djeggnog invited me to start a new thread about the blood doctrine, which i am happy to do here.
his objection was my statement,.
"i've seen the blood video, a deceiving mix of scripture, fearmongering and pseudoscience, with plenty of lab coats in view.
'I trust that the illustration I provide above regarding samples from a music CD will sufficiently answer your question and put the matter to rest.'
Talk about rest, I think @djeggnog needs some 'rest'!
As OUTLAW says.... @djeggnog sounds Watchtarded.
this is a non-study article in the witness only version of the april 15th titled " do you discern the evidence of god's guidance ?
" essentially in this article the alleged " faithful slave " is telling witnesses that to be approved to survive armageddon- they will have to recognize the " faithful & discreet slave's " authority in their lives.. notice these direct quotes from pg.
4 , " jesus christ is the assigned leader of the congregation.
Par 3 page 5: 'Do you clearly discern the evidence of divine guidance?' What a load of crap! For starters the evidence is clear that the GB can't make its' mind up on which generation Jesus was talking about. Divine guidance, my ASH!
'Jehovah uses his organization to guide us , his people , through " the wilderness " during these last days of Satan's wicked world.' Another load of crap! No offense to 'Jehovah' but JWs would be better off if a blind man was guiding them. OH! Wait. Maybe the GB are blind!
'As a result we enjoy unity, love, and security'. Yah, sure, that's why the Society saw fit to have a study article this past Sunday to remind JWs entitled..... 'Respect Marriage as a Gitft From God'. JW families are falling apart! Regarding family life: The Mormons enjoy more unity, love, and security than the JWs......hands down!
Jehovah's Witnesses are a disgrace to the name 'Jehovah'.
Thank you flipper.
it might make you feel better but praying will do them no good at all.
please, please consider donating to a legitimate disaster relief charity.
here in the u.k. i'd recommend shelterbox, perhaps some u.s posters could suggest other credible american organisations?.
Avoid if at all possible donating via WTBTS!
PSacrmento: Good suggestion!
The safest bets in regards to donations are the organizations that are ALWAYS there, like Red Cross, Doctors without borders, Habitat for Humanity and groups like that.
You can also get in touch with the Japanese embassy or consulate and they will give you info.
well this past weekend was pretty much as predicted, the demonstrations were probably the worst i have ever seen.
you know the ones i mentioned on a post last week where in the middle the participant has a sudden epiphany!
here is a sampling of just a few.. .
ProigalSon: 'I really wish the Watchtower was no part of the world already.'
Good play on words!

We attended the program about a month ago. My wife & I felt the same way: As you say..... 'Their M.O. is always to put everyone outside the organization down. It was an absolutely unrealistic and disgusting portrayal.'
Among the things the WTBTS needs to scrap IMO are: D.A. & C.A. demonstrations and Service Meeting and Watchtower Q & A parts. This would be a good start of things to overhaul!
i`ve recieved an email from one of the dearest people i know,here on jwn... shelby had major surgery at the end of february..she is just getting her strength back... this thread is for her... leave a message..say a prayer..send good vibes... it all helps when a person is recovering... thanks... .

comments you will not hear at the 03-13-11 wt study (january 15, 2011, pages 13-17)(marriage).
respect marriage as.
21 marriage, of course, is not the only gift.
OUTLAW: I love a good laugh. A good way to start a new week. Thank you.
talking with a friend, yesterday.. he said asked if the jws attitude had changed on attending meetings.. it seems that while browsing the internet on his phone.. he came across a website that said, "that missing meetings was not wrong , as jehovah knows whats in your heart.".
he couldn't remember the websites title, just that it had "watchtower" in the address.. has anyone else come across this?.
i find it odd that the watchtower would say such a thing, considering the way they are are the moment.. seemingly more strict on meeting attendance.. .
Missing meetings is ...................Way Cool!
this from channel c..... .
"a nice older lady dropped off a couple of magazines the other day.
i hadnt read wt material recently, so decided to have a quick read of the march 1/11 wt, the good news of the kingdom what is it?.
The WTBTS needs an overhaul...................big time!
Good topic.

So we're attending the Watchtower study on 'Respect Marriage.....' when the last person on earth I thought of who would comment raises his hand: It's bro So & So who (I kid you not) is currently going thru a divorce. And then Sister separated comments! And then Brother So & So who is on the Service Committee who is on his 2nd marriage with children from his previous marriage living in another state who he does not keep in touch with comments! And so the Watchtower went........
All these authorities on the subject of showing respect for the marriage arrangement raising their hands to comment not once but twice on some occasions.
I'm reminded of the cartoon and how the WTBTS time and time again is shooting itself in the foot by writing contradictory or hypocritical statements. Now they have the R & F shooting themselves in the foot during the Watchtower study. Monkey see monkey do!
The whole meeting was a JOKE!
I'm beginning to think that it is time to scrap the Watchtower Study Q & A meeting! Sorry Blondie!
