Lev 17:11 ( look it up on one of the sites where you can see several translations at a time...it would appear the word soul and life are being used interchangabely.) as in: The life is in the blood or the soul is in the blood...anyway blood is used to make atonement for soul ( or life )...so beings the soul ( life ) needs atonement, then that logically means souls sin. EZE 18:4 lells us the soul who sins will die not live on somewhere else. So choose to believe the soul lives on if that is what you wish...///Now if you really believe the soul lives on, the soul or life is in the blood ( Lev 17:11)-when you get a blood tranfusion, then logically ,you are getting another person's living soul. ( unless you want to argue that the writer of Lev didn't know of which he wrote as the writer of ECC didn't know. ) If you belive the Bible is the inspired word of God, do you get to pick and choose only the parts you like to be inspired? ( barring some texts the translators deliberately altered) ( as to money-from where I am sitting it does met a response to our physical needs in the world in which we live)

Ecclesiastes 9:5 -"the dead know nothing at all"
by aqwsed12345 inthe narrator of the book of ecclesiastes had very little knowledge of many things that jesus and his apostles later preached.
the author does not make statements, but only wonders (thinks, observes, often raises questions, and leaves them open).
he looked at the world based on the law of moses and found nothing but vanity, as the earthly reward promised in the law did not always accompany good deeds and earthly punishment for evil deeds.

If the dead conscious, then that means they are alive...whether in burning torment or heavenly bliss if you prefer that teaching...then you never really died at all - making what Satan told Eve the truth....Job isn't having his compulsory rest and Lazurus wasn't really asleep ( Jesus just lied ) ...What is the point of resurrection from the dead if you have never really been dead to begin with?

Aside from the alleged "composite Sign", what is the scriptural evidence for Christ's 1914 presence?
by Vanderhoven7 inmy take is: 1914 is not biblical since no dates are in the bible.
a hodgepodge of scriptures are ingeniously linked together; then stir in about 9 creative assumptions to arrive at a speculative theory on which to base wts authority.. nathan knorr to fred franz.
"there are some things that i know.

dummy me bought into the composite sign...especially because of them teaching that Jesus return would happen in Oct of 1914 and peace taken from the earth...and wella! World War One....Proof enough for me being the follower and not looking beyond-WWI made it make sense. Only in the past year or so did I realize the war began months before OCT. for whatever that was worth.

I quickly skimmed the articles and the mentioned organizations were used a good light. Double speak-this is doing so and so to improve the earth and scriptures interpersed.

"My book of bible stories" is child abuse!!
by Witness 007 ini once gave this book to a woman with kids at the door...to my shock my next visit she gave it back saying it was discusting and full of violence and sex!
this book was clearly written by some bethel loser with no kids.
i don't understand why witnesses don't have a separate kids school..

there will go a lot of court cases if such evidence isn't allowed in the US...so I am hoping it won't set a precedent for other cases, but I think the JW will use it as a precedent. Does this mean you can confess your child rape to the elders with confidence that it can never be used against you in a court of law?

What the Elders Book Actually says about Suicide and Judicial Hearings for Disfellowshipping
by EasyPrompt in"the shepherd the flock of god elders’ manual had instruction to take notes, sign and file them in judicial cases where the accused threatens suicide.
this instruction was removed in 2020. pic 1 is 2019 version, pic 2 is from a 2020 edition.
it remains the same in 2023.

EasyPrompt, I want to add to what I wrote about the situation in Maine...The DO called it "dispicable!" and nothing was done.
