Did you at one time Believe-that you were not going to die. Does your still in JW spouse still believe?

by pistolpete in

this magazine says it all!.

and many of the older jws believed at one point in their life that they would make it through the great tribulation and into the 1000 year reign of christ without dying.

which is why so many jws stayed in so long.. is the main reason why jws ignore all the child abuse, the end of door to door service, and the closing of kingdom hall for almost two years----because they still believe they will not die?.

It was at one time in the past a "nice" thought. Now however after seeing my grand-parents die, my parents die, and some of my nephews/nieces die, and realizing that there is one thing the Bible got 100% correct. (Ecclesiastes 3:19) . . for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals; they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit. . ." " I realize that the "nice" thought is just that, fantasy.

Now I am getting close to the end of my own natural life and I intend to make the most of the time I have left, for just as surely as one does not exist anywhere before they are born they will cease to exist anywhere when they die.

Thank you! On behalf of my sibling the "adjusted" way to handle divorce and/or remarriage is truly food at the proper time.

WHO finally admits that the shit don't work.

the main reason most got the vaccine was to protect others.

now they’re being told they can spread it just as easily as the unvaccinated.

The evidence is there, if you care to look for it.

They won't look for it though. There is no one so blind as those who willfully choose to be blind.

Is Bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding the prelude to the great tribulation?

by Disillusioned JW in

is bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding a prelude to the great tribulation?.

full disclosure: i still don't believe in the bible's claims about the existence of the supernatural, even of jehovah god (i'm an atheist and a scientific/philosophical naturalist), but i am asking this question because recent events are starting to seem (to me) to fit well the description of some prophecies in the bible.

consider the following.. several hours ago (on 11-26-2021) as i was about to enter a local fred meyer store of my city (in suburb or small city in the metro area of a large city) a person i know told me that a moment earlier a person left the store in a hurry with a cart load up with unpaid merchandise (i think i was told it was groceries but i don't remember that for sure).

The strain is called Omicron is said to be far more transmissible than the Delta strain and more dangerous. The news says it is mutating rapidly and has multiple new mutations.

No surprise there. Dr. ~~Josef Mengele~~ I mean Faux-Xi, has had two years since the start of the planned "pandemic" to engineer new strains that will be more successful in the coming global depopulation agenda. Just wait until one that is 50% more fatal than the ones they have already engineered shows up.

Nothing to do with the bible there.

2/2022 WT: a repeated request & more doubletalk

by neat blue dog in

we all know the now famous quote, "all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

" well, this point is regurgitated in the latest wt, along with yet another new bunker scene:.

"during the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical .

If you think you miss the "spiritual conversations" at JW "get-togethers", reading that thread should immunize you for a while

That's why I stop in there every now and then. The slobbering worship of all things governing body, the way they dog-pile on anyone who makes a comment even remotely sounding like some actual thought went into the comment before posting it is enough to make me want to run, and run fast as far away as I can get from anything JW.

Perhaps they'll have to excavate basements to WTBT$ specifications.

Could be. And remember what Rubber Face said about painting with a 2" paint brush? They will have those poor Dubs digging out a basement bunker with teaspoons!

My take on the WT paragraph?

An elder is concerned about a fellow believer’s choices in dress or grooming. The elder will ask himself, ‘Is there a Scriptural reason preventing me from saying something?’ Conscious of the need to be controlling, he might ask another elder for his backup. Together they will review their personal viewpoints on dress and grooming. Then they will arbitrarily make a list of dos and don’ts. They feel that Christians have no right to express their individual taste even within Scriptural limits. So in determining what counsel is needed, the elders will consider if the person’s choices comply with their own personal tastes in dress or grooming. Jehovah's Witnesses do well to realize that two opinionated Christians will make personal choices for them, and to avoid making the governing body sad that must be acceptable. Jehovah's Witnesses should strive to always impose their own standards of right and wrong on fellow believers.
