John 5:28,29.

by Lost in the fog in

we used to use this scripture to show that there was going to be a future resurrection.

but recently i got to thinking about it.

if the apostle paul was right in saying that the righteous on death would be changed in the twinkling of an eye from earthly life to heavenly glory why would there be a future resurrection needed for the righteous?

EverApostate

It’s absurd to the core, to believe in resurrection. Just take one Example:

When Lazarus was resurrected, why did he die again? He should be alive now. Because the Bible says, the wages of sin is death and whoever dies is cleared of their sins.

If Lazarus is still around, that would be an irrefutable proof that the Bible is true.

The Biblical beleif of resurreuction is just as good as the Egyptian belief of an afterlife.

In ancient tiimes, the Egyptians spent a lot of time, Energy and money to build pyramid tombs to support afterlife

JWs and christians do the same now

Aren`t These Two Scriptures At Odds With Each Other ?

by smiddy3 in

romans 13 ,1-7 contrast with 2 cor.4 : 3-6 ,on the one hand the faithful are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,worldly government ,law enforcement ,etc, as its gods arrangement and to go against it is to go against god ?.

then 2 cor .4 : 3-6 states that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one satan the devil and if you are obedient to that you are supporting satan`s system of things and going against gods arrangement ?.

what sort of mental gymnastics do you need to acquire to accept both of these scriptures and keep your sanity ?.

EverApostate

One cannot be a christian without practicing Mental Gymnastics

for the first time in my life, i have to admit that the world is rapidly deteriorating.

first i saw a decline in democracy worldwide.

elections were a tough battle every time, unfair too.

Even the Quran says about Qayamat ka Din. Means, the last days would be torublesome. Is this a warning that everyone should become Muslims to be saved ?

Hello everyone 😊

by SuperMarioDiMaggio in

i was a jehovah's witnesses for 15 years (1983-1998) in pietermaritzburg and durban, south africa.

i was baptised in 1985; appointed a ministerial servant in 1987 (aged 21); refused military service on religious grounds in 1989 (served a three year community service sentence) and was appointed an elder in 1993 (aged 26).

i wrote to the governing body in brooklyn four times between 1992-97, respectfully questioning the nonsense they were publishing about science and evolution (you can see all my correspondence and their hilarious replies here: http://bit.ly/jw-md-letters ).

@Kosonen
Unfortunately at that time because of Jehovah God's kindness and generosity and liberalism

Jehovahs Kindness ?? What about his genocides all throughout the old testament

In addition God allowed angels to go against His will and come down to earth and live here.

Why. TO create more trouble for humans ?

@Kosonen

You say that you are a thinking person. What convinces you that the Noah flood occurred?

Do you believe that Noah got all the species of the world into an ark ?

So, Noah and only 8 of his family were righteous in the whole world ?

Is a global flood an efficient method to wipe out the Evil people of the earth? Its like flooding the house to kill the bugs.

Why doesn’t the Scientific community accept that a flood occurred some 4000 Years ago. But they do admit that an ice age happened some 40,000 years ago.

Sorry SuperMarioDiMaggio , your topic got diverted. But I am just curious why people who left a cult still believe in a most improbable story

Jehovah’s Witnesses Reject Plasma Injections for COVID-19

by Rattigan350 in

jehovah’s witnesses reject plasma injections for covid-19.

https://www.newsintervention.com/jehovahs-witnesses-reject-plasma-injections-covid-19/.

the jehovah’s witnesses have issues with modern medical information because this is seen as against the tenets of the religious faith.

Another lethal, twisted, ridiculous, Pseudo Scientific non sense.

hello, i am in the beginning stages of a slow fade.

over the years i have become more and more dissatisfied with the beliefs, teachings, and organizational practices of the organization.

i no longer have faith in it.

EverApostate

Still believe in Jehovah and want a relationship with him

First you should prove to yourself that Jehovah Exists and Next prove that a relationship with him Exists. Neither is possible

This "relationship with God" is a Christian Fantasy. Nothing tangible or real. You should do some research and a lot of open minded thinking friend

How Would You React if a Snake Started Talking to You?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

just an odd thought i guess.

i saw a large snake in the back of my house the other day and it went on its merry way.

i just asked myself, what if the snake turned around and wanted to have a philosophical discussion on life, the universe or the origin of creation and then began to ask me questions?

EverApostate

Unlike Eve, I would have died of immediate cardiac arrest.

The guy who wrote this funny snake talking story, would not have imagined that billions in the future would take it seriously and beleive it .

He would laugh his head off, if he was alive today

Why is this an APOSTATE site?!?

by LaraK in

i made a big mistake when signing up at this supposed website for jehovah's witnesses.

after reading some things on this site it has become apparent to me that this site is nothing put another pathetic site for apostates: people who betrayed jehovah, left the truth, and are so bitter about their experiene in the truth, and they are angry just like satan because they know they will very soon be dead at jehovah's hand!.

this website should be renamed something more fitting like "satan's playground" or a similar name that would get across the message of your site.. sincerely,.

EverApostate

@LaraK

So, you signed up without knowing about this site. And you started to read many topics for a while and then you lash out here, without spending your time on Zoom meetings and Virtual Field sevice.

Apostasy is growing in you. Welcome.

Bible canon conundrums

by joey jojo in

this is a topic that i find really interesting- how the bible, in particular, the new testament was compiled and how the jw organisation strives to negate, scoff at and diminish the influence of the catholic church in its development.. here is the official stance of the org: .

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/library/r1/lp-e/all-publications/watchtower/the-watchtower-1963/april-15.

'the roman catholic church claims responsibility for the decision as to which books should be included in the canon, and reference is made to the councils of hippo (a.d. 393) and carthage (a.d. 397), where catalogues of books were formulated.

EverApostate

If there is really a god, he should communicate to humans in a constant manner.

Or at least engrave his holy writings on a mountain, where people can’t tamper with it

And a god who wrote a book, wasn’t able to preserve his name in that. Absurdity at its finest.
