  Last Thursday's Meeting in Elmira, On

  i had gotten a phone call from a brother who was really upset.

  he said there was a resolution passed that everyone is in agreement to the selling of the elmira hall.

  the strange thing is at the congregation picnic an elder told him that a few years ago the deed to the hall was signed over to the org.

  Questions About the Watchtower's View on Blood Transfusions.

  i admit to not being very well informed about the watchtower's view on blood transfusions.

  i have a couple of questions that i hope someone here is able to answer.. i understand that the watchtower now considers it to be okay to receive blood fractions.. my first question is: are all fractions considered to be permissible?

  and if not, specifically which fractions are not permissible?.

  Yes ...but today, why is plasma banned by the WT and organ transplants not?

  And why are JW mothers not prohibited from nursing their babies?

  Hi Alex,

  Why does the WTS ban plasma when all the components of plasma (water, albumin, proteins) are on the acceptable list?

  And why does the WTS allow organ transplants which result in the transfer of millions of white blood cells?

  Call me curious.

  Defying logic

  Every component of blood plasma is on the WT acceptable list, yet plasma is outlawed by the org. Raymond Franz likens it to saying you can eat mayo, cheese, lettuce and bread, but you cannot eat a cheese sandwich

  White blood cells are banned, but these are found in the millions in a mother's milk. Also, most white blood cells are found in organ tissue, not in the blood itself. Each organ transplant, permitted by the society since 1980, necessitates the transfer of millions of white blood cells.

  Where is the logic in that?

  Do you believe in a Rapture that the Churches teach instead of living on earth forever

  by Alex Williams in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  its taken from 1 thessalonians 4:13-17. now jesus compared the end to the days of noah .

  but as the days of noah were, so shall also the coming of the son of man be.

  why did he compare the two and does it give us a clue to which teaching is the right one?.

  As I see it the distinction as to who will be with Christ in heaven and those who will have opportunity to live on the new earth is revealed in John 5:28-29

  "Do not be amazed at this, for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and shall come forth, they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. "

  During the millennial judgement those of the first resurrection rule with Christ with a rod of iron over the nations bringing all into sanctification. Then heaven will descend to earth, Israel restored and mankind delivered to perfection.

  That's the way i see it.

  The WTS blood policies are not scriptural and defy logic.

  Brothers Saying PIMO Things In Talks

  by APieceOfShitNamedTate in

  2. friends

  i've been paying very close attention to talks ever since waking up.

  i probably pay more attention now than i ever did while i was sleeping.

  anyway, i think there are a lot of brothers who are awake, and they try their best to go against the grain while up on that stage.

  Hi Ronin

  Just curious...

  As a current elder, are you not concerned that you might be recognized by your picture or is that not you?

  Genuine question

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social
  2. current

  are we about to experience very dire problems regarding male/female toilets?.

  the reason i ask this question is that a very good friend (catholic, not jw) has just returned from ny and told me that he saw a public toilet which said the toilets were gender neutral and if you felt more female but you were a guy, then use the female loo, and vice versa for women who felt like a guy.

  is this going to give free licence to pervs/voyeurs?

  I noticed that at Tim Hortons restaurants they have a spacious 3rd single unit washroom for the handicapped and families. They just need to add the term UNI to that list and no one need be offended or anxious.
