  New Information On Blood?

  by EmptyInside in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've overheard from a couple of elders,that they are going to be getting some new information on the blood issue.

  now,i understand in the witness world,this could all be much ado about nothing.

  but, does anyone know what this info could be?.

  I thought that LEGALLY, the "no blood" issue is one of conscience?

  
  
  

  IN other words, the WTBTS does not MANDATE the JW not get an blood transfusions but leave sit up to the individual to decide, isn't that the OFFICIAL position?

  
  
  
  Yes, PSacramento is correct, it is a "conscience matter." If a JW accepts a transfusion, they automatically disassociate themselves, and will be treated as disfellowshipped. Essentially, they remove themselves from the congregation voluntarily and will be punished. Sit in the back, attend all meetings, etc. and be shunned by family/friends until the elders decide they can have their "privileges" back.
  
  What's so heartless about this "arrangement", is that when you need the love and support of family/friends the most — during a life-threatening situation — your choice is DEATH physically, spiritually, sometimes both.
  
  The Witnesses shoot their wounded, then kick them around when they're down for good measure. How Christlike! (Not.)

  had there been theistic/atheistic debates 1300 years ago, my relatives might have heard this definite argument for the thundergod thor:.

  without thor there can be no lightning.lightning exist.therefore thor exist.

  qed.the atheist in that time would properly have gone after #1. i imagine the theist would have said:.

  What the heck is that song on the radio (soundtrack movie I think)

  by mamalove in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i keep hearing this song on the radio, top 40's type of station.

  i think it is a song from a new movie soundtrack, either "the dilemma" or "just go with it" or "no strings attached.

  " i heard it when i was in the other room when the tv was on, and it was one of those movie trailers i think....let's hope i am not going batty here.. the song is done by an african american singer i believe, and it has that 70's funk, stevie wonder type of sound/vibe to it.
