  OK that old chestnut the blood issue

  by moneypenny in

  i know that this topic has been discussed at great length many times before but i would like to share with you my experiences with jws that knock on my door when i have presented them with this hypothetical situation.. "just suppose that you have two children, one has haemophilia and is being treated with factor v111 which is derived from blood and permissable according to the wtbts as an act of conscience, taken and stored from a worldly person possibly even an apostate, permissable because it is a small fraction even though it takes litres of blood to extract this factor v111.

  you also have another child that because of an accident is in danger of bleeding to death and needs oxygen carrying red blood cells to buy this child time until the bleeding has been brought under control the blood comes from the same source and also stored, but is not permissable by the wtbts would your conscience tell you to let this second child die".

  # 1 jw frantically starts seaching through their little black bag "oh i am sure i have an answer to this in here, oh well, maybe i came without it" says to # 2 jw "do you have it by any chance" .

  Panorama

  panorama to be broadcast sunday bbc 1 at 10.15pm (re the protection of paedophiles within the jw's and entitled 'suffer little children' is the most respected investigative programme on uk prime time tv.

  as a result of this there are always follow ups in the press and radio phone-in programmes the following day.

  this could have serious implications for the jw's recruitment drive.

  trojan Horse....can anybody help

  i recently received an alert from norton anti virus that file c:\windows\tempory internet files\conrent.ie5ktin81.2f\vcounter[1].htm was infected with a trojan horse.

  i tried to repair but couldn't so i quarantined it and attempted to submit to symantec research centre......they didn't want it saying it was non repairable, they knew about it and to delete the file and replace if necessary eeeeerrrrr ddddooooo.

  i sent it anyway because i didn't want it either and i'm not sure i'm capable of deleting the file.. so anyway, quarantine is now showing empty and a recent scan of my hard drive is clean.

  The Ark a question can anybody help????

  by moneypenny in

  while listening to a radio programme this morning i heard an anglican clergyman, whilst relating the account of noah and the flood, say that a hole had been made in the side of the ark and this related to jesus having a wound inflicted in his side too, therefore jesus is the spiritual equivalent of the ark in noahs day.. now i prefer that version rather than the jw line that the organisation is the spiritual ark.

  i have read the account in genesis both in the living bible and the king james and cannot find any mention of the ark ever having a hole inflicted in its side.. .

  i wasn't paying much attention to the radio it was just going on in the backround but this got my attention because i was brought up a methodist and i seem to recall something about this in my dim and distant past.

  charitable status

  by moneypenny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anybody heard about individual congregations being charities in their own right as opposed to wtbts.

  so if anyone tries to sue they could only sue the charity they subscribe to and not the society itself?.

  i saw something on channel c forum.
