To those still "in"... how do these scriptures impact you?

by leaving_quietly in

matt 7:13, 14: "go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14?whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.".

matt 24:44: "on this account you too prove yourselves ready, because at an hour that you do not think to be it, the son of man is coming.".

2 pet 3:3, 4: "for you know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4?and saying: where is this promised presence of his?

Early christianity started as an apocaloyptic cult......why should we be afraid of old apocaluptic writing?

Besides... the writing in Peter "2 Pet 3:3, 4: "For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4?and saying: "Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation's beginning."...was made vera late, probably around AD 130-150. Probably a lot of christians got tired of waiting for the coming.

Former Jehovah's Witnesses, will Jesus destroy all JW's when he comes to the Earth?

by Change Name in

what do you believe happens when one of jehovah's witnesses dies?

do they go to hell?.

if you do not respond, does it mean that you are only looking to discredit and bash the jw's?.

Dismissing servant

The same thing as happens to other people. They just does not exist anymore. They will be just as non-existant as they were before they were born.

New Stupid Assembly Rules

by WTWizard in

i have heard on this discussion board numerous rules that apply to upcoming a$$emblies.

some are designed to stop people from meeting the opposite sex; others, to make sure everyone is always ready to recruit new members into the scam.

i heard that some km inserts have been urging those whose congregation has cleaning assignments to sit in the section that they are assigned to clean.

That's an interesting observation. Sometimes it looks lake the organisation is doing it's best to scare young people away by making them bored. A lot of other churches have activities for young people, but the org has absolutley nothing. Young peaple are looked upon as a problem....they might like to meet each orhers and have som fun........and that might lead to fornication. So, no nice activities for young people.

Dismissing servant

Hi Patient! Welcome.

I know some people here talked about "under-cover brothers" some time ago. There might be more people like you here. Good luck with your under-cover apostacy.

As far as I know some people are share-holders that owns shares in the Watchtower corpoation. Are you saying that the boys in the GB are the share-holders puppets?

I was told that the identity of those share-holders are kept secret.
