Spectromize, I am afraid you hit the nail on the head when you said....."If we really do have the truth we should welcome scrutiny without fear" Then maybe someone can tell me why scrutiny is not welcome, and i see fear?

The Holy Spirit
by Frenchy inokay, i'm interested in what everybody thinks on this.
i believe that for the most parts all religions start off with a good motive, i.e., to provide a forum that will help people to serve god.
(basically).

Spectrom, I may be wrong, however, I dont think Frenchy is saying that we cant understand without them, i think is is questioning this kind of thinking,I happen also to think anyone can understand the deep things of the binle, anybody saying you cant is trying to control. in my opinion.

Here are the lyrics to one of my fav Floyd songs,
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom
blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger
you legend, you martyr, and shine!You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter
you piper, you prisoner, and shine! -

Frenchy, that poem is absolutely beautiful, made me a bit teary eyed. And seven, that also is one of my favorite poems. Pink Floyd lyrics are quite profound to me. Any floyd fans?

Blood Fraction
by claudia inok 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.

claudia
Frenchy, i thank you for your time in responding. you make alot of sense. And something else to think about, it is not ok to reinsert your own blood back into your body, but ok to take others blood in the form of fractions? i would feel much better even medically reinserting my own blood. and cant someone get disease from certain blood fractions?

Martini, I feel the same way you do, I have no answers it seems. I think just knowing there are others who feel the same way is theraputic. Neutral jehovahs witness=jumbo shrimp. lol

What's Sacred, what's not?
by Frenchy inlet's put forth a question here that should provoke some interesting responses.
please feel free to give your thoughts on the matter inasmuch as that is the purpose of these boards.
we (jehovah's witnesses) do not accept blood transfusions on the principle that 'blood is sacred'.

claudia
Yes, it is a difficult subject. I have posted about this before, its selfish to take blood from the blood banks, but not allowed to give to it. This does not make sense nomatter how hard i pray.
