I heard a kingdom song as used at JFK's funeral (music only) and that song was taken out of the 1966 songbook, but was put back in the later edition. Wish i remember the title.

Are Blood Tranfusions as dangerous and risky and the WTS claim?

by Fisherman in

in and old post by marvin, he provides a link to a wts response to blood treatment.

the wts society spokeman writes that blood transfusions may cause immunological disorders.

since modern medicine gave out thousands of infected blood transfusions in the past causing death and ravaging disease such as aids and incurable and horrible hepatitis to mention some, there is reason for concern.. how safe and effective is blood treatment today?

Well. Lorin Greene, Amanda Blake and Pope John xxiiv all died from bts, but they were all years ago

First are you looking for a business to AT HOME or FROM HOME, from home has alot more opportunities. If you good at sales, commissioned selling is good. I sell promotional products to businesses. Pens , mugs, caps and t-shirts all having the business aqdvertising on them. Since I'm freelance I can off if I need to. I get paid weekly for the orders I send in. I don't have to buy anything, or use any capital. The downside is most businesses are open 9-5 weekdays.

How long did take to feel comfortable in a church?

after years of being told clergymen are shysters, it took over a year before a relaxed and quit worrying 'bout "babylon the great"

Moshe,

I didn't have a problem with being accepted, I just noticed their favorite scriptures were not the same ones as wts. What I'm not used to is alive band playing music for half the service, flag waving, raising arms instead of bowing heads,hearing 'preach it brother' during sermons, or people passing out during an 'alter call'.

The biggest difference, wts taught you may survive the big A, or be resurrected if you did enough service. This teaches God doesn't realy want anyone to be destroyed, but I'm still not into the 'rapture thing'.

Who denied holidays first - WWCOG or JW's?

by AK - Jeff in

another thread indicated that wwcog had been ahead of jw's in saying that holidays were 'verbotten' - and that the wts then picked up on the cue as additional ammunition to keep witnesses under control and 'seperate from the world'.. can this be confirmed with dates/times ?

I've many jws say "the WWCOG was the closest other domination to the truth" . Many said they didn't want to join it because of the tithing, food restrictions and Saturday sabbath.

i saw a show on discovery channel saying that maybe three beams were used, two in the ground notched for a crossbar to rest on top.

if this is true, then it would resemble a doorpost (like passover?

) rather than a t
