  perhaps we could post the pictures the wt have presented in their literature that depict their version of paradise here for comment/discussion:.

  from: spirits of the dead​—can they help you or harm you?

  do they really exist?.

  I have no idea why someone downvoted LHG’s post, unless it was a slip of the hand. I appreciate all of your comments, Long Hair Gal. 😊

  Is 1st Century advice on marriage still relevant in today’s modern world?

  by liam in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  republicans want to make a law that forbids ‘uncontested divorce”.

  they based this on this scripture.. matthew 19. is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”.

  4 “haven’t you read,” jesus replied, “that at the beginning the creator ‘made them male and female,’and said, ‘for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ so they are no longer two, but one flesh.

  Would you be able to survive a three day Assembly?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  the last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.

  the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.

  i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.

  Rules and Regulations, I was at those Cicero race track conventions, too. I got my first kiss there. (Very chaste).

  I was reading on Reddit that a young girl was questioned repeatedly by an elder if she knew that having sex with dogs was wrong, and asked her if she had any ‘difficulties’ in this direction. She told him no, but he rather persistently asked her about this topic. Like, if she was SURE that she had never had sex with a dog, or any interest in such things. Disgusting!

  Did your witness family have a 'Thanksgiving' that wasn't on Thanksgiving?

  by SydBarrett in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my family had several elders, ministerial servants, auxillary pioneers etc, so it certainly wasn't one of those 'barely in' families.

  but in certain small ways, i think mine were slightly less hard line than some other families i've heard stories about over the years.

  one example was the 'fall dinner'.

  We had the complete turkey dinner, every Thanksgiving Day. But, it was just our family of 3, no guests, very quiet. But, they always had to remind us, that turkey is on sale.

  George, I didn’t know about Van Morrison! Yes, I remember the long, boring assemblies and conventions. I’m old enough to remember 7 day ones. As soon as I was old enough, I volunteered so I didn’t have to sit and listen to that 💩.

  Yes, also the wives didn’t like the elders, their husbands, looking at the attractive women.

  The org's "new lights" - corrupting Proverbs 4:18

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  proverbs 4:18 says, "but the path of the righteous....grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.".

  the bible "light" doesn't get brighter - it never changes - it's a person's direction & course of life which gets brighter.. w11 9/15 p. 14 par.

  15 - "when spiritual light on some matter gets brighter, do you try to understand the underlying scriptural reasons for the adjustment?

  That scripture is not about doctrine, WT misuses this scripture.
