  Trump is now saying, he should have talked tougher.

  That's not what he said.

  He said that maybe his statement was not tough enough. In other other words, maybe NK needs something tougher than a mere statement. When asked how can anything be tougher than fire and fury, he replied "We'll see."

  NK threats and rocket launches is a stage to proclaim to be the US and to the world that NK is a superpower. Like China and Pakistan NK wants to sit at the table with the big boys now. When Pakistan became nuclear, they proclaimed that they had a little gift for the US. The US said nothing.

  Anyone recall someone disfellowshipped for gluttony???

  by James Mixon in

  2. bible

  gluttony seems to be a sin that jw's like to ignore .there are several scriptures that point out that gluttony is a sin, proverbs 23:20-21 "do not join those who gorge themselves on meat".....also i read somewhere that 1% is the number of disfellowshipped jw's each year......how do prove someone is a glutton and not just a person who love food???

  So the Christian has good reason to work hard in being a good example in moderation.

  Is an elder who is fat because he over eats moderate in habits? How about other overweight persons in the Cong?

  1988 wt publication discusses how to avoid gluttony and also talks about spiritual gluttony. Don't know if it is still in print. Also, 1888 Zion's wt. Great spiritual food at that time.

  The most successful teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses and an amazing new book on the divine name

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.

  but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .

  i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.

  have to say, based on this thread alone, that SBF remains perhaps my favorite poster. He doesn't play the game and articulates issues well - which is not to say I always agree with him. But he gets me thinking which I value.

  Same here Steve and I have also expressed on other threads how much I enjoy and respect his posts even when I don't agree with him. He is one of the best posters here and also a talented writer -as I have expressed before.

  Believers: How do you know your view of your chosen holy book is the correct one?

  don't start fighting, darlings.

  i am genuinely curious.

  after all i was a jobo 50 years and thought the wbt$ was 100% correct.. i ask this because i see that, for example, christian denominations (or whatever), likely have differing interpretations of the same writing.

  Blood Transfusions/Blood Salvage

  by NJ501 in

  1. watchtower

  hi all,i've been doing some research on blood transfusions and fractions.

  i found out a patient can donate their own blood, so it can be used for elective surgery...i was wondering if theirs really any difference between a blood transfusion of your own blood and the blood salvage procedure.

  i think quite similar since its just a re-transfusion of your own blood.. what are your thoughts?

  What are your thoughts? Would it be acceptable by the JW doctrine?

  No. It violates JW doctrine.
