i have been thinking a lot lately about death.
this is not surprising considering the turn of events on the 11th.. i have been re-awakened to the transient nature of human life and how it can go in the blink of an eye.
as the bible says life is vanity and a striving for the wind.. with all of the talk about world war 3 and how dangerous this world has become, i have been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster this past week.. the fear of dying is a normal and basic emotion.
Also maybe another reason so many JWs marry so young (besides the fact that they are horney and that's they only way to 'get some'). They may feel pressure to 'get some' before they die, cause if they did die a virgin they'd forever have missed out on sex. Well, at least sex with another person - I don't suppose the hand counts ...
I was always told how a loving god would 'remove the desire' from my heart - and I was like, well, it would take a miracle
hey all, .
well, i was just invited to attend the meeting on sunday, the co is visiting and my mother told me the talk will be a good one.
i don't know if i can stomach sitting thru this!
Yea, I don't know if I could stand it, but from a selfish point of view it would be interesting to hear what the representative of god's 'mouthpeice' has to say. You may have to go to the back and puke once or twice though ...
thought i'd share this from my guestbook at:.

You said it sf. IF they truly believe the tripe they spew, then they are wasting valuable time/energy by giving ANY thought to dead ones. Including the relief effort in NY that they will soon be patting themselves on the back about all their good works (yea right). Why not rejoice for those 5,000 since they might be resurrected now?
this morning i walked over to a 7/ll to get a cup of coffee.
as i was leaving, i was approached by this very timid asian fellow.
he wasn't in a suit.
Thirdson: ha ha, don't give them any ideas! But their real problem would be how to make bio-degradable CD-ROMS

Ah yes AL. The good old 'no marriage' deal. Used to tourque me up pretty bad. I mean, how can they say that to horny teenagers? Or worse yet, horney adults . Now THAT's a good reason to fear death - no more sex!!!!!
Proplog, whatever. I don't read hatred of JWs here. Just trying to understand what makes 'em tick There are some JWs who are terrified of death, and there are some that give it no thought.
jws have been excited about events last week.
their sensibilities have been fine-tuned to expect armageddon at any moment, and last week's events seem extreme enough to lead to one thing after another.. i think these events will hurt the wts in the long run.
consider the typical long-term jw.
Ha ha, trust good old brother 'some' to start causing trouble again. Wasn't he DF'ed? How did he get back in there?
And is 'may' his middle or last name? I always read about 'some may'. Is brother some oriental?
NY: I submit that it is NOT natural for people to be jumping all over every major news event hopeing/praying that this signifies the beginning of god's killing 6 billion people. Doesn't sound to 'natural' to me ...
I've heard it after every major event - how things are SO BAD, this has to be the end. Oklahoma = end Gulf War = end Ressesion = end. I'm sure before that Veitnam = end, Korea = end, Cuban Missle = end, and so on and so on.
i am new to this, actually my hands are shaking as i write this.
i have been "lurking" for several months now, and am filled with doubt and fear.
i was baptized 20 years ago, but have never been in the center of things.
Welcome, and don't be scared of us - most of us don't bite
If you've been lurking here awhile you've already learned soem disturbing things I'm sure. If you want more info on the WTBTS being a U.N. NGO, go to this page ...
It's a lot to read, but it sure is an eye-opener.
As far as the WTBTS saying anything to the normal JW that has not happened. They certainly have not 'announced' this in any WT, KMs, etc. However, there does appear to be an overall weaking in their outright condemnation of the U.N. there have been some blurbs in the Awake that have a somewhat favorable tone to them. I think this is to appease the U.N. NGO requirements, so they have printed material to show to the U.N. to prove they meet their end of the NGO bargain.
Who knows where this will lead, but it sure proves the two-faced hypocracy of the org, out of one mouth condeming 'false' religion for 'sleeping' with the worlds governments, all the while they're doing the EXACT same thing - using the goverments to their own advantage. All to 'further kingdom work' you know ...

I think most JWs don't give it much thought. I think the younger ones really think that they will a) never get old, and b) never die in this 'system' (which means they think they'll never die at all). I think that when their minds do cross the thought of death they are afraid of missing out on the new system. I don't know about everyone, but I never thought I was 'good enough' to make it. We were raised/taught to dwell on our sins, how miserable humans are, etc. "Probably you may be concealed" as a way to guilt us into more service, more meetings, more study. So many JWs are deathly afraid of screwing up, cause they think if the big A shows up w/out them having confessed to the elders lately they'll get zapped.
All in all a very warped way of life, having your spirit tromped into the ground daily by guilt.

And here I thought the Vikings were the first ones here ...
Farkel, so they're onto the old '6 billion gotta die' question now. Think it'll be in the next 'reasoning' book? I still don't understand how his answer was an answer though. You showed more restrant than I think I would have. Thanks for the story!
