I find the issue of memory and recall interesting on this point. How would we know we were ever dead or had died?.. Where were we before we came into existence?..Where did we come from if we are the result of conception by mother and father?....,gee. It's a wonder..!..

If there was a resurrection in paradise
by Sour Grapes insomething that bothered me even when i was a watchtower company drone was the thought of dying and being resurrected in paradise.
would the resurrected person really be me or just a copy of me?
if god could recreate one of me, he could also recreate five of me.

Hypocrisy in tomorrow's WatchTower study
by Isambard Crater inparagraph 15 says.... 15 besides abusive speech, the practice of lying is also a trait of the old personality.
for example, it is common for people to lie on tax returns or to lie to avoid taking responsibility for their sins.
by contrast, jehovah is “the god of truth.” (ps.

Registered charity lecturing on tax returns?...As for truth in Caesar's courts....utter twaddle. Seem to remember a WT sometime ago which appeared to condone lying to authorities if deemed in Jehovah's interest..?....

Who is your " I am" that your voice should be heard?
by The Rebel ini was recently thinking before i became " mike" i was an innocent baby, then as the days passed slowly by, i developed a sence of " iam".
as the days moved forward my body, slowly developed a a "sex organ" whilst my mind took on a sence of " emotional" and " intellectual" i am" .
this allowed me to become my current " i am?.

Good subject, and one that has often intrigued me over the years. So many questions are raised by this..... Who am I? Where was I before I was made?...Where did I come from?.. What is identity? Is this my first appearance as a live individual?... All seeking answers...It does give me tremendous empathy for others, as I could have been them were I not 'me'....Will I really die/disappear at death?...etc etc..

Seems to me a case of paranoia. Is their faith so brittle that it cannot cope with being questioned or analysed? I suggest that those who question and express doubts re the Org's credentials are more genuine and honest than those who blindly swallow everything without at least checking it's nutritional worth..... I have more respect for such honest questioners. They shouldn't be disfellowshipped, rather their questions etc should be openly addressed and appreciated. They're not seeking to sink the ship, just testing the seaworthiness of it.

What is the latest trend in jw land
by bola ini want to know the latest trend in jw land.
after i have disassociated from jw land last year, now my father has forced me to write a reinstatement letter.
and i will soon be reinstated back very soon because those cult elders will meet with me.

Your post doesn't seem right....lacking credibility.....assuming you are genuine for a moment, I advise you not to do anything you're not 100% happy doing, including writing a reinstatement letter....to do so is a recipe for unhappiness ...
