  Blood Fractions

  by alice.in.wonderland in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  someone is pressing me about blood fractions on an unrelated thread, so i just moved the topic to an appropriate location.. "the point for me in every thread you touch is your sickening dishonesty and nauseating apologies for the old men in brooklyn who tell you what to do.. they have told you that products made from blood don't use blood, and you are so corrupt and gullible you just accept it.".

  i accept any bible-based religion that adheres to the bible as its authority.. the purpose of this magazine, the watchtower, is to honor jehovah god, the supreme ruler of the universe.

  just as watchtowers in ancient times enabled a person to observe developments from afar, so this magazine shows us the significance of world events in the light of bible prophecies.

  The Resurrection of the Righteous and the Unrighteous

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one saturday morning after eating at a restaurant, my family and a group of witnesses left the restaurant at about the same time.

  so, i struck up a conversation and eventuallly tactfully questioned them about how they hoped to have their sins forgiven since official wt doctrine is that jesus is only the mediator for the 144,000. .

  after bantering a bit and trying to have it both ways, one man essentially claimed that the whole point was moot because there was going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.

  Would you Agree with this?

  it occured to me that when the new, young elders, ministerial servants and so on take over, they are further and further away from the origin of the witnesses.

  when the lies were fresh in the minds of all, when people saw first hand what was done wrong, giving them the reasons to jump ship and enjoy life, without fear of making a mistake, because they had a good idea of the facts.

  these things have since been brushed under the carpet and the circuit overseers, elders, ministerial servants and so on are more naive and clueless (in my opinion) than ever.. the same applies to the rank and file witnesses.

  Of the one's DF'd here, how many have been called on by the Elders?

  by Fishbulb in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i left the organization one of the reasons i did so was because of the hypocrisy i saw within the congregation regarding sheepherding the weak.

  people who were struggling to make meetings, ones who were house-ridden due to illness or depression, ones who don't keep a prominent position in the hall, these ones were all ignored.

  i was one who never ever ever missed a meeting and in august i suddenly stopped going.

  The WTB&TS best defense against apostates

  by Gregor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had 2 nice ladies come to the door this morning.

  i played it very cool as long as i could, asking "dumb" questions like what ever happened to your 1914 generation teaching?

  i knew it could only go so far and sure enough they began to smell a dirtyratcat.

  songs that help you cry....

  by wings in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no matter how much you want to avoid it...crying is necessary sometimes.

  for me, i need help with it....too many distractions in my life.

  i almost have to plan crying....so for me music aides in releasing emotion, helps me just be me for an interval of time.

  Did/Does God answer your prayers?

  by song19 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my spiritual journey, which includes trying to decide if i still believe in god anymore or not i am beginning to question if god listened to my prayers or even answered them.

  i think i had a track record of praying more when i needed something.

  terrible i know.
