Christians Eating Blood Sausage

by Marvin Shilmer in

jw

christians eating blood sausage .

today i uploaded a new article to my blog critiquing a proposition often made by the watchtower organization that christians do not eat products rendered from blood, such as blood sausage.

though watchtower quotes historical documents on this point, it entirely looks over the more contemporary history of jehovahs witnesses regarding eating of blood sausage.

I am by no means a jw apologist but I'd probably defend this alleged hypocritical statement by WT

the ones who ate the blood sausage weren't true christians; the ones who didn't eat it were true christians.
this illustrates how New Light was in its process of refining their thinking and their teachings. It wasn't (I think) till some 10 years later that taking blood into the body became a DF offense.

Why believing JWs should want to be annointed

by just n from bethel in

if you were a believing jw, especially born-in, you never really had the chance to determine if you had the heavenly or earthly hope.

you were raised - or taught in bible/book study - that your hope was, unequivocally, to live forever on paradise earth.

period.

Its official, call me Mr Apostate from now on

by Joey Jo-Jo in

i overheard a conversation from my family, jw's are shunning me, but the best part is i am not a jw, never been bathtised, just a born in who woke up in his early thirties.

the reasoning behind it was something i did, it wasn't fornication because im still a virgen, it wasn't stealing, killing or praying to false gods, drinking or anything that the bible defines as sin, im not even the going out type, i dont have many friends, never been reprove or did anything to set a bad example (i was your typical jw) no no no, it was a book, it was sending an email to a family member who happens to be jw with the shephearding the flock ppf.. this book was a huge shock to the person, eventually it raised questions and spread around, eventually this went full circle back at me, my parents already concerned for some time has asked brothers to see if they can fix my reasoning so i can be brainwashed again and give them money to some rich guys in brooklyn who dont have any ethical responsibilities towards others.

i wanted my parents to do this, i want them to see what the brothers will do and say about me, thinking and hopping, that some day they will wake up from their long sleep.

Date predictions, Mayans vs. Watchtower

Oh, dear. You are a SaltyOldLady. I suspect you'd have done a far better job of it.

However, Christians and Muslims, to name just a few -- are quite anti-female gender. Perhaps it's a Pauline thing. Just a gut feel, but subtract the apostle Paul's writings and you have nothing left to place women as second class citizens within the congregation; elders must be HUSBAND of one wife, then there's the head covering thing, then there's the headship thing, etc.

Thanks, Sab.

Hey, where did your last avatar go? That quotation was from my all time favorite book, The Princess Bride. I read that aloud to my kids at least twice. The movie was sorta okay but simply didn't do it justice.

I have a dream.

by jean-luc picard in

FatFreek 2005

That's interesting. I have them every few months or so. Last night, in fact.

They're usually about struggling to prepare for a talk -- preparing visual aids, or procrastinating about the talk, or trying to think of an excuse not to give the talk. Then, coming to the realization that I haven't been a JW for 33 years and why a I even doing this -- a great relief. I usually wake up in a cold sweat.

To you lurkers who think it's a guilt trip, I also have dreams that I've gone back to smoking -- and that's been 50 years.

I Do Believe in Armageddon!

by Was New Boy in

not the same one that the jehovah witnesses believe in.

none the less major earth changes leading up to 2012.. events where 80%+ of the earth's population is going away!.

i was asked just "what have i been doing the last 2 years.

FatFreek 2005

Howdy to you, WNB. Haven't seen hide nor hair of you since Dallas fest. Hope you're doing well.

I changed that list, the former known Bethelites, replacing New Boy with Was New Boy since you changed your handle.
