<------- Miss Goody Two Shoes! Miss Priss! Perfectionist JW kid to a 'T'! My best friend (who was a little bit on the wild side) and I used to actually get into arguments about it. It used to drive me nuts when she'd laugh at me for being so 'squeaky clean'. I was the 'self-righteous priss' until one week before high school graduation. That week I was corrupted by my younger sister who practically force fed me some alcohol for my first time. I was only a JW adult for about a year. (thank goodness!)

can someone explain? cows blood
by nelly136 inas far as i knew the borg had taken verses from the bible to do with .
animal blood and applied it to modern day to cover transfusions,which werent available back in bible times anyways, in the meantime it was always stressed on us to eat bled meat, not kosher just bled, but bled nonetheless,.
how they can justify the turn around when it comes to allowing transfusions from cows blood, when the scriptures they use actually apply to abstaining from animal blood in the first place.

I found that site a couple of months ago. It's a pretty interesting read, don't you think?
Below is the link, however, I had difficulty bringing it up today. Hopefully, others will be more successful.

This stuff literally makes my stomach sick. You'd think with their paranoia that they'd print stuff up discouraging spanking, especially with the advanced technology of little mini spy cams that could easily be placed in Kingdom Hall bathrooms. Could you imagine the press getting ahold of a tape of some woman spanking her infant?

What is the narrow gate?
by YoYoMama inmatthew 7:13-14 .
go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.

Why is it so hard for 'many' to find the 'narrow gate'? If I was God, I don't think I'd brag that 'many' wouldn't be able to find their way, thus resulting in their destruction. Are children amongst this 'many' crowd?
What would happen if 99.9% of the population converted to the JW faith? Would the road become wider? Does the road expand to accommodate a larger number? Or does He only WANT a small number to live?

Watchtower Propaganda
by JosephAlward inmany have argued that articles in awake!
in recent years show that watchtower was letting itself be told what do by the purple beast, namely, promote the united nations in its writings.
i can understand how many might quickly find support for this claim, for there are, indeed, many articles in awake!

MA,
GRRRRRRRR!!! Thanks for sharing that thread. I don't make it to the board often enough and I must have missed that one. It's just heart-breaking, isn't it? People are actually sitting in jail because of their hypocritical policies. I guess to the WTBTS, these people sitting in prison are more helpful there than going door-to-door. Persecution receives more publicity than door-to-door work. Sad! -

I just wanted to add that the poor JWs who sit in jail because they are instructed that they can't join the military I guess are furthering the work. These stories make it to the media. Is that why they don't let these ones join the military? So that they can further the work through publicity? That's a pretty evil thought.

Joseph - All of that doesn't really matter. JWs disfellowship the average rank and file for joining the local YMCA, but yet the WTBTS goes and joins up as an NGO - a Satan-run organization. If you showed the average rank and file JW a copy of the NGO brochure and asked them if these members are a part of Satan's worldly organization, I assure you, they'd say yes. Then ask them if they can join an organization of Satan's to further the work. They'll tell you 'no!'. That's because the Watchtower tells them that members of Satan's worldy organization will be destroyed.
JWs aren't allowed to participate in the military, because they'd be supporting Satan's world (as someone above said). Some JWs sit in jail (some have been killed as someone said above) because of it. How is that furthering their work? Wouldn't it be better if they just allowed these JWs to do their military time so that they can then further the work? Wouldn't the word be spread more if these JWs were out of jail or alive? Why do they forbid these JWs from participating in Satan's world to further the work, but allow their corporate dudes to sign right up? It's so completely hypocritical and think of the lives that are messed up because they aren't allowed to join a Satan run organization.
Of all organizations that the Watchtower could have joined to further the work - they picked the most controversial one. They know it and that's why they kept it from their members. If I was still a JW and someone showed me proof that the Watchtower was an NGO, along with the NGO brochure, I don't think I'd even believe it, because to believe it - it would mean that my whole world would come crashing down.
If you have never been a JW - I can understand how lightly you view this. But as a former JW, I can tell you that this is a big deal.

What if?- A sobering Thought!
by Bill Parker inhas anyone ever pondered over the two scripture's at matthew 25: 31, 32 and daniel 12:1?
the first tells us that the son of man is "sitting down" ... and that then a "separating" work begins.
then in daniel 12:1 it tells us that when michael "stands up" a great time of trouble ensues.. do you think it's possible he is not yet "standing up?
