in this book, the miriclle of the scarlet thread, richard booker outlines the steps ancient hebrews typically followed in making a covenant: ......they exchanged robes.......they exchanged belts.....cut the convenant.......raised the right hand..........mingled their blood.......exchanged names.....made a scar.....stated the convenant terms.........ate the memorial meal......and planted a tree.

the covenant partners raised their right arms, cut their palms and intermingled their blood, while swearing allegiance to each other.

blood represents life; the intermingling represent two lives becoming one.

during my studies i became aware of the ancient custom hebrew marriage ........12 steps in all...... during the end of the marrige ceremony the husband and wife would cut thier hands and join them as a signification of becoming one in the eyes of jehovah...... thus mingling their blood with each others................................ i have 3 questions....... are jehovah winesses aware of this?.

would jehovah's witnesses regard this as blood transfusion?.

what would jehovah think about many of the ancient hebrew prophets of old becoming married in this way?.

when i was jw i never saw an annointed person.... i thought that to be annointed you had to be american....i remember i asked someone at km hall were do the annointed drink the wine and eat the bread ?

they siad it happens in a back room in private.... is this true?

i was only young maybe it was just a throw off answer...... i always felt that holding the wine and bread publicly for a few seconds and then passing it on was a direct public denial of yahushua's instruction.........

who remembers the jw term "dont worry he'll die at armagedon" they'll die at armagedon".

whilst witnessing it was a term (or something similar) as a child i heard quite ......often even co's..................... .

also i remember judging weather the person we had just spoken to at the door was infact demonised.................. "did you see it in his eyes he was definatley demonised" or "that person back there is into spiritism".
