  JWs are also in the dark regarding the true meaning of Sheol/Hades.

  by Schizm in

  the watchtower society explains "hades" as being "the common grave of mankind".

  christendom's understanding of "hades" is, for the most part, quite different than that of the watchtower society.

  the one similarity between the two beliefs is that in both cases "hades" is considered to be a literal place.. the truth of the matter is that neither the watchtower society or christendom has a correct understanding of the terms "hades".

  "Should We Continue To Be What We Are?"

  by Ingenuous in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many persons seem to think that they should continue to be what they are, at least as far as religion is concerned.

  they will tell you that their parents and grandparents belonged to a certain religion, and they see no reason for making a change....

  in many of the ordinary matters of life we make changes.

  Will the new system be uncrowded?

  by M.J. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was talking to an elder yesterday about how enjoyable it is to get away from civilization in remote wilderness areas, unlike the circus you see at places like yosemite natl.

  park in california.

  with dreamy eyes he mentioned how great it will be in the "new system", when "we can enjoy uncrowded conditions.".

  What Do Un-Believers Not Believe?

  by mensa163 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the things that used to annoy me in the new testament was the "believe in jesus" message.

  any explainations seemed fuzzy at best so i decided to take a run at it from behind and find the definintion of an un-believer.here is what i came up with and i welcome other opinions.

  many of the people around jesus were jews, they walked with him, talked with him, listened to his teachings and witnessed his miracles.
