Will The Brothers and Sisters Marry and Have Children in The New System?

by AwakenedAndFree in

i have a question for active elders, ex-elders and other bible experts regarding the following topic:.

will the brothers and sisters marry and have children in the new system?.

according to the watchtower, yes .

When we would get into discussions of this topic (back in the good ole' dubbie days), I usually was quiet. I felt that the resurrected would marry - but almost everyone would give the usual reasons why they wouldn't. How Jah would take away their desire for it... etc etc blah blah blah

I couldn't understand why then, doesn't he take away bad "desires" now - hell, thats alot better solution to "sin" than armageddon.

And I often wondered if 1 Tim 4:1-3 applied to them... "later time some shall fall away...seducing spirits and doctines of demons... forbidding to marry..."

Since they were being persecuted, does that mean they have the "truth"?

i was lurking at beliefnet "learn about jehovah's witnesses"... here's a response to a question i'm sure you'll all enjoy!.

I knew this would open a sore... sorry - that wasn't my intention. It just bothered me to see this "canned response" to an interested person. It makes me sad

Their experience is the "Watchtower & Awake" - but where is the counselling? Those mags always leave off with the all problems are going to be cured in the new order... after building up what a horrible world we live in. The thread over at BeliefNet is still going (on the debate board)...

Its the "double-think". Perhaps some Watchtower/Awake mag says that a battered wife should seek counselling - but I know from experience, a CO was visiting our hall and talking about marriage breakups. 'Cause all the worldly people leave for no good reason and this attitude was rubbing off on the Christian Congregation (). He gave an example of a JW married to a non-JW. He'd beat her after every meeting, and after the beating she'd rub his feet ... trying to "win" him over with her "Christian qualities". WTF?????? The poor woman!!!! The subtle message, of course, is to "endure" anything for the sake of the "truth". It makes me sick. All the JW wives who may be abused sitting in the audience that day got the message loud-and-clear. Stay with the b*st*rd.

I could open a new thread on the JW debate thread.

I've already been "warned" about posting on the Learn About JW's - as its a JW forum only.

Hmmm, yes, I'm going over there to do that now. I'll find out if they have a "problem" with links.

"able to help us locate secular sources of help for things they are not qualified to handle. "

I LOVE this part. Yah. I had one elder counsel my then ex-husband, not to see a psych. regarding his depression and obsessive/compulsion disorder. Oh right, I forgot... they ALWAYS inform the family that they should report cases of child abuse to the proper authorities!!!

"3. what social systems do the JW have? Like support systems."Our elders are well trained to handle all kinds of situations that may come up, including helping those who may have an addiction to be freed from it, marriage and family counselling, suicide counselling, and so forth. They are also able to help us locate secular sources of help for things they are not qualified to handle.

Does God Exist?

by Tashawaa in

i came across this on a different board.

i haven't taken the time yet to read it, but its being "heralded" by a christian as a debate in which a christian minister won via logic over a minister-turned-athiest on the topic "does god exist".

i'm curious how sound the arguments are, and with some of the sharp minds around here, if an argument is faulty, i'm counting on it being discussed.. http://www.theologyonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=cbb686d85bd2e5fa727074241ddc0181&threadid=7709.

The universe is pregnant with unimaginable wonder. To think that this happened out of the atheist's non-intelligent nothingness and barrenness seems quite foolish. To think that it came from the theist's deity spoken of and described in the Bible -- is even more foolish. James - I love this... can I use it?

LOL

I started in, and I may still force myself to read it, but within the 2nd post of the debate... the Minister (For God) is alreading using a "black & white" mentality. Also, the basis (ugh, foundation) is the God of the Bible - what about the God of the Koran... why not use Allah?????

Ugh, and they aren't even dealing with how a Designer of such magnitude even exists, thats just a "granted".

Blah I should have looked closer before I linked it. I'll try reading it further...
