What comforts you when you no longer believe in a ressurrection ?
by EdenOne in

our family just lost someone dear and very close, a faithful jw.

as we went through the entire funeral services and meeting long time brothers and sisters, who in general have been very kind and warm towards us, we realize that the hope of resurrection is a meaningless utopia for us, like a fairytale for little children.

we don't have faith in it anymore, and serves us of no comfort.

What person/persons/group is behind the rebranding of Jehovahs Witnesses

with the jw rebranding program in full swing, who do you think is behind all this?

i'm not certain the governing body came up with these ideas.

at least not the old guard which died off around 2009.. given the fairly recent articles in the kingdom ministry and watchtower about the dangers of the internet and having the latest gadget, this rebranding effort can't have been in the works for much more than three years.. the makeover is slick...very slick...and very clever.
