  Resurrection

  by barbar in

  if a person is resurrected, are they really the same person?.

  it is a bit difficult to explain this, but are they not a copy of the original person (all of the cells are new) with just the memory etc reinstalled?.

  it seems to me that even if resurrection were real then it would not be the actual person who was resurrected but an image of them who thought, acted and remembered the same as the original.

  i was just a little kid when the 1975 thing came about, didn't pay much attention to it, after it was over, my parents told me it was just some people being over anxious, and being about 8 at the time i believed it, now when you research you find some amazing articles.

  what do you remember being told about 1975 as the year got closer ?

  First Christmas

  by yxl1 in

  2. experiences

  when we first left the dubs, we celebrated x-mas pretty much straight away, but had no decorations or tree, and only gave gifts to each other.

  for some reason it just seemed wrong to put up decorations and we continued to celebrate this way for about 5 years.

  we decided to put up decorations when it was my daughters 1st x-mas, and have never looked back.

  surely some of the prophesies came true, my old mom tells me that they all have bless her heart she is 84 and its all she knows.

  but i guess if you line up all of them the ones that did not far out number the ones that did.

  what do you say to someone who says god directed the witness's in bible prophesies?

  Did you really believe?

  by barbar in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am interested to know whether jw's or ex jw's on this board really did believe 100%.

  did you have doubts all of the time, did you have some confusion or did you never doubt at all?

  i recognise that most on this board will have had doubts at the end but was this always the case when you were a good dub?

  Why Do JWs Only Preach In Poor/Middle Class Neighborhoods?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  2. beliefs

  as my name suggests, i'm from nyc.

  i've lived in every borough of new york and spent time at most of the local congregations until i finally decided that it was all for nothing (my recent posts on this forum explain why).

  during this time, i noticed an interesting pattern - the jws only preach in poor to middle class neighborhoods.

  Realisation of your immortality

  by barbar in

  .

  how have you coped with the realisation that you will not live forever.

  if you truly believed it at one stage that you would never die and now realise that this is not the case, has it made you worried about death and how life is so short.
