Why don't you go and ask him for proof that he was pronounced dead twice, if he doesn't have it then you might have reason to doubt.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Once you are pronounced dead resuscitation measures stop. I have done CPR in the hospital setting. When the doc says stop , we stop , the time is noted, the family is notified. No one is pronounced DOA and then receives rescue measures. It's all Christian / NDE hype.

So I'm confused, why would they be asking people, who they consider sinners, for money?  Wouldn't that money be tainted as far as they are concerned? 

Has anyone heard that the JW's are falling on hard times?

I found this about soliciting money: https://cult101.com/2016/06/14/do-jehova...for-money/

It's easy to get bounced out of Jehovah's Witnesses, they look askew at slackers in their midst.  Hence their continuous proselytization efforts yet they never get bigger and IIRC, are shrinking some.

Additionally, they do have some 'entrance criteria' in that they discourage folks with college degrees from joining.  It occurs to me if Bernie Sanders is successful with his free (compulsory?) college proposal we could be rid of JWs once and for all . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

That's like one of the most depressing stuff you can witness. Painful to read.

Oh at this point it's amusing. These are the same people that pass out free bibles at the intersection their church is on. I was actually laughing as I read and him getting brought back from the dead and how he turned to Christ.

I would hope at least A Link to the Past, if not Earthbound.

I had to double check you couldn't see which game was in there cause that's a great guess. I'm playing Link to the Past which is why the system is out instead of on the shelf with the other game systems.

I just picked a couple of the best SNES games I could think of. Series still ongoing today. Of course I'm also a big Zelda fan, and I know how big ALttP was for the series.

I'm sure that all of these "THE DOCTORS SAID I WAS DEAD" claims in NDE stories are either outright falsehoods or misinterpretations of what the doctors said.  Because, yeah, they may have been working on you for a few minutes to get a pulse/restart breathing, but that doesn't mean you were pronounced dead and then WWE Undertaker-ed yourself up to a creepy sitting position.

People around me have often claimed "he was dead to the world".  The next day I was usually the "walking dead".
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

To quote Julius Caesar, "men willingly believe what they wish to be true."

Religitards are the prime example of that.
