What is the WTS take on Speaking in Tongues?

by Lion Cask in

this is a fairly worldly view, for those who haven't seen it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3be9wcawim.

Sorry don't know what came over me.

I think what I said is

speaking in tongues is bull droppings.

Ireland: judge orders baby to be given blood after dramatic court hearing

by behemot in

a judge ordered the baby son of a jehovah witness couple to be given a life-saving blood transfusion after a dramatic court hearing in his home in the early hours of the morning.. judge gerard hogan said barristers for temple street children's hospital arrived at his house at 1am on december 27 and argued the desperately ill three-month-old boy needed urgent treatment.. neither the infant nor his parents were identified in the high court judgment, which was published today.. judge hogan ruled that while parents have the constitutional right to raise their children to their own religious and philosophical views, the state has a vital interest in ensuring children are protected.. "but there is absolutely no doubt but that the court can intervene in a case such as this where the child's life, general welfare and other vital interests are at stake," he added.. judge hogan heard that when the baby boy was born in september 2010 he had been a twin, with a sister who did not survive.. on christmas day the infant was suffering from acute bronchiolitis when his condition deteriorated.

at one point he stopped breathing and had to be resuscitated.. he was transferred to temple street the following day where his condition became critical.

his liver was distended and by that evening his haemoglobin level plummeted to the point where a transfusion was necessary.. the judge said while the boy's parents were clearly anxious for his welfare and had allowed the use of blood products earlier that day, as committed jehovah witnesses they were steadfast in their opposition to this procedure.. the hospital made contact with the court's duty register at 10pm that night and the high court hearing was swiftly arranged.. consultant dr kevin carson, clinical director of intensive care, argued the youngster's life was in danger and there were no medical alternatives to a transfusion.. the parents were not legally represented at the judge's house, but were aware of the issues as the court had previously sanctioned a blood transfusion for another child of theirs.. judge hogan continued: "there is no doubt as to the sincerity of the religious beliefs of the parents.. "they struck me as wholesome and upright parents who were most anxious for the welfare of their child, yet steadfast in their own religious beliefs.

Don't you think the parents were overjoyed at the judges ruling? Of course they couldn't show it but my god, they already lost one of their children and now they almost lost the other child over this stupid Watchtower blood interpretation. They had to be happy about the judges decision because now they can claim their faithfulness to the Watchtower Bible and Tract society. They will probably be featured on an upcoming assembly as loving faithful servants of Jehoover.

the april wt is out, get it while you can.

what caught my attention was the first article.

some quotes:.

ldrnomo

Similarly in modern times, Jehovah has

never left his people without clear guidance.

WTF, Clear Guidance?

How can they write this crap when they've changed their guidance on issues like blood, generation, the end, education, etc. etc.

The Agonizing Last Words of Programmer Bill Zeller READ WARNING FIRST

by Yizuman in

this letter, left by man who was sexually abused as a child, commited suicide after being unable to function in his life post molestation.

it's very disturbing and may cause triggers from those who are survivors of sexual abuse, so this is my warning to those that may be very sensitive to this issue as from what i have read, left a very powerful and raw sense of emotions while reading this...... wow, gave me a very powerful insight, i'm beginning to understand....although i do disagree some key points he has addressed, but sadden he's no longer with the living.

i can understand his position, his pain and how the molestation has effected his life.. at the end, i feel really sad for him..... instead of posting it all here, i'm leaving a link instead and a warning for those that are very sensitive on this issue and for those that are survivors of child molestation...... you've been warned...... http://gizmodo.com/5726667/the-agonizing-last-words-of-bill-zeller?skyline=true&s=i.

I'm going to end my "bible" study

i posted a while back, i've been studying with a nice jehovas witness lady for probably about 6 months.

after a few weeks i googled a few things (earthquakes, how long we've been on earth, ect.

) i realised she was very misinformed.

KristiKay,

That is the best news I've heard all day and I'm glad we have helped you to come to that conclusion.

Oh if only 30 years ago I had access to an internet things would have been different.

See folks on the forum, this is what we do, this is how we can stop the Watchtower Organization from taking over more lives then they already have.

I do hope you find what your looking for KristiKay and I'm glad you won't let the Watchtower take control of your life.

If you really do like the women your studying with tell her that from now on what you want to do is switch off with her, one week study her stuff and the next week your stuff. Bet she won't do it.
