nope. they just have to be ready to be intelligent. and Again blood does not represent life, man. The bible was not written by god but by men. I'm sure men would like to think that. I'm only judging the gone minds. You cannot help to reason with some on this topic and have a decent intelligent discussion. For some, you just cannot find any common ground. That's why I say it was stupid.

The Watchtower are Right About Blood...
by cofty in... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.

ok I have read it and I do not agree. You are basically saying that you agree with them about blood. Blood does not represent life by itself. It just doesn't. Also it's stupid to think you can reason with gone minds about something where they don't think at all so the bit about finding common ground is just dumb. The only thing they want is for you to become one of them. Heck it doesn't event matter if you agree or disagree as long as you agree to be baptized.

For Witnesses Attending the Memorial!
by The Searcher in(1 corinthians 11:23-25) ".......that the lord jesus on the night on which he was going to be betrayed took a loaf, 24 and after giving thanks, he broke it and said: "this means my body, which is in your behalf.
keep doing this in remembrance of me.
" 25 he did the same with the cup also, after they had the evening meal, saying: "this cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood.

If the Jehovah's Witnesses were really the Faithful & Discrete Slave active today, they wouldn't be full of Bullshit
by Finkelstein inif the watchtower corporation and the jehovah's witnesses were really the faithful & discrete slave active today, they wouldn't be full of bullshit .. this is a logical statement given the history of this religious institute / publishing house.
i said it before and i'll say it again, that the majority of the doctrines created by the wts were intensionally focused toward enhancing the proliferation of the wts own publications.
this has been a constant underlining agenda for the wts all throughout the last century, the end of the 19th century and still to this day.

yes. most of the books and information online are not even focused on Jehovah, the one they are following. Honestly, though, even if they were not full of it, they'd still be wrong. -

the wackiest thing would have to be that child abusers don't need to be reported to the police. Jahs organization is more suited to discipline than the police. and that's a true statement. ha.
