  Trouble in paradise!

  by Confusedalot in

  just for fun, some thoughts about the paradise teaching:.

  will all the carnivores be transformed anatomically?

  if a lion is transformed into a herbivore would it still be a lion?

  The more I think about it the less I like it to be honest!
  

  Please keep thinking.

  I know when a JW is giving you verbal nonsense... when their lips are moving.

  i recently posted about what would happen if my mom got sick,seeing that i'm apostate.

  even today i posted on a thread about blood transfusions.. i just received a text from my brother saying that my mom is in hospital and requires a transfusion to survive....is this a coincidence?.

  am i being punished by jehovah, or is the devil out to get me...i dont know anymore what to do.... things are getting too much, guess i should not have joked so much in my posts..

  Yes it is. Or maybe not, it is expected that a person at certain age starts having health problems. That's just life.

  Am I being punished by Jehovah, or is the devil out to get me...I dont know anymore what to do...

  Things are getting too much, guess I should not have joked so much in my posts.
  

  Nobody is punishing you, other than your own self. Life events have nothing to do with the so-called Jehovah or the Devil.
  

  If you love your mom, do the right thing as a human being, not because of some Jehovah nonsense.

  And a bug hug. Sorry you're going through rough times.

  Jehovah as a Brand

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  imo, one of the most brilliant things that rutherford did was to capitalize on the somewhat obscure, but in many ways legitimate, word jehovah as being the personal name of god.. as jehovah's witnesses (small w) morphed into jehovah's witnesses (capital w), other religions that had previously used jehovah in church names and church worship began to diminish its use.. this in turn only continued to distinguish rutherford's religion.. in addition, the watch tower corp's continued and relentless intertwining of "jehovah" and "jehovah's organization" is nothing short of sheer brilliancy.. search wt library or wol.jw.org for "jehovah" and "organization" together with words such as "please" "obey" "serve.

  " the interplay is endless.. in the recent post from a former missionary / co, he states: .

  "as far as the organization and jehovah, i was like everyone else.

  Relaxed rules toward oral sex?

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  these people won't state anything definitively, but here's an excerpt from the study article entitled "making christian marriage a success", in the august, 2016 watchtower.

  it does make me wonder.. although the bible does not provide specific rules about the kinds and limits of love play that might be associated with natural, sexual intimacy, it mentions displays of affection.

  (song of solomon 1:2; 2:6) christian marriage partners should treat each other with tenderness.

  Does this indicate a softening of their antiquated view of oral sex?
  

  Only if your mouth is tender, no biting!

  What Is the JW Belief Regarding the Millennium?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most christian religions believe it will be a thousand-year period of peace.

  jws, however, seem to believe in the resurrection and then life on paradise earth.

  but do they believe in the millennium the way other christians do -- where the lion will lay down with the lamb [bzzzt...mandela effect correction] wolf will lay down with the lamb?

  As i walked away i heard him say to the woman "that's an example of what i mean, i was talking and you..." the rest was inaudible as i walked on.
  

  LOL! That could be a scene from a cheesy sitcom. I hope you fully recover from the event :-)

  I wish I had not gone to the meeting last night

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the first thing i saw when i went in was the two video screens having the watchtower singers chorus doing a number.

  the sound wasn't up enough to make out the song, but the video was grotesque.

  the singers were swaying to the music, all independent of each other, no discipline, actually sloppy-looking.
