having believed the whole bible, hook, line and sinker all these years i get the impression many of you have come to the conclusion that we should take it with a pinch of salt and not hold to it so dogmatically.

and some possibly believe in it just as much as you did when you were a witness.

to save me some time please, lovely people, as i am very lazy - could you share with me why you do or don't believe in it - what evidence there is either way and if there are any particular books that you found helpful in coming to your conclusions?

Classic "answer a different question" coming up LOL

I believe God speaks in different ways at different times.

I believe that there can be some benefit in a "word for a different time"

I believe that when Jesus instigated the "New Covenant" lots of things changed - including God's principle means of communication.

I believe that it is possible to "connect" with God

I don't rule out God "connecting" with/through other faiths.

I believe that it would be possible to connect with God and never come across a Bible.

Therefore I don't base my faith on scripture alone/totally.

My experience of connection definitely weights my views.

My relationships are no longer dependant on shared belief.

UK Independent Blood Article - 12% JW willing to accept blood

by skeeter1 in

religion: another sacrifice paid in blood.

as sect's transfusion ban claims a mother's life, ex-member recalls her brush with deathby susie mesurepublished: 11 november 2007 for rachel underhill, a 32-year-old mother of two, the news that emma gough, a jehovah's witness, had died last month after refusing a potentially life-saving blood transfusion following the difficult birth of her twins, brought back memories of her own near-death experience in the operating theatre.

I'm with BluesBrother on this one.

I liked the article when I read it at the weekend.

But that statement is as bad as any the WT puts in it's rag.

Evidently a study suggested that 12% of JWs would accept a blood transfusion . . . and 29% also liked cheesecake . . .

I wanna see the source . . .
