your comment though short, is very insightful
regarding OP:
dying sucks but so does never dying, so i guess we better make the best of what we have now
i heard today about a former jw/now apostate who is dying in hospital.
this information was accompanied by the comment of "wouldn't be awful to be lying there in hospital,dying as an apostate!
knowing that you have no hope!?

if you wondered whether the society would print blood cards this year, they won't.
blood cards are out.. consider the box found on the december km, entitled "new provision to assist us to abstain from blood".
the governing body has approved combining the essential elements of the durable power of attorney (dpa) document and the advance.
and canada is just getting this now??
carrying on from audespare thread.
i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?
say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.
. We cannot ignore Caesar’s law or the seriousness of an oath, but Jehovah’s law is supreme.
So then ignore Ceasars law

Did they say that if prince hadn't died of that overdose he would have been disfellowshipped and shunned by all JW'S all the planet?
And that would mean death at Armageddon?
Probably not
Although I imagine the org has shelved the caleb and sofia video on drugs for now

We don't say "aboot"
Never quite understood that one
so, talking with my wife yesterday.
she was out cart witnessing (barf) and one of the people she was with claimed to have know prince, or meet him or something like that.
well anyways...they or her or someone (they are all braindoogled) speculated or fantasized that since prince did not have any relatives or something or the other.
I heard dubs discussing the same thing
I couldn't say a word I was so annoyed by such an awful discussion
i don't know about your experiences, but for my brother and his family, going from catholic to witness was [is] a disaster.
he's an elder and wouldn't admit it, but his health and portfolio have drastically declined since his conversion to the jw faith.
it is apparent to all who love him.
Satan's attacking him so that's how you KNOW it's the truth
(If he was better off instead...)
Jehovah is blessing him so that's how you KNOW it's the truth
i remember hearing that the anointed that died would start ruling at the start of the thousand year reign.
now it seems they are teaching that these deluded bozos that die get to rule right now in heaven.
when did this teaching change?
I don't believe this is new.
Even the Rev Climax book talked about the John class participating in events taking place currently
There have been other WT articles illuding to this also
how in the world did they justify this torture?
imagine the children forced to sit in the summer heat at yankee stadium for 12 hours a day.
for 8 days.
I think these types of ads are more to guilt the parents into donating than to teach the kids. Kids don't have money, parents do and the BOrg wants that money NOW
After all parents need to lead by example, and if "I'm teaching my kids to give to jehovah how much more so should I be willing to give?"
Very typical of BOrg
