"The Former Things Will Not Be Called to Mind” How Can This work!

my previous thread talked about how the jws believe that jah will magically remove all memories of their dead loved ones in the "new system.

" thus no sorrow.

ok so god will erase all memories of your dead children from your mind.

My previous thread talked about how the JWs believe that Jah will magically remove all memories of their dead loved ones in the "new system." Thus no sorrow. OK so god will erase all memories of your dead children from your mind. So of course a person must ask will god erase the memory of your children out of your mind, or everyone's mind? If he does that to everyone's mind then no one will have any memories of anybody's children. How could that work?
If that works then the conversation in the "new system" would go something like this.
"So Mary what happen to all the children?
"I don't know it seems odd that there isn't many children around."
"Did you have kids in the old system?"
"I don't remember but maybe I did, because of all these stretch marks on my belly."
"But I don't remember a damn thing."
What would make more sense is god erases the memories of your dead children out of your mind but everyone still can remember them in their minds.
"So Bob tell me I really have the feeling that I had kids in the old system and I loved them very much but for some odd reason I can't seem to remember them. Do you know anything about children I might of had?"
"I can't tell you Susan!"
Susan says "I got to know Bob. I'll tell you what I'll make you a deal, I'll tell you about your dead children and you tell me about mine!"

i know i would be miserable if i could remember all my dead relatives.

all my dead children, parents all my worldly family members and friends, yes and the billions of other people too.

all the people jehovah will be killing off in the years to come.
The Bethelite

If you met someone on the the street and they told you how they were very happy serving their god however their children decided to join a different religion. So of course they had to shun them. Because of their decision their god now has no choice but to kill them off an millions more.
Then they tell you "The good news I can't remember any of this now."
What would you say to this person?
I would say which way is it to Jones town?
How can millions not see this insanity?

Since I'm in a brain washing cult, so what is the answer to this dilemma?
Jehovah will simply wash my brain some more and get rid of the memories of them all together.....ahh....the love.....I feel so much better now!

my pimi wife listens to a lot of the meetings on the phone with the speaker on.

when i am watching tv i hear the meetings in the background.

i just cringe with how a witless can't give a comment without having said jehovah at least two times.

George Carlin once said. "I have a real problem with anyone who uses the word 'Jesus' 36 times in a two minute conversation!"

Debate

back in the day, russell and rutherford would hold debates with other religious leaders.

why has jehovah's witnesses stopped doing that?

i think it would be very interesting to see how they would hold up on a debate now.
The Bethelite

The simple answer in a nut shell is that after 150 years of false prophesies all the bad information that they gave that changed over the years, all the new light that became old light that became new light again, they would look like total idiots!
