  were you offended by the teaching that jesus is not the mediator of for you, but only the 144,000?

  1 tim.

  2 vs 5,6 states that "there is one mediator between god and men, a man, christ jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all".

  That we are to "abstain from blood" but can take it in bits and pieces.

  That animals won't eat each other, but somehow the earth won't be overrun by these animals and nature will remain in balance.

  THE WAY IN IS THE WAY OUT

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i got in officially in november of 1963 when i was baptised at the cleburne, texas assembly.

  judicial committee cut me loose.. the way in consisted of having jehovah's witnesses demonstrate to me that there was considerable false information and hypocricy in christendom.

  i lost confidence in what i had been told, taught and believed.. today, i believe that is also the way out of jehovah's witnesses!.

  2. friends

  our friend hambeak just got the most dreaded phone call from his jw child.

  the news was passed on as he was asked for by name and not as"dad" and let known that "they" just called to let him know that his other son, brian, age 26, is dead.

  he was in a car accident.

  Blood fractions insert covered in tonight's service meeting

  by becca1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those still "in", how did this part go over in your congregation?

  we actually had a brother raise his hand and comment that he could not explain to a doctor why we allow fractions and obey the command of levitucus to pour blood out on the ground.

  i wonder how many others felt the same but did not have the never to comment openly?

  You're probably right Blondie. My dad (an 83 year old elder) says he won't accept any fractions. However, he won't openly agree with me that the whole concept is ridiculous. He can exercise his own conscience in the matter but can't bring himself to admit the Society is wrong.

  How Jw's will begin to 'accept' blood doctrinally.

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  once upon a time, blood in any form was rejected by jw's.

  then, over time, they morphed the policies to allow some 'fractions' or blood.

  this allowed witnesses to get immunizations, treatments for hemophilia, etc.. in the past few years now, the policy is allowing greater 'definition' of 'fractions' - to the point where even bovine rbc's, altered to be called a 'fraction' now, due to processing the hemoglobin from the cells, for use.

  Jeff: I just got back form the service meeting and was telling my husband that I felt the Society would soon find a way to say the "new light"is that to abstain from blood we must not eat or drink it, any other use is a conscience matter. Then I logged on to JWD and read this post. I agree completly with your point of view, this fraction thing is just to get people used to the idea of taking blood so they won't freak out when the ban is totally lifted.
