According to JWs' application of Acts 15:29, shouldn't they also be refusing medical examinations by gynecologists?

by Island Man in

watchtower uses the following twisted logic to equate receiving a blood transfusion, with feeding on blood:.

feeding is sometimes done by injecting nutrients intravenously.. blood transfusions are carried out by injecting blood intravenously.. therefore the intravenous injecting of blood can be equated with feeding intravenously.. hence, true christians refuse blood transfusions in order to obey the biblical command to "abstain from blood".. now notice how the same kind of twisted logic leads to the equating of an invasive examination by a gynecologist, with sexual intercourse:.

sexual intercourse is often done by inserting the penis into the vagina.. certain invasive examinations by a gynecologist is done by inserting an instrument into the vagina.. therefore such invasive gynecological examinations can be equated with sexual intercourse.. hence, true christians refuse such gynecological examinations that are performed by someone to whom they're not married, in order to obey the biblical command to "abstain from fornication".. it's the same kind of twisted reasoning, isn't it?

I am with you - the hunker-down mentality is only a shtick to keep the r&f in expectation. The fact that the GB know it is a shtick only reinforces this as a cult.

When a group screams sacrifice - your first question should be who benefits from this scacrifice.

I'm sure this has been covered extensively, but the whole 1918/1919 thing always confused the hell out of me. Does this QFR at the end of the magazine add on at all to their newer understanding put out in 2012? They can be sly about things when they are modified or added on to!

Here is a video about 1919 from a friend and ex Gilead Missionary

If you think it is confusing, there is a reason for this confusion - it simply does not make sense.

The little girl is unhappy because Vin Diesel is forcing her to attend a brainwashing session in the basement of some quacks house !

That young girl has an independent spirit that screems - GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE! THESE PEOPLE ARE FU*&ING CRAZY! I am sure she will be posting here as soon as she learns to type.

I never experienced this because both my parents passed prior to my learning TTATT. That given, I cannot imagine my parents abandoning me. I doubt the would - At least that is what I hope.

Why Do Witnesses Promote A Unhealthy Lifestyle, My COBE weighs 340lbs (5ft 7in).

by BucketShopBill in

please don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.

i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.

i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".

NewYork44M

There is something wrong with a group where the skinny guy is 340 lbs.

COBE weighs 340lbs, he's super hateful towards sisters who are overweight and even make's fun of people fatter than him.

JW.org down?

by jw07 in

i'm seeing tons of comments from sad jws on my facebook feed saying that the beloved golden calf jw.org is offline.. what are you seeing when you try it?

*crosses fingers* i wish it could never ever return.. are they getting too much traffic to support?.

work of hackers?

NewYork44M

It works now. But I suspect that they have no idea how hard it is to maintain a website.

Sadly inevitable...JWs glad that Robin Williams died on "this side" of Armageddon

thread is here:.

a few quotes:.

NewYork44M

I am not surprised. Anyone that dies prior to the GT has a hope of the resurrection (think of all those fortunate people who dies at 9/11). So, does this mean that publishers should have a watchtower and a gun when they go out in service?

Is Armageddon part of the Great Tribulation? what was WT writers word?

by prologos in

jw
friends

or put into other words:.

is armageddon included in in "all the things" that are to come to pass during the 'generation' that jesus spoke about?.

NewYork44M

I never quite understood how the society interchanges the GT with Armageddon.

just what am I supposed to believe now??

by purrpurr in

while i'm glad i found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything i've believed in my whole life.

i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.

this has left a huge hole in my soul.

Also, remember you don't really have to believe in anything. You are at a great starting point in your journey. The goal of this journey does not have to be figuring out what to believe in, it can be what ever you want it to be.

Good luck.
