Brain Teaser
by BourneIdentity ini’ve always wondered about this one.
if the bible says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous, does that mean all mankind that have died will come back to life?
if so, what’s the incentive for jws to have an urgency to preach and save people?

Give us your Money!
by BourneIdentity ini know many on this site have differing backgrounds in other religions.
in your experience, what other religions are like the watchtower in that they offer “loving reminders” that at death, they can will them their 401k, stocks, bonds, homes, jewelry, land, savings, and so on?.

Holy Spirit - Present or Gone in the Congregations?
by BourneIdentity ini was doing some reminiscing and remember the days back in the late 80s and early 90s where i truly could say the meetings were so encouraging and that i felt the holy spirit present and operating on all of us.
today when i attend, there is nothing of the sort.
is it because jehovah has withheld it?

Anyone know any former long time Bethelites or circuit overseers?
by BourneIdentity inas you know, when you work your whole life, you pay into social security.
at retirement, you collect a paycheck from the government based on a percentage of income you drew for all those years.
do any of you know anyone that had been at bethel for decades and then were laid off?

Would this scenario make a totally devout JW renounce their faith?
by BourneIdentity inwe’ve all heard the stories of someone pointing a gun at a jw telling them to renounce their faith or die.
some live to tell about it, others don’t.
but what makes it seem easier to stomach is it just involves that person, no one else.

JWs - Followers of Men - 100% Proof
by BourneIdentity infor those that are convinced they are not following man, but jehovah, this example is 100% proof they follow men.
if they twist this to say they don't follow man, well, there is no hope for them.. the bible is very clear to honor your father and mother, it was and is so important, it's listed as one of the 10 commandments.
when that parent leaves the truth, either due to disassociation or being disfellowshipped, the child shuns them for life.

Refusing a blood transfusion
by BourneIdentity inhello all, first post.
i've been lurking for months and figured it was time to post a few things, i've been pimo for the last couple of years.. i was doing some thinking about an adult refusing a blood transfusion, especially one that has several children.
when you married and had children, you signed up to take care of them, to love and protect them.
