  Do you think the Watchtower is right about about eternal punishment of the wicked?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  atheists believe death is the end of personal existence.

  but for those who believe there is life after death, what do you think is the nature of final punishment?

  in other words do you agree with the atheists and the watchtower society or is there eternal ongoing conscious punishment awaiting the wicked.

  Eternal torment I don’t know. But there are certainly winners and losers in the game of life e.g sheep & Goats etc. I think more along the lines of everlasting nothingness.

I was told that the ZOOM attendees wasn’t mentioned. When I left almost a decade ago this congregation had about 120 publishers. There would be around 70-100 attendees for any given meeting. The KH had the capacity to fit way more than the 120 publishers. Now they are physically down to 10. I wonder how long it will be before this congregation is closed down and Kingdom Hall sold.

  by joe134cd in

  with all the bethel leaks.

  i started to think about the levels of pimos with in bethel as apposed to the rank and file.

  would there be higher rates of pimos bethel due to seeing the more unsavoury side of it.

Would there be higher rates of PIMOs Bethel due to seeing the more unsavoury side of it. Or would it be lower due to believing it Jehovah’s one true organisation here on earth. What do you think.

  Has Anyone Had any JWs PHYSICALLY Put Their Hands On You (And Not Within A Family Unit Situation)?

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i was asking the above question because a pomo friend of my family told me about an incident involving her and a couple of dubs who were physically abusive in the past.. a single sister who was running around from one cong to another cong looking for a husband.

  she was visiting my friend's cong for less than a year.

  there was a commuter bethellite bro who was very friendly towards my friend (which i'll call her "q") and her fam members.

  I knew of 2 incident where so called brothers who worked secularly end up having a fist fight. TBH both incidents involved newish JW converts, and all were highly disfunctional, and probably would of had a fight weather they were JWs, or not.

  There have been other postings from ex-Bethelites who have verified these photos. It would be problematic if not impossible to have these photos unless you were there or knew someone who was. What ever the case. This is the 3rd person who has recently left bethel and come forward to tell their story. Like many have speculated Wt is an organisation that will rot from the inside out.

  anything you remember that went in org that you feel embarrassed now?

  i remember back in the 80s how seems like every magazine was about bashing other group's.

  how holy and faithful watchtower was compared to catholic church.

  JW gone bad - I can relate a very similar story to you. I remember taking a printed copy of the NWT for a talk No2. I was counselled not to do it. Skip forward a couple years and the same guy is now praising devises as a blessing from Jehovah.
