i would say 'yes' but does anyone know further.. i'm aware of the 'mediator only for the 144,00', but am i correct in saying the wts agrees, and by default all witnesses agree, that jesus died for their sins?.

Having only been a Witness for about 30 years I'm not really sure about the answer. I would say 'yes' but does anyone know further.

A very efficient fade if I may say so

Are Jehovah's Witnesses allowed to live in homes made of PLYWOOD? A Watchtower viewpoint from 1964.

by ThomasCovenant in

while looking up whether jw nurses are allowed to administer blood transfusions i found this little gem from.

watchtower 15th november 1964 page 681 .

''the use of blood in adhesives for manufacturing plywood and other commonly used materials has now come to the attention of christians, and we use plywood as an example.. much plywood is made using blood glue, but some plywood is blood-free.. a christian purchaser or contractor may seek to obtain blood-free plywood if he can do so; however, if he decides to use all types of plywood, it must be left to his conscience.

Much plywood is made using blood glue, but some plywood is blood-free.

A Christian purchaser or contractor may seek to obtain blood-free plywood if he can do so; however, if he decides to use all types of plywood, it must be left to his conscience. It is not always possible to determine just how the plywood has been made.

Because blood may be used in some plywood, this does not mean that a Christian could not buy, sell or rent a home or purchase a trailer in which plywood is found. The extent to which he would check on such matters is for him to decide.''

Well that's must have been a relief to know. Thank you Watchtower.

Can a Jehovah's Witness nurse/doctor administer a blood transfusion?

by ThomasCovenant in

have the watchtower society said/printed that witnesses who are medical staff are not allowed to participate in the blood transfusion process?

.

surely they would not showing proper respect for blood and would that be a disfellowshipping offence?.
