Why does Acts 15:29 differentiate "things strangled" from "blood"?
by pirata inacts 15:29 says to "keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from flood and from things strangled and from fornication".. a study the relevant mosaic laws indicates that blood was to be poured out, and not eaten, when an animal was killed.
if the animal had already died, then it was okay to eat the unbled meat of the animal if you went through the ceremonial cleansing.
thus blood only needs to be poured out when a life was purposefully taken.. however, one could counterargue that since abstaining from "blood" and "things strangled" are listed as seperate items, the "blood" prohibition covers more than just the eating of improperly bled meat.. some have suggested that abstaining from "blood" means to abstain from bloodshed, but i haven't seen any strong arguments/reasoning to support this.. any thoughts on why this distinction is made?

Proverbs 26:4-5 ... I'm confused.
by darkl1ght3r in(proverbs 26:4-5)4 do not answer anyone stupid according to his foolishness, that you yourself also may not become equal to him.
5 answer someone stupid according to his foolishness, that he may not become someone wise in his own eyes.. so which is it?

question about judicial committee meetings
by peaches ina couple of young people about 20years old,,,,were involved with each....they went too far with the being alone situation....not sure if they reported themselves or some one else did...reguardless.....i guess the elders asked both of them extremely embarrassing questions and very very personal ones...like what kind of underwear she wore,,,,,did she have an orgasm.....etc etc..... i do not understand why this is done?????
they went too far,,,acknowledged it,,,,met with the elders...why the deep personal questions??
they already had all the information they needed...... i should know these things,,,being in the borg for 30 years...but i don't,,,i really do not understand why????

People You've Met
by watson inborn and bred a jw, i never really developed many relationships outside the org.
with the exception of employees, virtually none.
i wonder what would have happened if i had tried to reach out to different "interesting" individuals that i ran into over the years.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Hypochondria
by maputo95 inis there a link to jw involvement and hypochondria?
are people made mentally ill from their involvement in a cult?
i mean all those gory pictures of people being destroyed at armageddon must impinge on impressionable child-like minds.
