TO THE STUPID ATHEISTS:

by atheist_R_stupid in

being that this is not "ex jws" and in fact, more driven by atheists talking a bunch of crap, im not even going to address you people like you know anything about jws because you dont.

nor am i going to assume you know the bible because none of you do.. and yes, im speaking down at you all because you men have actually went out your way to make a site to speak down at an entire group of people.

yet i bet you cant even handle a single uswer talking down at you, like you talk down about jws can you?.

How to explain the HYPOCRISY of the JW blood doctrine with out getting DFd?

by Crazyguy in

the jws since 1945 have taught that one should commit suicide and sacrifice oneself to god rather the take blood.

then in 2006 in an awake they said one could take hemoglobin even cow hemoglobin.

since hemoglobin makes up 96% of what a red blood cell is and 45% of the total volume of blood and is the key component of what makes blood work, how does one explain that this is obviously hypocrisy and do it in a way as to not get dfd?

But did he not save a sheep on the sabbath? Did he not pluck corn on the sabbath to feed his followers? Did he not touch a woman with a flow of blood?

All of these are against the law...but when life is involved he broke it...

New WTS end date - 2034?

by campaign of hate in

so i already made an introductory thread where i said hello and mentioned my feelings toward 2034 being the wts new end date.. we get the year 2034 from matt 24:37 & luke 17:26. the wt commented on the "days of noah" in a qfr article 2010 12/15.

where its stated: "it is logical, therefore, to conclude that genesis 6:3 expresses gods resolve to end the corrupt system of things on earth.

jehovah issued a judicial decree to do so in 120 years, though noah was not yet aware of that.

The GB 2.0 will never ever say another date for the end...too many mistakes have been made in the past but most dubs are unaware of it but if it happened again then it would wake up lots...2034 is plausible if the GB were still like the older members but they have all died.

Tight pants Tony and crew will never say 2034...they would have too much to lose...

Cofty, is there an issue with 8 and 9? It backs up the main points but they are not as important as 1-7.

I told the elders the blood doctrine is crazy and never got DF because I put it this way.

Life is precious to Jehovah
Blood is the symbol of life
Does the symbol of something ever have more value than the thing it is symbolizing?
Your wedding ring symbolizes your marriage...
Would you give up your wedding ring to save your marriage? Of course you would...
Would you give up your marriage to save your wedding ring? Of course you would NOT
So why would God expect us to put blood (symbol of life) ahead of life itself?
Jesus demonstrated this principle when he went against the law many times for the sake of life
Pikuach Nefesh - Jewish principle when life is involved, all Sabbath laws may be suspended to safeguard the health of the individual, the principle being pikkuah nefesh doheh Shabbat--[rescuing a] life in danger takes precedence over the Sabbath. Thus saving a life overrides any view of blood.

Estimation for people who have lived since Adam

by James Mixon in

69-110 billion, 90% of the people who've ever lived are dead.

that's a lot of folks to be resurrected.

take away we who are apostates (a million or two) that still leave 67-110 billion.. raining down manna from heaven will not cut the mustard for 100 billion people, there is not much you can do with manna, manna bread, manna tacos, manna soup and manna sweet cakes.. there is not enough resources to to house and feed 100 billion people, 7-8 billion today.. i'am not a economist or mathematician but the resurrection will create a whole set of new problems for mankind.. it becomes a bigger problem when you figure in those folks the lived before adam that the bible forgot to mention..

notsurewheretogo

Funny thing is the Reasoning Book, published in the 80's or 90's said that it was 20 billion...which was perhaps true back then but as you say now it is very high and will just get higher and higher...more folks on the earth than ever before thus the death rate is high as well...

Kingdom Consolidation and Sales are coming – Reliable Source

by thedepressedsoul in

i heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.

currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.

any kingdom hall that has not been updated and is in a bad location (long driveway, not in a visible location etc...) will be sold.

notsurewheretogo

From a human standpoint it doesn't seem practical does it, I mean if the end is so close and the more preaching work there is you would need more halls...not less...like you would need more spiritual food...not less.

But hey...even if things seem impractical from a human standpoint...trust the slave class!!!

Excuse me while I barf...

NEW LIGHT FROM SLO CIRCUIT OVERSEER "Warning, Blood on Doorposts", "The Couple who Missed One Meeting Died With Their Kids, Don't Miss Any!

by Trailer Park Pioneer in

sorry, i messed up before i could put the right title on this new light from our circuit overseer, his visit show's a great desperation in the organization's mindset, adding more anxiety and guilt to jws who already feel they don't measure up!.

hi, i attended the circuit overseers visit and got really angry because our c.o.

gave information coming from the governing body's chief apologists regarding "meeting attendance" and "the couple who missed one meeting and lost their entire family because they did not get the "411" when armageddon was coming!

notsurewheretogo

So serve for 20 years faithfully...miss a meeting...dead.

Never go to a meeting...never heard of Jehoover/Jebus and go to one meeting...live forever.

This god and this religion sounds great, can I learn more please? </END OF SARCASM>
