  It never ceases to amaze me why they have to continually revise the Bible whether it be in Braille or otherwise .

  Maybe after a couple of Century`s or so , but not every couple of years.

  How much free time and labour and materials went into refurbishing this building that the R&F thought was to honour Jehovah and is now being sold off to profit the Governing Body`s Real Estate Empire..

  I`ll bet those who slaved over all those hours for Jehovah never saw this coming .( and apparently Jehovah never saw it coming either )

  And as was brought out in a previous post ,purchased in 1975 ? by the WTB&TS !!, the mind boggles.

  Died Due To Refusing Blood Transfusion

  by rrb2016 in

  well, last monday my mother, a jehovah's witness since her baptism in 1968 died last week because she would not accept a blood transfusion.

  she was 76 and had lung and skin cancer.

  i know that the cancer would have gotten her anyway, but she was bleeding internally, and was told that she needs a blood transfusion, as her blood count went all the way down to 3.2 (should be 12-14.

  It makes you wonder why Jehovah`s Witnesses accept the Bible Cannon used by Protestants .( Apostates)

  or for that matter why they accept the name of GOD Jehovah coined by Apostate Christendom .

  One of their excuses for using that name was because it was universally accepted in Christendom (Apostates)

  Was Jesus really a Jehovah`s Witness ? He never identified himself as such , in word or deed.

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  also he never chastised the jews for not identifying themselves as jehovah`s witnesses following isaiah`s statement at ch.43 :10-12 , so many years before hand.. and he had ample opportunity to do so on numerous occasions .. jesus himself never used the divine name /jehovah or any other equivalent , in any of his sayings attributed to him by his contemporaries .. sure he acknowledged god as his father and that he did his fathers will , but he never acknowledged him by a personal name such as jehovah or anything like it.. and lets not forget acts 11:26 it was first in antioch that followers of jesus by divine providence were to be called christians , not jehovah`s witnesses,.

  Sure he acknowledged GOD as his father and that he did his fathers will , but he never acknowledged him by a personal name such as Jehovah or anything like it.
