  Try this on a JW

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  2. beliefs

  this is not intended to expose wrong teachings etc, just to promote thinking and asking questions.. 1) ask if imperfection and death automatically follow sin.

  jw will answer yes.. 2) ask if satan is imperfect then.. 3) sit back and watch them try to work out what the right answer should be.. sf.

  if you had 2 minutes with an old witness friend or with a family member to convince them the 'truth' is a lie and the gb isnt being directed by god what would you say to get their attention that might make them question their beliefs?.

  Sister may have had a slight heart attack, do I text her?

  so my cousin phoned and told me my jw sister was taken to hospital with chest pains and it may have been a slight heart attack or possibly she's starting with angina.

  now as some of you know my sisters and brother have had little to do with me for 29 years.

  we've met at funerals, or arranged them, but i just thought today what if she did die?

  You did the right "normal" thing Xanthippe by reaching out to your sister in a loving caring way and it seems to have been a very good outcome please keep us posted

  Just a thought that occurred to me and I could be wrong and feel free to correct me if I am but doesn`t the word "window" imply that it has a pane of glass in it ?

  Did they have glass windows in Jesus day ? did Eutychus crash through it ?or was it an open window ?

  However dofp Satan is never destined to die a natural death after another thousand years of JC rule he is to be let out and mislead as many as he can before Jehovah God throws him into the lake of fire where he will be tormented day and night for ever and ever .Rev.20:7-10

  So according to that scripture Satan doesn`t die at all. Ever

  Has the Governing Body EVER apologized for anything?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  geoffrey jackson testified to the arc that the governing body has apologized for things in the past, so an apology to sexual abuse victims is "perceivable".

  what has the governing body ever apologized for?.

  22 q. just on that point, mr jackson, has the governing body23 considered apologising to survivors of child sexual abuse24 at the hands of elders within the organisation?25 a. i haven't been in any discussions with regard to that.26 27 q. is that something that you foresee might happen ‐ in 28 other words, that an apology at least be considered?29 a. the governing body has apologised on other matters, so30 for me to say ‐ i can't speak collectively for everybody, 31 but we have apologised on things in the past, in other32 areas, so it is perceivable.. .

  "What will the 1970`s bring"

  "Stay alive till 1975"

  " 1975 is 6000 years since Adams Creation an appropriate time for Christ Jesus Rule to begin"

  "Indications are that Gods kingdom Rule by Christ Jesus will begin before the end of the Twentieth Century "
