Hi all, We've just opened a new website in Holland on the blood issue. It's located at http://www.bloedkwestie.info Currently it's in dutch and english (just click on the english flag) and it's being translated in Spanish too. I would like to call upon anybody who has a website related to JW's to put a link on their page (for English webpages that would be: http://www.bloedkwestie.info/index.php?lang=en). This would help to get it higher in the search engines. The website is in the early stages and more will follow. We've tried to make it as much approachable for JW's as possible. It's not our goal to expose the WTS or to use strong words against them (we think that only will put JW's off), but to provide information and other possible interpretations on the blood issue. So that JW's will be informed about THEIR choices and not only hear one side of the story, that is, the WTS side. Thanks for your interest and all suggestions are very welcome. Greetings, Effe

Well, I'm sorry. Just Googled to some Polish forum and found a link to the brochure. Guess I should have done that first. But for all of you who are interested in it: http://www.angelfire.com/home/cynicus/pdf/CharitablePlanning.pdf Greetings, Effe

BLOOD -- WTS Questions and Sound Answers 12

blood -- wts questions and sound answers 12

Hi Marvin,

Strangulation is a means of killing an animal. The Apostolic Decree to abstain from things strangled was a prohibition of animals killed by strangulation. Strangled animals are typically unbled. Hence eating strangled animals would be contrary to the Noachian Decree.

How do we know this is true? Does "things strangled" is limited to strangulation by humans? Because other people say (i.e. Wrench) that "things strangled" can also refer to animals that died of themselves by drowing, strangulation because of vegetation or somethings like that. Where can we find for certain that "things strangled" means strangulation by a human? Beacuse if that's not the case then what does Paul mean and what are the implications for the notion that the Apostolic Decree is based on the Noachian Law? This is the only thing that can pose a discrepancy in the explanation, imho.

Greetings,
Effe

Hi Marvin,

happy to get in contact with you. I'm curious about the links you posted, but unfortunately they don't seem to work. But I will find that out I guess, I'll just look at the CARM-forum and try to find your posts myself.

There is however one question I have. I read the article "Jehovah's Witnesses and the Apostolic Decree to Abstain From Blood" from the Pathways-site. I thought it was a well written document. But it leaves me with one question. If we assume that the Noachian Law speaks solely about animals killed for food, then what does Paul mean with "things strangled?" What does "things strangled" exactly mean? Bcause when it means a dead animal who died by himself (due to drowning, or something like that), then where does that leave us as regards to the Noachian Law speaking solely about animals killed for food?

Sorry if you already adress this question in your refutation of Wrench' arguments, but I haven't read those yet.

thanks for your help,
Effe

EDIT: Already Found The Threads You Were Referring To, I'll Read Them Tonight. Thank You.

Hello Marvin,

It would be interesting to hear your reply on the following discussion on the Touchstone Forum:

http://www.touchstoneforum.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.pl?az=read_count&om=713&forum=DCForumID2

Is there a muddling of the waters going on or are there sound arguments presented. I lost it to be honest...

Hi You Know,

In the thread "Is the WTS a valse prophet" the following was said:

quote:

YK: I don't believe that for one minute.

And quite rightly you don't YK. I read your postings with great pleasure and realize that your words are sometimes strong, but right. I just wanted to say to you "keep up your good work and be assured that you in no way achieve an opposite affect". That, again, is hollow and probably wishfull thinking of some apostates around this board.

I further will not participate at this board, while I'm already participating on several other boards in Holland, but I will read on this forum and think your postings are spiritualy upbuilding, despite of what all others think or say. Be assured of that!

Greetings from your brother from Holland,
Effe
