The fact is that the Watchtower leaders need always to impose a scandalous doctrine. And as Gruss said , the blood ban was intended to convince the membership they were being "persecuted" and "suffering for righteousness sake," a sure sign they were "in the truth." -

Atheism
by Jonathan Drake inrecent events and book reads (one suggested by cofty i believe- thank you) have lead me to the only logical and acceptable conclusion:.
there is no god.. simple logical reasoning: matter can neither me created or destroyed.
so the amount of mass in the universe is constant.

I don't know if Marvin remembers our last discussion in Channel C (now offline). In our last discussion I still believed that the story of Adam and Eve was true history. Marvin wrote me that some OT passages can't be taken literally because they would lead us to absurdities. And yes, I admit now that Marvin was right. Currently I no longer believe in those OT myths, however I still believe that if you don't believe in those stories in the same way as the NT writers did, you have to admit that no holy spirit was inspiring them. So, the god of the NT is as false as that of OT. -

When you realize that even liberal christians try to hide the sun with a finger
by opusdei1972 insome christians currently admit that many of accounts of the first books of the bible do not tell true histories.
however, to save the value of the bible they argue that these stories have to be understood as allegories.
of course, they try to distract us by saying we should concentrate us in the new testament.

Some christians currently admit that many of accounts of the first books of the Bible do not tell true histories. However, to save the value of the Bible they argue that these stories have to be understood as allegories. Of course, they try to distract us by saying we should concentrate us in the New Testament. However, this is not what the NT teaches. Let us read some examples:
…13For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. (1 Timothy 2:13-14)If Paul did not write the above words, it was one of his disciples. Whatever, the pauline school (under the holy spirit) thought that Adam and Eve existed as told by the book of Genesis. However, scientific facts have proven that well before Adam and Eve there were already men and women. It is clear that the pauline school was misled by the holy spirit, because they believed in a tale.
Let's read another one of the pauline circle:
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days. (Hebrews 11:30)
The archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon, without any holy spirit, discovered that Jericho was destroyed one century before Joshua (according to the Bible) went to that city. So, we can see that the author of this letter believed in that false history.
Accordingly, the following are the most deceiving words ever uttered (by the false author of the fourth Gospel):
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.(John 16:13) -

Modern Jews have a simpler solution, they use common sense :
Dorff, Conservative Judaism’s leading expert on medical ethics and chairman of the Rabbinical Assembly’s Committee on Jewish Law and Standards (CJLS), says that under halachah, or Jewish law, the case would be open-and-shut.
First, halachah does not consider a blood transfusion to be at all akin to the forbidden act of eating blood. Secondly, even eating blood would be permitted under Jewish law to save a life.

Currently I don't think that eat blood is a sin, because I don't believe that YHWH is God, but a false god. -

We may infer that Jews were not worry if gentiles ate blood, because they let them to eat unbled animals. -

Some Early Church Fathers even ignored the name YHWH
by opusdei1972 ini was reading the bart's answer to terry on th name "jehovah", and i remembered that when i did my personal study about the church fathers of the second century i found that justin martyr ignored the divine name:.
from the first apology of justin martyr:.
... and as many virtues as are peculiar to a god who is called by no proper name.

From the First Apology of Justin Martyr:
... and as many virtues as are peculiar to a God who is called by no proper name. (Chapter 10)
For no one can utter the name of the ineffable God; and if any one dare to say that there is a name, he raves with a hopeless madness. (Chapter 61)Justin lived during the first half of the second century, so he knew no NT manuscript containing the name YHWH. And by other Justing's readings I concluded that he only knew, the OT Greek version, the Septuagint, in which you find "Kurios" (Lord) instead of YHWH.
So, Justin was a bad "Jehovah's witness". :)

I have these two interesting phrases, so I joined them:
Due to the mercy of God, as displayed in all of the legal provisions of his property and the property of the Israelites in general, what David did was not “wrong” in God’s eyes, even though “technically” unlawful............Does that mean that we therefore have the right to indiscriminately use blood if a need is established? No.
Did you see the ethical contradictions in the above sentences?
