DID SATAN REALLY LIE?
by Mary ini have a couple of questions that no one has been able to answer, as apparently, no one else at the hall has thought of it.
my question is regarding the command that jehovah gave adam regarding eating from the tree.
genesis 2:16 says "and jehovah god also laid this command upon the man: "from every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction.

DO U BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER DEATH?
by Mary ineven though we were all raised with the firm doctrine that absolutely nothing happens to you after death, (except for those baptized before 1935 of course), does anyone here think that maybe something does happen after we die?
i've seen some programs about people that have reported having near death experiences.
while this doesn't offer proof, i find it very strange that one individual, during her nde, repeated a conversation she heard on an entirely different floor in the hospital while she was clinically dead.

I DISTRIBUTED 1,000 FLYERS!
by Mary ini'm tired as hell today.
yesterday, i typed up a flyer saying how jehovah's witnesses' protect pedophiles, and how many who have spoken out trying to protect children from wt policy have been excommunicated from the church.

ARE U REALLY REWARDED AS A FAITHFUL JW WHEN U DIE?
by Mary inas any of us who have been to a funeral for a faithful jw know, the deceased "made a good name" with jehovah for all their faithfulness, etc.
and they are assured of getting a resurrection here on earth (unless they were baptized before 1935) where they'll live forever in paradise.. i recently asked a witness friend about this, as an old brother who had been a witness since wwii recently passed away.
i asked "doesn't john 5:28 promise a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous?".

WHAT'S THE WORSE THING YOU DID AT THE MEETING?
by Mary ini would have to say the worst (aka: funniest) thing i ever did at a meeting was when i sat with the circuit overseer and his wife (many moons ago......) .
anyway, he was really prim and proper and she was of course, a very submissive wife who barely spoke without her husbands permission.
anyway, he goes to the platform and starts off by asking th audience: who was ahab?

WHY DO THEY IGNORE PEDOPHILIA?
by Mary inwhy do you think the organization, the governing body in particular, are so reluctant to deal with the issue of pedophilia head on?
after all, they'll disfellowship elders without a moments hesitation for adultery, fornication, smoking, doing drugs, gambling, homosexuality, even murder........what makes the issue of dealing with elders who are guilty of one of the worst crimes of all, raping young children, so foreign to them?.
my own opinion is that the organization is just starting to learn how to live in the 20th century.......forget the 21st century; they won't be there for another 80 years.
