This is not a trick question, I promise you. I'm not going to critisise ANY answer. I may, however, ask for clarification, on an answer. The only thing I ask is please do not answer with, "That couldnt happen". I dont believe anyone could possible know that. I'd rather you not answer at all, than to post that one. Here is the Question:

If next week the Watchtower was to change to one of the 3 doctrines listed below, what would be your response?

1) ALL JW's now get to go to Heaven
2) Its now OK to serve in the Armed Forces
3) Hell DOES exist for all non-JW's

Would you reject this? And if so, what would be the concequenses? Disfellowship?

Would you accept this? And if so, how would you process all of the Scripture Proofs that was used to support the former view?

ALL answers are welcome. Except of course the "it wouldnt happen" one.
We all know its hypothetical. But some teachings have changed in the past. So, it is possible. (I at least think so).
Thanks for honesty.

that asks a father to kill his son? (abraham sacrificing isaac)

that favors a man that uses his wife as a prostitute to gain favors and wealth from pharaohs multiple times ( abraham and his wife sarai)

that "hardens" the heart of a pharaoh so that he will refuse moses, thus instilling more and more plagues upon the innocent people of egypt.

that would send his own son to be brutally tortured and killed to erase the original sin, that he himself cast on mankind, when all god had to do was twitch his nose.

Show me any truth which ghosts brought for you after of Jesus pbuh? If you unable to show anything, come towards Islam.
16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.

I was born as a Muslim, and being taught by the older generations religious teachers, that questioning too much on the religion is an abstinence which may led to astray.
(Today I know that I can freely question & enlighten myself from anything)

In this section, the questions, responses, slanders are way beyond my imaginations, to the extend people challenge the existence of GOD! And make fun of GOD? Oh my GOD!
Well, okay.

It has been 3 months here in Y!A and I think..., detest or criticize own/ones' religions is not bad at all.

No matter how harsh the criticisms or hatreds are in this section, and how offended I got, in end I found them very helpful for me to 'align' or ''check & balance' on my religion practice, the rationale, humanity to all and all other good reasons & as required by the religion.

Wish u all happy.

You may keep on detesting my religion, the cult leaders, but I hope you all would not hate me & my wife (pictured) just because we are Muslims. : )

Yes, Jesus was born on May 23. This was revealed by a spirit, a holy spirit, who we (plural) believe is THE Holy Spirit. And if you will believe it, He is the spirit of Jesus Christ Himself. Our communication with Him, which we call “sessions”, are tape recorded.

The Holy Spirit revealed this May 23 birth date as well as the August 17 crucifixion and death of Jesus to the listeners. I first heard these dates in 1983 but started only to check their veracity 16 years later when we connected to the Internet in 1999. I assure you that I did not pick those dates up from thin air. I just checked them if they are true and correct, or not. Had I proven them to be wrong, I would have withdrawn my belief in the spirit.

Your opinion about the birth of Jesus is most welcome.

I went to an Australian Christian school ithe 1970s, and was taught normal science including evolutionary theory. I never met a creationist there. Anyone who might have thought that Genesis was a literal historical account would have been considered a bit mad.

I have a set of of 9th Edition Encyclopaedia Britannica at home, published between about 1875 and 1885. It is considered one of the finest editions of the most respected encyclopaedia in the world. Nearly all the academic writers would have been Christians - Lutherans, Prebyterians, Church of England folk and even some Catholics. The science is outdated now, of course, but very good for its time.

The "evolution" section, as well as the sections in biology, zoology, etc acknowledge the genius of their near contemporary Darwin, and there is no hint of any serious intellectual opposition to his theories.

Now I get on the net and read about this thing called "Creationism"

So what happened between 1875 (or 1975) and 2007

why don't you all allow women to become priests or popes??

i mean there were FEMALE prophets.

Queen Esther was used by God mightily as a leader who speaks in front of the king!

Mary was used to conceived the Son of God!!!! she was the spiritual PARENT of Jesus!

even the prostitute was used as a spy for ISrael!

even Mary Magdelene could go near to Jesus Himself to worship Him face to face!

so what make you catholics think and decree that women cannot be priests and popes!?!?

are you "HOLIER" than Christ Himself who allowed Mary to go near Him and worship Him?

He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea,
He alone decides who writes the symphony.
He lights every star that makes our darkness bright.
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night.
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer,
Saint or sinner call and always find Him there,
Though it makes Him sad to see the way we live,
He'll always say, "I forgive."

He can grant a wish or make a dream come true.
He can paint the clouds and turn the grey to blue.
He alone knows where to find the rainbow's end,
He alone can see what lies beyond the bend.
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold.
He knows every lie that you and I have told,
Though it makes Him sad to see the way we live,
He'll always say, "I forgive."

Sympathy, compassion, fundamental respect for other's life, love for other's inherent divinity, universal outlook, and service-mindedness are all values that are called cardinal human values. Do they have direct relation to spiritual values?

Some say that because they sin, we should shun them, but isn't that being hypocritical of what Christ calls us to do in loving and accepting everybody, no matter what their story is?
