Fractional Withdrawal
by DNCall init occurred to me that by introducing the concept of accepting blood fractions as being a conscience matter, the society has established a precedent for the disposing of other unfounded teachings.. consider, for example, birthdays:.
on your birthday it is allowable to eat cake.
it is allowable to light a candle or candles.

Dont honeymoons and wedding rings have pagan origins?? they are on the OK list!
Skeeter1- I dont know about the cake, but I do know that one nip of southern comfort is only 1 point when mixed with 'diet' coke ( so I can get drunk as long as I only do it a 'fraction' at a time) LOLOLOL

The role of the "firstborn Son" as the Creator?
by Doug Mason inthe watchtower of 1 april 1978 (page 16), tells me:.
"through [the firstborn son], jehovah god brought into existence millions of angelic sons, the vast universe with its billions of galaxies and the earth with its abundant variety of plant and creature life.".
is the wt telling me that the "firstborn son" created black holes, dying stars, poisonous atmospheres, uninhabitable planets, comets that crash into planets, dangerous rays from the sun, and life-threatening places on earth?.

Not sure what your point is here but, what i would like to know is- who was the "woman" who gave "birth" to the "first born son"???? and who married her to Joho before they... created him? did they have any "daughters" together? who was their nanny while they were busy making creating the "other" million or so "angel babies"??????
I apologize for my stupidity- woman were just an after thought in revealed religion and to Joho. A 'good' little wifey helper to bring forth children and to do the manual labor so Adamus can enjoy paradise while kissing Joho's ass feet. ( is it any wonder Eve poisoned Adam and herself- dont let the book fool you into thinking she believed that talking snake- she wanted Adam's lasy ass gone and offing herself was just the price she paid to finally get some rest!)

Closure of an Elder run JW forum
by CharlieBrownsLovelyDaughter insome of you may know of a longstanding jw owned and operated forum named "touchstone forum" (www.touchstoneforum.net/cgi-bin/yabb2/yabb.pl).
wrench, the elder who ran the board, closed its doors rather quickly a couple of weeks ago, and has refused to discuss the reasons for the closure.
no announcement of closing.

I no longer 'read' any 'version' of the bible- the 3 times i have read it from cover to cover I read the NWT, NIV and the KJV, in my opinion all of them were wronge to a certain degree! Personally I believe that god had nothing to do with the writting of any 'holy book' and at no time 'chose' one child over the other! I dont even think god has a gender (male or female), or would limit the telling of vital information to just one person who then had to tell everyone else (thats spreading rumours and hearsay by the time we get the information isn't it?).
My advice is- stop looking in books for the answers- take a walk outside and behold the real truth, nature and the creation is god real words, it can not be forged or wrongly translated, it publishes itself and will be here long after we are gone, everything we need to have 'paradise/utopia/nirvana' is right here and right now, we just need to let go of the illusion of control and go with the flow... further more- if everyone slaved for everyone else, no one would be without!

Reniaa - did you forget Isaiah 9:6-7 ??? this is suposidly a 'prophesy' about the birth of Jesus- please explain why if he is 'not the father' in human form, that he would be called- Mighty God, Eternal Father????????? (scripture supports both the 4 and against the trinnity debate!).
Isaiah 9 NEW WORLD TRANSLATION
6 For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7 To the abundance of the princely rule and to peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom in order to establish it firmly and to sustain it by means of justice and by means of righteousness, from now on and to time indefinite. The very zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this.
(This is me just pointing out the fact that- anyone can pick and chose bible quotes to suit their own agenda! if a book could grow legs, I bet the world's revealed religions would try to make holy books tap dance too! )

Buying it hook, line, and sinker is not the same as FAITH...is it?
by journey-on inouch!
my tongue is bleeding from biting it so hard.. jw: "i don't need to question anything.
i have faith jehovah is guiding and arranging his organization and giving us the proper food in due season through his faithful and discreet slave.

A certain amount of 'faith' is required when you 'believe' in anything (no one has 100% knowledge)- but before you can believe, you need the facts and to be able to trust the sorce of the facts- trust is something earned after years of experience/knowledge, it is tested and tested many times and if it still holds true at the end of the day- one may feel comfortable enough to place there faith in it.
Bottom line- If you lean in close and it smells bad, DONT EAT IT! For me the borg was tryed, tested and found to be YUK! LOLLOL

What is the JW theology?
by Doug Mason inby "theology" i mean "the study of god (gk.
: theos).. jws keep rabbiting on ad nauseum about the trinity teaching being "irrational", "impossible to understand", etc.. i do not want this thread to be about the trinitarian doctrine.. i want to be given an explanation of what a jw believes.
i have seen so many arrows and spears thrown by jws, i want to know exactly what they are defending.. i want to see an explanation of "god" that is rational and can be understood.. doug.

Doug- in short Joho is the big boss, Jesus is/was his first creation/child and the holy sipirit is Joho's active forse.
