New Light On Blood

by freeman in

jw
friends

in order for meat to be blood free, as the jews and the early christians would have understood it, one has to cut the neck of the animal and let its heart pump the blood out.

not hit it over the head like they do in the slaughterhouses today.

also you have to remove the veins and arteries starting at the neck working down.

Acts:
People who say they're christian have been playin with your heads by tellin you weird rules on how to conduct yourselves, but don't be freakin out, we didn't tell them to do it. Anyway, we decided that some of us better come and tune you about it.

Now God has blown us away again by comin up with this. All you need to remember is four things. Idols, blood, breath and sex.
For good spiritual development certain stuff should be refrained from.
- from what is sacrificed to idols (stuff for masters that don't care for your spirit)
- from blood (revenge and that type of debt, unforgiveness, requiring forgiveness, hogging blood etc, blood is precious)
- from what's strangled (avoid ways and things havin the Spirit squeezed out)
- from unchastity (from preoccupyin yourself with sex, manipulating people, and makin off with your own soul)

When you do these things you'll be carvin.
__________________________________________

The idea of becoming like who you eat is as ancient as man and it's this type of 'eating' that's expressed in biblical writings. The WT society need to understand the meanings of the culinary observances of Moses (and before), spiritual writings that have 'by no means passed away'. The WT society don't spiritually discern eating 'blood' because they don't eat the four legged animals with 'divided hoofs'.

If we tolerate this then our children will be next

if we tolerate this then our children will be next.. we have got to put a stop to this mad organisation.. giving people false hopes taking away thier lives , their free will.. i lost 27 years of my life to jehovahs witness from a newborn baby my mind was filled with their teachings , i was going to live forever never going to die .. all life was to be centered around the truth.. i trusted these people and all i got was a kick in the teeth when i questioned it.. there has got to be something we can do , lets not let our hands be tied .. i dont k now what can be done but if we don't do something soon the org is just going to change people will start flocking in again and more lives will be ruined.

Do our pockets have gate keys in them or what.

It's quite reassuring to know you're representing the JWs, Fred. It would be insulting of me to ignore you and not say.

Leaflet discussion

by Bang in

from freeborg,.

i have been a reader of this message board for a number of years and this is the first comment i have made in that time.

i have been part of the wts for 20 years my parents believed they had found the truth when i was 10 and from then on we hung to every word uttered from the platform at the kingdom hall.

From freeborg,

Hi to all,
I have been a reader of this message board for a number of years and this is the first comment I have made in that time. I have been part of the WTS for 20 years my parents believed they had found the truth when I was 10 and from then on we hung to every word uttered from the platform at the kingdom hall. My wife was a witness brought up in the WTS all her life so the WTS was a massive part of all our familes lives from parents to brothers and sisters. Over the last 5 years as a family we have all undergone injustice from the WTS and its members, this has come in the form of accusations of apostacy, shunning, family members still active witnesses refusing to associate with us. Close friends that we have built up friendships with have turned round and branded us wordly and unfit to associate with. All this has been heaped on us because we dared question the organisations origins and stopped attending meetings and going on field service. To date most of the family have turned there backs on the WTS which numbers around 20 people in total including myself, we have all had enough of the lies, hrypocrisy, dangerous, demonic activities of the WTS. My own experience is that I was happy to stop going and not involve myself with the organisation and its members but from comments about me and my family I feel the need to take action, action which in a positive way may help others not get involved in ths evil cult. Yes I have been branded an apostate and because of that will live up to the name and give my accuses an apostate that will be a thorn in there sides.
I am starting a leaflet campaign in a number of areas in the United Kingdom and would welcome comments about information that should be included. The leaflet will be A4 size and fold to a third of its size. I need to include information that gets the attention and gives people the opportunity to counter JW's comments that may call. If the witnesses want armageddon then I suggest we give it to them but not in the form they are expecting.

Good points by sadiejive - no negative type hate stuff, informative, and things that won't be told by JWs.
Keep it coming sadie.

From anewperson - members tell on each other (love that one), and more..

Keep it coming.

My gut instinct is that scriptural references etc. probably aren't the stuff for the 'lay' person. Things like 'who are elders?' etc. would probably have people gettin' out the barge poles.

Freeborg,

Let's go. I'd like to see them out of my region as well.

For a start I'll copy (if that's ok) your post onto the Study Articles section so it won't be lost in the load of the Main section.

This whole thing should be done well, with impact. The format for the intended recipients, who are they?, the layout, content, key issues, biblical at all? or not? etc. I'd really like to see this work. If necessary, any biblical refutation of WT 'bible knowledge' can be given short and sweet.
Feel free to email me at [email protected].

Part of the ease of this is that if you're asked why by some JWs, and you tell them truthfully why, they start dividing up among themselves. In their own righteousness, they beat the others.

I'll be waiting to see a post of what you have in mind.
My own street is already 'saved' from listening to them.
Have you considered other media?

IoI! Watchtowers'Trinity' brochure full of errors?

ran accross this article on the watch tower publication:.

should you believe in the trinity?.

very informative for us that like to dig deep into wt errors.

Bang

They certainly provide a lot of testimony of men in the effort.
Perhaps the bit about revelation didn't sink in.

very alone..

by flower in

i know that people have been in the same boat as i am and have felt the same but i still feel very alone tonight.

and very depressed.

i dont think some people understand even here.

Bang

Hi flower,

Just thought I'd say Hi, so you didn't feel so alone. I'm on the other side of the world but I'll be thinking of you and praying for you tonight as I go to sleep. Your most welcome to come stay at our place, but it might be a bit hard to get here. There are others who'll be praying for you too, so you may not be as alone as you think. I'll be waiting to see another post from you, just as I did this one. Take heart now and be patient. Do you have money, are you physically ok?

Who of you in this forum have been df'ed?

by YoYoMama in

if it is possible can you post why you were disfellowshipped?

Bang

YoYo,

I've never been F'd.
I never will be F'd, so I suppose I can't be D-F'd.
If I can't be D-F'd, what do your rules say about speaking to me ?

I heard tales that an imaginary beast spoke to a people.

Whats the strangest watchtower/awake article ever

by sleepy in

jw
friends

whats the strangest watchtower/awake or other publication article you,ve ever seen?.

i know theres some very strange old articles , but a few years ago there was one in the awake if i remmember right which had a picture of two brothers holding hands on the ministrty.. one was african the other white.. apparently it was common for men to hold hands in this country and was perectly normal for hetrosexual men to do.. a brother who was a missionary recounted how he was shocked when out with a local brother for the first time on the ministry and the brother took his hand in his.. a lot of people though the article was very odd and didn't like it.

Don't tell em' that, they might start doing things to their kids with needles.

I just read this and started laughing.

"Partly because of eagerness to be alive when Jesus Christ reveals himself in glory, there have been believers throughout the centuries who began looking for a particular period or a year for the windup of the ungodly system of things. this has happened right down to these 'last days.'"
