Blood Fraction

ok i need help here, i want to know how i can justify taking blood fractions, from stored and collected blood?

how do i answer my relatives, the people who are the most wonderful people in the world even though they are roman catholic, they are not trying to persecute me, they love me, so i dont even want to go the persecution route.also where is the biblical support for fractions.

i feel it is selfish to take from bloodbanks, but not give in return, and on top of that hear badmouthing of bloodbanks.

some time back i noted on another board that what is really needed is a site wherein a witness can discuss his faith.

not a site where everything that is not considered 'positive' is censored (what can you discuss then?

) and not a site for bashing jw's (if there is nothing positive, what's the point?

Would you listen to a rumour?

remember that article brothers?we have been up and running for less than a week and already have had accusations of apostacy bandied about.please stop and think before you make a serious allegation like this.

imagine the hurt it would cause to a genuine brother if it wasn't true.this doesn't mean that we should let our guard down against those who would try and disrupt things or cause divisions amongst us but i'm sure these poeple would like nothing more than to see us fall out with each other.some of these rumours have been spread by members of other boards or people pretending to be them.just be on your guard to this sort of activity and help us by not passing on unfounded accusations.thank you.

ah!

yes, that remark made by pilate after pilate had asked jesus wether he was a king.

( john 18:37-38 ).. how would you answer the question according to what we know from the bibles definition, and how the faithful and discreet slave have endeavored to give us spiritual food at the proper time?.

Forum plans and policy

in case anyone is wondering about our registration policy:.

i don't intend to turn people away who want to register and post or make ultra-strict registration procedures because i honestly don't think that they work.

if i were to ask for names of congregations or presiding overseers then i have no real way of checking if they are correct.
