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.

cofty that's your opinion. it is the word of god and its up to people to let it guide them. But that does not matter. I want to know what you personally feel about getting jws to see that what the bible said about blood is false. Would it work? if so how?

Oh man I forgot. I was just basing with what I knew on that subject. Maybe an alternative approach to this is to get them to see that what the bible says about this is not true. I mean it isn't true after all. The bible is the word of god and it is spirit directed but at the end of the day god choose men to write it. So it's largely based on assumptions rather than merit. You can surely tell this to the non absent and interested about doctrine jws. right?

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.

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.

pressman

I don't know. maybe he did not mean it literal
