Yes it's called Evolution that put it in our minds and animals minds to try and avoid death.
The ones who jumped in the lava did not survive to procreate much - thus evolution excluded them.
I guess adam and eve were missing that instinctive gene.

Having Jehovah as a friend.
by Darkknight757 ini've always found it amazing that people can say with such conviction that jehovah is their friend.. we are talking about a "friend" who perhaps daily "tests" us to see if we are his friends.
all of us have dealt with some form of hardship such as the death of a loved one, chronic illness or whatever.
it is in these cases that the brothers will tell a person that perhaps it is a test, or that "jehovah knows you're not ready" or some other lame excuse.. do our real friends "test" us to see if we will be loyal to them?

Actually - your Hall friends do just that. Start missing some meetings, and things change really fast. -

I think it's all about eliminating Paper Trails.
Continuing to put all the Legal Burden on the COs and Elders.
"What an elder raped that girl? We at Warwick had nothing to do with that, talk to the CO Mr Judge."

I have free will not to jump into pits of molten lava. It is an easy choice for me to avoid doing that.
To bad adam and eve were so weak and ill prepared that they got fooled by a sock puppet and 46 words.
p.s. not that any of that happened:)

Abraham's offspring
by nelim ininteresting in a new video on tv jw org "edward aljian: an important reminder", from 6 minutes onwards.
he asks a question about abraham: "couldn't jehovah have spared abraham a lot of grief by telling the promised offspring would be by sara?".
jehovah only disclosed this when ishmael was in his early teens.

HAAA -- That is equivalent to asking "Could the Three little bears been spared the grief by just all living in the brick house? -

What is truth?
by Heisenberg inwell, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.
i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.
they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

The best and most honest phrase in the bible is when Pontius Pilate asked "What is Truth?"

6 Ways Religion Does More Bad Than Good
by jean-luc picard in"most british people think religion causes more harm than good according to a survey commissioned by the huffington post.
surprisingly, even among those who describe themselves as “very religious” 20 percent say that religion is harmful to society.
for that we can probably thank the internet, which broadcasts everything from isis beheadings, to stories about catholic hospitals denying care to miscarrying women, to lists of wild and weird religious beliefs, to articles about psychological harms from bible-believing christianity.".

How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?
by stuckinarut2 init's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".
"is he 'in the truth'?".
most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

Like everyone - that it's a LIE!
By the way - isn't truth always truth? If it changes every 3rd tuesday, now can it be truth?
And if today is "truth" what was it yesterday?It is also SO manipulative! I even have to keep my self from using that word when talking about it.

Ridiculous statements in this weeks study article
by the truth is mine inmaybe it is just me but when i read this paragraph all i could do is shake my head and wonder how i used to buy into this crap and how people don't wonder what the hell the writers are thinking'.
"imagine what life would be like if god did not have love for mankind.
we merely have to look at the awful history of this world with its human rulerships under its unloving and wrathful god, satan the devil.
