Created to die
by Tashawaa inthe witnesses teach that jehovah created man to "live forever" in a paradise earth.
this was lost to man (i'm not forgetting eve .
so his dying wasn't from eating from the tree of good and bad, it was from not eating from the "tree of life".. adam & eve were not created to live forever.

...they neither marry, nor are given in marriage...
by Tashawaa inone of the hardest doctrines of the witnesses that i couldn't wrap my little brain around, was the teaching that the resurrected would not marry.. i remember one assembly, a whole talk was spent on the resurrection, and emphasis was placed on the fact that they would not marry.
the couple sitting in front of me (obviously a happy couple, 'cause this distressed them) whispered how they just couldn't believe it.. here's the scripture they use to back their doctrine:.
matt 22:22-33 specifically vs 30 "for in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven...".

The end of a dream...
by Tashawaa inperhaps the hardest part of leaving the jws, is emotionally letting go of the "dream".. as i was waking up this morning, caught in that state of leaving a dream and realizing i was in my bed, feeling the air circulate from my overhead fan, it dawned on me that the end of my "dream" is unknown.. i used to take comfort in knowing that there was god.
there was good and evil.
satan existed, and everyday, i had entered into battle to maintain my integrity.

by Tashawaa infor work, i'm taking an ethics seminar (with test) in my industry.
the focus of the course should be on the code of conduct we will govern ourselves by and the consequences of not doing so (basically a group ethic).
however after i've read the course material, the author is very biased towards ethical relativism.. his comments range from:.
