  Rev. 14 :19-20 just goes to prove that Jehovah is a blood thirsty God , doesn`t it .

  He wasn`t satisfied with Cains sacrifice of the first grain of the harvest , no , he approved Abels blood sacrifice .killing one of his animal creations . { Isn`t their something wrong with that picture ? }

  Thousands , no , I think millions of animals and birds were sacrificed as blood offerings to appease the Almighty Jehovah God in the first 4000 years till Jesus Christ.

  On the one hand he makes laws protecting the safeguard of animals under the Mosaic Law , then on the other hand he has them slaughtered as a blood offering to himself .

  Does his right hand know what his left hand is doing ?

  I remember this talk , however looking back now ,

  1 . This is the second time JW`s set a date for the end of 6000 years of human history .The first time they said 6000 years of human history ended was towards the end of the 1800`s

  2 . Jesus Christ was King of the Jews at his crucifiction .

  Jesus Christ was enthroned as King invisibly in 1914 .

  This video suggests that Jesus Christ would start his Kingdom rule of a thousand years after / during the expected happenings of 1975

  3 . Do Jehovah`s Witnesses even have a clear understanding of what this all means ?

  4 . Jesus was a King in name only in 33 C.E.

  5. Jesus is a King in name only in 1914

  6 . Jesus is still waiting for his Kingship of a thousand years to begin ? !

  How the Revised, Revised NWT COULD Look Online....

  2. beliefs

  there must be an abundance of scriptures just waiting to be reworded by the magnificent seven in brooklyn.

  here are a few i'd offer.

  i'd love to hear suggestions for other "revisions" by my fellow contributors here.. (psalm 110:4) "jehovah has sworn an oath, and he will not change his mind: "you are a priest forever in the manner of melchizedek, but you will be joined by another 144,000 melchizedek-type king/priests.

  it seems like it's taking forever to hear any updates related irwin zalkin's child abuse case in ca, as well as australia royal commission updates.

  trey bundy hasn't been writing any articles re: jw's recently either.

  i worry that he may have lost interest in our cause.

  Recent adverts in the Australian newspapers are still seeking people who want to submit their stories / experiences to the ARC which I think closes at the end of September this year.

  My understanding is that you wont hear the final report until at least the middle of 2017

  The definition of insanity!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a famous and very smart man once said:.

  "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" (albert einstein).

  by that definition then, is the society or are witnesses in general insane?

  Insanity is too nice a word to use for the Governing Body members.

  An insane person has no control over their situation , it`s beyond their control .

  The Governing Body members however know exactly what they are doing , they are evil charlatans to put it mildly.

  "Jehovah’s Witnesses, Blood Transfusions, and the Tort of Misrepresentation " - Louderback-Wood

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  kelly louderback-wood has been discussed on a few threads on this forum, and i am not sure if a link to this essay has been posted before.

  regardless...this is a valuable essay that helps a person wade through the misrepresentations that the wt publishes concerning their noblood stance.. jehovah’s witnesses, blood transfusions, and the tort of misrepresentation (download pdf).

  the society’s main resource regarding its blood policy, “how can blood save your life?” (“pamphlet”), teaches both witnesses and interested persons about the religion’s blood prohibition.

  Look at the KI translation they made , word for word Greek into English.

  "The word was in the beginning and God was the word " or there abouts but their was no indefinite article "a"
