I have come to believe there is NO resurrection, anywhere.
No heaven, no hell, nothing. Once you are dead you are gone. Live the best life you can now, this is all there is.
the latest watchtower of august 2020 discusses on page 15, "how will the resurrection likely take place?".
since learning real truths as opposed to the org's version of truth, has your view of the resurrection changed significantly?
just one example - regardless of psalm 37:9,11,29: matthew 5:5 & revelation 21:3,4, do you now believe that our destination is heaven rather than earth?.

2020 convention of jehovah’s witnesses.
we warmly invite you to watch this year’s three-day convention presented by jehovah’s witnesses.
as a result of the novel coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic, this year’s convention program is being presented online at jw.org.
If you're going to get baptized, you schlep over to Brother Wealthy's house and trek to his backyard to get dunked.
I noticed that too. Not that I wanted to see, but they stood there in their t-shirts and knee length shorts (gotta be "modest" y'know) wearing goofy looking masks even while getting dunked. Moroons!
today, it will be 90 degrees and humid!
this morning i’ll be playing tennis again.
while most people have been holed up in their houses, i have regularly played the sport outside.
Some people clearly have an attitude towards people who are NOT wearing a mask. Those people are assholes.
Just a different side of the same coin.
so within a week he changed the end time chain of events.
this time he said false religion will be along side with the govt.
powers when they declare peace and security!
@smiddy3
How about "Watchtard witlesses" ?
it’s always been 10 hours when door to door was active.
i’m curious of how it’s changed with only letter writing and phone witnessing approved.. i’m curious if they are able to do it for 3 hours like a typical door to door morning.
i would be surprised.
Mine went from the token 1 hour to ZERO.
what does everyone think will happen next on the back of the coronavirus pandemic?.
these are my suggestions;.
1) coronavirus will have a disproportionate effect on jw ‘growth’ countries like in south america and africa.
Are they going to hold people by their feet and shake them?
Yep, sounds about right to me.

Governments are starting to remove restrictions...when this happens the JWS will rejoin and the Fear, Obligation and Guilt and will be reinserted.
Actually they have gone all in with the instructions from The Branch (said with echo and heavy reverb) to continue remaining in their homes, avoid any social contact with anyone not living with them in their own homes, only go out for bare essentials and then as few times as possible, instructions on how to wash your hands, and generally treating the "sheep" as if they were as stupid as literal sheep.
They still use the F.O.G. though to try to force the R&F to OBEY secular guidelines that The Branch has made into orders from Gee-HO'-Vuh, and that the JDubya's do not follow the worlds lead in taking advantage of eased restrictions.
stay in period.
get deliveries of necessities so you dont go to store.
no contact except phone.
They start off with the "It is up to each family head" BS, then proceed to make guidelines into rules that if you break them you are not obeying Gee-HO'-Vuh. I just give them a base-ball bat look and walk away.
hello, i was hoping to get some clarification about how people are disciplined for immorality as a jw.
i became involved with a co-worker a few years ago, she was fairly aggressive and she initiated a physical relationship very quickly.
at the time i did not know she was married and a jw.
@ veryconflicted
You have received some good advice...move on.
