  Many christian faiths have an EARTHLY resurrection belief.....

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. beliefs

  i was surprised to learn many other mainstream christian religions believe in a physical earthly resurrection.

  even catholics.

  it seems the belief is that as of now one goes to heaven to wait, then in the future will have an earthly resurrection.

  This is such bullshit...the bible isnt specific about cremation but we know its pagan in origin...birthdays are not openly condemned in the Bible and may be pagan in origin yet you cannot do this....absolute hypocrisy.

  An elder once challenged my challenge of saying wjnd chimes, dogs, wedding stuff, were steeped in paganism and yet he said "well some of those we are not completely sure originated with oaganism so its conscience matter, but bdays are proveN paganistic so you cannot celebrate it".

  great advice! I remember when i asked her questions about whether people would get married and have kids she we t right away and looked on Jw....then when she found no answer she was confused....the. Talked to an elder that we study with and he said we would see when the new scrolls are opened lol what a bunch of crap...she still is t convinced though. With that i could follow up with "why would the GB discourage us from having kids and getting married if there isnt marriage and kids in the new system?".

  or i could elaborate on what armageddon and post arma will be like...since she hates seeing people killed thatd pretty much get her thinking

  thanks phizzy! Good point!

  blondie--i like the "i feel" or "i think" approach...however that is easily contested by them because they just throw the proverbs scripture about not leanng on your iwn understanding at you and shut down.

  my intentions are both. I would love to use any of my doubts to help her think For herself. I know scripture battles may not work...but if i get the publications shell most likely try to shut me down with "where did you get this informatikn? Apostate sites?"

  This is it. I have to get active. My wife told me we have hospitality this weekend and i know the JW slingshot mechanism will engage after attendance. So i have to get ready.

  my wife is still very much in. She likes dancing, drinking (but not binging of course), she doesnt enjoy gossip, and she hates seeing bad things happen to people. She cares so much about people and what they think, but still holds preconcieved WT ideals as she was a born in. We have already agreed that when our kids have friends in school not all of them would be JW. That the girls would experience sports and prom and dances.

  Her mother was strict, no prom, hand-me-downs, runt of the litter of 2 girls type deal.

  My wife and i also so watch movies with some magic in them and violence, rude humor, and she watches trashy reality shows like abbys dance and bad girls club lol. She likes the matrix, the village, equilibrium, lord of the rings, etc. We read books that are similar...little magic because shes on the fence about what shes allowed to like/not like.

  she thinks ray franz is an apostate, but if i pushed the matter she MIgHT read crisis.

  She hates when others gossip and speak ill of the elders, hates hypocrisy.

  One wonderfu. And sometimes frustrating quality that she has is she is blunt, to the point, and easily offended when challenged...sorry those are more than one quality. Shes damn good at arguments and remembers many detwils about everything.

  So naturally shes a gifted conversation stopper, hence why i did so poorly the first time i expressd doubts.

  so there you have it.

  Hassanians and 1984-ians, psychologists please help me work on stopping conversation stoppers with her. I need a place to start.

  DS

  ps i know ive started similar threads and i apologize if im being redundant but i think if you know more about her the. It may help me to get your take on what topic to start with. Im already taking hassans advice and playing on her real personality, not the cult one.

  It's the year 5774 according to the Jewish/bible calendar. So the year 2239 is the thousand year reign...

  by EndofMysteries in

  even though the bible says nobody knows the day or the hour, if this world is still around around the 2200's, i bet the year 2239 will have many people awaiting something big, since that will be the year 6000 on the jewish calander.
