Well, of course!
It's all they've got.
It's not like many of them have accomplished anything of real merit or worth outside of the organization.

the rapture as non-jws tell me does not require dying bodily.
It is these kinds of subtle "hair-splitting" interpretations that cause sects.
Let's be realistic. The whole idea is a fantasy that is none-too clearly elucidated in the first place.
For all intents and purposes, what JWs and many other Christian sects believe on this point is essentially the same. Some minor detail about the alleged process is really not important. The fact that the WT admits that they explicitly do not use the term rapture "because of its connection to Christendom's" teachings proves that the WT writers are clear about that and understand that they are that similar.
I'm sure very few JWs could articulate the difference anyway.

Lemonparty: We do not use the word “rapture” here to describe this event because of its connection to Christendom’s false teaching. However, the faithful anointed still on earth will be gathered together instantly.
You nailed it!
They just don't want to admit that "Christendom" had it right all along.

Rory-ks: Why is this article only in the simplified edition of the Watchtower May 15, 2015, and not in the regular edition?
Good question. I can't answer that.

why did man go from living 900 years to 90?
by sowhatnow ini cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.
so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.
how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.

OMG once and for all, whats this idea of a three fold prophesy??
by sowhatnow inwell it happened again, i got annoyed at my mom telling me all about the co visit , and i couldn't help myself, i said' oh god mom its like the pope is visiting, all that info can be told with the regular elders you don't need 'special' people .. subjects ensue,.
she says 'your misled, your so wrong, no one else on the planet has the beliefs that we do, we are the only ones with the truth, i dont follow men, bla bla.. , 40 minuets... , misquotes all over the place, isaiah this and that, yada yada ' j"vah has to have an earthy organization to give us the proper food, bla bla.
i say ' no jesus is gods mediator, we don't need men and were told not to listen to men for they are imperfect.

What do you think? Should chimpanzees be granted 'personhood'?
by fulltimestudent inthere's a current court case in ny which is hearing that question right now.
the precise issue is the continued captivity of two chimpanzees, (leo and hercules, names bestowed by humans) in a medical research laboratory at stony brook university.. i suggest that the application has some merit.
are not all of us "animals?

Well, apparently some "people" might think so!
