  By-Products

  if you believe that the bible's command to 'abstain from blood' was merely a dietary restriction do you make sure to check the labels of meat to see if it contains 'by-products'?

  i remember this was a common practice back in the 80's and a lot of hot dogs had by-products so we couldn't eat them.

  but i have rarely heard this mentioned in recent years.

  Glad you clarified that, I thought I was losing it there for a minute.

  I'm not worried about by-products. It's mechanically seperated chicken that bothers me. Check the back of potted meat cans, or Vienna sausages.

  What proof is there that Jesus chose the Bible Students in 1919?

  what proof is there that jesus inspected all the religions or the earth in 1919 and then chose the bible students?.

  just because the watchtower says in its literature that they were chosen is not proof!.

  Six Screens is the exact stereotype of what JW's think apostates are. Went there a couple times and will not go again.

  1874

  by PYRAMIDSCHEME in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does anyone know the last mention of 1874 in the orgs publications?

  i am trying to pinpoint in their own literature when this was changed to 1914. i know the 1914 doctrine came into its "current understanding" around 1941, right?.

  Thanks. I guess what I mean is: when was the last time they mention 1874 when they still believed in it?

  You've come to the right place for advice. Just about all of us can understand what you are going through. Unfortunatly there is no easy answer becasue we all have different situations and handle things in a different way. The Org is not going to go easy on you whether you mail the letter or not. We all no what happenes when we leave. But if you stay and fake it or just try to be "inactive" they wont leave you alone with the guilt trips and emotional terrorism they are so good at. I feel bad for all those that go through what you are dealing with. Your right, you dont owe the elders any explanation for anything, this is your life, its none of their business. But it is your families business and it does affect them. The problem with JW's is they are all brainwashed and they wont even try to understand what you are dealing with, how you feel or even how hard this is for you. This is a good place for support, use it to the fullest, we are all here for you.

  Misunderstood relativistic fears

  by Dogpatch in

  more than 10,000 people have died in the japanese tsunami and the survivors are cold and hungry.

  but the media concentrate on nuclear radiation from which no-one has died - and is unlikely to.. modern reactors are better designed than those at fukushima - tomorrow's may be better stillnuclear radiation at very high levels is dangerous, but the scale of concern that it evokes is misplaced.

  nuclear technology cures countless cancer patients every day - and a radiation dose given for radiotherapy in hospital is no different in principle to a similar dose received in the environment.. what of three mile island?

  Wally, Wikipedia is not a good source for info. And of course Greenpeace is going to put the numbers high, it fits their agenda, same as the pro nuclear crowd are going to put the numbers low, it fits their aganda.
