If this was true and humans believe it to be a fact,how would this change the way we treat each other???You killed your ex wife and now she is back as your daughter, you raped your mother or sister, now you are a KKK member but you were black in your former life, you are marring your mother, too complicated....

It's uncomfortable, folks gazing from the rear. She needs her hair done, he needs a haircut, their kids are so unruly.
You know the meetings can be very boring at times, so you need some type of entertainment plus you can't sit in the front if your dress length is not appropriate for the elders wives.

What I miss about going out in service.
by compound complex inwell, very little, to be honest.
the structure and commitment of the ministry provided discipline necessary to my life.
therefore, i did it, as required, and felt some sense of fulfillment at the bible study stage.. i do like talking to people.

steve2: yes no coffee breaks, the work was too important before 1975. There was a urgent need too save people souls. Well I'am happy to say I didn't save one soul, no one paid attention to my message..

I will only believe in demons if...
by deegee injws are known to have an obsession and preoccupation with demons.. this obsession and preoccupation is not without merit given that jesus, his disciples/apostles, and the general public of 1st century ce judea and galilee are reported as believing in the existence of demonic spirits and in the possibility of demon possession of an individual.. exorcism formed a large part of jesus' ministry on earth.
the gospels and the book of acts describe many exorcisms where jesus and his disciples release people from demonic possession.. ___ .
but how do demons get inside a person's brain or body?

George Burns: God said: Let there be Satan so people don't blame everything on me, and let there be lawyers so people don't blame everything on Satan. Seriously, I didn't believe in demons when I was JW it didn't make any sense.....

Death and Judgement Day
by Tirisilex ini'm having a hard time with this.
what does the bible say what happens when you die?
when jesus was on the cross he said to the man that when he dies he will be with jesus in heaven.

Yes belief in judgement of the dead, likely Christianity copied the mythology from Ancient Egypt. Also up to the middle ages and beyond the stuff about sitting on clouds was accepted by Christian Fundamentalist.

If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?
by stuckinarut2 init is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?
didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.
seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

Attitude in Kingdom Hall vs. in church
by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu inso, today i went to a different church than the jw's for the first time in over three years.. it is a protestant african church.
my first thoughts: for people who are 'trapped in babylon the great (according to watchtower) these people really seem genuingly happy and sincere in their adoration for god.
what a freedom compared to the witnesses!

Question on the sun created in the fourth day
by opusdei1972 inin the first day elohim created light, and it was day and night in the first day.
then in the fourth day he created the sun, the moon and the stars.
of course, it did not actually happen, but what did the writer have in mind?.

Plants and trees get created before the sun gets created, humm. Also I guess he created Angels in one day on the 2nd day, when He made the firmament and divide the waters and God called the firmament Heaven. Or maybe the Angels were homeless up until that time.

Jehovah sure loves foreskins!
by rebel8 inan atheist (never jw) friend of mine is an rv for a jw who he is trying to deprogram.

David and the two hundred foreskins: Did King Saul test the 200 foreskins to make sure they were men or pigs. If the Philistines were dead we are talking about a lot of shrinkage folks, you would need a very fine tool to remove 200 foreskins. That is one sick story (David)....
