So, is this present life it??

by Monsieur in

if there is a possibility that god himself as we thought he was is not real, then,.

is our current and present life, (the daily one we live, not necessarily our aspirations) all there really is?.

what do we have to look foward to if we are aware that we are not infinite.

Tec - Fair enough. The way you put it, I can understand and respect. Thank you.

See Ravens, now thats how you answer a question

"He's our creator" because some HUMAN said so in a book?

dazed: jesus made it clear what happens at death, he our creator he knows

But my point is... A 3000+ year old book and 3000+ year old distorted accounts aren't proof for me and many others. Sorry but I need undeniable proof and I don't see any. Jesus was a man that may or may not have lived. Theres not enough proof in existance to say 100% that he existed. And if there was a man named Jesus, there is no evidence that he came from heaven.

Londo, Tec, Ravens - Hope and faith are not proof. Where's the proof anything you think might happen - will happen? I know it's you opinion but what makes you think it is without question 100% just so as you always seem to present it? Is it in some 3000+ year old book? Im just curious why you're so sure of something that no one in history has ever proven?

Weird rumor I heard - JWs in Sweden

by sir82 in

jw
friends

i heard this from a "friend of a friend of a friend...." at least 3 or 4 intermediate steps before i heard it.. so it is likely distorted, but i'll throw it out there in case someone in or near sweden can clarify it.. .

i heard that the wts branch in sweden instructed all jws there to "get rid of" all (empahasized all) of their printed literature, and rely exclusively on the content of jw.org for their literature.. .

that's the entire extent of it - i also got a few speculations about "what it might mean" (the society is expecting persecution!

dazed but not confused

Would be amazing if they implament this but I doubt it. And if its only Sweeden, then why? only Sweeden? I wouldn't put too much faith in it. Like Jgnet said - I bet it is a Kingdom hall rumor; spreads like wildfire and has no substance.

That would be my guess. Keep us posted though...

To those still "in" - how do you keep up a facade?

by magotan in

i can't come out until the summertime.

in the mean time, i have to feign interest like i want to stay so i don't end up homeless.. .

i can't sit at the meetings without getting visibily irritated.

dazed but not confused

Ok... In the next week start going to the bathroom ALOT. At home, meetings, and ask to stop every 20 min at service and stay in the bathroom for 10 to 15 min. Then tell a little white lie that you went to the doctor and found out you have irritable bowel syndrome. You can't do part as it comes on so frequently. Service can become more sporadic....

If you feel bad about lying, then suck it up till summer time...good luck

Take 2 bibles to the meeting. Hard cover if you can still get em. Cut out enough of the pages so that a smart phone fits and play games. Make sure you sit close to the wall and in the back left or right corners. good luck

The other will be for when you have no choice but to use your bible...
