  Why do the scan of all publications? To find "gems" like these

  from a very obscure tract called "the broadcaster", july 13, 1925:.

  Jehovahs Witnesses had two different dates for the end of 6000 years of humans on earth and the beginning of the seventh 1000 year rule ,

  Each creative day being only 7000 years long....Not to be confused with how old the Universe is

  Genesis 1:1 The creation of the Universe. Millions of years ago.... Genesis 1:2 When God turns his attention to poulating the Earth with humans just over 6000 years ago ....according to JW theology

  Do they still talk about humans only being on earth for just over 6000 years ? or is that another one of their beliefs that gets brushed under the carpet never to be spoken about again.

  A JW explains Blood Fractions

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i was looking around from some information on the wt's stance concerning the use of stem cells, and i came across this article on a defending jehovah's witnesses blog.. rather than informing the reader all that much about stem cells, the author diverts the conversation into a discussion of "blood fractions" (*note: the term "blood fractions" appears to be another one of those wt bloodspeak terms coined by the wt.

  "blood components" or "blood products" are the terms used more frequently by the medical world.

  "fractions" implies tiny amounts).

  Doesnt the Bible say words to the effect that :

  "blood is not to be stored and that it is to be poured out on the ground " ?

  Doesnt that rule out collecting blood ,processing it in a laboratory into fractions ,then storing it again to be used at some later date by a Jehovahs Witness who refuses Blood products ?

  Just asking.

  Funeral plan ?

  to all you young and old alike what would you have as a farewell party from this earth , would you party with friends months before or would you go out quietly and rather have input into the wake.

  i have heard of these duck hunters who put their ashes in shotgun shells.

  I just hope I have some useful organs left that get donated to somebody who can benefit from them, as for anything else I dont give a shit ,because I`ll be dead.

  At least I`m happy in the thought that if my life has never meant anything to anybody ,then hopefuly my death will mean something to somebody.

  When Solar panels were first introduced here in Australia their seemed to be big benefits to those who took advantage of them ,however I dont think the same advantages apply today.

  Some saying it will take them another ten years before they recieve any benefits from going Solar .

  And we all know how revolving Govts. change things ,how can householders trust anything they say.
