  Heads up, the Local Needs part this week is a special talk on blood transfusions.

  a brother called me to ask who was delivering the talk at our hall.

  i didn't know what he was talking about.

  he then explained to me that this week, for the local needs, congregations across the us will have a brother deliver a special outline on blood transfusions.. .

  I really can't see them dropping the blood doctrine, ever. Can you just imagine the massive lawsuits? The fallout would be tremendous. Probably even a revolution. On the other hand, what may happen is that the blood doctrine may be dropped slowly, slowly, bit by bit until it is gone without any kind of fallout. Kind of in a subtle way.

  james woods;

  I'm sure that where it says in Acts is that consumption of blood refers to ingesting/eating it. Don't quote me here, but I think the first transfusion attempt was not up until within the last hundred years or so, and a failing attempt too.

  Oh, they really do have a tiger by the tail here.

  ''pray for our brothers''

  yeah, that sentiment always rubs me the wrong way after some kind of disaster. I mean, what about the thousands, if not millions of other people who have been devastated.

  Life After People has to be one of the most interesting shows. So many things in the world exist that I would have never known about had it not been for that show.

  Evolution vs. Watchtower Society

  by FrankWTower in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a few months ago i had a part in the service meeting about evolution.

  it was based on the reasoning book's entire section on the topic.

  my conscience bothered me because it was the scientific method and science in general that led me to doubt my beliefs in the first place.

  this is a great link and mentions things we know about, all to well.. http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/06/competition-for-when-the-world-will-end/?hpt=c2.

  my favorite part, the term .... cognitive dissonance - the mental turmoil provoked by holding contradictory ideas simultaneously.

  enjoy, i love who the jehovah's witnesses are grouped with.
