  Interesting that the JW's use the "safety" argument when discussing the benefits of bloodless medicine...safety was never the reason for the JW blood stance, it was rather based on obeying God's law on the sanctity of blood. I guess you can take an unrelated bit of information and "Bend it like Beckham" to make your point!

  by Perry in

  2. bible

  isaiah 45:23 i have sworn by myself ... that unto me every knee shall bow.

  philippians 2:10 that at the name of jesus every knee should bow.

  in all my days of regular pioneering, i never made this connection.

  I am sure the WTS would have an "interesting" explanation backed by the unknown scholar to explain it...

  Thanks Blondie...I for one, enjoy your dissection of the WT articles. Frankly, it is the only way I could muddle through them, since the articles themselves bore me to tears!!

  Adam is in the Garden when he speaks to God, "God, I am trying to understand why you made this fantastic, perfect Garden full of beauty and wonderful things to eat?"...God responds to Adam, "That Adam is so you would like it". Adam thinks a while and asks God, "God, I am trying to understand why you made Eve so beautiful...she is soft, curvy, smells good and stirs feelings in me I have never felt before...why did you do that?"...God responds, "That Adam is so you would like her". Adam thinks for a moment and asks God, "God, I don't mean to be picky, but why did you make Eve SO stupid?"...

  God responds, "That Adam is so she would like you!"

  just curious, do they give you any kind of documentation?

  is it all just by word?

  surely they would have to give you something?.

  On A Scale Of 1 to 10 How Much Knowledge Does A Jehovah's Witness Have About Their Religion?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years (many decades) ago, most jws knew what their religion taught.

  they could go toe to toe with a minister or priest and make some good points.. i believe today's witness knows little about most of the convoluted teachings and revisions of the "truth".

  yesteryear's witnesses got a 9/10.

  I'd give them a 5 or 6 for being able to regurgitate via publications what the WTS tells them the religion is about...I'd give them a 2 for being able to understand without that crutch from the WTS, ie: they know very little based on their personal research of the doctrines.

  Higher education and the unemployment rate

  by onemore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now...here is some information (or statistics) that you won't hear at your local kh or assembly program...... "...people with higher education have weathered the economic downturn and unemployment crisis much better than those without.

  the unemployment rate for americans with a bachelor's degree or higher was 4.4 percent in june, much lower than the 8.2 percent average for the general population of workers 25 and older.

  I would argue that in the current employment environment, with the scarcity of jobs, that those with higher education are applying for and getting jobs that would have normally gone to "less educated" persons. That alone is an argument for higher education...it never hurts to have an "ace up your sleeve".

  If you have sex with your spouse after you find out he/she cheated on you, you cannot divorce them.

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the key to family happiness book, the wbts says that if you have sex with your marriage mate after they cheat on you, and you knew it, you cannot divorce them.. i was disgusted by learning that.

  i only discovered this recently, but i am very angry.

  what if your husand tells you that he'll keep screwing other women if you don't have sex with him?

  You could always say there was no second witness there to hear the admission, thus it doesn't count anyway!
