Reasonings on Armaggedon scenario
by bulgogiboy insomething that always bothered me about jw doctrine, perhaps the thing that bothered me the most about it actually, was the notion that people who die before armaggedon are, for the most part, entitled to a resurrection, regardless of their religious inclinations or crimes, while the vast majority of those same people, if they happened just by chance to be living at the time of the end, would be destroyed eternally.. i mean some jws were actually debating over whether infamous deceased mass-murderers and genocidal maniacs(hitler, stalin,pol pot,etc) would have any chance of resurrection, whilst at the same time almost casually accepting that basically most non-jws alive at armaggedon were to be for the chop!
so i was given the distinct impression of the armaggedon scenario that while the bodies of average, decent, everyday people littered the streets, seriously nasty and despicable individuals who had formerly committed henious crimes would be being brought back to at least 1000 yrs of extra life, if not eternal life.
it didnt seem just.

Bethel Layoffs
by cantleave incould those who know about these lay offs give some clear evidence of what has happened, when, to who, any experiences of people effected and to what extent?.
i want to talk to a really good friend about the situation.
he is a young guy who feels he should be doing more for the organisation, and is thinking about giving up a very good career to make a more of his career in the "truth".

Worldly friends on Facebook
by dgp insome people i know to be jw's have worldly friends as facebook friends.
i apologize for my ignorance, but, isn't this supposed to be socializing with worldlies?
if so, it seems many jw's are simply ignoring what the wts says.

Two faced pedophile protecting abandoners of God. quotes from the wt & g
by Aussie Oz injust spent a little time going through the wt lib 08. as expected, tons of attacks on the clergy.
while aknowledging it can happen in the congregation, the impression is one of 'we do the right thing'.i would have expected 'gods organization' to have trumpeted fromthe roof tops that they found a pedophile in their midst and outed them.
now it would seem there is no way they can afford to do what the catholic church has been forced to do.

I stopped attending, my wife wants to check out the Hall
by Leprechaun inyes i gave up the cult like ways of the dubs, but to be fair to my sweet wife, she wants to check out the meetings based on her hearing the phone tie in from my moms house where we live and reading a few tracts, ( i am neither lord nor master over my wife,) so we are going to the hall this morning to listen to the circuit overseers visit and main talk.. after i take her there i asked her if she would go with me to a baptist church near us to see the difference how they treat me there, (i was desfellowshipped then reinstated) and the general over all fellowship that i feel should be a mark of real christianity, - .

Over half the world population have never heard of Jehovah's Witnesses
by alanv injust looked through some of the largest populations in the world and ten of them add up to 3,500,000,000. how many witnesses serve these 10 countries.
no more than 60,000. the largest are china and india which together have around 2.5 billion people.
so is the jw good news being spread earthwide.

Is 'truth' a red herring?
by bulgogiboy inthis is a question for all, but especially ex-jws who may have transferred their piety over to another religion, and come to believe in another faith:.
is 'truth' regarding the meaning of life something that can ever realistically be obtained by human beings?
what is your idea of what 'truth' is?

Satan - such a bad guy?
by bulgogiboy ini am 95% sure that satan doesnt even exist (same for jehovah), but in theoretical terms at least, do you think satan was such a bad guy to question jehovah's totalitarian regime?
isnt there a little 'satan' in all of us ex-jws?
he employs critical thinking, questions the status quo, and goes against what has been deemed 'righteous'.
