atlantis, do you have the v.d.m.
questionnaire?.
hi betty:.
Looking at page two the last 7 questions could be answered in the affirmative whether you have actually done so or not .
I suppose they were just relying on a persons honesty in answering those Q`s and not thinking about a person who is just wanting to gain recognition and prominence in the congregation.
Thanks Atlantis I`m still learning something everyday about the cult even though I was in for 32 years.
3.1415926535807932384626433i used to be able to go to a hundred from memory.
my son and daughter can do so.age 75 has cheated me a bit in this regard.what sort of things have you memorized (whether useful or useless)?i can recite the entire rime of the ancient mariner to this day, btw.there are many so-called tricks for remembering things that can be easily learned and i've read all or most of those books.the amusing thing about such memory is this: nobody cares!
"why do you need to memorize when you can just use your iphone?sigh...i memorized the periodic table of elements one day at work.
The only 2 things I was taught to memorize when I was in primary school was the alphabet and the times table both of which were / are still very useful to me.
thank you miss Staples .

Do you, smiddy3, believe that what Evans has done is morally unacceptable?
Yes of course I do ,it just amazes me that at 609 pages it doesnt look like its going to close anytime soon.
a specific “day,” or period, when particular groups, nations, or mankind in general are called to account by god.

“i solemnly charge you before god and christ jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead,”- 2 tim 4:1. seems like sins are not paid by dying or the ransom if there is a judgment in-spite of it.

If I don`t beleive in a GOD as the Bible / JW describe how could I beleive he/she it , punishes evil ?

No wonder I don`t beleive in a GOD or the Bible anymore ?
What is it about that statement you don`t understand Sea breeze ?
jehovah`s witnesses , seventh day adventists , church of jesus christ of the latter day saints.. these 3 are probably the more influenthal in the last 200 or so years ago.. if membership is a sign of god`s blessing on who he favours then @ the year 2021.. jehovah`s witnesses membership 8.5 million.
church of jesus christ of latter day saint`s membership.16.8 million.
seventh day adventist`s membership.21 million.
A list of a couple of years back :
Catholicism , 1.345 Billion members
Protestant`s , 900 million to 1 Billion
Anglicans , 110 million
Jehovah`s Witnesses are way down on the list even the Mormons and the 7th Day Adventists far out number the 8.5 million Jehovah`s Witnesses.
Especially the Catholics are most favoured because they have been around for centuries so GOD must be favouring them .
the common thread of beleivers / creationists of a god creating life is design .. and if something / anything is designed it must have a designer ?.
however this reasoning is discarded when talking about the existence of god.. and if such a being as god somehow existed without a designer why not all forms of life itself as existing on earth ?.
coming into existence without a designer ?.
" fashioned/built/made a man out of dirt, built a woman from a rib bone, "
In my lifetime I have known a few dirty people male and female both morally and physically but c`mon ,he made a man out of dirt ?
And built a beautiful woman ? from a rib bone ? What was she a skeleton ?
The book of Genesis belongs in the science fiction section of any library .

Proof enough in the above .
what new light from jehovah did you find hard to swallow?.
the conversations in the attached video are enlightening.
the graphic is hilarious.. https://youtu.be/byj3zrpbuvg.
Sometimes when new light is revealed to the faithful it takes a few years for it to really sink in .
That was my experience when the 1975 fiasco occured ,I was well and truly in then but it took another few years before I actually left the religion .
Some of us are a little slow I`m afraid.

Sea Breeze ,
This is one person who claims many others are eye witness accounts of what Jesus said and done .
It is not many others who claim they are eye witnesses of what Jesus said and done .
Big difference.
