NO.
Like all of these threads, any group you "associate" with will have some people who are *nice*. However, the dubs are trained to shun you. How many of you are able to call up your old JW friends and just hang with them? Like, today? Or on this coming Friday when just about everyone will have the day off? Are you going to call your old JW friends/pals and wish them "Happy Holidays"?
Yeah, thought not.
Which is why I have zero good memories of associating with them.
Which goes to the qestion:
Associating with JWs? What happened to hanging out with them? What happened to the true friendships? To being friends with JWs, etc. Being in a mind controlling cult is the whole problem being in the JWs. You "Associate" with people. You aren't really friends with them. True friends don't dump and shun over a disagreement with them over dogma.
Only people in a cult do. People they "associate" with.
Sad.

Why exactly would anyone want God to get involved in this?
We've come full circle.
The New System and Resurrection. Back to the KH.

Wouldn't the death of three suffice?
by AK - Jeff inwhy would a so-called 'loving' god put mankind through millenia of time, untold suffering, death to billions of mankind, all over the sin of a naked lady eating an apple without permission?.
how could his need to 'fulfill justice' or whatever theological argument is presented to justify such time to pass before correction - ever equal the pain it has forced mankind to endure?.
why did he not just kill one man, one woman, and one snake-imitating fallen angel - wipe the slate - and start fresh?

Sylvia, God has his sinless Someone give His life to blot out the error of the first parents. (This is according to the *witnesses* who documented it decades later. For the record, unless I write it down, I can't remember what I ate for dinner or how long I jogged on Monday, but, *those* events are not historical; I can see why they waited decades. They really wanted to get it right, right?) So, if it was supposed to blot out the errors, etc, why didn't it blot out the errors of all future generations?
Why let future generations be imperfect and why let all the pain and suffering go on and on?
Why no other *signs* from God or His Someone?

"And the acidophilus to cure them"
I wonder if the gals in the Old System had this stuff. Somehow I'm guessing it's a relatively new discovery.
Then again, I could be wrong:
The fungal infection of Candida albicans, more commonly referred to as a yeast infection when it affects the genital area, is thought by some to be controlled by acidophilus . Since acidophilus occurs naturally in the genitals, and plays a role in warding off such infections, some people advocate topical treatment. The topical application of yogurt, which contains acidophilus , is thought by many to help relieve and ultimately cure a yeast infection. Oral ingestion is also recommended, either of yogurt, or of an acidophilus supplement.
Personally, I don't advocate Yogurt Douche's. Just IMO. Though, in the old days, a woman may not have had any choice. Learn something new.
This I attribute to a smart Greek Lady. Not God. Oh, and her husband. And their Goat.

All those angels were watching. Plus the demons. He'd have had to wipe all of them out too. (Witnesses and all) Then he'd really have a bad, sad conscience. So, just let Adam, Eve and Satan do their thing and let the world do it's thing. Oh, and let your only begotten Son come down, get nailed to a cross, etc.
God's real logical.

Look what he did for Noah. Made him build that Ark and all. For all those animals. Which no one has ever found. (Which is besides the point because someone wrote about it in the bible, so it must be true, right?)
And, how about that guy who toasted his daughter to prove his loyalty? Jepht-Something-or-Other? What about him?
And Lot? What about Lot.
Jonah? Who else gets to ride in the belly of a beast and tell about it?
I could go on. Again.
Disease? Pestilence? Clean water? Slavery? Peace on earth (where have I heard that lately?) Pain and suffering?
We deserve all of this because of Adam and that damn apple.
Right?
