  How did Adam and Eve survive when kicked out of the Garden of Eden?

  it’s funny how a simple question like this is something that the dubs never even consider.

  my dad asked this question to a couple of witnesses and they wondered for a minute and said; .

  “i never thought about it, i’ll have to ask the elders”.

  Someone knew we were coming then,think about oxygen someone knew we would need

  air to live here.
  

  a colorless, odorless reactive gas, the chemical element of atomic number 8 and the life-supporting component of the air.About a fifth of the air is made up of oxygen, and almost all the rest is nitrogen. Oxygen comes from plant photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is absorbed and oxygen is emitted.

  
  Most of Earth's oxygen comes from tiny ocean plants – called phytoplankton – that live near the water's surface and drift with the currents.

  
  In space, no one can hear you scream. This is because there is no air in space – it is a vacuum. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.

  We needed heat and light so someone created our star which is our sun ,
  200 billion suns are in the Milky Way galaxy alone. but ours just happned to be close enough to sustain life here but not too distance where we would freeze to death

  
  The sun is about 93 million miles away from Earth If ... If Earth were closer to the sun, however, the oceans would boil away. and if farther we would not be able to live on earth

  So with the amount of suns in the milky way this just so happened to be just where we needed it. Too many coincidences for me to accept your beliefs

  Questions About the Watchtower's View on Blood Transfusions.

  i admit to not being very well informed about the watchtower's view on blood transfusions.

  i have a couple of questions that i hope someone here is able to answer.. i understand that the watchtower now considers it to be okay to receive blood fractions.. my first question is: are all fractions considered to be permissible?

  and if not, specifically which fractions are not permissible?.

  Admittedly I'm not an expert on blood procedures

  "Then why not stop making a lot of noise, take a step back and listen to those who are?"

  So we have here armchair hematologists and immunologists ?

  After receiving a transplant, white blood cell count will decrease quickly and will remain low until the new cells begin to grow (engraftment). During this time, you are at great risk for developing an infection since you will not have white blood cells to fight bacteria, viruses or fungi. We are talking bloodless surgery here where
  the donor's blood is flushed from the body as the organs are flushed. The blood is not used in any transfusions. So it would be dumb to transfer millions of white blood cells and think its acceptable

  Admittedly I'm not an expert on blood procedures ,This is what Ive found on the subject
  

  Patients who are Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions and blood products as a matter of faith. For surgical procedures during which substantial blood loss is possible, their refusal presents a challenge. 'Anesthetists must generally respect the requests of adults not to receive blood and thus should have a clear understanding of how they will respond in the event of bleeding. Several blood conservation techniques are available for consideration, including acute normovolemic hemodilution. This technique entails the preoperative phlebotomy of whole blood that contains a high concentration of red blood cells and coagulation Patiefactors, while replacing the lost volume with a crystalloid and/or colloid infusion. The procured whole blood can then be transfused back during or after the procedure as a treatment of hypovolemia. Leaving the procured blood continuously attached to the patient through the collection tubing makes the procedure acceptable to most Jehovah's Witness patients. Current literature is unclear when this technique should be used. In this particular case, acute normovolemic hemodilution contributed to the successful outcome of an anemic Jehovah's Witness who was undergoing major surgery.

  That would be the case if Adam was like a cave man with little or no intelligence and just plain dumb and stupid grabbing Eve by the hair and dragging her into a cave or something. But that was not the case they have found in the Aztec world.

  Aztecs used relatively primitive tools for Aztec farming and agriculture. They did not have advanced tools for the time such as plows. The most important tool for Aztec farming and agriculture was the classic wooden digging stick.The Aztecs did not have iron or bronze to make cool weapons. They used obsidian and chert. When the Spanish came, the Aztecs made an advancement to copper weapons. Aztec technology was so advanced, they even made drills out of reed and bones.The Aztecs knew in order to settle down successfully that they would need many engineers and builders and traders. They adapted to their environment. They built canoes so they could hunt and fish. They created medicines from the many plants they found in the area.

  I just use them as examples and Adam had to be more intelligent than these were.

  You make it sound like outside of the garden was a wast land barren a dusk bowl,God wouldn't banish them to die of starvation.Its not reasonable to think the only trees and plants on earth were just in the garden

  Gen 1 NWT
  Then God said: “Let the earth cause grass to sprout, seed-bearing plants and fruit trees according to their kinds, yielding fruit along with seed on the earth.” And it was so. 12 And the earth began to produce grass, seed-bearing plants+ and trees yielding fruit along with seed, according to their kinds

  Youre saying blood storage is approved is my contention is its not .The procedure of hemodilution,this is a procedure that can be done during surgery that dont require storage of the blood,you make it sound like it can be stored as well , amount of blood is allowed to recirculate is no difference than dialysis.

  These were false brothers in the first century and false brothers today that have slipped in to the congregations and done horrible thing to women and under ages girls the bible warned of such so why is this such a shock its happening in Gods clean organization

  New Living Translation
  Even that question came up only because of some so-called believers there—false ones, really—who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus

  Contemporary English Version
  We went there because of those who pretended to be followers and had sneaked in among us as spies

  NWT Jude 1
  

  These are the rocks hidden below water at your love feasts+ while they feast with you, shepherds who feed themselves without fear;+ waterless clouds carried here and there by the wind;+ fruitless trees in late autumn, having died twice.These men are murmurers,+ complainers about their lot in life, following their own desires,+ and their mouths make grandiose boasts, while they are flattering others* for their own benefit.+These are the ones who cause divisions,+ animalistic men,* not having spirituality.

  And yes some are Elders who had responsibility in the congregation

  So your post exposes nothing that hasn't been predicted in scripture

  Management of patients who refuse blood transfusion - NCBI

  
  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nihIt may be acceptable to some JW if the blood is not stored .gov/pmc/articles/PMC4260316/
  Google blood storage and jehovah's witnesses
  Jehovah's Witnesses and BloodJehovah's Witnesses believe that the Bible prohibits ingesting blood and that Christians should not accept blood transfusions or donate or store their own blood for transfusion.
  
  Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions, including autologous transfusions in which a person has their own blood stored to be used later in a medical procedure
  hemodilution that involve blood storage is different from during surgery

  Techniques for intraoperative collection or hemodilution that involve blood storage are objectionable to them. Im not speaking for all JWs I said Each one of JWs has to do what his conscience dictates,

  Show the evidence,you just made a blank statement

  Do you believe in a Rapture that the Churches teach instead of living on earth forever

  its taken from 1 thessalonians 4:13-17. now jesus compared the end to the days of noah .

  but as the days of noah were, so shall also the coming of the son of man be.

  why did he compare the two and does it give us a clue to which teaching is the right one?.
