Well, it sounds like you should go and slap your Momma! Making you eat blood, tisk, tisk. I'd slap mine but she died over the whole blood thing. I think about it now and wish I just told the doctors to go ahead.

Blood - things the Society didn't ban?
by unique1 inok, crumpets post on the lid of life thread got me thinking.
when i was a kid and got a cut on my finger my mother would always tell me to suck it.
which meant i was sucking my own blood, which meant i was eating blood, which meant i was defiling god.

Why not baptize at the kingdom hall?
by Mysterious inlots of churches baptize those willing right at the church why do you think the jws don't do the same?
would it be too "discouraging" in congregations where there were no new ones baptized for a long time.
maybe they are trying for a bandwagon effect?

"In a few more years, baptizmal candidates will be required to walk many miles as another show of dedication to the WTS. Only kidding, but why not?"
LOL, with a cross strapped to your back no less!

For one thing that is your blood. I have been gone for a long time, do you know how they feel about storing your own blood for surgery later?

I basically go with this stance. You could argue that the Tanakh (hebrew bible) and the old testament are two differant books. Moses ect. did not write two bibles and I doubt any god would inspire two, that is why I don't believe in the bible, the whole of christianity is dependant on the hebrew bible or what became the old testament. Without prophecy, jesus becomes another heretic, with prophecy JW's becomes an death wish(more later). There is some scripture where messiah (I think Jeremiah, sorry:)) is in the old testament but, not in the tanakh. They (christianity) just changed it and added to match up with the new testament. When they were picking out what to use in the ''new'' bible, they basically started an new religion at the expense of another. Take some parts that sound like a prophecy, introduce an messiah and take over the world! It does not matter what JW's have done with translation, what matters is what you are translating. Basically jesus did not fulfill the requiremants of the messiah. Just to give you some backstory, there is something called the two messiahs ( think second coming, enthroned, ect), the first would be Jesus ending sin by giving his life for all. The second would be the glorius messiah, killing the wicked, ending death ect. If Jesus was both and ascended the throne in 1914, why has'nt he done anything. Oh yeah, the generation. Well that generation is getting damn old. If you were born in 1914, you would be 93, 10 yrs. old in 1914, 103, 15, 108. They have moved the date up several times, < biggie, see below! No one born in 1890 or so, or earlier is alive. Oh and blood, they are divinely inspired yet can't reach an concensus on blood. Divorce, not allowed, then allowed. Any of these changes are biggies, they lead to this
Deuteronomy 18:20-22.
"But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death."
- "You may say to yourselves, 'How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?' If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him" (Deuteronomy 18:20-22 NIV).
- Long story, short: They claim to be divinely inspired, yet are not. End of story.
Except!:) For the whole bible, I'll save that for later. For now just quit, disassociate yourself and also put in writing not to contact you and anyone contacting you will be subject to criminal harassment charges.

So tell me smellsgood. Will Jesus destroy the Jehovah's Witnesses when he knows they worship him the way they do because they THINK they are doing it right? Will he kill all who are misled? Even the Muslims? They think your the one who's gonna die ya know....and they believe as strongly as you do? Your not gonna tell me your not the judge are ya now cuz I'm almost positive you believe the witnesses are goin down....regardless of how sincere they are.
Btw.....what's in this for you? Are you preaching to us so as to gain the Lords approval? If you keep silent, will the Lord kill you for keeping quiet? He can't do that, your saved by grace and not by works......can he?
Hey, if I smoke weed....will the Lord kill me when he comes? What if I live with a girl I'm not married to but I believe in Jesus and love him? What if I get drunk like twice a month....but I love Jesus?
Gumby.....who needs to just be calm and take his prozac and to quit playin around
With no jesus, your ?'s are moot.

Interesting place! For whatever reason I have never chosen to search for such an BBS. I don't know how I will fit in. I left 15+ years ago, born and raised, I am 36 now. Some here seem to play the anti-christ roll, while others are playing it safe and still more are almost neutral. I'm a full blown anti-christ, I neither believe in Jehovah or Jesus. I have never been much of a good boy. Became a pioneer at 20 just to find out if god was really choosing them, obviously not! The years after leaving were filled with all sorts of hypocrisy on my part, from beleiving the devil had a hold on me, to screaming fu** you god to the sky. My own experiance may or may not be typical. After my mothers death I found out my "father" had died long before I was born. As she layed on her death bed crying for jehovah to take her, never did I realize that not a week later I would discover her infidelity, her lie. At that time I suddenly knew why my sister was distant, why my grandmother refered to me as "the" boy. I have read several things on here that makes me very sad. For those that believe you are being watched or hunted, LET IT GO! Live your life! Do not for one more instance feel that you are somewhat obligated to keep your eye over your shoulder. Light a cigarette and go blow it in an elders face, while puking Absolut on his shoes. I hope to contribute something here, Me loves the deep subject's. I could go on, thanks for reading my blather.
