  Pondering Noah account

  i see my wife being pulled into the org a little again, by some good people and kindness.

  she grew up a very happy jw, and to leave is very hard for her.

  but she has opened the pandoras box of her brain and can't shut it.. we were discussing blood a couple days ago.

  I'm guessing penguins were able to fly their way over to the ark and decided that there were enough flying birds in the world already so they'd swim for the rest of their liveS once they returned back to the Antarctic

  What was the most rebellious thing you did while you were a devout jw?

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking about how humans being imperfect and satan's influence was the root of everything bad that anyone has ever done.

  well i know that apparently everyone is vulnerable which got me thinking about what "bad" things people have done while they were a jw.

  i'll start it off.

  What the writer of Revelation intended by his cryptic 666 mark of the beast reference.

  by Island Man in

  2. bible

  it's amazing how simple the answer is and yet the watchtower organization seems completely oblivious to it.

  revelation itself tells you what the number is: "a man's number", "the number of his name".

  the writer of revelation spells it out and yet they don't see it!

  By saying things like magic are bad, do the WTS imply that it exists?

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering why they're so uptight about magical things (cough cough sparlock cough) and was just remembering some quotes in the publications about demons and stuff i saw on another thread and i seriously think that they believe this stuff is real.. once i asked my mum why previously she said not to watch magicians because they're bad blah blah when it wasn't real, hence the term magic trick.

  she admitted that while most of them are probably innocent, she still thinks some of them (anyone heard of dynamo?

  ) have some demonic power behind them.. i seriously wanna hear some other views on this .

  Just thinking about the magic practising priests in eygpt. How different are they to modern day magicians? (Except for the fact that most people nowadays are smart enough to know that that sh*t is fake) People would only call it "occult" magic if the magician makes it a part of the act. A 5 year old who just got a magic kit for their not-a-birthday-but-we-don't-want-you-to-miss-out-day and Chris Angel or whoever it is could do the exact same trick but one would apparently be demonic and bad.

  Side question, do jws believe people can are still being possessed today? If so, what would they do in that situation?

  Wait Ameila Ashton there are female anointed ones now?

  I'd have to agree and say being (or should I say thinking that I was) the smartest person in the room at school was pretty fun.

  There are some questions I have had about the JWs view "post-Armaggeddon"

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have always wondered how jws believe about "post-armaggeddon" earth.

  question#1 how will jws survivors bury all of the dead bodies.

  with about 4 billion people on earth today how can 8 million jw(1/2 of them children and babies) bury all of those dead bodies?

  i took these pictures over a month ago.

  i had not realized that they were really pushing their site.

  this was at our farmers market, although they were not officially in the market area but off the side on the sidewalk.. .

  "Almost seems a bit clever. They know that nobody will come over and talk and they know that if it said jehovah’s witnesses on the sign or in the URL nobody would go to the website. But jw.org is easy to remember and might just get a few curious ones to head over on their mobile device after seeing it."

  Mynameislame you're so right. What about in the model prayer where jesus said to sanctify god's name? Last time I checked god wasn't a website.

  I never got the "pain and death will be no more" stuff. So can I jump off a cliff without dying? Will it still hurt? Can humans live in places that they woulent be able to before like Antarctica without worrying about hypothermia and frostbite? (I still want my pet penguin damn it)

  What about things like drugs and alcohol? Can you take as many drugs or drink as much as you want without dying because I thought the main reason we shouldn't do that today was because it was bad for you and the bible says to take care of yourself.

  Also, who gets resurrected? I was always taught it was almost everyone who had died because many had not had the chance to know about god. What about a jw's relatives that left the "truth" before they died, do they not get resurrected? That's like their no.1 selling point in terms of getting people interested in the religion but if your loved one rejected god then it doesn't apply to you and you only find out once you're in too deep.
