  please, who can provide an intelligent rebuttal to the following illustration?

  i always thought it was bullet-proof:.

  "if your doctor directs you to 'abstain from alcohol' would you be ok to have it injected into your veins rather than drink it?

  Thank you everyone for the great article links, very helpful.

  I really enjoyed Island Man's fornication vs gyn procedures rebuttal & think in a hurry I would fall back on that!

  Please, no responses like "blood is good for you, alcohol isn't," that's too simple.

  A problem with the book of Daniel

  by wozza in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  left the wts some years ago, but just before i left we were studying the daniel book that they produced in the book study .. i noticed something wrong in the bible account of daniel and brought this up at the end of the study when the conductor asked if everyone understood that nights study,.

  i think i may have started a topic here some years ago about this event ,it was a time when i started to question the wts in my heart and mind.the scriptures are lengthy so i will just shorten things by describing the stories in daniel and how one point really got me thinking about things and perhaps made the brothers wierd out about me sand distance themselves ,here it is..........dan ch 1-4. daniels ( who came to be called belteshazzar)in babylon along with shadrach,meshach & abednego ,daniel,after praying with these 3, interprets and states what nebuchadnezzars dream is( we all know this ,the image with the head of gold body of iron and copper etc) and they are rewarded by being positions of authority.

  daniel made ruler of the province and chief prefect over babylons wise men ,the 3 were made overseers of the administation of the province ,all very important jobs ,.

  I'm glad you brought this up wowwza, I had noticed these same points before.

  There is a lot more wrong with Daniel. During that study I used to think I was the only one having a hard time with it, now I see everyone else just had their head buried in the sand.

  After Death Communications in the JW community

  by jack2312 in

  2. experiences

  my name is jack and i'm looking for after death communications from the jehovah witness community.

  an after death communication (or adc) is when a loved one sends a kind of message to this side of life after their death.

  it can be a dream or smell (like perfume or roses that would be attached to them in memory) or a feeling of their presence.

  Faulty Reasoning to Promote God's "Name"

  by Dissonant15 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as i am newly awoken, i am daily having epiphanies & revelations now.

  i've been casually wondering to myself since the propagandist broadcast about the name "jehovah" if it would be more proper to call him "yahweh" to myself.

  well tonight the answer suddenly came to me: it doesn't matter.

  Well tonight the answer suddenly came to me: It doesn't matter. If He/She indeed exists, it is not true that you MUST "know and use God's personal name" in one's own language in order to know & have a relationship with Him (/Her). Most children live their whole lives calling their parents "Mom" & "Dad," which are TITLES, and no one criticizes this. I have had foreign friends who introduce themselves & go by American names because their legal name is too difficult for most English-speaking persons to pronounce & spell.

  It does not matter.

  Have you tried pointing out the hypocrisy of her actions? I never considered using sex as a weapon when my husband woke up before me. What about "your fine conduct may win them over/[back]"? And "render the marriage due"?

  I don't mean to add fuel to your fire but as an honest onlooker's opinion, it seems to me your wife is a mean and spiteful person at heart, addition to and beyond the WT's influence.

  i'm sick of.... ...having an elder i barely know invite himself over to my house, and bring another asshole elder with him, you know, to "see how i'm doing" f-ck them.

  ...having same elder with all insincerity approach me at the beeting and before inviting himself over, ask, "how are you doing?

  " then when i say everything is great, go ahead and invite them selves over anyway.

  I already know what my answer is going to be if they knock on my door: I'm going to put my hair up and robe on and say."I wish you'd called first, I can't have you in because I'm vomiting and diarrhea-ing again."
