whats so bad about believing people go to heaven?

by sowhatnow in

it occurred to me today, that so often, my mother will make the comment that .

"those false religions teach that everyone is going to heaven when they die, oh sure, .

all you have to do is be a good person, and off you go to heaven.

"Inhabited by righteous people". Put a designer label on some clothes, and million of people

will pay insane prices for them. It's all in the name. Group identities are no different. Embracing

them makes you feel special. Out of all the possible forms of group identity, none are as strong as religion.

JW's are at the top of the list, we will live forever but you folks will be toasted. We are special and we

have special knowledge, heaven would suck for those who are not called. JW view of heaven is

not that appealing.

$10 per pub. Money begging session last night

by StarTrekAngel in

last night, during our "christian life and ministry" meeting, we had a session on local needs.

elder opened the talk with a disclaimer saying that this was a reminder (cited psalms about how david loved jehovahs reminders).

he reminded us of how bless we are of having our own local assembly hall.

Bonnie your comment brings to mind something that was mention in the past few days,

Wounded Warrior project. The money received from donation for the purpose in aiding these

heroic veterans is under investigation. Greed steps in..

John 2:15 "stop making my father's house a place of business". These people are covering

every aspect of what a religion is not to be according to the Bible. They have no shame, they

know the flock will eat it up as the word of GOD. We should feel sorry for the GB they

are suffering from a Messiah complex, they no not what they say.

Honeymoon over for the carts

by Deltawave in

speaking with inlaws i another congregation today who said exactly what is being said in our own hall.

the trolly work is long and boring and no one even notices they are there anymore but walk right on by.

jehovah really is speeding up the work lol.

It's so funny, when the wife see those carts she takes a picture and show it to me when

she get home. In every snap the all look the same, bored out of their mind. She takes the

pictures to see if I recognize any one, hell it's been over 29 years since I was a JW. LOL

Who did you believe the scriptures were describing when you were a JW?

by James Mixon in

it never hit me until i was out.

matt:23;4 "they tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them.

on other people shoulders".

A good friend, a minister. We were talking one day about one of the member in the church,

the guy had a drug problem. I ask the minister do you think it's a good idea that he sing in

the church chorus? I still had some of that JW baggage.

He told me that why we are here to o help others. What do you think would have happen if

that had taken place in JW land. That open my eyes

Would you kill for the org?.......YES I WOULD!

by olongapo joe in

so, a few years ago my jw parents, my non jw sister and her husband, and myself were discussing religion and jw beliefs.

my parents of course defending the jw's, the rest of us, against jw's ( it may not have been specifically against jw's, maybe just religion in general) anyway, things are getting a little heated, and i finally ask my pops, if the watchtower bible and tract society told you to go out and start killing muslims, would you do it?

yes i would, was his reply, to which i say, then your not any different than the radical muslims killing in the name of religion.

James Mixon

I know some JW would be happy to go out and kill and sleep great at night.

Face it these people are living on the edge. If you can convince people to go against their

natural human emotions, hell yes. I hope if they do we are not on the hit list.
