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!

"Every Knee" ??

by Perry in

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!"

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

by minimus in

jw

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.
