If you know my posts I am an indpendent servant of God using Luke 9.49-50 to justify my position and I don't have to be in the opposition to the small group of united servants whom I find among Jehovah's Witnesses.
How we look and criticize Jehovah's Witnesses they still remain as the best christian organization and they fit into the end-time pattern as I had presented on many occasions.
The issue of blood is very controversial from many points of view. If I told you not eat the soup from the dish you see on the table I would expect your total obedience . You should not even desire to eat the soup in your thoughts or try to find some other way to eat that soup .
If the drinking blood is understood as forbidden in the Bible and someone wants to perfectly obey that rule he should do all possible in his power to abstain from blood in any form . We must bear in mind that God Yahweh is life-giver and has power to raise the dead.
Our present life is short and if we look back whether we are 30 years old or 78 years old all past is like one lump of past time the same to all of all . And the most important thing is to secure the prolongation of our existence by putting our trust in God of the Bible.
Many people opposing Jehovah's Witnesses on blood seem to not belive in life after death ! This life is all there is in their belief. No wonder they will look differently on the blood issue.
The same people don't realize how many lives Jehovah's Witnesses save . Millions of aborted babies die worldwide each year. How many crimes are committed by those who produce tobacco that causes thousands of deaths each year on this planet.
If a child of truly believing Jehovah's Witness dies from parent's refusal of blood this child will go to sleep in which there is no time lapse.It is like sending his own child abroad without seeing him or her for a while and then the believing parents will see their child again living !
Death is like a deep sleep when you lay your child to bed.
When I look back on my life I wonder how fast these years went past and see how many years I have wasted that it really doesn't matter now how many years I lived. Listening to the music I can completely forget all my past and live the present moment alone !
And it happens commonly as we in a given moment of our life don't think about past at all but think about what we see , hear ,feel now ! Here lies the basic reason for us to hope for the everlasting life .Not the past life but the present and the future life is what really counts and is our driving force. Since God Yahweh can give us life everlasting we can know when He acctepts our faith we'll be able to repeat our life cycles all the time . The present we are now is going to be the past in a moment and so on.
The basis of our life is the Present and the Future .And only God Yahweh can fulfill this cycles of life for His worshippers.
In the eternity it will not count if I lived 1 000 000 000 years or 1 000 000 076 years.
Don't worry about children of Jehovah's Witnesses ! They may seem to loose some time for a child but it is nothing when compared with the eternity. Think about yourself if you are not loosing your life completely forever ! This would be a hoorible loss as you have wasted a chance to live forever and that is much more than 1 000 000 children of Jehovah's Witnesses who died as a result of refusal of blood transfusion by their parents. They will rise and live while you may be dead forver.
The lost eternal life is not 1 000 000 children x (say) 100 years of possible life extended with blood transfusion !
The etrnal life is more than 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 and it is only life of one person saved . While 1 000 000 x 100 = 100 000 000 only .
And that 100 000 000 years lost will fade away when the eternity sets in !
Michael Jackson a Jehovah's Witness ? This is controversial in my view ! As I myself would not allow people "worship" me as an idol for the world pop music ! Simply I don't see in the light of the Bible any Jehovah's Witnesses in a role of an idol !
