If Jesus' being Son of God makes him God, then the angels and Adam being called Sons of God must make them God, too. That doesn't seem right to me.

Just because the phrase "blood transfusions" is not in a Bible translation, this does NOT mean that the IDEA is not there. I would rather avoid the war where it may be fought, and pursue peaceable alternatives. If one jurisdiction has not conformed to accurate knowledge, I would rather choose one that has. And it is each of us what we consider accurate knowledge, for free will is Jehovah's choice for all of us, is it not? Or is it only for those who are not Jehovah's witnesses? No, that can't be, for Jehovah's witnesses are like Jehovah, just as a well-mannered child imitates its parents. Surely.

How can one explain what one doesn't even believe. I suggest that it is not possible. According to the Scriptures, though, we CAN reason that Jesus is Mighty God, never Almighty God. We CAN see Jesus as God's son or God's Son, but never God the Son. Even as we do so, there are 2 persons being discussed here, not 3. We are the ones like me, at least, if not all who view threads such as this.

Where Jehovah and the man-made governments differ, Jehovah must be obeyed. It is the same challenge as Hazariah, Ananiah, and Mishael faced. It is the same challenge that Peter and the others faced when they were commanded not to preach.

If killing innocents in war is wrong, then killing children in a war of "medicine and law" is also wrong, no?

"in order to avoid misunderstandings, jehovahs witnesses try to be careful about how they express themselves.

instead of saying, "the society teaches," many witnesses prefer to use such expressions as, "the bible says" or, "i understand the bible to teach.

Who else are non-JWs, if not householders? Surely they look in here as the JWs here discuss things amongst themselves! After all, it's http://www.jehovahs-witness.net, right??!!

My dear Isaac, yes there must be compassion. Compassion upon the one who would otherwise be forced against her will. Whose case this thread is based upon. Certainly her desire to obey Jehovah and trust in Jehovah's provision for everlasting salvation is more noble than legal and medical dogmatism. Certainly compassion trumps the angst forced upon this dear young one. What if you had her values? Where are the noble values of human dignity? Have you no pity or mercy?

There are certainly householders and non JWs here on the board, and even if there weren't, imperfect humans generally will be misunderstood if there is any way to be, which is like all the time on here especially because relationships take time, which is not what generally happens here. I have never strayed from the thrust of the topic on this thread. I have simply given an increasing number of reasons why I concur.

I am interested in the spirit of the Bible, holy as it is. It must not be argued about as if it were a common book.
