  Religion’s ‘helping’ hand in poverty.

  It’s no secret that the predominant religious institutions are some of the wealthiest bodies in our world today. Yet even among all of the collections of gold and assets, their high-stakes morals, and their claim to be the world’s path to salvation, the religious institutions have failed to help solve the poverty pandemic worldwide. This is something they surely have the finances to, at the very least, drastically reduce.

  Ironically enough, many of the developing nations of people are enveloped in the lure of organized religion, following the teachings ever so diligently without drawing a connection to the fact that these religious institutions have the means to help, but simply are not.

  Jehovah's Witnesses and "winter decorations"

  by Lynnie in

  2. beliefs

  so how many jw's do you know that do "winter decorations" instead of "holiday decorations"?

  i have a cousin that is upbaptized but very much on board with the jw's but somehow snowmen and pine boughs are okay to decorate the house as long as there is no tree.

  have anyone of you heard or seent his practice?

  Half of our Lounge is decorated in snow, winter trees, lights, snowflakes, polar bears, reindeer, penguins, snowmen, hedgehogs etc, not one thing relating to Christmas, can't believe my 'non active' but very much believing husband actually went with it. His devout family including his father (ex PO) said the thought it was great! Cool, well in that case Mr Snowman will be dropping off presents soon then....... 'It's ok, just something I made up, so we should be fine' seriously........ They should see the unnecessary repression WT hold!

  bring on Spring, flowers, lambs, blossoms, baby rabbits, eggs......oh!

  Glaring discrepency in Blood Doctrine

  by kjg132 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i found an article on the dr. sears website about the benefits of breasfeeding.

  according to the article it says: "a drop of breastmilk contains about one million white blood cells.

  " it also says "colostrum also contains higher amounts of white blood cells..........than mature milk.

  I had exactly the same thoughts, not one of my husbands family could answer this question. I played the dumb one saying, I reallyunsurewbether I should feed my baby because researching breastfeeding says that breast milk mainly contains white blood cells, but we are forbidden to take white blood cells I understand, or are there two types of white blood cells?

  interestingly, I've still it got an answer, I may bring it up again soon!
