this question came out frequently from a situation known to some of us who knew of 2 cases.... if a single or married sister gets rapped by stranger or incest, a pregnancy results, she is not allowed to have an abortion but neither is she allowed to give it up for adoption?...i always question why not up for adoption?...
no you will be blood guilty because the child won't be raised in the "truth"... hmmmmm does anyone heard of that?
is it a matter of consciousness?
Tim310- How many were medically necessary? How about less than 1% of 1%.
2ndly, one can get an abortion almost anywhere. If there is one thing that is not denied to the american public, it's abortion clinics.
Planned parenthood is big on womens healthcare, but how many breast mamogram clinics do they have? 0
just saying
There is an abundant amount of scriptural evidence implying that God is a trinity without the word 'trinity'.
These scriptural passages [and plenty more] are not promoted by the WTS.
Off the top of my head
ACTS 5 :3-4 is a proof text. Peter calls the Holy Spirit God. You have lied to the Holy Spirit. You have lied to God he says.
ISAIAH 9 :6 states that Jesus is God. A child is born, a son is given, he is to be called, wonderful councilor, mighty God, eternal father.
Similar to the hell texts. Jesus spoke more of hell then he did of heaven, yet those are scriptural passages the the WTS will play down and in some cases simply deny.

Worth mentioning that no matter HOW a pregnancy happens, the child is always innocent.
Hitler killed millions and was very passionate about his killing.
Joseph Stalin killed millions without passion, just didn;t care.
Abortions have killed more than every murder, war, drunk driver, or any other violence thru all of recorded history. Just saying
my father is still in the truth but keeps in touch with me from time to time.
the other day, he sent me an email about how the generation could be a 120 years like it was for noah.
so, i responded saying that itd be a good thing if it turned out to be true; that he may believe it to be true, as long as he doesnt judge people who dont feel the same way.
Hi Stephane,
Your dad is responding the same you that you'd respond before your learned the TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUTH.
HE is still conditioned to judge.
Now that you are not, try to show him with your love and actions as opposed to explaining your position as he won;t listen to that.

hi, i am not a jw, but i am a student studying the jehovah's witnesses.
i was wondering if a jw could answer a few questions for me about your doctrine?.
where does your teaching come from (which writings)?.
hello, i haven't posted for a number of years.
i've been struggling for years of wrestling in my mind regarding the organization.
i guess the big thing for me to push me over the edge is the generation overlapping thingy.
yesterday i read something that hurt my heart.
at a talk given by a brother lyman swingle ( i apologize if i am stepping out of line by using this) he said "that if you leave the jw ( i find it difficult to refer to it as the truth now days) you may as well go jump off a bridge".
this i think is disgraceful talk to say to any body let alone an audience in which children are present.
hello, lurkers and curious.
i imagine you're reading this because either you think you can defend your beliefs victoriously or you have doubts.. i have 2 questions that i hope you can log in and answer (no one will know who you are unless you tell them or leave your page open for others to see).
1. what actual worship did you do at the meetings or gatherings?.
Great tread. My brother always tells me that you know a tree by it;s fruit. What are the JW fruits?
What good comes from the WTS services?
Answer-???
so today i'm watching cbs news coverage of the popes visit to america.
first, let me say i'm not religious at all at this point in my life.
still a few things stood out to me about the news coverage of his visit.. first thing i wondered was if a gb member happened to garnish this much press (unlikely) what would his message be?
my brother [the elder] often refers to this line as to 'knowing a tree by it;s fruits'.
so,my question is what are the jw fruits?.
just asking....sincerely.
My brother says ''we're the only ones going door to door restoring God's name"
I explained that going door to door is a work and not a fruit. It is a poor work at best as how many people has he converted? What are the fruits? TO which he has no answer
