Can anyone explain why, please? - because there hasn't ever been a referendum on it.
Does the majority of US citizens actually want an NHS-style healthcare system?

What would Watchtower Corporation(tm) do?
by punkofnice inwhat would watchtower corporation(tm) do in compromise of their 'north korean style rules' if by publicly removing them, they could get more money and power?.
if each governing body(tm) member (pee be upon them), were offered a few million quid/bucks each to rescind the barbaric 'no whole blood' rule?.
i know what i think these fake religionists would do.

EG. If each Governing Body(tm) member (Pee be upon them), were offered a few million quid/bucks each to rescind the barbaric 'no whole blood' rule? - this is an interesting thought.
But I think that they might well refuse this money, knowing that their refusal would probably lead to an increase of donations among the faithful (brainwashed) and save face.
The GB or whoever are in charge of the religion are pretty canny. They know how to keep their bullshit going. Let's face it, they've been doing just that for 150 years, lol.

Of course they cover up their shunning policy.
Just like they cover up the fact that, until only very recently, they required two witnesses for child sex abuse.
Theocratic Warfare (TM).

To All Those Keen To Tell Us About Their Beliefs
by Simon inwe seem to have had an influx of religiots - the people who want to tell us all about how we / the wts / whoever are wrong, wrong, wrong about everything and how right they are.
they obviously have special insight, or voices (probably voices, right?
) telling them the real truth.. as proof, there is inevitably a wall of random scripture references and quotes.. sorry, but we're not here for that.

Of course people often view all Christians through the lens of Evangelical Christianity - evangelicals are just one branch of Christianity. They deserve criticism, but I'm not sure they should be used to represent Christianity.
You're one of the nice ones, Jan

If you agree Jesus wouldn’t have followed a superstition to avoid the divine name then I don’t know what exactly we disagree about - I'm not sure we have anything to disagree about in this thread.
I'm just pointing out how the divine name was used so repeatedly in the OT that it almost became monotonous, whereas it was only used sparingly in the NT.
I think the words you’re looking for are ‘hallowed be thy name’ - yes, those words were part of the model prayer. But Jesus encouraged his followers to call God 'our Father'. Which sons or daughters call their father by his own name? I certainly don't call my father by his own name ...

I take your point, Jan, but as I understand it a heart defect is a specific disorder.
I wouldn't file that under 'natural causes'.
As I understand it, natural causes is used when someone is 70 or 90 or 100 and their heart just stops beating and they die peacefully in their sleep.
I don't think this happened here.
(BTW, I'd like to echo Unky Punky's sentiments - I hope this man's loved ones get comfort and support at this difficult time. I should have said this in my original post.)

@Slim
So that's just three occasions in the whole of the Gospels. Slim(boyfat) pickings, lol.
I accept that Jesus likely wasn't bound by any silly superstitions on using the divine name but, like I said, Jesus didn't use the divine name much at all.
For instance, he could have used it when he taught his followers to pray, but chose not to.
He said: 'you must pray, then, this way - Our Father who art in heaven, etc'
And not: 'you must pray this way - Jehovah God, blah blah blah'

This guy's death is not really any of my business but he was a famous person, a public figure, and usually in these cases a cause of death is given.
He was only 46 years old. How can a 46 year old die from 'natural causes'?
