  Jehovah's Witnesses, is there Life after Death?

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jehovah's witnesses claim that at death you cease to exist... however, what if they have been taught wrong?

  what if the bible explains that there is life immediately after death?

  what if more than 8 people in scripture from old testament to new experienced, acknowledged or taught that there was life straight after death?

  Of course the Bible promises life (immediately) after death as well as Resurrection too, after a while

  In my honest Opinion, all these life after death conspiracy theories are:

  • To console oneself with the fear of everlasting non-Existence after death
  • To lure others with this magical thinking and Exploit them.

  Hence, Whatever sources you refer regarding Life after death, I consider it all the same.

  Just point to one (Tangible) evidence of Life after death, I will reconsider my belief.

  Sorry, I wont watch that video as I pretty much know what would be there(Some Vague references from the Bible)

  In the bunker

  2. beliefs

  imagine that you are in the middle of the (jws version) great tribulation.

  food and basic supplies are scarce, the secret and not-so-secret police are actively searching for you and your family.

  you have to make it to bro faithful's secret bunker to hunker down with the rest of the congregation.

  Why Hide in a bunker when Jah has myriads of angels who can protect JWs with their Enormous (Austin) powers.

  Oh yeah, I remember the Gospel now. Holy Mary and (step) daddy Joe fled to Egypt with their baby Jesus, to escape from the murderous king. So much of Angelic Protection for Jah's only begotten son ?

  Moral of the Story: Better be prepared with Bunker Lifestyle. I am heading to the nearest dollar store to grab tin foods

  The paranormal.

  i know that a lot of the people on here have turned their backs on the idea of a deity deciding that god does not exist.

  but what about the unseen spirit world generally such as poltergeists, jinns, voodoo, etc.

  if you have become agnostic, atheist, or just don't care since leaving, do you think that there are spirits out there or have you decided that is also hokum?

  They used to teach that those resurrected would be sexless, neither male or female (like the angels).

  If angels are neither male nor female, why did they select only women to mate with ?

  i recently had to take a trip with my family to bethel.

  it was a bit torturous for a secret apostate as you can imagine.

  but mostly just so boring.

  Why can JW's attend funerals or weddings in a church?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what is the reasoning/policy behind the practice that a jw can't attend an event such as funeral or wedding in another church?

  i know of someone that didn't attend her older sisters funeral because it was held in a baptist church.

  she waited outside until the service was over and then went to the family dinner afterwards.

  Immediately after my baptism as a JW, I avoided numerous Birthdays, weddings (In Churches and temples), christening, funeral services and any other religious gatherings, hoping it was pleasing the almighty sky daddy.

  This also pleased my fellow JWs and I was flattered by their support for my zeal towards true Worship

  ONly if I had known then that Jehovah is a middle east tribal imagination.....

  The Bizarre Free Will

  by John_Mann in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  two years before i left jw world i came to a strange conclusion about the jw cosmology and the free will doctrine.. basically i came to conclusion that satan is right about the universal sovereign issue.

  and i came with that just only using jws premises, no outside apostasy.

  i just told to my sister what she thought about it, and she said to me: dont tell anyone about this!.

  Jehvah has Free will but he cannot sin (As per the Bible say)

  When Jehovah created humans, in his Image, he should have done the same. (That is, Humans should have free will but cannot sin)

  Two reminders for active JW's & new lurkers to consider

  by The Fall Guy in

  2. beliefs

  (acts 9:15, 16) but the lord said to him: “go!

  (revelation 17:6) ......and with the blood of the witnesses of jesus.

  (revelation 1:5) "....jesus christ, “the faithful witness,”.

  My 2 cents

  And the Jealous God Jehovah allowed his Holy name to be removed from his holy book and kept silent about it for 1890 years, until CT Russel came to restore it. Does that sound good ?

  What Are The Differences Between JWs Born In and Converted?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i tend to think that many jws who joined the religion in their later years feel foolish or are embarrassed by their decision to become one of jehovah’s witnesses.

  .

  i’m not embarrassed by my years “in the truth “ because i was raised from infancy to believe everything was god’s word and who are we to question jehovah and his organization?

  Minimus, You have a point. Certainly I consider myself a fool as I was impressed by the cult at 28 and got Baptized at 30. I also dragged my wife into it, who is still in the cult.

  Those who were born in, yes, I consider them as innocent victims, who never (knew) had an option and most probably got baptized at a tender age

  the circuit overseer, henry judson, came up to me during the circuit assembly.

  "brother miller, it's been reported that your family may have a pumpkin in your window.

  " he waited for an answer although he never asked a question.

  During the late 1990’s our home in India hosted the weekly Book Studies. We were living in the 2nd floor and had let the 1st floor for rent. The rented people were Hindus and they used to make some colorful decorations on the common floor , most of the time. It would be nice to look at it, and it is somewhat attached to their belief system

  The Elder who came for the Book study counseled us not to allow our tenant to display their religious Symbols in the common area. We didn’t care anyway.
