a mother and her four young daughters — the oldest of whom was 6 — died in a residential fire wednesday morning in des plaines, il.
officials said.. four young children and one adult were killed in a house fire in the 700 block of west oakton street in des plaines, jan. 27, 2021.. .
after 45 years as a jehovah's witness, this tragic story really has me really questioning if there really is a god?
A JW family of 5 I think, died in a plane crash near Buffalo -New York sometime in 2009. The plane stalled and fell from the sky spiraling down and critics said that was the most frightening death.
How about the thousands of JWs that were systematically tortured and killed in Nazi camps.
And there are incidents where JWs were mauled by dogs and died in road accidents, during field service
And Jehovah watches these silently ?
A rational thinking person would not accept it
i am friends with an elderly 'worldly' woman, who was unaware i am an ex-jw.
she employs a jw husband and wife pioneer couple for odd jobs around her house- mowing, cleaning etc.
the couple has been working for her and her recently deceased husband for years.. just before the 2019 international convention, despite the fact that the husband was fighting his last battle with illness, the couple kept asking him to attend the convention with them.
My Ex-JW friends - whom I considered as family - stopped talking to me after I got Disassociated. It has been 10 years since.
Thats the way JWs operate. Like Programmed Robots.

good news from god!.
lesson 6. .
what hope is there for the dead?.
For those who still believe in the resurrection.
Once dead, there is nothing that gets back to life. Nature has been teaching this for billions of years.
The Biblical resurrection accounts are pure religious propaganda lies. The Bible itself proves it to be lying. How?
ICor 15:42: So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised up in in corruption.
If that is so, then Lazarus was resurrected without Corruption (Without Sin) and a person without sin is perfect and should be living eternally. Why did he die again ?
Hebrews 9: 27 and as it is reserved for men to die once for all time, but after this a judgment
As per above, death is only once for mankind. But why did the resurrected people of the Bible die again?
this concept was leaked here not too long ago, and it was just announced at the next section of the 'annual meeting' on jw broadcasting.
they allude to it being a half hour series and say that it will cover literally every detail in all four gospels in chronological order through the course of all episodes.
they also insinuate that it's the most ambitious project yet (i guess making use of that new media production facility).
I am anxious and Eager to watch the portion where Jesus extracts 2 devils from a man and injects them to a herd of pigs and all go running up the hill and jump into the ocean and commit suicide.
Should be quite Exciting.
jehovah's witnesses used to state other christian denominations go to war and in fact that their religious leaders bless such wars.
they see this as one reason why all other christian denominations are not true christians since they kill one another at war and therefore they don't love one another as stated by jesus in john 13: 34,35.. for example when a roman catholic go to war, he/she is bound to kill a fellow roman catholic in the cause of the war.
therefore roman catholic can't be true christians since its member don't love one another and kill one another at war and as such god cannot be in support of such wars where his worshippers kill one another.. the question that comes for consideration is, has jehovah ever supported wars between his own worshippers?.
The Middle East wanderers fought many wars. And one of their tribes had Jehovah as their tribal (Imaginative) god.
And they inserted this Jehovah - doing this, doing that, - into their Self Styled Exaggerated history, what we now call the Bible.
That’s the reality
do jw's believe that when they finally make it to the paradise earth, that jehovah will continue to dwell in heaven?
basically, that they will not get to be with jehovah forever?
if this is the case, does this bother faithful jws?.
AS far as I was brainwashed (Until 10 years ago), Jehovah would be in heaven and the bearded Jesus and his anointed associates would be supervising the paradise Earth. Death would be instant for rebellers like me
May be the new Light changed after that
the watchtower has many schools to teach their members on how to become more effective in various assignments in jehovah's organization.
they are trained to strengthen and help the congregations and branches around the world.
here is a list of some of the schools the society run:.
Good Point. They should have a school for the 144k in training them to eat the blood and flesh of Holy JC.
Also, how are they they so well trained to hate apostates, even without the school.
the bible exhorts us to “worship the one who made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.”—deuteronomy 4:24; revelation 14:7.. insight on the scriptures, volume 2 pp 1200-1202. worshipone of the hebrew words conveying the idea of worship (ʽa·vadhʹ) basically means “serve.” (ge 14:4; 15:13; 29:15) serving or worshiping jehovah required obedience to all of his commands, doing his will as a person exclusively devoted to him.
(ex 19:5; de 30:15-20; jos 24:14, 15) therefore, for an individual to engage in any ritual or act of devotion toward any other gods signified his abandoning true worship.—de 11:13-17; jg 3:6, 7.another hebrew term that can denote worship is hish·ta·chawahʹ, which primarily means “bow down” (ge 18:2), or do obeisance.
(see obeisance.
The JWs say that Jehovah is an Epitome of absolute perfection.
What is perfection ? IT means he has everything and does not need anything.
Then why does he demand worship and is Jealous of other tribal gods?
Nothing rational here but Funny Isnt it ?
galaxy andromeda flying towards the milcky way is a fact so why god did that ?
i don't see the point, the galaxies will enter in collision in a very long time but i don't understand why a lovely god would do this it feels stupid.
(or there is no god).
In my honest opinion, this universe is mindless, dangerous and does not have any purpose.
Why there are billions of galaxies and Billions of stars in each.
Why there are such tremendous destructive forces in the Universe, like Asteroids and comets colliding on other objects around there.
Why there is an Asteroid belt in our own solar system that occasionally flings the asteroids into earth and creates massive destruction. (If God is a god of order and created these)
Why there are so many natural disasters - Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Hurricane, landslides, flooding.
Why life is so difficult, with diseases, suffering and death for all the species. (Eve ate an apple is BS)
