  The Watchtower are Right About Blood...

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.

  it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.

  they take pride in obedience.

  Atheism = self defeating.

  by towerwatchman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  atheism = self defeating.

  first may we define our terms.

  the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.

  "what man among you with 100 sheep, on losing one of them, will not leave the 99 behind in the wilderness and go after the lost one until he finds it?

  " - luke 15:4. disclaimer: by posting the following observations i am not complaining.

  i am happy to be left alone.

  I don't have any sheep, and I'll bet that no one on this discussion board has any sheep either.

  Just sayin'.

  This stuff is IRRELEVANT.

  Cofty selected the subject line,

  The Watchtower are Right About Blood...

  Shouldn't that be

  The Watchtower am Right About Blood...?

  apparently jehalapeno isn't a 2nd amendment supporter either.... .

  july 17 questions from readers.... the way this part is worded screams cult to me, i was quite amused.. how a christian chooses to protect himself, his family, or his possessions is, of course, largely a personal matter, as is his choice of employment.. geee!

  thanks watchtower for allowing me to "largely chose my own employment" you are a generous cult lol.

  freemindfade axed, "do these bodyguards carry guns or other weapons?"

  The Westinghouse M-27 Phased Plasma Pulse Pistol is favored for its power and concealability. It is said that a direct hit from one of these puppies can leave an angel stunned senseless for 15 minutes or longer.

  i got this account second hand.

  a former bethelite was reassigned to a local congregation.

  he had been at bethel for years and is now in his fifties.

  I wonder if he has any theories about why Jah-wad would "test" him.

  Is he Job-like in his devotion to his imaginary friend?

  Would Job have said, stifling a weep, "It was a test"?

  Cheer up! At least you think you have the resurrection! Or will that prove to be a disappointment too?

  ...and yet, even as we speak, the members of the GB have bodyguards - not angelic, because you can never be sure when an invisible person has decided to take a dump, grab a smoke or some fish 'n chips - no, they have mere mortal Bethelites assigned to "take one for the Gipper" if necessary.

  I wonder how they make sure they aren't giving the job to one of the Bethel "prancing nancies" who will SCREECH! and run away if threatened?

  ...and if you say they're not peaceful, they'll kill you.

  Which leads me to wonder if there is an Arabic word for irony.
