this is not meant to be a slag off the bible thread.. i had a question asked me the other day and it was: 'do you live by anything from the bible?'.
i had to think about that one because i was force grown in the filthy, disgusting cult of the paedophile loving watchtower(r).. you know what?
i really don't know if i just naturally am a great bloke or if any 'nice' bits in the bible influenced me......or has western culture been influenced by the bible for good and bad?.
This one.
Deuteronomy 18 somewhere: If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken.
Even that isn't unique. Anything of real value in that collection of books can be found in other writings too.
there's been a buzz on this forum - on and off but currently on - that there has not been an article in any watchtower publication on the blood ban for a while - which feeds speculation that the organization is distancing itself from this doctrinal absurdity.
does that mean there's been nothing mentioned about the blood doctrine for months or years?
specifically, when did the watchtower last mention the blood ban?
They need to keep it.
It makes them 'special'.
There is another good reason too. Charlie Manson used it. Getting someone to do something that they would abhore as their normal non-cult self and the incentive to leave you, or betray you and admit to their peers that they committed, condoned and encouraged such acts without good reason because they were influenced by a nutter cult leader, stupidity, failure to do proper research on the creeps in charge, etc., is an extremely powerful control tool.

Vamdrup and Børkop are only 35 minutes apart. Maybe that area is getting short on Elders.

Wasn't Devonport an old movie theater with bugger all car parking?
the other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.
the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?
" this friend does not know how to answer this question.
You should be ok, because you weren't debating, or opposing the doctine, or offering a different doctrine, just expressing your feelings about it. The silence is a good thing. If you ever get silence, the best thing to do is shut up and let them think.
after years of hard work and study, former bethel boy snare & racket is now officially a medical doctor.. his story is an inspiration that there can be life after the watchtower.
he has given me permission to post his graduation picture.. .
Excellent. I wish you all the best for your career S&R.

They still maintain their position on blood on their public website. Does that count?

i've heard psalm 11 and 1 thessolonians 4 crammed down the throat so many times it's not funny.. if i was still a beliver (i'm not):.
jehovah hates violence:.
king and chronicles has numerous sex scenes.
He wasn't married to Mary
so scanning through the gods kingdom rules i found this gem on page 228.. .
"in heaven, the 144,000 corulers with christ will recieve authority to share with jesus in weilding an "iron rod" of destruction against all enemies of gods kingdom.
( rev 2 26,27) then, together with powerful angels, the resurrected anointed ones will follow christ, the warrior king, as he sets out to confront the "vast army" of enemies that is closing in on its prey - jehovahs people.".
Deleted cos I was wrong
