  Do you eat blood?

  by laverite in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  abstaining from blood is somewhat trickier for jws than i might have imagined.

  meat glue is apparently widely in use, and it is made from the blood products from a variety of animals.

  i never heard of meat glue before today.. oh my.

  When you eat meat or meat products you eat blood.

  I've had "bloodier" meat and well bled meat; I like the flavor of the well bled better.

  However I love food so if something was really delicious, and it contained blood, I'd eat it without flinching.

  If you don't, or no one finds out you did, commit a dirty sin (fornicate) before you tied the knot then there is NOTHING they can do; however you will have to endure a possible reproof, lots of finger waggling and countless pious stink-eyes.

  What is the Gospel of JW's in a Nutshell?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let the honest-hearted person compare the kind of preaching of the gospel of the kingdom done by the religious systems of christendom during all the centuries with that done by jehovahs witnesses since the end of world war i in 1918. they are not one and the same kind.

  that of jehovahs witnesses is really gospel, or good news, as of gods heavenly kingdom that was established by the enthronement of his son jesus christ at the end of the gentile times in 1914.

  - (luke 21:24) the watchtower 5/1/81 p. 17 par.

  "You Will Be Objects Of Hatred" in the Kingdom Hall?

  by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnessses are inculcated how loving they are to one another through the magazines, platform talks, and back slapping among the "shiney happy tier 1" players.

  there are those here, who have experienced hatred while attending the kindom halls.

  how come this hatred is never touched on in magazines, why are we painted as "the most loving people on earth"?

  Witless love is always conditional and seasoned with backbiting hatred.

  I don't know how they think they'll EVER beat their swords into plow shears when their sword/knife is stuck in my back!

  Why do JWs take 10 pages to answer a simple question?

  by biometrics in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  whenever i ask jws a simple question about the bible i get ten or more pages in reply.. for example, i ask: "why is lazarus conscious after death (lazarus and the rich man in luke 16)?".

  the brother says he'll get back to me.

  then he gives me get 10+ pages of printed wtbs cd-rom material and asked if i've been reading apostate sites (i think they want to da me).. so i ask another question: "why didn't jesus just use another example that didn't involve consciousness in a burning hell?

  Talking circles is called diversion; they use this because they either can't or don't know how to answer you so they divert your attention by weighing you down with 10 pages of nonsense hoping you'll get confused, and they'll magically step in to "help" you, or you'll give up thus solving their problem.

  If diversion doesn't work then they haul out the big guns and ask the loaded "do you believe in the borganization" question, this is the most effective way to shut you the hell up.

  growing old in the watchtower's "spiritual paradise" really sucks!.

  this is 2012 and i am a younger 'baby boomer' born 1957 so i am 55 years old.... in another 20 or 30 years tops i have this destiny along with every human being including millions of devout jehovah's witnesses.. there is no watchtower 'new system paradise' you will grow old and die.if there really is an apocalyptic event of armageddon jesus christ advent,it only means that the watchtower organization will be swept away along with all other false religion..

  Known Pedophile takes young boy to bathroom at circuit assembly....WTF?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  my mil's circuit assembly was this past weekend.

  she came over for dinner to our home after the assembly.

  in conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference!

  Man Can't Rule Himself

  by falseprophet in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've heard it said from the platform that "man can't rule himself".. satan challenged god's authority and god left man to rule himself.. unfortunately, god changed the rules and man now dies.

  so each generation or two* needs a new ruler with new rules.. it seems that either man dies or god is ruler in the mind of a jw.

  this isn't true - mathematically this creates four scenarios:.

  One of the greatest scams and power plays of religion, and especially Christianity, is man can't rule himself so we should let religion do it. Oh how convenient that they usurp, I mean hold down the fort, and take over god's responsibilities until he comes to hapify our puny existence.

  Remember the world is evil and we should be NO part of it, but when it's advantageous it may be ok to borrow.
