When God said "I am perfect, therefore you must be perfect" he was referring to being partical, pls read the context of that verse. This verse does show some interesting points. Firstly it shows that in the area of being partical we can be perfect and it also shows that being imperfect isn't an excuse for everything.

The Perfect religon must be based on LOVE, we can't have a perfect religion with imperfect people, Jesus taught us about LOVE and if we learn how to show love to each otherthen it is about the best we'll get to a prefect religion. We can learn how to show love by thinking about how Jesus did things. The more love we have with each other then the less rules we'll need, the fact that living as a JW is filled with rules, regulations and procedures prove how little love they have.

yesterday, i installed the 2001 watchtower library software on my pc.
suddenly i was not able to view any and all "apostate" sites i had just been to seconds earlier before installing the software, including this forum.
having a gut feeling, i uninstalled the wt library software, and presto!
I can't work out which of you guys are serious and which are joking.
i know a lot of you people are atheists.
of course we know that you chose this path because you are wicked and loony.
you can look all around you and see the creative force at work.
you sound like a Man -hater??? no wonder society is falling to bits..oh well. these days its every man (and woman) for himself.
I bet she's not married, lonely and blaming her misery on men and not herself. She'll make a good lesbian.

"if a doctor were to tell you to abstain from alcohol, would that mean simply that you should not take it through your mouth but that you could transfuse it directly into your veins?
if a doctor told a patient to abstain from alcohol then that patient should avoid unhealthy alcohol consumption whether by mouth or any other means.
The Bible also speaks about "abstaining from foods", does this mean that the writter was telling the reader that they should never eat again? Of course the reader is expected to use "discernment" and try to understand what the writter was saying.
To "eat" something means to pass threw the digestive system. For example, if a man had a liver transplanted into him to sustain his life, would we say that he "ate" the liver? No we wouldn't because the liver didn't pass threw his digetive system.
The WTS is full of tricks and Lies.
i was having a root canal at the dentist yesterday (ouch!!!
) and while i was sitting in the chair looking at the dentist's light i suddenly flashed back to when i was younger and sitting in the dentist's chair.
i couldn't believe it........."think about paradise" actually came into my thoughts.
I don't see why you should want to erase all your past. The paradise is something real that Jjesus spoke about, we know the WTS teachs Lies but not everything they say are lies. The things that do come from the bible are still true. Some leave the WTS and stop beleiveing in God all together, i can't see why we should.

i recently talked to a jw ?elder?
friend of mine, who said that they just received a letter (us) from the society, stating that they should ?da?
anyone who takes a blood transfusion.
I particularly am concerned that the NEW books no not cover Blood transfusions at all. Lets consider the scenario, someone is taught about the kingdom and this earth passing away, based mainly on this they get batized and change their lives styles, they loose their old freinds and make freinds only with the JW's, then a blood Transfusion may be needed for some reason, then they are told that if they do take one then they'll get DAed and on one will talk to them. sounds like a sneeky trap.
