way too or is it only me?.

  I hate talking about it even though I was never baptised. I'm never the one to bring it up and when it is brought up I'll answer questions and change the subject.

  by Pitchess Co-Gen in

  2. experiences

  i remember being a high school senior and wanting to go to prom ( i graduated from high school in 2003 ), but prom was forbidden when your a jw teen.

  i even said to my parents if i took a witness girl would it be ok; they actually said yes.

  i found a girl ( yes she's a witness ) to go with me, but here's the kicker she agreed to go.

  Al Qaeda in partnership with USA / CIA ! Bin Laden is dead !

  by ThomasCovenant in

  2. friends

  i, for one, don't believe that the us killed bin laden last week as per their official press releases.

  i want to see photographic evidence.

  having said that, when or if they produce a photo, i'll then say it has been doctored.

  What's the most dumbest/petty thing you've heard of someone being "stumbled" over?

  - some loser once took offense that i hugged a sister goodbye at a leaving do and ran back to the elders like a little child telling on me.

  i was 15, this sister was in her 40s at the time.. - this elder said someone told him they saw me with a copy of the sun newspaper.

  yes, this paper is known for its 'page 3' topless girls but far from pornagraphic and i wasn't even thinking along those lines.. - one brother who had a good job was 'counselled' because he was actually able to buy himself nice things including a new car (shock, horror!!

  I was out in service, didn't shave that morning so I was a little scruffy (I was only in like 11th grade). The elder I was with drove me to my house and told me I should shave. WTF! I'm sure it was so I wouldn't stumble anyone...

  i do feel kinda silly since this is something most people do anyway, you know, it's a regular, ordinary thing to do.... there's the av referendum and the local elections in england.

  i went out this morning and voted.

  it felt so good to have a say, to make my 'voice' heard!

  Would you/could you look at the pics of dead Osama Bin Laden?

  by Broken Promises in

  1. social
  2. current

  if, and i'm saying, if, the pics of osama were released, would you want to look at them?.

  do you think you could stomach the sight of a man with a bullet through the eye?.

  or would it be worth it just to prove once and for all that the terrorist king is dead?.

  I could easily look at them and think nothing of it. I have seen the worst of the worst on the internet and could look at a dead Osama bin Laden with no problem.

  Go ahead and do it. You can't be attacked by things that don't exist.
