  The Blood doctrine - A Medical or Scriptural issue?

  by Jourles in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  if you were to ask any witness whether or not the blood doctrine is scripturally or medically based, you would receive the same answer 100% of the time.

  "scripturally, of course.

  there is one component in particular which shows the wts uses medically based information to cement its postion on what is and what is not allowed for a witness to accept.

  Jourles I use these two scripture to prove them wrong I love them to bring up those two scriptures. Here is only a part of my information

  Lev. 17:15

  read “As for any soul that eats a body [already] dead or something torn by a wild beast, whether a native or a alien resident, he must in that case wash his garments and bathe in water and be unclean until evening; and he must be clean.” Here God say’s even the NATIVE could eat an animal that he personally did not kill and he knew that this animal had not been bled, and not be in violation of god’s law on blood. {A native, is a person that was clearly under the Mosaic Law and bound by it} How can this be? A Native, an Israelite eating un-bled meat? If eating blood was in violation of god’s law on blood which we all know it was, how could we explain this verse? If Jehovah did not make an exception to the rule how can this be explained? If we truly know Jehovah, and understand his high regards for life it is very easy to understand. Look at Duet. 14:21 it is clear here that Jehovah told Israel not eat a body already dead. Then why would he change it at Lev. 17:15?

  A Letter I Feel I Should Share.

  there are many here who have been shunned or dis-owned by family members who are jehovah's witnesses.

  the pain, hurt and agony over this treatment wreaks havock in our lives and at times to the point of being unbearable.

  after much deliberation and thought i came to the conclusion that for me to be able to "move on" in my own life i needed to express my feelings and be heard on some level by my family.

  Good information.

  Jourles the bible does not agree with the Blood ban at all. I have mentioned this many times here. I have reseach that totaly proves the Society's stand on blood is not scriptual. I use only the bible and the Insight book. I have shown five different Elders, all agree that my reaseach is correct and out of the Five Elders one has totally quit, another had allmost quit, and one cried and he is on his way out now his wife called and to me to never talk to her husband again. I showed it to two C.O.'s and both agreed that my information was correct. I will sent it through a PM it is very long but if you read it you will be able to prove to yourself and others that the bible does not support the Society in any way shape or form on no blood transfusions. If any body wants a copy please give me a PM.

  Brush up on your Theocratic Warfare techniques!

  by Mysterious in

  2. beliefs

  ah theocratic warfare, how we love to hate you.

  the more literature i see left out pointed in my direction, underlined or highlighted of course, the less i want to consider their point of view.

  it just reinforces my decision to leave even more.

  Aw the lie, realy what is a lie? If the person is lesser than you then it is not a lie. God created the tree of knowledge you know, in the tree was the good lie that helps the knowledgable ass holes lie to bad stupid people that need to stay stupid or the GOOD guy would have to go to work for a living. Thats what GOD wants the Good guys to decieve us BAD guys because THEY are the good guys. DON"T YOU GET IT!!!

  I broke up with my wife after we where engaged to be married. I told her if could not stand up against her parents she was not ready to get married. A few months went by with her parents thinking they had won before she came around and told them to quit trying to run her life. We have been married for over 20 years now but dhe had to stand up to her parents first.

  Did God create good and evil?

  by THE SHOOTIST in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  isaiah 45:7 says he did.

  gen. 3:16/17 says that he placed the tree of knowledge of good and bad in the middle of the garden.

  didn't god say in gen 3:22 that after man ate of the fruit he has become like us (the gods)knowing good and evil.

  I can't believe they had the nerve to come back!!!

  2. experiences

  just officially finished my christmas shopping and came home to drop everything off before i had to go pick up our oldest son at kindergarten.. i ran out to check the mail before leaving and 2 elders were walking up our steps.. one of them has been to our house before and he is the same one who did the despicable funeral talk at my husbands grandmothers funeral.. the conversation goes:.

  i called the wts legal office and your organisation has been informed that if you come to our home, call or send us mail you will be trespassing and it will be considered a form of harrassment and i will call the police.. elder bw - we came to see if ________ was home so we could speak to him about his intentions?.

  me - unlike you, my husband actually works for a living, he's at work like most decent people during the day!

  Being sexually virtuous, useful or a waste of time?

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you think there is any benefit at all in being virtuous sexually, ie foregoing sexual gratification, or is it a total waste of time and effort as our atheist friends would say?

  is there anything to be gained by it, would you find a virtuous person a more trustworthy partner for example?

  does it make for more stable marriages?

  No matter how much people try not to be jealous they sometimes get that way. So I believe it is not worth the trouble of hurting your mate. So if your are virtuous it is a good thing.
