I feel... lost...
by Strider Arekksu in(sorry for mispellings, i am emotionally frustrated right now) *sigh* i recently have slowly been, not interested in the 'orginazational' routine of the jws.
i have done personal research on the world, some secrets the government hide from the naive and all that good stuff.
i'm pretty confident something bad is going to happen like the jw doctrine states.

I think that shamus100 must have used monobenzone since his photo. He's claim to be white now, instead of very definitely brown/ brown. It must be "monkey see, monkey do".

only if they haven't been factored out of the analysis, I suggest.

The spirit of Christ is not the gift of the Holy Spirit, at least not the way I believe. I am of the earthly class, even if I try to always exemplify what I understand, within my limitations. I have my own spirit. It's holy if I mind spiritual things; it's fleshly if I mind fleshly things; simple.

wide ... broad... life.....death

7 v13.... broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it.. whereas narrow is the gate leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.

And the tools made from bronze and iron could well have included swords, I suggest. Violence, even murderous jealousy, was already apparent.

My shepherd is my relationship with Jehovah. Everyone else is relative. Drivel can come from ANY imperfect human, even viewers of this post such as myself.

To TD. First off, I am technically oriented in some fields, but medicine and law are 2 that I am not, at least not yet. That will take observation on my part as I am introduced to the practical concepts involved. Even so, I like to discuss things so that any layman can feel that can ask me to explain things from their cultural perspective/ background. Now to the particular points you raised, as much as I know how to respond to them presently.
As to parental rights, as with any human rights, I believe that the Word of God (properly communicated, properly translated, properly understood, and properly applied) is THE guide on all of that. The Scriptures states that the nations are as dust of Jehovah's proverbial scale. That means that their rulings are only valid in as much as they adhere to the Word of God (properly communicated, properly translated, properly understood, and properly applied). The WTS (in all its forms) is no different from any other body, other than I recognize that, in general, the WTS appears to have a greater knowledge of at least the NWT and what has gone into it.
Daniel 2:44 indicates to me that soon the State will be irrelevant. We ought to fear God, and not man (even the State). Diplomacy and respect for the full range of human rights is key, including the right to self-determination with the aid of those trusted by the person at issue.
Since my own usage of terms does not satisfy you, I now turn to Webster's Third New International Dictionary (3 volume, 1966). There are 2 basic definitions:— 1) to take in for digestion; 2) to take in (swallow, absorb).
The blood of the donor is certainly "absorbed" by the blood of the recipient, at least unless/ until it is "rejected" by the recipient.
In any case, I do not put my trust in nobles for my health care, but in Jehovah (Psalm 146:3,5). When I say Jehovah, I believe that he speaks to me via my conscience. I must serve Him with MY power of reason, not with anyone else's, period.
There is immoral sex even with one's own scripturally-legal spouse. If it is non-consensual in any way, either by either human party or by Jehovah, then it is immoral. That is my understanding.
Also (and it's not been addressed here by others), Isaiah 48:17 speaks of us benefiting ourselves. Less days in the hospital, less complications, more meticulous surgeons — that all sounds like benefits to me, to the surgeons, and to the taxpayers.
You are right in saying that there is much than heterogenous blood transfusions that I would reject. Having been born a month premature with resultant deficiencies (to my skin, digestive system, lungs, and frontal lobe-ocular connection), the 3-in-1 immunization I received about the time when I was turning 7, CAUSED me to get all 3. Truly, the "wisdom of the world" is "foolishness with God"
As I said earlier in this post, while the medical community, news media, and WTS info all have their value, it is the practical value and benefit in my life that is key to me. I certainly am a witness of the superlative power of Jehovah's word. Let God be found true, despite the failings of all else.

The war against sin was just beginning. War requires swords, even the Bible.

Isaac's not my conscience, even if he trolls as though he is.
