told my husband to put a muzzle on my mouth over the blood dogma.
we all were driving around in field service when the topic of "which fragments would you take if you were in a car accident or cut yourself badly".
said his choice is a personal one, another sister with chronic health problems said she had no problem with the governing body's new light on taking various fragments.
They can do what they want when it's convenient: Malawi/Mexico; blood products; UN; signing passport applications with a loyalty oath, etc
im not sure the issue is 'where' the blood comes from as generally they wouldn't know but they buy food and other services from non-witnesses so I'm not sure what the issue would be there.
as auntconnie rightly observes though, they are prepared to use without contributing.
i'll be curious for any alternative plausible explanations for this...... .
every lifeform on earth, humans, plants, bacteria, cells, anything with life originated with other life.
all trees come from living seeds from other trees, etc.
Aha! Thanks for explaining.

You must be a viewer of "The Atheist Experience": Matt always says that line.
Never heard of it :) - what is it?

Just a thought: I may have missed it but did anyone on this thread actually say evolution doesn't happen?

What others believe is perhaps of less interest than why they believe it.
One can learn a lot by asking why people think the way they do about particular topics, it is also a good way of gently challenging those beliefs without the need to engage in combat which happens quite a lot on this forum and rarely seems to lead to either party conceding.
sorry if this has been asked before but i would love to know the current ratio on this forum.. i'm a believer/christian former jw for 45 years... born in .
what are you now and what were you?.

It seems to me the OP was asking what people are - not to justify it.

archaeologists discover: god's wife?.
Why would a man want to goto a male god temple when the female one had all the female holy prostitutes.
- I can think of a few reasons sweetie :)
with the new light, the governing body apparently passed the master's inspection due to our focus on preaching the kingdom at that time.
we were the only ones doing this according to the july wt re all those changes.. but, were we really doing this in 1918?
i thought it was only the colporteurs.
What proof that there was an inspection? lol
i never was a jw, and in many ways my interest was academic.
i have known, and know, some jws and ex-iws and know something of (but not personally) the effects that wtbts has on people.
the effects, imho, are not positive.
@Mrrhome - I don't get how atheism is a religion. Please explain.
