the bible talks about hell, jesus spoke of burning in hell, but the witness claim there is no hell......can someone please explain their reasoning...same with heaven..
Here is a JW response to jws" comment above:
Which is why we don't believe in the same kind of hell other religions teach. Hell is just death. Satan "wins" if he merely keeps you from believing in or serving Jehovah, not if he "tortures" you... that doesn't even make sense.

For those that believe there is a hell, I would really like to hear a refutation of jws' comment above. Great reasoning!
read the first paragraph (below)....wow how/why do they write this stuff?.
"there is a differencea big differencebetween education and propaganda.
education shows you how to think.
I read the first one before but had not read the fourth one. Unbelievable!
Thanks for starting this thread, now I will have it bookmarked.
the majority of people i know who are married either have cheated at least once or have mentioned regret to ever having married.
as witnesses, we were taught that marriage should be lifelong unless adultery occured and even if it did, many times, eccouragement was given to forgive.. now, i see many couples go thru the motions but almost hate their status.. so, are marriages meant to be "forever" or what?.
Ya gotta remember. When this whole marriage thing started people only lived 40 years. Nuf said.
bet it's not as bad as this:.

there are tons of tv/movie programming - not to mention other more educational tools - on the web that could quickly replace the poor habit of channel surfing and potato-couching for family entertainment.. just wondering if anyone has done this?
how difficult to do?
has it worked out?.
Interesting. Bookmark for later
the wife just got back from a one-day special circuit meeting (or whatever they call it) at the regional assembly hall.
it's got a capacity of about 1,200, fully paid for, staffed by volunteers and in use for less than eight hours.
then the guy making the announcement tells the crowd that the one-day expenses for the gig was about $6,600 (?!!!)...

I've heard of the CO and DO and all the rest, but the COW. Now that't funny.
It really is amazing looking at this arrangement from the outside. And they brag because they don't pass the plate. It amazes me how the intelligent people I know can't see what's going on.
this letter to the editor appeared in today's paper: http://www.monticellotimes.com/articles/2009/04/16/opinion/letters_to_the_editor/851witness.txt.
this is basically a response to the article that was published about me and my family (which, frustratingly, has already been archived).
in it, i claimed to shunned by almost all friends and family and to have been neither df'd nor da'd (both of these claims are true, by the way).
Shepherd Book,
Do you by any chance know the Gary Kerr that posted? Check your pm's.
i have a lot of them but this one my wife told me takes the cake!.
my wife was about 15 yrs old and was attending the bookstudy at this sister's house.
the sister's hubby was a non-believer but her daughter was a jw and was married to my wife's uncle who was also a jw.
I doubt anyone can top the first post. Drooling...gonna have a hard time forgetting that visual.
i posted a thread earlier this week about a conversation i had with my jw ex-wife.
the next day i sent her this e-mail.
one should never be afraid of ideas.
Bookmark. Want to be able to find this excellent letter later. Thanks S4
