Alternate military service pre and post 1996 witness policies. Please comments.

what are the thoughts on the changes made by the society in the 1996 watchtower [new light] where one can then accept alternate army service where before you would have to be sentenced to do this.

i feel many were sent to prison needlessly or even executed.

this was not a matter of conscience as the watchtower claims..

Can u post links from literatures for all these? Prison was greek fashion till 2000 lol. After that alternative service was an option for JWs. In Greece for all male citizens is mandatory to join the army.

similar to that recent convention video, this illustrates a mother ignoring her disfellowshipped daughter's phone call.

(august 2019 meeting workbook).

I would die to see the face of that mother if the daughter's call was something very urgent, like accident!!

Who Really Was Satan?

dont you think that satan was a pomo ?

when you read in the genesis account : "at this the serpent said to the woman: 'you certainly will not die.

5 for god knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like god, knowing good and bad.'".
LostAdam

My question is why Satan is referred so little in OT and plays a critical role in NT ?

Do old time present day active JW`s genuinely believe in overlapping generations ?

for the life of me i can not come to terms with old timers in the "truth" who could swallow this interpretation of scripture about an overlapping generation .. when jesus spoke about "this generation" .

are their any real bible students among younger ones any more ?.

here are 3 bible scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .. 1. matt:1 :17 abraham born 2016-18 bc jesus born 2 bc approx.
LostAdam

So according to the overlapping doctrine what is the longest period until this doctrine comes false?? 25 years by now?? I think something like until the death of the anointed that met someone who was anointed in 1914?? I got confused by myself lol.

attended the sad yesterday with my wife.

bethel speaker flown in to california which made it "special".

(his talks were infomercial bs, but at least he was a good speaker.

As far as I know, the amount of money collected in every convention doesn't only have to do with the 2 or 3 days but also with the expenses made on maintaining the assembly hall throughout the year. Let me know if I'm wrong 😎

The paranormal.

i know that a lot of the people on here have turned their backs on the idea of a deity deciding that god does not exist.

but what about the unseen spirit world generally such as poltergeists, jinns, voodoo, etc.

if you have become agnostic, atheist, or just don't care since leaving, do you think that there are spirits out there or have you decided that is also hokum?

Getting Remarried after a spouses death & then they are resurrected after Armageddon ?
by LOLS in

hi guys .

i was wondering about the above , if a jw is allowed to remarry if a spouse has died, then what happens when they are resurrected at armageddon, do u land up with two wives/husbands ,,,,,,, makes no sense to me & can the jw's be so dumb not to think about this or have i got it wrong ?

and i will not be asking my uber jw husband , don't have the energy.. thanks.
LostAdam

so no sex for the resurrected, but those who get to the new system alive can have it. I wonder how the resurrected would feel about that and how unjust and awkward would be to hear your neighbor having sex.

i always wondered, how come the apostles never asked jesus what heaven is like compare to earth.

and wouldn't they be bugging jesus to tell them all kind of stories of such?.
