  What is the benifits to living forever?

  by Jayk in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  can anyone give me a valid reason for it?

  growing old is a drag.

  the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..

  I am a violinist - and the constant striving to improve / move and evolve my playing ability along with angst and frustration is what keeps me coming back for more. So the thought of JoeDoe my Artist friend learning and perfecting the violin in the Paradise ...the same as me .....is scary in its vanity! wtf? Does this imply a plateau point eventually ? I find the thought boring !

  WTBTS and the CCJW ?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  apparently they made this new corporation called the christian congregation of jehovah’s witnesses in the year 2001. this is the religious side of the cult and wtbts is the printing side and probably the money side.

  since the gb think they are of the ccjw and have even stated their non affiliation with the wt is their a way that jws can use this to their advantage, maybe during a jc etc.?

  i for example was baptized before 2000 so with the new corporation formed and the gb going to that side what could be argued during a jc?

  Jehovah uses the government to discipline his people

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  2. experiences

  i had a conversation with my dad concerning the legal cases the jws are loosing and how their policies are still lacking.

  he answered that he has confidence that jehovah will give his people the wisdom and discernment necessary to make the changes.

  i then explained that most of the improvements were made as a result of various court cases, including the australian commission.. my dad: well, than, jehovah uses the governments to discipline his people just like he did with the jews.

  So have they been paying $4,000 per day for two years?

  As I understand it ...Not a sent of the daily sanction has been paid yet as they took it on appeal which [I think] is where we are now~ hopefully time is up - pay day has arrived - imho [Please correct me if I am wrong ]

  The joy and value of human interaction. A truly heartwarming video to watch!

  with so many negative things occupying our minds as ones who have escaped the society, we need to focus on positive and upbuilding things.. this clip is wonderful.

  find their other stuff at www.theliberators.org .

  contrary to all we were told as witnesses, most people in this world are truly lovely, sincere people.

  Classic situation at Circuit Assembly Day

  by freddo in

  2. friends

  so i've just skived off to the car park half way through our assembly day - what a classic morning.. i'm sat right behind an early-teen kid with some sort of special needs (autistic?

  ) who's sat with what looks like his late-30's harassed single parent mother.

  (or married to an unbelieving mate?

  by cabasilas in

  2. friends

  i have a memory of some rock artist of the 60s placing a pic of herself and some guy in bed and her reading an awake magazine on the back cover.

  it could have been "is time running out for mankind" or something like that.

  anyone remember?
