I'am in the Penalty Box! I asked the Circuit Overseer "Who Donates Blood For Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Fragments".
by AuntConnie intold my husband to put a muzzle on my mouth over the blood dogma.
we all were driving around in field service when the topic of "which fragments would you take if you were in a car accident or cut yourself badly".
said his choice is a personal one, another sister with chronic health problems said she had no problem with the governing body's new light on taking various fragments.

AuntConnie, THAT was a SUPERHERO moment! Good for you!
Giordano, the correct term is "blood fractions."

Just this simple fact of life is proof of God....
by EndofMysteries ini'll be curious for any alternative plausible explanations for this...... .
every lifeform on earth, humans, plants, bacteria, cells, anything with life originated with other life.
all trees come from living seeds from other trees, etc.

Nice try, EndOfMysteries. Too bad you are undereducated in the sciences.
IF god made man from the dust of the ground, why did he choose to design our DNA so that it so closely resembles that of simians and ALL OTHER MAMMALS?
Why is man, the "crown of creation" burdened with deficiencies in the design of his skeleton? Our knees and shoulders STINK from a design point of view. Is this the best god could do, or did Adam and Eve have skeletons that are far superior to ours, ours having decrepitated as a result of "sin"?
Why is it that nowhere deep within any organism can we find a byline that says, "made by god"?
You simple proof fails in the light of simple logic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you know that there are simple, inorganic chemicals that are self-organizing? In other words, given an environment in which the raw materials for these compounds are present, the compounds will form spontaneously and "reproduce" "in their own image" until the supply of raw materials runs out.
In the past, (early 20th century and earlier) man lacked the technology to grasp the secrets of the universe. People believed the bible was true because
a) the bible said it was true and
b) there were no viable alternative explanations.
So lots of science was done to "prove" the bible was correct. Unfortunately, in virtually every field of investigation - chemistry, astronomy, archeology, geology - those "proofs" were never found. Instead evidence began piling up that the inerrant word of god was wrong about so many things. Astronomy showed that the earth was not the center of the universe, nuclear chemistry showed how all of the elements "evolved" from hydrogen, archeology found not a single trace of the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years, geology shows that life evolved on earth over billions of years, not the 6000 years claimed by Bishop James Usher, who in 1925 backtracked his biblical "begats" and concluded that Adam was created on October 23, 4004 BC, thus launching the field of Bible-based™ chronological speculation.
Think about it - only 50 years before Pastor Russell started his career, the date of man's creation was "discerned."

What is the biblical justification for says that a creative days is 7000 years ?
by trackregister99 inhello, what is the biblical proof of that a creative days is 7000 years.
i read in the photodrama that russell says that a creative days is 7000 years.
and in 1965 edition of "make sure of all things" page 134 that was changed from "7000 years" to "about 7000 years".. the bible not says the duration of a creative day.

1914 not Christ's Return anymore?
by pacloc inlooking at the public dec 2013 watchtower under bible questions answered it looks like they are saying that the invisible return of christ is completely in the future.
i thought that they always said it started in 1914?
am i reading this wrong?.

Eyeuse2badub commented, " One can arrive at a place without returning. One can arrive in Ireland, having never been there, without returning."
This may be linguistically correct, but would it apply to Jesus' "arrival" and "return"?
He supposedly was here on earth about 2k years ago, right? Suspend disbelief and play along...

What major WTBTS change(s) do you predict for 2014?
by ABibleStudent inwhat major wtbts change(s) do you predict for 2014 to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the wtbts's 1914 prediction?.
after posting to what's in it for them?
(gb), i started to think what major change(s) could the wtbts make to thin the flock and cleanse the congregations of social jws who do not donate or go to meetings.. my premise is that the wtbts is a business, a dangerous cult, and that its printing operations are losing money.

I expect that they'll predict 2015 as being "no more than 12 months away!"

I asked a similar question some time ago, and AlanF pointed me in the right direction to get an answer.
Ready for it? Sit down...
The tradition of a creative day of 7,000 years can be traced back to the ancient religion of Persia, Zoroastrianism.
...that's what I said, too.
