We are imperfect

by HereIgo in

i can't tell you how many times i have heard this while growing up as a witness.

every time i questioned hypocrisy in the org i was told " well we are imperfect" and its was beyond annoying.

at what point does "imperfect" turn into just not christian?

I have a family member who uses this ALL THE TIME!

"All Jehovah has is imperfect people." This is pretty much verbatim.

Either god is directing you or you're a fallible human who opened your big fat mouth and put your foot in it. Can't have it both ways. Sorry, but you just can't

Its amazing how individual witnesses can compartmentalize and not even realize they are trying have it both ways. Well I guess not really since it's practically a prerequisite for being a witness.

What did god do when the Israelites started offering their sons and daughters to false gods, at the direction of the priests supposedly appointed by god? Didn't he abandon them? Didn't he tell honest-hearted people to stop listening to these false leaders?

I would love to have a biblical example to share, even though it will surely be disregarded.

Does anybody know where to find this account?

i have a favor to ask.

i need some information found in a watchtower that i can't seem to find in my library.

today, the watchtower teaches that the governing body is the faithful slave.

I'm so glad this quote was found! I knew what Barbara was talking about and couldn't find it either. Soon I think this may be very useful to me.

Deconstructing Splanes 'Generation' explanation

by Splash in

at around 4 minutes into the september 2015 video splane said "for the man and the baby to be part of josephs generation they would have had to have lived at least some time during joseph's lifespan.".

this is the lynchpin of the wt argument, that two lives must overlap to be considered the same generation.. let's take an example of twins who are born just a few minutes apart.

obviously, these twins are the same generation as each other.

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

by Designer Stubble in

guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.

david spane does his best to explain it again.

the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

Breast milk contains white blood cells

by Rufus T. Firefly in

jw
friends

i just learned (from a post on a facebook jw recovery forum) that breast milk contains white blood cells [see link below for confirmation].

so, when nursing, an infant ingests its mother's white blood cells for nourishment.

furthermore, i have known jw mothers who would nurse the infant of another mother when that mother was temporarily indisposed.

Splash your logic = awesome!

Thanks for the wt references nothing like using their own literature against them!!!

My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT

by cofty in

10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.

12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.

15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.
