How familiar are you with the scientific evidence for evolution?
Would you be open-minded enough to discuss it?
Im not adapted at evolution belief, Im one of JWs minister but have access to any topic there is to refute that belief,so yes we can discuss it
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?.
David who was thirsty exclaimed he longed for water after being pinned down,his warriors heard that and fought to get water to David,but what did he do when they offered it to him?
New Living Translation
David remarked longingly to his men, “Oh, how I would love some of that good water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem.”
New International Version
So
the three mighty warriors broke through the Philistine lines, drew
water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to
David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out before the
LORD.
Why did he do this?
New American Standard Bible
and
he said, "Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this. Shall I
drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?"
Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.
So sometimes distinction, physically, ethically and morally are relevant
.
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?.
In simplistic terms if the comma in Luke 23:43 is that day the thief was to be with Jesus then why did Jesus tell Mary he had not yet ascended to the father,if fact he was on earth 40 days
"Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father
So days later he told the thief he would be with him had to be the day he was saying it not TODAY you will be in paradise makes no sense that teaching,it could have easily been I tell you today you will be with me and in view of the fact he didnt go anywhere JWs teaching makes more sense not the Churches

I do,as I stated and quoted from scripture after the flood God told Noah he could now eat meat and I said why God now allowed the killing of animals now for food where as before he didn't ,Blood is sacred to God ,he says the life is in the blood and in Israel without the shedding of blood sins could not be forgiven
New International Version
In
fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood,
and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
New International Version
"But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.
Whats the difference to taking a blood transfusion and just drinking blood ,believers are told to abstain from blood
Abstain ;
One is free to do what he wants in regards to things God forbids but will suffer the consequences in the end

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

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.
