  Any news on Blood?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i haven’t seen anything in the news lately and wt position remains the same, so no change.

  except, that when there is massive blood loss, my family mds have told me that without a bt there is practically zero chance of pulling through—short of an act of god.

  jw know this and have decided beforehand.

  Christmas and the name jehovah

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for the same reasons jw's reject christmas they use the name jehovah.. dec 25 is the recognized day to celebrate the birth of christ in the world.- we use jehovah because it is the recognized name of the father in the world.. it dishonors jesus because we don't know the actual date of jesus birth- even though we don't know the actual pronouncing of gods name it brings honor to god to use it.

  even though the angels rejoiced at the birth of jesus, no where in the bible does it say we should celebrate it.

  even though no where in the bible does it say christians are to be witnesses of jehovah, we proudly bear his name!.

  Who raised Jesus from the dead?

  by Blotty in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have seen arguments surrounding jesus' resurrection being proof of "the trinity" - now while in some cases it's a good argument the evidence for it remains very weak.

  (bible quotes are from the nwt but other bibles are referenced, use whichever you please) this following version of it is a good example.. "the bible indicates that all [persons] of the trinity was involved in jesus’ resurrection.

  galatians[1:1] says that the father raised jesus from the dead.

  ‘Course they can’t.

  To do so undermines said Organization’s legitimacy and authority too deeply.

  Credit where credit’s due…

  …the GB have done a pretty effective job insulating themselves from the legal system.

  😒 Gosh, I wonder why?

  occult un forces seek to hijack religion for globalism.

  https://thenewamerican.com/occult-un-forces-seek-to-hijack-religion-for-globalism/it does not look like religions dominate un but the other way around.

  journalist alex newman gives a totally different picture about the real state of affairs.

  Phizzy - “…if they had ‘the truth’ there would be no need to lie through their teeth, no need to use loaded language, and no need to control the flow of information…”

  This realization was, in fact, one of the first little wake-up moments for a lot of us, I suspect.

  If you’re dishonest in your efforts to claim the moral high ground, you forfeit the moral high ground.

  Unless…

  …they’re being uncharacteristically (and accidentally) honest, and the WTS’s “religious practice” actually will have difficulty functioning without free government handouts…

  …and if that’s actually the case…

  …what’s that say about “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”?

  Seriously, though…

  … how anyone with half a brain could honestly interpret a suspension of government financial assistance as “interference with religious practice” and expect anyone else to take it just as seriously is beyond me.

  Beth - “…This could bet ugly. I do believe that as the Borg strives for survival,,,they will have less regard for human life and put more lives at risk in order to survive.”

  Honestly, I just figure they’ll make increasingly stupid decisions that’ll dig themselves deeper and deeper into a hole.

  😄

  Placing the rank-and-file at greater risk would qualify, though.
