after reading another thread on pedophiles i was wondering if there is a pedophile epidemic or is it just that we now have more access to the information?
it seems like everywhere you read there are more and more cases being reported.
are we becoming a nation with no morals at all?
DOGGONE, Thank you for that information about the brain and pedophiles. About your comment on child sexual abuse being lower now than ever..I just can't wrap my arms around that fact. Is that in comparison to the population today?
RottenRiley, I was speaking of a pedophile epidemic in the whole world..not just the JW's .
do the jw's still teach that those resurrected will not marry and be without a sex?
(eunich).
can't help but think that it is the same with those hit with radiation during a bombing.. .
Never Knew wrote:....but the married ones will remain married, right?
As far as I remember, only if they both live through the JW teaching of Armageddon. As the bible states, marriage ends with death. :(
Subject to change..
Good point about the angels..probably because they aren't subject to armageddon..it must be something in the destruction/death/resurrection that wipes out their private parts and makes them useless..
Can't help but wonder tho about the angels..what sex are they supposedly if they were chasing after the virgins.. ;)

Yes you got that right..but it truly is everywhere you read. Is mankind going nuts?
jude 1:9 shows that michael didn't dare rebuke satan.
if jesus is michael, then why would he be afraid to do so?
in matthew and mark it clearly shows that the demons were afraid of jesus..
Probably because the bible was written by man. So many contradictions, at least to me... Another reason I no longer trust the bible. I am sure there is a better explanation then mine tho..

It seems like everywhere you read there are more and more cases being reported. Are we becoming a nation with no morals at all? I can't help but wonder where it all is going..what is next. The older I get the more it seems like humans are throwing all morals to the wind. Sad..I heard a comment on TV that really struck me..they said that we are being conditioned ..nothing shocks us anymore. At least that's how it seems to me. People need more and more excitement to stimulate themselves..which includes nothing is sacred..
Maybe I need to stay away from the news for a while. Course at my age not keeping up with current affairs may get me diagnosed as senile..
i ran across a change between the printed edition of the december 15, 2013 wt study edition and the magazine as a pdf download from the jw.org website.. whether the change amounts to much, i'm not sure.
but it is curious.
the change is in paragraph 16 on page 15:.
Sounds like they are afraid of saying something they may get sued for and are trying to be extra careful of how they say it..
sorry if this isn't the right place to post this - brand new member here.. i recently caught up with an old friend who is a jw.
she's been witnessing to me, and i've accepted all her handouts because i don't want to hurt her feelings.
but now she's asking me for my "thoughts" about what i've read so far.
If they weren't promised "Everlasting Life" would they still be a JW?..
It's always a selfish reason why they are one..very few would answer truthfull if you said " Would you still be a JW if you were making it possible for your enemy to live forever but not you or your family?
Snoozy....
so my parents cannot answer my question and are pretty much pushing me to go to the elders for an answer so i'd like to know what the best questions to ask an elder are.my first question is going to be the mediator one..and if he tells me it's the 144,000 or the anointed, i'll ask him to show me where it says that in the bible.what are some other tough questions for an elder to answer?assuming we can get past the mediator one of course.i'm going to hold off on asking about new light or 607... also, has anyone ever asked about how satan can cause wwi in july if he wasn't expelled from heaven until christ became king in october?i haven't gotten much of an answer to that either..
What was their motivation for taking the job in the first place... No matter how they answer it always comes down to a selfish reason..
Why are they encouraged to "Move up" in the organization and why are they treated like royalty when they do?
Humble my foot..
Would they still "Love Jehovah" if there was no everlasting life promise?..
Snoozy
i would love to see a thread that strictly listed lawsuits against the wtbts..enclosing actual referrals and newspaper clipping if possible for authenticity .surely they can't hush them all up... snoozy... .
