either you think the governing body was correct giving direction to be fully vaccinated and do you will keep getting the boosters, or.... if you don’t think the boosters are safe and you decide not to keep getting them then you are admitting that the direction was wrong.. if the direction was indeed harming brothers and sister who kept going to get these injections because of the covid updates then this is a huge wake up call?.
how could this direction from the gb who are i doubt jehovah give such harmful direction?.
It is completely illogical that god directed the GB to "encourage" everyone to take the vaccine as his direction.
It would have been far easier for god, and more within his purview, to notice the virus, "zap it", modifying its protein string, to make it less deadly on a quicker than normal mutation path. Why wait a year for man to develop a vaccine. Then have your TV division make a series of videos. Then coerce the congregation to take a vaccine which conservatively includes "risks"
basic blood questions for jehovah's witnesses.
where does the bible outlaw blood transfusions?
(acts 15:29 gen.9:4) .
No Bible authorized use for blood
Now we are looking for a statement of positive affirmation? Is there such for lawful sex, alcohol? (I will concede there is indeed for incense). Or are these things simply acknowledge as human things?
mark jones, a witness for over 30 years describes what jws call bible studies offered to the public.. .
"they (jehovah's witnesses) offer you a free home “bible” study - which turns out to be a study of a watchtower publication with the bible brought out as an afterthought to try and prop up whatever current idea the governing body are claiming is “the truth” this week.. i think it’s underhanded.. when my parents became jehovah’s witnesses and they offered people a free home “bible” study, this is what they brought to study with them:.
what, did you think they were going to study the bible with you?.
Go ahead and ask them for a bible study and make clear that you’ll only use the bible and no magazines. They might agree at first (might)… but when its made clear during the first study that you wont use their literature they’ll end the study with you.
My mother was able to do this. In fact she studied with one woman using the New Jerusalem Bible, as she was Catholic. My mother was unique- not many people could do this. This woman and her family ended up being baptized.

Unlike a kidney transplant or a metal buttress for a broken bone, BT blood is absorbed by the body thereby ingesting it.
Its not ingested, digested or consumed- the individual components continue in the system until they fail and are removed by the various systems, like the liver or the spleen

I think you've misplaced your argument with the use of the term "gallon of it via IV". That prejudices your answer. Acceptable use of blood is certainly discussed. Jesus sacrifice was the blood of an innocent man, used in order to save life, all life.
Is there a difference in using similar "innocent blood" (not taken unlawfully) in order to save life, albeit in a lesser way? After all, no dead person praises or loves god...

Statistically, 1000 people give you a margin of error of +/-3%. 1000 people is plenty assuming they are truly a random sampling of the population.
Another way to think about that- We've all see FDR holding the paper that says Dewey wins. That polls was done by telephone and was a random sample. The problem was that telephones were not ubiquitous and there for calling people did not result in a random sample. It was actually a sample of the wealthier segment of society.
bible says flood occurred approximately 4000 years ago.
that is about *200 generations of breeding to get to the population on earth now.
keep in mind that the population increase is geometric.
I look at the sun but the sun in not actually there because I am looking at the sun in the past. If the sun suddenly disappeared from the sky, I would still see it and experience its physical effects from its past existence. —So it is observed vis-à-vis reality.
Only for 8 minutes or so, then you have the empirical evidence that the sun is indeed gone.
i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.
instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .
they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .
- Ha Ha . None of the above contains a verse -70 years of Babylon's domination as requested.

Astounding.

There's a calculator for this-
https://calculator.academy/population-growth-calculator/
Using this calculator i used the following criteria
initial population of 6, assuming Noah and wife are past child bearing
3% growth rate. World population growth has historically been 2%, i boosted it 50%
Span of 200 years. Check me on this.
Yields 2,200 by the time Nimrod appears Doesnt seem like enough for him to be king over multiple "cities".
For today's population, I'm not smart enough to read the number it spits out.
Of course nobody knows. The numbers can be spun many different ways.
there is going to be a hole new system of blood cards this march .
the congregation won’t hold any information as they did before from march it will be all put on the pub.
i think it’s to do with vaccines and they are worried now they got everyone vaxed and they want to distance themselves from medical responsibilities and say own personal decisions.
We had the Blood Card / DPA part last night. New card, same as the old card. It was specifically mentioned that our card, just recieved, did not change and is still 2016 issuance other (US) States had been revised.
