  TO CLARIFY A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT MY PROJECT.....

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first of all, i want to thank everyone for all the words of encouragment and compliments i've received regarding the project i put together.

  not only will it (hopefully) help some family members to see that something's not right regarding many of the wt's doctrines, but it was therapeutic for me to do as well.

  like many other ex-witnesses, i was emotionally devastated and extremely angry when i discovered that this religion was not "the truth" as was drilled into our brains from day one.

  and since dubs can't vote......don't have to be concerned about their input! (unless they live in a land where required by law)

  BLOOD FRACTIONS - what if all JWs knew they are a Matter of Conscience???

  by insearchoftruth in

  if each and every jw were to accept fractions as a matter of conscience, how many of the senseless deaths could be prevented.. .

  i have no idea on what is normally given to a person in a transfusion, but from some of the reading i have done, whole blood transfusions, which are strictly forbidden, are very rare.

  really how dangerous is the current blood policy...if all jehovahs witnesses were made aware of what is actually allowed and accepted the fractions allowed?

  Defence of watchtower society Links

  by reniaa in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought long and hard before making this thread, that many will not agree with it but i think there needs to be balance and people to realise there are alternate viewpoints out there on many of these subjects, the ones that are most spoke about on this forum.

  i was recently sent a full message containing mary's book and these links give the rebuttal to many of her points.

  those that are still open-minded enough feel free to look over them even if in the end you still don't agree at least you have heard both the defence as well as the attack as they are on the internet.

  I thought there were a few Awake articles that were pretty specific when pointing to 1975....

  I have the text, but a scan is so much more convincing!

  *** Awake! 1969 May 22 p.15 ***
  If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. Of the generation that observed the beginning of the 'last days' in 1914, Jesus foretold: 'This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.' Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way towards its finish, if not actually gone! This is why parents who base their lives on God's prophetic Word find it much more practical to direct their young ones into trades that do not require such long periods of additional schooling… True, those who do not understand where we are in the stream of time from God's viewpoint will call this impractical. But which is really practical: preparing yourself for a position in this world that soon will pass away? or working toward surviving this system's end and enjoying eternal life in God's righteous new order?

  Which religion has the date right? (if you can tell me this I will drop any ideas of following JW's quicker than greased lightning and join them!)

  No one knows the time.........so no one knows......and those who think they know, or have professed to have known, incorrectly in the past, are not only fooling themselves, but fall in the category of being a false prophet!!!
