yesterday i called a family on the west coast that were in my congregation 18 years ago.

between parents, kids and marriage partners, there were six of them who had been witnesses.

they have all faded, and have had nothing to do with the witnesses for at least 15 year or more.. yet, none of them is in any way active even in looking at the ex-jw sites online.

Question: Why was it ok to sell unbled meat to a foriegner for them to eat?
by Lady Liberty in
1. watchtower
2. bible
hello all... ok, i have a question for any takers: deuteronomy 14:21 says this:.

21 "you must not eat any body [already] dead.

so, it is obvious that this is why they could not eat a animal that they found that had died, say from natural causes.

speaking with a hardline friend (oxymoron alert) tonight he used the above verse as proof that jehovah needs a hierarchical organization - otherwise why stratify the membership?

any refutation?

cheers .

Romans 14 describes law on blood as "conscience matter"?
by M.J. in
1. watchtower
2. medical
romans 14 shows that some jewish christians in rome abstained from meat, while others did not.

apparently there was a bit of a tussle between the two camps.

now the big question is why exactly did some feel they needed to abstain from meat?.

The Nine Resurrections!
by Blueblades in
1. jw
2. friends
did the nine resurrections reported in the new testament really happen?

if so, why is there nothing said about them other than that they were resurrected?what about their life after they were resurrected?

wouldn't it be a strong witness that jesus could bring the dead back to life?.
