angels and women
by caroline77 ini was told by jw's that angels came down to earth before the flood, and had children with women.. i have a question about this and would like the sort of answer a jw would give so that i can be ready for them when they come to my door.. if one third of god's angelic staff were banished to earth, are they doing this now?.
if not, what is stopping them?.
if so, where are all these half angel children?.

BASIC questions any reasonable person might ask
by Terry ini wonder about things.
i wonder why other people don't wonder about them.. for example:.
have you ever been to a circus and seen a "clown car"?.

What the Bible says
by caroline77 inif you want to wake up your jw relatives try challenging them with this series of bible quotations:.
acts 1 v 11. men of galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky?
this jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will come in the same manner as you have seen him going into the sky.. john 20 v 19-20. when it was late that day, the first day of the week, and the doors were locked where the disciples were for fear of the jews, jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them: may you have peace.+20 after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side.+ then the disciples rejoiced at seeing the lord.

Opposing opinions
by GoUnion inany current or ex jw knows there is a lot of counsel against association with nice people that do not share your faith.
i think this is very damaging for personal growth, we never really can challenge our convictions, we become stunted in ability to reason and make personal decisions.
this is also why the organization has fought against "higher education" so hard.

Awful experience: I threw my WT library out!
by StephaneLaliberte inyes, i threw my wt library out: my recycle bin was full.
even if i had imagined this experience to be similar to a prisoner getting rid of his chains, this was not so.. instead, it brought up all the memories i had shared with my family where we were excited about the release of the revelation book; the clear feeling of ultimate knowledge when we showed the live forever book, the questions i had practiced with my family in the organized book, my cousins who got baptized as well.
somehow, all i could think of was only the good memories i had shared with my family and almost cried about it.. and then, i started to think of the division, the hatred and the pain that became prevalent in my family as some were disfellowshipped and thus, ostracized.

How many here (believers) believe in the Hell fire doctrine and why??
by jam init's obvious the bible is very clear on a actual hell of fire.
"cursed into the eternal fire with the devil and his angels", rev.20:15.
"lake of fire", rev.21:8 "fire and brimstone".

preaching and memorial question
by caroline77 ini asked a jw why most of them don't partake of the bread and wine at their memorial, and was told that the command was given to the disciples only.. at the end of matthew's gospel, the command is given to the 11 disciples to go out and preach to everyone, so why do those who don't take the bread and wine go out knocking doors preaching?.
surely if only the disciples can take the emblems then only the disciples should preach.. no explanation of where the 144,000 come into it was given.. .

Chat with Elder, how would you reply?
by awakening inhad a sit down chat with an elder who is aware of my doubts.
