Blood and Food
by Lampokey ini am well aware of jw doctrine concerning blood and its foundations in acts 15:20.. i am also well aware of how much discussion this has provoked.. could ex , or current , jw's comment on one aspect of this please :.
the ban on blood seems unequivocal and would seem not to leave any room for compromising.. in that case , would eating a piece of red meat be in violation of jw's beliefs?
presumably , it would , as even a well-cooked piece of meat would contain blood molecules.have any jw's raised this point with their congration's elders?.

Perhaps you are allowed to eat blood in meat if all the blood factions are seperated. ?!?!

Could WBTS be forced to pay tax in America?
by Gadget inin another thread link said: .
i am not well versed in u.s. tax laws but it is my understanding that even in the u.s.anyone making loans on which interest is charged is considered to be operating a taxable business.
in the u.k. the societies loans are interest free but they take control of the building once the loan has been completely repaid.

Even if tax was charged in the US, they'd find a way to avoid paying it.
The literature donation is a classic example. Mr Swaggert gets stomped on for taxes, within a month, the WBTS gets new light and now all literature is not charged for, but voluntary donations are requested.
Call me cynical, but after the French decision to fine the WBTS millions of dollars in back tax, hey presto, there is now a website, in the UK, where all brothers and sisters world wide can now donate, from the comfort of there own homes and the WTBS will never have to disclose to any government how much it gets in donations and therefore never have to pay any tax. As far as I can see, the charity tax issue is not a vote winner in the UK, so I can't see it happening here. -

Another name for Christmas???
by ohiocowboy ini absolutely love this time of year, and the warm feelings, and the general feeling of good will emitting from people, but, not really having a faith in christ or religion, i somehow find it difficult to use the word christmas, as it denotes a celebration of christ... .
for those of us who enjoy this season, but aren't really firm believers, can any of us think of a name that could be used instead of the word "christmas", that would have special meaning for believers and non-believers alike, a word that evokes the same emotional feelings?
i have spent the past week decking the halls, and setting up the "christmas" tree(s), getting ready for this holiday which i enjoy so much, but it is that one word "christmas" that somehow makes me feel as though i am contradicting myself, because i no longer have a faith in that higher power.

Can you imagine if he became a baptised dubbie and ascended to the throne?
JW would be the state religion. It would be the United "Jehovah's" Kindom. Brooklyn would be moved to Slough (you seen The Office?). It would end up the Christian version of Iran, a secret police force made up of elders, who monitor meeting attendance and field service reporting and play nice cop bad cop on shepherding calls.
Geez, you could really have fun with this scenerio :) -
