  during my studies i became aware of the ancient custom hebrew marriage ........12 steps in all...... during the end of the marrige ceremony the husband and wife would cut thier hands and join them as a signification of becoming one in the eyes of Jehovah...... thus mingling their blood with each others...............................

  i have 3 questions......

  are Jehovah winesses aware of this?

  would jehovah's witnesses regard this as blood transfusion?

  what would Jehovah think about many of the ancient hebrew prophets of old becoming married in this way?

  I was just the average JW, so here goes...

  during my studies i became aware of the ancient custom hebrew marriage ........12 steps in all

  12 steps! As an average JW, I only knew of two steps. Get everybody drunk at the wedding feast (Jesus turning water into wine) and the man taking the woman home with him (Joseph accepting Mary as his wife).

  during the end of the marrige ceremony the husband and wife would cut thier hands and join them as a signification of becoming one in the eyes of Jehovah

  are Jehovah winesses aware of this?

  Never been told this one and I doubt few know about it.

  would jehovah's witnesses regard this as blood transfusion?

  Couldn't tell you, but I'd bet if this was brought to the attention of the average JW, he would brand this information as apostate on the spot.

  what would Jehovah think about many of the ancient hebrew prophets of old becoming married in this way?

  Well since Jehovah is the God of the Hebrew people, I imagine Jehovah and his wife Asherah probably swapped God Blood in the same fashion.

  Good question! I would imagine a JW would have a hard time getting around this. Where are the scriptural references for this? I can email my Mom and get a stock response to the question.
