Its very easy to disregard the reality of hell this side of the grave....dont ignore all the scriptures that say how awful hell is. Once you die, you will not be able to come back and warn your loved ones.

Is WT Teachig on Hell Biblical?
by Sea Breeze ini guess you could say jesus was the first christian, since he was the christ.
and as the first christian, jesus spoke more about hell that any other biblical figure.
but, he is also the figure that said that he didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.

JW Writing Committee has a dilemma with Stephen's prayer
by BoogerMan in(acts 7:59, 60) "and they went on casting stones at stephen as he made appeal* and said: “lord jesus, receive my spirit.” then, bending his knees, he cried out with a strong voice: “jehovah, do not charge this sin against them.” and after saying this he fell asleep [in death].
" *or, “invocation; prayer.” nwt reference bible).

They were in the very act of killing Stephen, rocks striking his head....he prayed to Jesus....pure and simple.

Aside from the alleged "composite Sign", what is the scriptural evidence for Christ's 1914 presence?
by Vanderhoven7 inmy take is: 1914 is not biblical since no dates are in the bible.
a hodgepodge of scriptures are ingeniously linked together; then stir in about 9 creative assumptions to arrive at a speculative theory on which to base wts authority.. nathan knorr to fred franz.
"there are some things that i know.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 -"the dead know nothing at all"
by aqwsed12345 inthe narrator of the book of ecclesiastes had very little knowledge of many things that jesus and his apostles later preached.
the author does not make statements, but only wonders (thinks, observes, often raises questions, and leaves them open).
he looked at the world based on the law of moses and found nothing but vanity, as the earthly reward promised in the law did not always accompany good deeds and earthly punishment for evil deeds.

Jesus had absolute knowledge of life after death....you cannot build a doctrine about this subject from ecclesiastes and ignore all the New Testament scripture on the subject.

Will God Spare China at Armagedon?
by eyeslice innot because they haven't been witnessed to but who is going to manufacture all the stuff for the survivors?
textiles and clothing, building materials, electrical components, air-conditioner for those living in the tropics and spacer heaters for those living in colder climes.
not to mention video equipment and computer tablets so that the survivors can watch the gb updates (though may they've gone to heaven but i'm sure there'll be plenty of the 'gb helpers', the next rank down, left).

Jesus looked around and chose China in 1990, as the Manufactoring Class (MC) for the new system.

Why did you leave the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Vanderhoven7 ini've never been a witness so i never left.
graeme hammond writes:.
for some years i’d had a growing irritation and disillusionment with the religion: i was getting tired of the pompousness, the arrogance and the control, i felt increasingly choked by their restrictions and i was drained by their demands on my time.

enoughisenough- Back in the early 70's, when we were feverishly working like beavers in anticipation for the coming attractions in 1975, I remember hearing a talk by an elder about how Jehovah would cause a worldwide earthquake to destroy all the cities..because he hated cities. Even then I wondered how the earthquake would spare the house I had picked out.
