Death Anxiety?

by Blueblades in

jw
friends

sooner or later, all of us will face the stark reality of death.

many people go through life with an increasing awareness and increasing anxiety about their eventual fate.

what happens when we die?

Freddy Krueger

Ahhhh.. Many questions here. I didn't read the book, but does Mr. Morse give his opinion on these? O.k. here's my spin.

What happens when we die?

Well, whatever happens, we all get the same result. Atheist, Catholic, Hindu, Muslum, etc. I don't care what you believe now. When you die. The same answer is revealed. I love the great debates between atheists and theists. You have geniuses, scholars and educated people debating this for years. These people are not dummies. Yet guess what? One group is wrong. Hmmm. Just a thought.

Do we simply cease to exist with our consciousness obliterated for all eternity? Or do we have an enduring soul that can continue to experience awarenes and some form of ongoing "life"?

I think we do go on in some form. Where? Not sure. Another life? Spiritual realm? Back to earth? I don't know. But there has been too many personal experieces for me, along with coincidences that has convinced me. I can't convince anyone else, again I believe this is a personal experience each must have on there own. I just feel there is too much unexplained phenomena to just brush it all under the carpet.

Does God exist?

Again, we will all find out. Right now this is just a seeker's question. I don't really think we need this answer except to maybe please our thinking mind. Because..... WE exist.

Without a creator, how can the universe exist?

Actually, very easily. The universe is self contained. Whether the big bang with a creator or not. Once it started it continued to go on, on it's own. So can the universe exist without a creator? Yes. Was it started by a creator? is a more appropiate question. The answer to that is....... I don't know. I never assume anything. Show me.

What is the purpose of the universe and what is its ultimate fate? Does our behavior in day to day life really influence what happens to us after we die?

Simply put. I don't know.

Why do so many people believe in a heaven and a hell? What is the basis for these beliefs?

Well, I'll tell you what... it's not because of experience. It's because of the written FICTIONAL words of cultists to instill fear and control into there followers. The basis is old folklore.

Should we be anxious about our death or just enjoy life in the here and now?

Definitely enjoy life in the here and now. Because you know what. That's all you have. The only thing that exists and is fact is the here and now. you are reading these words now. Not 5 minutes ago. The past is gone the future is yet to come and the only real reality we have is NOW. Fact. So, enjoy every minute. Great line from "The Shawshank Redemtion" Morgan Freeman's charater to Tim Robbin's character - "Get busy living, or get busy dying" So, every day you worry about dying is another day you might as well be dead. So, if you constantly are anxious of this, your just drivng yourself crazy and probably annoying other people in the process, so I would say go join NASA, cause all your doing on this planet is taking up space. :)

Can these ultimate mysteries be solved by science?

I think we could get more concrete answers if science took the subject more seriously.

What does science already know about the mysteries of creation?

Probably more then they are letting on. I mean think about this cloning stuff they've been doing.

O.k. that's my 2 cents, talk later everyone. Oh and sorry about the hiatus. It took me awhile to get my body back after Jason took my head. But I'll be back. The rematch is coming soon. Look for it "Freddy Vs. Jason 2" Yes, I'm serious.

Behind the Scenes of "The New World Society"----A Spiritual Paradise?

by Blueblades in

jw
friends

in 1954 the watch tower society released a new film,"the new world society in action,"which acquainted its "viewers with the magnitude of the society's organization,its institutions,its field activities,its large - scale conventions, its smooth, efficient functioning and the spirit by which it is moved.".

what its millions of viewers would never see was what went on behind the scenes.what has happened behind the watch tower facade, to real people, not just in the past, but in more recent years?is it a "spiritual paradise" as claimed?.

we all know of the way that the society has treated its own behind the scenes,such men as edward a.dunlap,respected registar of the society's gilead school.disfellowedshipped.raymond v.franz,governing body member,disfellowedshipped.william and joan cetnar,disfellowedshipped.william h. bowen ( silent lambs ) disfellowedshipped.. however,are you one of the "nameless others" who gave twenty, thirty, forty, fifty years and more of your life in devoted service, only to be demeaned in old age because you tired of a non - scriptural agender, or dared question the "anointed oracles" of the "theocractic organization".. behind the scenes,alcoholism is prevelant among staff members, there are the distraught wives of the headquarters staff, immoral behavior, suicides, this is kept hidden from the membership around the world.all of it is documented, yet, under threat of vilification and fear of man, many serve with mute obedience.. the new world society in action, is a facade!

This is the movie they should be showing. Actually there was a movie like this, I believe it was called "Animal House." But the society didn't put it out. It's their turn now. Too many lives are being ruined becaues of their hidden sin, and their sheeps clothing.

THE DEVIL! Ooooooh, Scary!

by OK Computer in

hey folks, i started a thread like this on another forum....... i have heard many experiences from people who claim to have had intimate experiences with demons and the like.

most of it i easily discard as emotionally unbalanced physco-drama, and for good reason.

however i have heard much on this *ouija* board stuff......."ohh, it is freaky" kinda talk.

Freddy Krueger

Welcome Lynn,

Most of the time it is explained scientifically. For instance - Your subconcious actually is moving the planchette. We have nerve endings in our finger tips that allow this to happen.

However..... There are some studies that are very strange. Check out this link I posted awhile back regarding the power of the mind and it's manifestations.

Songs that get you moving...

by czarofmischief in

i'll start:.

Freddy Krueger

A Lloyd Dobbler moment, if you would.

Happy Man -

Right now you don't seem happy. I don't blame you. It looks like the society is really giving you a hard time. Now I have read some of your posts, and I don't know if you are still a JW or not. But it looks and sounds like it. As far as everything happening for a reason, yes I do believe that. Do I always like it or have the answers. No.

I'll tell you one thing though. If one of your children got disfellowshipped for something they didn't do AND denied over 8 times to come back. This should be the first sign to you for you to open your eyes and realize God does not work through an organization like this. In my opinion, the best thing that could have happened to one of your children was to get disfellowshipped. Maybe this will open your eyes to the real truth. The fact that you have been in the organization for so long, has blinded you. Step outside yourself for a minute, and take a look around. The GB is not who you they think they are. They know it too. Do what God says, seek truth and it shall set you free. Right now you're being force fed lies, but you don't see it.

Hopefully this tragedy (Blessing in my eyes) will now allow you to see the light. The very fact that the higher ups can get away with this immoral activity should really put things in perspective for you. Reading your post I can sense you are genuinely hurt by this. That is because it is a painful thing the way they osstracize you. Remember they teach love and forgiveness. But... if you start asking questions, questions God wants you to ask. You will be reproved or DF'D and deemed an appostate.

So in conclusion Happy Man, follow your heart, not the word or laws of this cult.

And again to answer your question does everything happen for a reason? You bet. Now the fact that you are right inside the tornado feeling all this is kind of giving you more turmoil. You have this whirlwind of emotions and confusion. The answer and solution for you to get out of this situation is actually pretty simple. Not easy to do, but simple. Here goes:

Get out of the tornado. Stand outside for awhile and look in. You will see all the disastrous effects this tornado is causing to people all over the world. However, you will now be on the outside looking in. And hopefully you will see the truth. And end up a truly happy man.

HI Nan,

The book by Carl Olof Jonsson "The Gentile Times Reconsidered - Chronology and Christ's Return" is also a good read. It's not that simplistic. But a good book for you library. It's available from this site.

In Praise of BLONDIE

by minimus in

jw
friends

i wanted to say that we have so many fine posters here!!!!

it's wonderful knowing the collective years of experience that we can tap into because of the fantastic variety of people that we have here.

specifically, blondie always comes to my mind when i think of valued posters.your research and ability to analyze is about the best there is on this board.

Freddy Krueger

I agree, I just responded to Blondie's latest thread. Great stuff. I now feel like we can all get together and have our own little(Big actually) Anti-WTS watchtower study. It's great. We actually get to discuss and reason amongst ourselves. Wow... independent thought. Who would've known?

Hey how cool would this be - We start opening up Unkingdom hall's all across the world. We can have our own services. With conversation, laughs and parties. Blondie can conduct our Sunday meetings. What do ya think?
