Scriptural Basis of not believing in Hell
by Tirisilex in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i am not a jehovah witness however i'm ver interested in jw doctrine.

i consider myself somewhat of a scholar.. i first attempted to get my questions answered by having jw's come to my home.

however, i was most disappointed because they were too busy trying to recruit me than trying to answer my questions.

I am new.
by Utopian_Raindrops in
1. jw
2. friends
ok everyone...i am new.. i don't know what to say....just hello.. i am a disfellowshipped jehovah's witness...which maybe one day i will get in detail about....but right now it's still too painful.. besides if i talk about it i feel like i am talking bad about people or hindering jehovah's spirit with others.

i realy try to shy away from speaking badly of people...even if they hurt me.. what i believe in my heart is no one can truely hurt you if your standing with the creator is good in his eyes.they in reality hurt only themselves,because they hinder thier relationship with our maker.. i do not like to talk bad about any religious group realy because, i think what if jehovah some how aproved of them and then i am introuble!.

i can't remember where the scripture is but it is about the apostles and the advice was to let them go....and if they were from god then you know....but if they weren't then it would end...thier preaching and basically god would take care of them.. i feel jesus could say the things he did of religious leaders because,well.....he is th son of god and these people claimed to represent his dad.

greetings from the land of ice and snow,,,, last week i watched a tv show on the iceman found frozen in alps, about 10yrs ago.

it was an update on what scientists have found the last few years.
