Ok so the Bible suggests that the devil tried to tempt Jesus with food, power and invincibility. Inquiring mind needs to know did he really turn him down. Did he lie to Adam and Eve? So was it the Devil or God who allowed Jesus to come back to life. Maybe Jesus had a lapse in memory and went for the devil's deal and that's why He have not return.

devil question
by Carol1111 ini had a discussion with 4 jws today and they told me that jesus could not be tempted, ( they say that he would not be perfect if he could) but also they told me that satan tempted jesus in the wilderness.. can anyone clarify their beliefs please.
i like to give them a reasoned argument when i talk to them, but have never noticed this conflict of ideas before..

Did you ever think about being persecuted?
by Funchback ini was introduced to the jw religion at the age of 7. i can't recall when i was taught about having to suffer persecution in the so-called last days, but i do remember thinking that i would crumble under pressure.. as i entered my young adult years, i imagined how governments would persecute us.
i had thoughts of being tortured for information and then how i would say anything to the torturer just to stop the pain and then be labeled a modern-day judas, missing out on everlasting life.. the jw way of life and expectations are both scary and unrealistic.. i am glad i have canceled armageddon.
also, if i should ever be tortured for some belief or principle, i shall remain strong until the end.

I'm James Mixon's son and writing my thoughts for my father:
I, vividly, remember sitting in the Kingdom Hall on a Thursday night, listening to speakers scare us with tales of persecution in Mozambique and Malawi - Beheadings with machetes, rape of women and children, and executions of adult males. We were told it was due to Witnesses being "faithful", but, in hindsight, with a more realistic view of the world and history, it obviously had more to do with ethnic cleansing and tribal war. Funny, that they could equate the viciousness of a third-world Country with what we could expect, as Witnesses, in America.

Not me but my kids had nightmares. It makes me ill thinking about what we put our kids through. Yes one day you mom may be raped, I may be beheaded....It's amazing that you adults today that were raised in the borg have come out it sane, evil spirits, watching your mother and sister being raped, no place to hide and bad nightmare for a child. What the hell was wrong with us, what kind of parents were we...

Vanderhoven7; If the child is working and have a goal it's great to be there for them, cost of living is a lot different from when I was young. It's rough for young ones especially if they were raised in the borg....My son a project manager for a large electric firm, but paying 2000 a month for rent makes it hard to save for a down payment to buy a home.
