  Life after death

  by Phil in

  2. beliefs

  it is my understanding that a married couple will meet again after armageddon.

  what happens when one or both remarry after the death of one or both or several marriages, don't we have a poligimous situation?

  does anyone know if the jw membership is increasing or decreasing?

  a local paper in my area did a large study on relegions.

  one of the intresting facts pointed out that the jw have losing members for the past ten years.

  Latest Watchtower Magazine Increases Odds of Surviving Armageddon!

  by TooBad TooSad in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  99% of all jw's believe and are taught that to survive armageddon that you must be a jw or as a minimum be.

  associated with the jw's.

  however the april 1 "public" issue of the watchtower has some interesting wording.

  Herbert W. Armstrong - memories

  by Jim_TX in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an ad that appears when viewing certain pages on the jwd web site refer to herbert w. armstrong - and his religion.. i remember this fella... not personally - but through the radio - and his preaching that he used to do on the air.. i remember tuning in a radio station - far far away (when i was a kid) - in del rio, tx (or perhaps across the border in mexico - xerf?).

  he would get air time, and then preach - for what seemed like hours - although, i'm sure that it was only a 30 minute spot - or perhaps an hour-long spot of air-time.. i even seem to remember telling my mom at the time how much he sounded like jehovah's witnesses - in what he was preaching about.. i also remember my mom defending the jws - saying - essentially - that herbert armstrong was a kook.

  armstrong had his own set of literature... i really think that he was a 'subscriber' to jw literature... and probably stole many ideas from the watchtowers... or other publications that he could get his hands on.. or... perhaps it's the other way... perhaps the jws 'borrowed' from his literature.. in any case... it brings back memories.. regards,.

  Wife has gone back to the Organization...what can I expect??

  by Shadow1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i have been married for just over one year.

  while we were just dating, she had told me that she used to belong to the jehovah's witnesses, but no longer had those beliefs.

  i thought i could handle all of this (i am a non- believer), but she has since got back to the org (all her family belong as well).

  If Adam did not sin, would humans have lived forever on earth?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new testament talks consistently of a heavenly hope, not an earthly one and the idea that humans are to live forever on earth is not supported scripturally at all.. however, what would have happened if adam and eve had not sinned.

  the watchtower likes to make the point that it is only sin that caused adam and eve to die.

  romans 5:12 that is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.. what do christians believe regarding this scripture?
