  Has the WT ever said it's okay to steak rare?

  by neverendingjourney in

  2. bible

  i'm revisiting an old topic here, but this was a subject of much confusion for me when i was still a witness.

  i went to a spanish congregation in the u.s. and it seemed to be taken for granted by most that you needed to cook beef thoroughly to "get rid" of the blood.

  i was surprised when i learned that folks in the english speaking hall would order a steak medium-rare and think nothing of it.. it wasn't until after i left the witnesses that it started to occur to me that if the red fluid that was present when you'd cut the beef was blood, cooking it thoroughly wouldn't get rid of it, it'd just cook it and transform it into another color.

  I wonder if French JWs eat Steak tartare that is minced and completely uncooked and served with a raw egg on top?

  Oh yes! I can say that french, even JW,s are fond about steak tartare... And most of them, like almost all french like their meat (very) rare.. All of them always said "It's not blood, it's meat juice"
  
  And we eat a lot of living oyster, frog, shrimp and prawn. And without to bleed them of course!

  And I never ear a JW wonder if the fish they eat was bleed!
  
  In fact, they almost only check in black sausage and pork products...

  In the JW-mind, "religion" = "Catholic roman church in occidental rich countries "...

  Because, to ask the question "Is religion dying out ?", you have to choose to don't take in count :

  - almost all facts about Islam

  - almost all the facts obout asiatics religions

  - almost all the facts about catholic, protestants and evangelical success in south america and Africa...

  - almost all the facts about orthodox churches in eastern-europe and western-Russia

  - and a lot of another facts

  In fact, all that in mind, When you ask the question "Is religion dying out ?", you ask in fact "Is MY religion dying out ?"

  How much damage has internet done against the The Watchtower Society ?

  by opusdei1972 in

  in the beginning of internet the society was worried about the information published exposing its falsehood.

  so, i wonder how many people lost the society on account of forums and web sites like this.

  July 19th Watchtower Summary. Insanity

  by Lemonp in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just got back from the wt study and it overall was just so blindingly biased and leading.. i had to read it from the platform too, i hope they couldn't see the confounded look on my face as i read this craziness out!.

  first we consider the faith of abel, enoch, noah, abraham, isaac and jacob, and moses.. all of these people are held up as sterling examples of blind faith, with the article pointedly saying that their imaginations sustained their faith in gods promises for them.

  no mention anywhere at all that all of these characters saw and talked to angels, spoke to god himself, saw and performed miracles, or any of the other feats experienced by these characters.

  So brothers, don't worry about what you believe! Just make sure you believe!

  I think you have the point.

  Great summary of WTBTS "thinking".

  Vidiot - Actually, a compelling argument could be made that they know it's wrong and believe it's true at the same time...

  How schizophrenic! :D

  The increase here in the USA come from immigrants.

  Here, all the JWs I saw was blacks or old. Not a single young white JW. Ah yes perhaps one time. But clearly a born-in!

  Probable Discovery of Life on Comet Philae

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  according to leading astronomers the probe philae that landed on the comet 67p last november may have discovered microbial life..... sadly neither the probe nor the orbiter rosetta are equipped to test directly but the evidence is interesting.

  these are not easily explained in terms of prebiotic chemistry.

  the dark material is being constantly replenished as it is boiled off by heat from the sun.

  I make you remember than 4 years ago, when some banks made mess, "we" found 2 000 billions dollars in few days to save them...

  Now, for a country who made mess, that is to say human people, they don't find 50 little billions dollars?
