  Thanks for checking. Is there a CD with "Aid...." on it?

  Also, does anyone have the full quotes for these?:

  - "What is the view of Jehovah's Witnesses toward interracial marriage?" "A
  Christian, being realistic, must face life as it is--not as he wishes it might
  be." ("The Watchtower," Dec.1, 1973, pp.755,776) (Probably against racism yet
  instructing followers to go with the status quo socially.)

  - "Insight on the Scriptures": the listing for "Idols, meats offered to."
  (The interpretation given is that the meats or things have an idolatrous conno-
  tation when near the idol temple but not farther away from it. In other JWs
  leaders' literature, this is given as the reasoning used to allow blood frac-
  tions: they're far enough away from whole blood that they're acceptable.)

  Awake= "Playstation Games like playing with Radioactive waste!!"

  awake 2008 jan.p.19 "choosing to play violent and immoral games is like choosing to play with radioactive waste.

  the damaging effects may not be immediatley obvious, but they are inevitable.

  exposure in high doses of radiation can destroy the lining of the stomach and allow bacteria from the intestines to invade the bloodstream, resulting in sickness.

  Causing unnecessary harm (dividing people) or death (in Germany, Malawi, and
  hospitals) by playing prophet is a violent and immoral game.

  NEW SCROLLS ANNOUNCED

  by tula in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so that this will be no surprise to you, and so you will not be swayed in your firm stand of holy spirit truth, i give you this.. .

  in the coming months expect to hear this in the kh and the mags..... "for those of you who have heard of the association of the wts and the un and have patiently and faithfully waited on jehovah, we can now tell you our reasons for doing this.

  it has all been under the direction of the fds.. this library card was necessary because..... there are very old manuscripts that have never been deciphered and they have been housed within that library.. through much prayer and careful consideration, jah directed for our team of translators, which are the best and most accurate in the world, to be a part of this great uncovering of the new scrolls.".

  They had El and YHWH. They'd ask the loyal devoted if they believed in
  God, and they'd say, "El, yeah." The more enthusiastic would say, "El, yeah--
  woah!" Sorry.

  Sorry to double post. I tried to edit and couldn't--the editing page said I
  could only edit within 30 min., which it was, because the post was made 5 hours
  ago (?).

  This is the Ebay link I referred to:

  Blood, from "The Atonement" by Leon Morris

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in previous threads related to blood, i have noted that on my web site, i make available the definitive work, the meaning of the word blood in scripture, by stibbs (at: http://au.geocities.com/doug_mason1940/the_meaning_of__blood_.pdf ) and also selected pages from the apostolic preaching of the cross by leon morris (at: http://au.geocities.com/doug_mason1940/apostolic_preaching_of_the_cross.pdf ).. in the preface to his later book the atonement: its meaning and significance, leon morris wrote:.

  this book is written out of the conviction that the cross is at the heart of the christian way.

  this is the way of salvation and it is the way of christian living.

  Thanks for the research.

  (Malik--he means the cross Paul boasted in (Gal.6:14), meaning what Jesus
  accomplished on it, and belief in which is central to Christianity. He didn't
  mean to deny the meaning of the other verses any more than Paul did.)

  Acts 15:19,20,28,29 what does it really mean?

  by beginnersmind in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i'm not completely sold on these verses at acts 15:19,20,28,29 meaning it was just to keep harmony with jews and gentiles.

  i can see that meaning in those verses but also another one.

  to me that can mean that they arent going to add circumcision to the list of burdens or necessary things and those things listed in v29 are burdens not simply some things to keep harmony.
