  My memorial visit this year.

  by TweetieBird in

  2. friends

  so i have a jw relative now living with me so i went to the memorial this year with him since he is new to the hall and doesn't really know anyone.

  the warmth was amazing (insert sarcasm here).

  one witness couple that has been stopping by and relatively new to the area saved us seats so they talked to me, one other sister and her brother talked to me.

  When I went to the memorial, not one person spoke to me, not one!

  "I know you" - ha! What kind of an intro is that?

  ok, so didnt jesus supposedly say "the end will come when you least expect it"?

  (or words to that effect...).

  so, with so many witnesses running around in an excited way talking about "100 years since the kingdom...etc" and "it may be our last chance to pioneer etc"..."may be the last international conventions".....doesnt this mean then that the end can not come now??!!.

  To a JW does this not mean that the end will come when the worldlings least expect it? Not themselves...

  Is belief in heaven after death relatively new to Christianity?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was surprised awhile ago when researching about cremation how until maybe 1940's or 1950's even catholics forbid cremation.

  the reason for no cremation was because they believed in a physical resurrection and cremation was a rejection of physical resurrection.

  it seems nowadays no christians believe in a earthly resurrection, only that they all go to heaven.

  John, the bible also references a 'new earth'

  Eom, the belief in a corporeal, earthly resurrection is probably a minority view within worldwide christianity, but it's still a common belief and not an insignificant minority. Bishop NT Wright is probably the highest profile advocate of this hope, but far from the only one.

  God Appointed An Organization In The Year 1936 (means JWs lost out!)

  by abiather in

  2. beliefs

  here are the excerpts from an article (published in an international magazine the world renewal, april issue of 2014) written by a former jw.

  he says he started searching for an organization that appeared on the world scene after 1935, which follow jesus 100%.

  if jesus is real, there should be some organization copying him 100% knowingly or unknowingly.
