Wow Grace what a great job! I really liked the point you made that the attorney is not representing the parents or the children he is representing the Watchtower. Well done!

IF YOU TALK TO THE MEDIA ON BLOOD, FOCUS/GET THIS POINT IN

by skeeter1 in

i've read alot of stories on the sextuplets, and it's great to have the media reporting 'bad' light on the no-blood policy & jws in general.

but, we need to ramp it up.

the media is missing the big story - the fraction lie.

Can JW's value life when they OPPOSE abortion but BAN blood transfusions?

by truthseeker in

someone needs to get the word out that the only reason blood was banned was to incite persecution against jehovah's witnesses.

after the end of world war ii did not bring armageddon.

the book four presidents of the watchtower society says that individuals were considering banning blood transfusions but that rutherford was against it.. jehovah's witnesses say that abortion is wrong, that even if life is just a few cells, it's worth protecting and would be murder if someone aborted it yet.

TowerWatch

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society says Blood is sacred because it represents life. Jehovah’s Witnesses are expected to give up their lives out of respect for blood because it represents life. What I have yet to figure out is, how can something be more sacred than what it represents.

Rather than deciding solely on the basis of personal preference or some medical recommendation, each Christian ought to consider seriously what the Bible says. It is a matter between him and Jehovah.

Jehovah, to whom we owe our lives, decreed that blood should not be consumed. (Genesis 9:3, 4) In the Law for ancient Israel, God limited the use of blood because it represents life. He decreed: "The soul [or life] of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have put it upon the altar for you to make atonement for your souls." What if a man killed an animal for food? God said: "He must in that case pour its blood out and cover it with dust." (Leviticus 17:11, 13) Jehovah repeated this command again and again. (Deuteronomy 12:16, 24; 15:23) The Jewish SoncinoChumash notes: "The blood must not be stored but rendered unfit for consumption by pouring it on the ground." No Israelite was to appropriate, store, and use the blood of anothercreature, whose life belonged to God.

FYI I had less than 15 Minutes notice for this interview so I had little time to prepare and was not told what questions would be ask.

Do you have to get baptized to be saved?

by JH in

1 peter 3:21.

21that which corresponds to this is also now saving you, namely, baptism, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request made to god for a good conscience,) through the resurrection of jesus christ.. the witnesses say that you have to get baptized to be saved, but what will happen to jw children that aren't baptized or jw teens that didn't get baptized yet?.

.

TowerWatch

It's a commandment (yes, it will get tricky now) but it dosen't save you. Baptismal is the outward confession that you made Jesus as Lord. IMO, if you were baptized as a Witness, you need not to get Baptized again, unless you feel that you must do it again.

Well-said A-Team, I agree. Cal

MAT. 24:14 FULLFILED - MIAMI ASSEMBLY

by pixel in

i was talking this morning while i was preaching with this sister, and she asked me: do you know that the preaching work will be done soon?

i asked her: what do you mean?

she responded back: a sister (and i know her also) told me that her brother heard that the preaching is gonna be over because there are only two countries that jw can't go because it's too dangerous and yada yada yada.

TowerWatch

Last time I heard the story Jehovah's Witnesses were in all but three countries now just a few days later and the number is down to two.

It's happening fast, it must true this time.
