    Recently I'm reading a book from Susan Thorne "Held by The Watchtower, Set Free by Christ"
    Among her experience, like most of ex-JWs, nothing to say, she wrote some doctrine of WacoTower and Dark Society, I think they are interesting.
    One of them is doctrine about ressurection.

    >"Roman 6:7 (NWT) says: For he who has died has been acquitted from his sin.' The context, however, makes it clear that what is being discussed is 'spiritual death--death to our former way of life, when we become Christians- not physical death. It is our acceptance of the value of Jesus' blood which acquits us from sin. According to the teaching of JWs, those still alive at the outbreak of Armageddon are judged on the basis of whether or not they are Jehovah's Witnesses.....It is difficult to see where in all this, is the value of Jesus' sacrifice. JWs claim to be Christians; they speak of Christ 'ransom sacrifice'. Yet they believe that those who die are entitled to a ressurection because they are acquitted of their sin (they, rather than Christ, die to save themselves from sin), and from then on their survival depends on their obedience to the new rules contained in Jehovah's scrolls"



    Is Susan someone in this forum?
