smiddy

I saw this movie when I was new to the religion early `60`s not that I can remember much about it today .

Another movie about that time starred Dennis Weaver and the blood doctrine , though if I remember correctly they did not say JW`s.

How about you guys check out Dicte a danish production that is current for today, I`m into the second series about a woman who was brought up as a JW and kicked out of her home when she was sixteen by her Jehovah`s Witness parents and has been shunned ever since .

Go the Danes

Is proselytizing less condescending when evolutionists do it?

by paul from cleveland in

is it just me?

smiddy

My 2 cents worth , OK ?

To me , proselytizing is something religions do to promote their faith without giving any , concrete / substantial / verifiable evidence to back up there claims except to say you must have faith in their belief , whatever it may be,

Thousands upon thousands of religions that exist today , fall into that category without exception.

Evolutionists , and if I might take poetic license here , cofty , as this poster seems to have taken exception to , is quoting , or referencing to verifiable learned people in their field of expertise that corroborates proven scientific methods in many fields to support evolution as a fact .

Religion , faith , belief ,all fail dismally in providing any verifiable facts .

So in short , evolutionists do not proselytize , they present verifiable facts . Religion does not.

makemeanunbeliever ,

You know you are disobeying the GB by posting on this board , and that , disobeying the GB , is a DF offence .

So please , keep posting here

, You may eventually learn the real truth about the JW cult religion , who are not just satisfied with the shed blood of Jesus as a sacrifice , no , they want the rank & file to shed there blood also with their ludicrous blood ban , causing deaths to young and old over decades.

Evolution is a Fact #7 - Human Egg Yolk Gene

by cofty in

exploring the human genome is like roaming around an historic town.

some places are pristine and obviously still in everyday use.

others have been unused for a while and starting to show signs of decay and if you look carefully there are relics of buildings that were abandoned long ago.. in this post we are going to look at a gene that we still carry in every cell in our body but which fell into disuse 10s of millions of years ago.. humans are placental mammals.

Witnesses killed my friend today.

by WasOnceBlind in

today has been a horrible day.

what began as a day of joy finding out that one of my lifelong friends had her baby, turned into a nightmare when her brother called me to let me know she had passed away after birth.

i was in shock and didn't ask how.

smiddy

The doublespeak of the GB of Jehovah`s Witnesses :

On the one hand they demand absolute obedience to them , even if you don`t understand the reason for doing so.

On the other hand they try to absolve themselves of any responsibility for any adverse effects caused to anyone who obeys them , by claiming they are volunteers who must take responsibility for there own actions.

The GB should be held responsible for all deaths resulting from the blood policy.

So sad my friend.

I'm A Pacifist but My God Wasn't!

were is the sense...to this?.

i wouldn't go to war...i was a conscientious objector in viet nam.

i couldn't even get into a fight at school without getting into trouble.. yet my god...jehovah was is a jealous god an angry god....a god who when he got pissed off could destroy a whole planet...remember the flood....(the bible said he felt bad afterwards)...that was nice.. now he is getting ready to do it again....7 billion people worth....and why?.

smiddy

Landy your right

J.W.`s have never claimed to be pacifists , because they believe in the War of the great Day of God Almighty of Armageddon .

That is a war they look forward to and even pray for , the sooner it comes the sooner they can enjoy peace in a paradise on earth .

They themselves have no part in it because it`s the Angels of God who are to bring on this destruction they pray for and not humans on earth .

However it still means every Jehovah`s Witness prays for the destruction of 8 Billion people , man ,woman, and child , who is not a Jehovah`s Witness

Jehovah has killed far more people than Satan ever did , and he promises to kill even more.

And he does`nt` confide in us at all .

Why is Jehovah ,Allah , the Eternal ,the Almighty , or whoever you want to call him such a recluse ?

Why is he in hiding ? Doing everything , or nothing , behind closed doors ?

And don`t give me that crap , we are imperfect and he can`t communicate with us .

He has had no problem meeting and conversing with Satan the Devil for thousands of years .

Even Jesus had no problem conversing with Satan the Devil during his ministry.

But God talking to humans , being up front with what he wants us to do ? Being transparent , with his door to communication always open , is obviously not one of his strong points .

After 2,000 years of atrocities in his name , he is still silent , with nothing to say.

If YOU had to make the decision, would you respect a JW relatives wish to refuse a blood transfusion?

by nicolaou in

a few years after i quit the meetings my mum needed her medical directive signed and witnessed and she asked if i'd do it.

i was surprised to say the least!.

i think she was just angling to include me and maybe find some lever to get me involved again.

smiddy

I look at it this way:

If you honestly believe the J.W.`s are wrong in there interpretation ,why would you respect a relatives decision to refuse blood.? Wouldn`t that amount to helping one commit suicide ? Needlesly ending one`s own life?

Many Jehovah`s Witnesses have rationalized taking there own life , would you assist them in some way to achieve that aim ? Supply the gun , the bullets , the rope , drop them off at a bridge ? etc.

The parents and Elders that assisted those many children shown on the front cover of the 1994 AWAKE magazine , Youths Who Gave Their Life , by refusing blood surgery ,should have been charged with Child Abuse causing death .

Children do not have the right or mental capacity or life experience to make such a life or death decision.
