  The "generation" cover-up continues

  by proplog2 in

  well, the new "generation" light has finally been released in print.

  this is important because it the centerpiece of their whole orientation.. it is still a disjointed coverup of why they have this doctrine in the first place.

  christ didn't come in 1874 or 1914. .

  my research into antient hebrews mingling thier blood during covenant......

  by grewupJWnoselfesteem78-95 in

  in this book, the miriclle of the scarlet thread, richard booker outlines the steps ancient hebrews typically followed in making a covenant: ......they exchanged robes.......they exchanged belts.....cut the convenant.......raised the right hand..........mingled their blood.......exchanged names.....made a scar.....stated the convenant terms.........ate the memorial meal......and planted a tree.

  the covenant partners raised their right arms, cut their palms and intermingled their blood, while swearing allegiance to each other.

  blood represents life; the intermingling represent two lives becoming one.

  41 Theses on Blood: My "best of" questions/arguments on JW Blood Ban

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  on the earth you should pour it out as water.. from these verses it is clear that there is an old testament prohibition against eating blood.

  if not, why do you think it is sacred?

  so whenever a person took the life of an animal, they were to drain the blood and not drink it because the blood represents the life and not theirs to take without god's permission.

  ATTENTION: 587/607 Buffs..

  by deaconbluez in

  how would you answer this:.

  "it's simple: we know there was a 70-year exile, and that that the jews returned in 537bce.

  so 537bce minus 70 years equals 607bce!

  Song Lyrics That Remind You Of The Watchtower

  by Arthur in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was listening to a song today by rush.

  i had heard the song a few times before, but today i really listened closely to the lyrics.

  i read the lyrics off of the cd jacket and the words remind me so much of how i felt in the watchtower organization - never being allowed to ask serious questions or raise any kinds of objections to organizational practices.

  Sexual Morality In The Old Testament Differs From That In The New Testament

  by AlanF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  conservative christians like the jehovah's witnesses often claim that, like the new testament, the old testament forbids all sexual relations outside marriage, including relations between unmarried people.

  that is not quite true.

  to see that patriarchal and israelite culture adhered to a different standard, we must first understand just how the old testament treats marriage, sexuality and related items.. the old testament view of women as property.

  The NWT of John 1:1; Some Questions For Leolaia and Narkissos

  by FireNBandits in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  to get right to the point, acts 12:22 and 28:6 both contain an anarthrous occurence of "theos" or a derivative, depending on one's textual base.

  in both instances these verses are rightfully rendered "a god" and not "god.

  " why, then, the mainstream christian problem with the same anarthrous construction in john 1:1 being translated in the nwt as "the word was a god"?
