  Blood Issue - Could that mean bloodshed???

  by cognac in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you look up the greek word for blood, it could mean actual "blood" or it could mean "bloodshed".

  the scriptures in acts are not quoted anywhere so nobody could really say for certain which meaning it actually has... .

  also, just before it in acts, it states to abstain "from things strangled".

  2. relationships

  i was married a long time, divorced and alone for the last couple of years.

  i consider myself content.

  i've come to terms with being alone and the prospect that i may not be with someone for a good while.

  The Blood Issue Logically and Scripturally

  by yourmomma in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  lets for the sake of argument say that god views blood sacred and having a blood transfusion would be a sin.

  the scriptures teach us that jesus shed blood is a ransom sacrifice that covers all of our sins.

  the only unforgivable sin is rejecting christ after accepting him, therefore becoming apostate, correct?

  My Life as a 'Famous' Jehovah's Witness

  by united states of nothing in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just let me start out by saying i am unable to give certain details of my life as i have learned very quickly this can cause a lot of problems.

  i was born into the 'truth' as my mother had been studying with a few sisters on and off at a local congregation.

  my father was never a jw and came in and out of my life for many years..to this day i do not give him much time.

  A fair and reasonable question for Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Gregor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  your organization has always been intently focused on "witnessing" and this includes going right up to strangers homes, knocking on their door attempting to engage them in a discussion of their beliefs.

  you come prepared to point out the error of whatever faith they hold.

  doctrines such as immortality of the soul, the trinity and eternal torment in hell you declare as false teachings and can back up your assertions with scriptures and skilled argument.

  How the Internet Means 'The End' for Apostates and Opposers of the Society

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the received wisdom is that the internet has dramatically damaged the ability of the watchtower society to gain and retain followers.

  there was a very eloquent article to that effect written some time ago by a commentator who attempted to buttress his argument with reference to the postmodern condition and the breakdown of metanarratives in todays secular society, nay, even the come-back for enlightenment notions of truth.

  in the 1970/80s there were major challenges to the watchtowers theology (great crowd in heaven) and chronology (1914) in norway, alberta canada, dublin ireland and in the newyork bethel itself: but the damage caused by those involved in the dissent was limited because knowledge was dispersed merely through personal contact and minimal use of obscure publications that seldom met the eyes of witnesses innocent of the watchtowers doctrinal and chronological vacillations in any case.

  Have You Changed Since You First Started Posting Here?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  on a different thread, berylblue mentioned how, when comparing my 1st post to the present ones, there is an obvious change.

  i do agree that we all can grow and learn as time goes on in our lives.

  my question for today is,"have you changed in how you think or in your growth from a spiritual and /or emotional standpoint"?
