Please do your homework for yourself. Number one, Jehovah Witnesses do not have Pastors..so I see you have alot to learn still about he truth in this religion. Please do not listen to people who are misguided or have heard someone else say something and took it for gold. No, Jehovah Witness do not believe in taking blood, but will accept blood alternatives. There are other means of filling out the blood then taking blood. As for Jehovah Witnesses "slowly changing their view on blood", this is not true. They have always stood for the same things..it's just in the last 20 years or so, technology has offered a way around taking blood bi-products, so we opt for that choice if it is available. Jehovah Witnesses are not the only people that not believe in taking blood. There are many people out there that believe the same thing and are not witnesses. As far as that man dying by not receiving blood. He was following what the Bible and GOD teaches. I don't recall Jesus crying about dying when he gave up his life for us as GOD asked him to do, think about it. Most likely in this system of things most of us will die. The question is would you rather die with the knowledge that you followed GOD's practices and have a hope of ever-lasting life or die knowing that you didn't? The choice is yours.

Why?
by rocket7001 ini am thinking about becoming a jehovas witness.
i saw on this one show where two jws got in a car accident and needed blood but wouldn't take it.
a jw pastor, i think got up and said that our creator would be greatly offended by this practice.

You are going about this all wrong. I am thinking you two are under 18, right? Look, when I was growing
up, I didn't like be in my household either. Now that I am older I am so thankful for the way I was
raised. If you believe that you are so in love, try doing something right for a change. Running away
is NOT the answer. Has young adults you can not appreciate what your parents are doing or not
doing for you, it's not until you get older that you understand. Her parents are only doing what they
are suppose to do "protect their daughter from something that might harm her". That saying you were
harm her, but you too are young, you can even move out and take care of yourselves.. what if
she get pregnate? Babies are EXPENSE!! Believe me I know. How about going to her home and sitting
down talking to her parents. Tell them how you two feel, then respect them as parents. If you really
want to spend some time with her, how about asking to attend some meetings with the family, maybe
having a bible study with them to learn why they do the things they do. You two need to slow down
a little. Life is not that fast. Get to know her family better and get to know each other better.
Build stronger ground. It will work out, if you do it correctly. -

When is sex acceptable
by stephenw20 incan anyone comment on this.
it appears that in our universe we have differing rules pertaining to sex being acceptable or not.. when you married , you are suppose to only have sex with your spouse.. if you are not married or have never been in a committed realtionship, it seems at a certain stage of ones life, it is either understandable or acceptable to just have or maintain a relationship that has nothing to do with anything but sex, or the closeness of another human being.. perhaps there were failed relationships that someone does not want to indulge in again , but still want to feel close to another person for a limited amount of time.. i am finding this to be acceptable not just among males but females as well in the 30-40 age range.
we humans are a strange breed.. comments are appreciated.. ps i am quite familiar with the biblical texts... i would rather not go there on this thread/

I too am single and have a daugther.. let me just say that when considering causal sex, committed relationship
sex or any other type of sex outside of marriage you need to think of the outcome. After raising my
daugther alone for 3 years, I have finally learned that Jehovah made that rule for a reason.
Don't get me wrong, there are times I pray really hard for a suitable compaion. But, when I start desiring
sex too much, I get up and do something else. Be very careful out there. This world is a true mess.
You can get things you don't really want from death(AIDS) all the way down to a broken heart just
for a few hours of fun.
