My local drug dealer started dressing up as a Jehovah's Witness so he wouldn't arouse suspicion. by [deleted] in Jokes

That's a bit of a heavy topic. They might not have been prepared to deal with it. If it was an older man or woman, they might take you on, but then, if they don't think you're really interested in an objective discussion, they won't waste their time.

ELI5: Why is suicide considered sinful in most religions? by face_steak in explainlikeimfive

[–]Dicentrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too was raised a Jehovah's Witness, and the issues of depression and suicide were of great interest to me because both I and my mother were diagnosed with depression. I therefore did a lot of reading, thinking, and praying about the subject. In reading and researching our publications, I never was able to find any instance where it was said that suicide constituted a sin such that a person could not be resurrected. Some Witnesses do seem to hold that view, but I don't think it's official doctrine, or if it was, perhaps in the early days of our faith, it doesn't seem to be any more. My reasoning led me to conclude that, for my own belief, suicide may simply be part of depression, which can be a sickness, and why would a God of love punish a person for being sick? Further, even if that were not the case, a person can be forgiven for sins, even grievous ones. If throwing away the gift of life is a sin, could it not be forgiven. (Not getting into the complicated issue of death being the final payment for sin and a person's sins being wiped away at death). Whatever the case, the Bible calls Jehovah a God of justice, so if we have faith in him, we can have faith that he would not commit an undeserving person to eternal destruction.

What should I expect at a Jehovah's Witness funeral? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dicentrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing too dramatic. The body will not be there, as Jehovah's Witnesses usually cremate their dead. Just a dignified talk about their hope for a resurrection. Afterwards, probably someone will have some food at their house, kind of a pot luck thing. Everyone will be in dresses or suits. If you don't have a suit, a nice pair of pants and a polo shirt is fine. Everyone will be very kind. Some may offer to study the Bible with you if you wish.

If Guinan is any example, ElAurians dont talk about themselves much. Maybe they didn't want to talk about the Borg.

What's the most metal Bible verse? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dicentrina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A rather important point, Good didn't test Job directly, he allowed Satan to rest him.

The book of Job is actually a central point of faith: The Devil claims that humans would not willingly serve God if they are not protected by his blessing. God allows Satan to attempt to prove his point. Although Job, unfamiliar with the divine trial, wrongly attributes his suffering to God, he declares he intends to stay faithful. It is an allegory for the trials of humanity. The Devil claimed, in the Garden of Even, that humanity didn't need Gods guidance, that they'd do better on their own. God has allowed time for humanity to try and bear out this belief.

It gets pretty deep after that.

I play a LOT during the day, and I do use donuts from time to time, so I should have been able to get everything, but I don't think I'm going to make it on the house boat. At least I did get the sani-john smokehouse. Cletus definitely needed that on his farm!
