i have never been so convinced wts blood policy is evil and wrong.
.
Never heard of him, interesting story.
I'm sure the cult leaders would explain, it's not whole blood it's only a fraction of the blood so it's ok. Also before 1950ish it would be ok. Although before 1974ish you would be disfellowshipped and condemned for taking it
After all, Jehovah never changes!
i know most people here are totally out and that’s fine.. many these days are staying physically in for the social life and that is also fine.. i feel being fully mentally in is dangerous as it could be such a shock mentally if or should i say when the tower collapsed.. im sitting in the fence like so many others here.
mentally agnostic if god exists or not and if the bible is his word.. when i talk to people who are physically and mentally still in i can tell that they so need it to be true.
i’m worried for them when they wake up to the fact that they have been lied to 1914 wasn’t true 1975 wasn’t true 1999 wasn’t true and now here we are 2025 it’s all not true.
It's the ole red pill, blue pill dilema.
I personally want to be fully awake and know the truth. Red pill all the way!
I would classify myself as POMA but not agnostic to the JW belief system, agnostic to the Christian belief system. With that said, I also want to believe the mainstream Christian faith. What else is there? I don't believe we just randomly developed out of amino acids.
Every JW reaches a fork in the road where they have the ole red pill, blue pill dilema. I've seen it happen several times, friends and close family members. Usaully they take the blue pill which is the least path of resistance and problems. In the end though it is the wrong choice and causes more problems.

so from the get go in study article 18 and the theme :"imitate the faithful angels" we read the following questionable statement in paragraph 1: "when jehovah drew you to the truth, he invited you into a diverse and loving family of worshippers, which includes millions of faithful angels.
(dan.
We do not need to reach perfection to have immortality.
All we need is for Jehovah to let us have access to the tree of life.
See Gen. 3:22
The only reason we can't live forever right now, with the bodies we have is because we're not allowed to eat that damn magic fruit !!! There's gotta be some seeds floating around from that tree. Come on Jehovah please plant another tree with magic fruit.
where did this phrase 'in the truth' come from?.
it's been around as long as i can remember.
is it from the time they were promoting 'the truth shall make you free' book back in 1943?
so, here i am going through boxes and boxes of old wt literature.
i’m stacking it up from 1940’s to 1990’s.
i also have quite a few gems, like one 1917 studies in the scriptures.
The older stuff with controversial, 'old light' teachings or predictions sell for more.
Even if you don't know how to use Ebay, go on it look up the books you have and see what they are selling for.
Some can be quite valuable others not worth the time and effort.
I've sold a few and made a couple bucks.
the plan the democrats in the usa were trying to implement world wide was their ideology.
they wanted open borders for every country, they wanted to rid the middle class entirely.
they wanted a small group of people to run the world.
Dems are screeching about all this. If they were smart they would get on board, but they are probably guilty.
i really enjoyed the movie, but i am a little biased since i also liked their tv series.
i like the play on words with the title.
anyway for some reason his life story and his conversion and baptism just made it crystal clear to me what it means to be baptized and born again.

Really just reaffirmed my belief that Jehovah Witnesses are not even Christians because they are not born again. JW's really are a false religion and false angels of light who's only purpose is to destroy mainstream Christianity.
I enjoyed Phil's personal appearance and comments at the end of the film. I'm suprised it didn't do better in the box office, then again not really that suprised.
we get old because jehovah had to prove to all the angels that his way of ruling was the best?
that's the sorriest argument the watchtower has come up with.

Jehovah said if you eat from the tree of knowledge the punishment is death. Somehow that deal got altered to include child birth pain, unfruitful land and children paying for the sins of their parents.
I always think of Lando Calrissian complaining to Darth Vader "that was never part of the deal!" and Darth Vader replys "I am altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it farther."
