How many doubt the GB official teaching about who will survive
by Indoubtbigtime ini wonder how many have doubts about the gb teaching that only baptised jws would survive the big a?
even then they still only say you may make it as with unbaptised kids of jdubs.
i think most people physically in don’t agree with the gb on this and are hoping jehovah would let other good people into the new world even if they are not baptised jws.

I have a lay catholic BIL who I used to debate with and frankly I was a bit embarrassed about how often the WT bashed the RC religion during the 60`s-70`s.

Sunday January 15 is my 76th birthday. I answer some of your questions.
by Terry inhappy birthday 2 me!!.
sunday is my 76th birthday and i know that you want to know how it "feels" to have outlived my usefulness, to have lost my natural beauty (being reduced to wrinkles and flab), and constantly walking into a room not knowing why i'm there.
you also are curious as to how i can continue to find a reason to live since none of my kids think my opinions have any possible value, most of my facebooks friends i wouldn't recognize if i tripped over them on my way into starbucks, and my monthly expenditure on bird treats exceeds u.s. spending on the military.

Heaven a place of peace and santuary ?
by smiddy3 infor those jehovah`s witnesses that beleive heaven is a spiritual paradise ,think about this.. rev.12: 7-9 .
and as a sub thought ,if god was indeed a god of love ,why would he cast satan down to the earth to mislead deceive and harm god`s children ?.
no human parent would do such a thing to their children ,so why would a god who is supposed to be a god of love do so ?.

For those Jehovah`s Witnesses that beleive heaven is a spiritual paradise ,think about this.
Rev.12: 7-9

Can a Church Lie Intentionally? Yes.
by peacefulpete ina very recent case i mentioned briefly in another thread might be of interest to many here.
a mormon found through the internet that her church leadership had deliberately misled members regarding the origin of the book of mormon and engaged in historical revisioning.
she sued for damages for the lifelong tithing she had been deceived into giving.
