This thread has the makings of a great article.

Jesus evidently meant it is OK to question your religion.

Datamining the WT CD (II): Acts 15:28-29 on blood through the years

by bohm in

i have gotten around the compression on the wt cd, and i have been playing around a bit.

what i have done is for each year between 1950-2005 i have extracted all bible citations in the wt articles on each year (about 500'000-1'000'000 quotations!

) and summed them if they occured more than once.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses allowed to live in homes made of PLYWOOD? A Watchtower viewpoint from 1964.

by ThomasCovenant in

while looking up whether jw nurses are allowed to administer blood transfusions i found this little gem from.

watchtower 15th november 1964 page 681 .

''the use of blood in adhesives for manufacturing plywood and other commonly used materials has now come to the attention of christians, and we use plywood as an example.. much plywood is made using blood glue, but some plywood is blood-free.. a christian purchaser or contractor may seek to obtain blood-free plywood if he can do so; however, if he decides to use all types of plywood, it must be left to his conscience.

The Bible shows that blood is not to be taken out of a body, stored and then later reused.

Not in My bible it doesn't!!!

What would Jesus Christ say if he returned today?

by James_Slash in

this was always one of the main justifications for me in leaving the wt behind.

i was just wondering how many of you have ever reasoned in the same way.. i have often wondered how jesus christ would react if he came back to the earth now and how he would view the organisation who claim to represent his standards?.

would jesus really want to be associated with paedophilia, false prophecies, shunning, the destruction of families, lies, untruths, hypocritical leaders and the lack of love amongst members?.

Who else could Jesus be talking about apart from the JW's?

How about every organized religion using his name?

Are there any out there that don't claim you can be saved apart from them?

2010 Circuit Assembly..........Sunday Program nonsense and madness.

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

i went to the sunday circuit assembly and came back all riled up with all the nonsense.. the sunday program was on ''safeguarding your spirituality''.

''it is better to remain single and not marry.

that gives you more time for studying and the preaching work.
