if a jw has absolutely no "worldly" contacts, works for himself and has only witnesses working for him-----stay away from them!

if someone has been "homeschooled" from infancy----stay away!.

Hello Minimus,
Yes, I was referring to your story. I wanted to know more about it.

Can you elaborate on your story? It reminds me of the attitude some of the Ancient Israelites had in the past.

Those who enter paridise, how are their sins paid for?

the wts teaches that when an individual physically dies he is 'aquitted' or 'set free' from sin.

the verse they use to support this view is romans 6:7 which reads: .

7 for he who has died has been acquitted from [his] sin.. .

Also my viewpoint is this,
The preaching work has to be done because it was a command from the Christ. But people should always remember that Jehovah is a most loving, kind and gracious God. There is nothing we can do to earn back our good standing with God. The life he gives is free, that means we can do all the preaching, teaching, learning, promoting, arguing, loving in the entire world and still could not pay for the gift God has presented to us all.
"If its free, then its free"

You said,
"Since the JWs take the death spoken here as literal (instead of viewing it as 'death in Christ' which the context of the verse really shows) they are left with a big doctranal problem."
The scriptures does say the wages sin pays is death. Anyone who dies in Christ will obtain life not death. That's why their is the symbolic baptism. If you are committed to doing the will of Almighty God and the Christ then you are living yet you may still die!

If Jesus only dies for Adams sin (as they teach) and that we pay for our own sins when we die, how do those that enter 'the new system' without ever dying pay for their sins?
As far as Almighty God is concerned if you are born in sin and do not exercise faith in the Christ you are already dead, though you are still alive. The scriptures says Jesus died for many not just because of Adams sins. Adam is dead and has been dead for eons of years now. He had not lived long enough to see the fulfillment of edenic prophecy. Plus he forfeited his perfect life by acting disobediently. Those whom had not had the opportunity to experience a life of human perfection from God's standpoint will be able to do so in the future by exercising faith in Jesus sacrifice. Jesus sacrifice covers over a multitude of sins, so people will be able to cross over into the new system with a clean conscience that God has forgiven them on the basis of Jesus sacrifice. But Jesus sacrifice is so precious that even those whom did not exercise faith in the Christ will receive a resurrection of judgement with an opportunity to receive everlasting life.

how do jw's get around this verse?

john 1:3 - "3through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

" i honestly can't remember and can't find anything in the pubs that deals with it.

Okay VanillaMocha,
Jehovah created The Word (Jesus), Jesus created all other things.
Jehovah resurrected Jesus from death, Jesus will resurrect all others who died.
Easy as 1,2,3

I think you should really abandon twisting peoples words around. Contrary to your beliefs there are people out here who are purely evil. Whom do not care about life or other people.
