  JW's say Worldly People are Better Off DEAD

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  jehovah's witnesses and the "better off dead" doctrine.

  for decades the official jw teaching was that "worldly people" (non-jws) would be "better off dead" because "the wages sin pays is death" and once you have died, you have paid for your sins, so then jehovah is free to resurrect you (as long as you had not committed the "unforgivable sin").. whereas, if you had not died and had remained a worldly "unbeliever" when armageddon arrived, jehovah would have destroyed you and doomed you to everlasting destruction in gehenna.. this "better off dead" doctrine never did make any sense to me.

  why would jehovah resurrect you if you died the day before armageddon, but if you stayed alive until the next day you would be destroyed and doomed forever to the lake of fire?

  I see quotation marks, but no citation. Got one?

  **Playing any contest at a store. Again, they called it gambling because you pay for it with higher prices on the products.

  Using that logic, you should be allowed to shop at the store either, because you're paying for gambling.

  The 100th Monkey

  the 100th monkeythe japanese monkey, macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.. in 1952, on the island of koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand.

  the monkey liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.. an 18-month-old female named imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream.

  she taught this trick to her mother.

  There was this weird thing that happened at work one day. Someone on the east end of the building farted, and was bragging about it to everyone. Well, almost simultaneously, same hour even, another customer farted on the west end of the building and started bragging about it. Mind you, no one had ever farted at work before this day.

  Why Women Are Crabby

  why women are crabby.

  we started to 'bud' in our blouses at 9 or 10 years old only to find that anything that came in contact with those tender, blooming buds hurt so bad it brought us to tears.

  so came the ridiculously uncomfortable training bra contraption that the boys in school would snap until we had calluses on our backs.. .

  It's a blatant post hoc fallacy. If monkeys in one place discovered how to wash their potatoes, why wouldn't monkeys in another place discover the same thing? The two are most definitely not related.
