  1961 blood, medicine and the law of god--pdf--by request!

  request from researcher: on this thread, http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/16/165965/1.ashx jwfacts listed a booklet called,"blood,medicine and the law of god, which you provided a scan of page 38. isn't that the booklet that says that "insanity" can be transmitted through a blood transfusion?

  if so, can i grab a copy of that booklet?

  Do you remember the past, or do you live in it?

  "all we have is now, the past has gone, the future hasn't happened yet" my favorite .

  very apt as well.

  All we have is this present moment, the now.
  The past, as I look back to it, is sweet. Plainly that means I'm getting older and sentimental. Each person is a product of their past making them who they are right now.
  Our future is unknown and we move forward into it each second. One hour ago is the past and we are unable to return.
  
  Time is a strange thing, like we are multi-dimensional beings.

  From memory I think they do still teach this that Jesus is the first horseman riding the White horse (Rev 6:2) followed by the 4 horsemen.
  Also Rev 19:11 'the faithful and true' one and the same first on the White horse but this time followed by an army.
  
  According to them it's the same horse and same rider only having different duties. That's all I recall.

  the selection of the society in 1919 as the faithful and discreet slave after jesus spent nearly 5 years observing them.

  jesus must have had some good lsd.

  What JW teaching did you find hardest to defend??

  by karter in

  for me it was that god is killing billions of people just to prove a point.

  what about you?

  Shunning has been mentioned here and it made me think that a person given the boot from the cong would feel so bad when a former sis/bro crossed the road to avoid, turned around and walked out of a room/shop wherever, no funeral attendance...and generally considered as dead.
  
  The loving thing to do would be to strive to get the person 'back into the fold' so to speak just as Jesus would.

  i find such things fascinating.

  feel free to share anything you care to.. as an example, i am sharing some information i found for the number 40:.

  40 = 4 = humanity's movement through time to completion, closure.

  It's said that life begins at 40.
  
  There is no end to numbers - they go on to infinity like God.
