okay, here's the issue.
some people, even some jws, believe that in the new world they will be reunited with their spouses.
jesus, however, said that in the resurrection there would be no marriage or giving in marriage.
I honestly think that living in a paradise would be so wonderful and complete that you would no way, not in a million years, ever want to marry anyway. I also think that from God's perspective marriage only serves the pupose of populating the earth and once that is accomplished the tap would be turned off so to speak.
This is not necessarily what erbie believes but it is what he believes the Bible hints at.

Well, the JW's do need to realize that the name Jehovah does not belong to them nor are they the only ones to use it.
They won't like this will they.
Go Men Aloud!

contradictory doctrines.
the jehovahs witnesses have a doctrine known as the "increase of light.
Great article, thanks.
the thread about urban legends got me thinking and i remembered this one which i was told quite recently which definitely deserves its own place.. a few weeks back i was told by an elder that the 'brothers' are saying that the catholic church is to be disbanded with immediate effect by the un because of child abuse coverups which apparently disqualifies it as a 'charitable organization'.. (no siggering!).
he also claimed that it was headline news.. this is of course mad wishful thinking on their part and i was staggered to think that anyone could believe such nonsense but would be very interested to hear if anyone else has heard this.. forgive me if this has already done the rounds but it was news to me..
Thanks Brinjen, very interesting article.
Just like chinese whispers I guess.

the story of why the new bible has a grey cover (silver sword) moved me to ask you all what your favorite jw urban legend is?.
one of my favorite jw urban legends.
a sister is out in service alone.
Oh, and did anyone else in the UK hear about David Jason getting baptized at Plymouth the other year?
Apparently not the actor David Jason but I had a hard job convincing active JW's that that was the case.
They just WANTED to believe.

Yes, I've heard the river bank tale
Also the one about some government guy spying on witnesses at a convention and got struck by lightening or something.
They all begin somewhere and I'm certain there must be a WT machine churning all this stuff out.
It gets crazier!
I think they must have sent someone on the writing department on a creative writing course...
another tidbit of information about this generation from the 1/15/2014 study edition under "let your kingdom come - but when?".
they've changed it again.. this generation will not pass away14-16.
what is a third reason for believing that gods kingdom will come soon?.
The truth is, if you tell a lie you have to tell another one to cover over the first and so it goes on.
The trouble is, they never seem to learn.
And as long as people keep believing the lies they will keep on making them up.
And so it goes on...
