SV:You are right, all carnivors eat blood in the wild so why would transfusions be contrary to the scriptures?
Atlantis: thanks for that quotation. I wonder if there has been new light pn the subject since 1964

That is so sad Magnum. We had a boxer that bled internally and fainted. We allowed a transfusion but discovered the next day that his bleeding was caused by a ruptured and inoperable cancerous tumor.
I believe the Society still frowns on blood transfusions for pets but I'm really not sure.

Hi NBD
Had to chuckle for a moment.
As I see it Armageddon did happen almost 40 years from the Olivet discourse....immediately at the close of the unrepeatable localized tribulation.

"Finally it was anyone who knew anyone who was born by 1914, which is where I think it went off the rails."
How anyone could believe this was not a desperation move by the Faithful Slave to salvage their 1914 dogma is beyond me.

The youngest, i.e., babies born in 1914, are 107 today. When Jesus said that surely this generation would not pass away, he was obviously talking about a thriving generation; not a decrepit few barely hanging onto life.

Re: The Real Name of God
What did Nehemia Gordon find in the Vatican Junk-Box?
Apparently the real name of God.
Hebrew Luke and John found in Vatican Junk Box – NehemiasWall.com
It is always fun to see Nehemia Gordon's enthusiasm over discoveries related to God's personal name.
However, I for one do not think it is at all important to know the exact Hebrew pronounciation of the Father's name or the Son's name for that matter. And I don't believe that proclaiming God's name means anything more than teaching and demonstrating His Person, attributes and character. The Pharisees may have known God's personal name and used it often, yet they were of another father.
The fact that there are first century fragments of John and Luke's gospels in Hebrew does not prove they predated those written in Greek. Nor does it prove that God’s name was in the originals. The fact is that none of the thousands of ancient Greek manuscripts or fragments thereof have the name.
That being said, I do believe that Yahovah with the accent on the last syllable is most likely right on. Nonetheless, I have no problem with those using Jehovah, or Yahweh and believe those are more accurate renderings of the divine name. In other words l don't think it's an issue of any importance.
If I had never heard my earthly father's first name, I would love him no less today....because I know him and what he did and what he was like.
ONLY those who pride themselves in knowing and using and teaching the name, should at least get it right...as Terry points out.

Actually Russell predicted 1914 would bring on Armageddon or the end of human government.

The generation Jesus was talking about in Matthew 24:34 is identical to the one he spoke about in Matthew 23:36.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Mt 24:34
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. Mt 23:36
And incidentally, wherever the Greek word “genea” appears alone in the gospels, it is used to delineate “one set of parents to the next”. However, whenever genea is preceded by the definite article “this” (houtos) before “generation”, “this generation” (houtos genea), in context, clearly covers the same group of people, i.e., “Christ's contemporaries”
