How do JWs know that millions who were martyred as Christians before the 20th century did not have the heavenly hope?
by Vanderhoven7 inas i understand it, jehovah’s witnesses believe less than 145,000 faithful christians existed prior to the twentieth century.
the other sheep christians did not start forming until after 1914. that means jehovah’s witnesses view millions martyred for their faith in christ prior to the 20th century as merely professed christians.. the question is…how do witnesses know that those millions who perished for their faith in christ were not christians at all?.

Active JWs making 'bad' movies
by neat blue dog inanybody seen the made for streaming movies "the stepmother" 1 & 2?
-- written and directed by chris stokes & co-written and starring marquis houston, both of whom are active jws, posting about going door to door preaching, putting jehovah first, yada yada.
and yet the movies have bloody violence, simulated rape, the female costar's chest hanging out the whole time & marquis even kisses her in the film even though he's married to a jw in real life (who's 19 years younger and came of age just in time to marry him).

Studies of the NT
by Balsam inbart ehrman delivered this presidential address to the audience gathered at the southeastern commission for the study of religion in macon, georgia, on march 14, 1997. a fuller discussion of the textual variants mentioned below (luke 22:19-20) can be found in ehrman's book the orthodox corruption of scripture, pp.
interpreters of the nt are faced with a discomforting reality that many of them would like to ignore.
in many instances, we don't know what the authors of the nt actually wrote.

Jesus paid it ALL for YOU
by JW Answers insadly, jehovah's witnesses depend on their religion to save them, and the bible does not point to religion as a saving point for salvation.. the video message below shows from the bible that for salvation, jesus paid it all for you.. are you saved?.

A Better View of Trauma
by Sea Breeze ini ran across this short essay and thought it was worth passing along.
trauma is not your fault, but healing is your responsibility.
what happened to you was not your fault.. it was not something you asked for, it was not something you deserved.. what happened to you was not fair.. you were merely collateral damage on someone else’s warpath, an innocent bystander who got wrecked out of proximity.. we are all traumatized by life, some of us from egregious wrongdoings, others by unprocessed pain and sidelined emotions.

Grace Gough ("Mouthy") and the 83 Tapes
by JW_Researcher ingrace gough (“mouthy’) sent me 83 cassette tapes 16 years ago (2006).. .
when she sent them, i understood them to be ‘testimonies’ of jws who became christians.
there are some labeled “so-and-so’s testimony” so at least some are that.. others appear to be talks, like the morning session of the 1981 “ex –jws for jesus” convention.

UNITED NATIONS
by JohnTron7 inwell, i wanted to write again and see if anyone else out there is more agreeable now with what i have posted on here for a few years and often scoffed at (did get one maybe).
since my older post were pulled except for one 5 months ago, how many now would agree with the escalating backlash of lgbtq laws and pro lgbtq supporters now flooding every form of media, who now will agree that it will not be the united nations that bring about the turn of government against religions but, instead the record number of lgbtq lawmakers in the senate that will enevitatily cause the turn against religion?
jesus said the last days will be like the days of noah and that would mean badness everywhere because of the offspring children (nephalim).
