  Why are JWs so afraid of apostates?

  why are jws so afraid of apostates?

  their view of apostates seems to be out of the realm of the ordinary, the natural.

  its as if the words of apostates are supernatual or spiritistic as if apostates are some kind of jedi knights who can slightly wave their hands or twitch their eyes and bring one under a spell.

  Is it kind of funny that JWs don't give Jesus resurrection day any notice?

  if you think about it, for a die hard christian the day jesus was supposed to be resurrected and back in heaven, thereby fulfilling his earthly mission, is a very big day.

  all the jws i know never even thought about it.

  in fact if i had mentioned it, i bet they would have looked me at strangely.

  that very big day was 1981 years ago.

  So the resurrection is on their mind every day and hour of the year, not once a year.

  @phizzy LDS.ORG is ranked 2,473 (average position of the last 90 days) on the world ranking list and about 75% of their traffic comes from within the USA

  JW.ORG is ranked 1,814 (average position of the last 90 days) on the world ranking list and about 21% of their traffic comes from within the USA

  JW.ORG is still climbing and you can expect them to do so over the next couple of months and years

  Why did Jesus tell the convict on the cross next to his, that he would be joining him in Heaven TODAY??

  by Faithful Witness in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  maybe a silly question, but i'm curious about this part of the story of christ's crucifixion, when the 1 thief challenges jesus to save himself and "us too" from their deaths, but the 2nd thief rebukes him and pleads with jesus... .

  luke 23:42-43: and he said unto jesus, lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

  and jesus said unto him, verily i say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.. .

  Like i said before Jesus was not in Heaven that day... according to the King James he was somewhere else....

  Acts 2:31

  He seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soule was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

  Are JW'S "hated" in all the world? Or...are they considered IRRELEVANT?

  8 not ashamed of the good news .

  while it is true that jehovahs witnesses are hated and opposed in all the nations of the earth, this is in fulfillment of what was foretold to be an identifying mark of genuine worshipers of the one living and true god.

  Why?

  why does the wtbs do what it does?

  if it's just to make money, they are easier ways.

  online bingo websites for example.. what is the motivation to have millions of followers "voluntarily" giving of their time?

  i think next year they will have the memorial at a larger event space like where they held their circuit assemblies.

  i noticed each first congregation at each kingdom hall has to leave immediately because each 2nd congregation is coming afterwards.

  the first congregation does not really have the time to greet new people after the memorial.

  we have 3 congregations sharing a Kingdom Hall. Every year two congregations rent facilities in a Hotel and one gathers at the Kingdom Hall
