i just completed writing a series of 8 blog posts dismantling the watchtower's blood policies.. it was my goal to prove that the blood ban is neither scriptural nor sensible.
this is a rewrite of the series of articles i contributed some years ago to the now defunct jehovahswitnessblog site of james peyton (you may also know james as the founder of jwpodcast.
) even though this is a very serious topic, i tried to stay true to the humorous mood "tenny pajamas" always managed to maintain on his site.
I just perused your Blog ,Excellent as it may be but 22 pages long ? Dont get me wrong it seems like an excellent site for those wanting to prove to themselves the absurdities of JW`s claiming they are basing this belief on Bible Scripture in refusing Blood Transfusions.
I am sure many here will benefit from the amount of depth you have gone to with this Blog.
But it is a helluva lot to wade through on this site ,or is it just me.?
I take my hat off to you loyal2truth and wish you all the best.
president trump has decided to wind up the american war against the taliban.
will he fare better than many before him.. the ny times recently published this group of images ranging from the nineteenth century until now, including this group of british officers (photographed in 1878 in afghanistan) many of whom likely stayed on in afghanistan permanently.. .
i'm sure a group of modern day invaders would not look very different.
The Russian State waged ruthless war in Afghanistan, but gave up.
Isn`t it true that the Americans were training and supplying the Afghans with weapons,technology etc. in their war with the Russians ?
Wasn`t their a movie about it ? "Charlies War? I think it was called
Tom Hanks played Charles Wison
the actor harry dean stanton died yesterday.
he was 91. first, i hope his family get support through this difficult time.. stanton was a character actor who appeared in numerous films in a long career - check out his filmography in wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/harry_dean_stanton).
amazing.
I liked him as an actor ,he was in some good movies though I`m not sure Paris Texas was one of them .LOL
RIP Harry D.Stanton
not sure if this question has been asked before but thought it would be interesting to read peoples response..
The first thing I would do is put in a plan to eliminate every S.O.B. who did`nt agree with what I am going to do to end once and for all , Religion, War ,Hunger poverty, Sickness ,so everybody could die happy after a couple of hundred years of old age
And anybody who is`nt with the plan can go to Hell.
greetings, friends:.
today, i saw an old friend in town, and, after we got caught up and finally said our goodbyes, she asked me to pray for her.
family problems were eating her up.. how have you responded if and when you were asked this?
The person I am today would be sympathetic to the plight such a person is going through however I would explain to them why I dont believe my praying to a mythical God is going to do them any good.
And if I were able to offer sound advice and suggestions to help them I would,but prayer is not something I believe in anymore.
first, a word about the watchtower’s financial position: nobody (outside the watchtower organization) knows.
the wtbs is not required to disclose its finances, and doesn’t.
we can speculate, but that is all we are doing.
The WT religion would probably end up with a lot of "Jimmy Swaggart" type ministries around the world all doing their own thing.
do any of the current governing body have academic qualifications?.
thanks.

They may be idiots but then again , THEIR in control of a multi-million dollar empire reaping the benefits.
just saying
just ~one~ company changed names 27 times??

I wonder how the average JW would respond to this knowledge .?
How many different versions of Christ Jesus can we present to the world to save all mankind.? According to JW`s ?
I thought the christian message was simple easy for the common people to understand ,I was obviously wrong if you believe JW`s
And i thought the GB/ JW`s only spoke with a forked tongue ,how wrong was I .!
do any of the current governing body have academic qualifications?.
thanks.
paul.
Yes, of course, they have all graduated from the higher education that is available from reading and studying the Watchtower and Awake magazines as well as the many now defunct bound Volumes of WT`s and hardcover books that have now been deemed as "Old Truths"
However the Academic Qualifications of the GB are without parallel
jehovah's witnesses appeal russian decision on declaring them extremist organization.

[40 page court argument with 166 points.].
We all know that the WTS has some nasty teachings but most followers are harmless and now are facing persecution and problems in everyday life due to state sponsored discrimination.
fair enough point taken :
However the message Jehovah`s Witnesses take to the Russian people is abandon your hope and trust and support in your government and all the benefits you get from this Government that you currently rely upon ,whether it be health care ,age care ,pensions etc,etc,and so on .And be neutral in the conflicts of war efforts and politics.
Put your trust and hope in Jehovah`s kingdom of Christ Jesus guaranteed to you by the American based religion of Jehovah`s Witnesses .
Do you see where I am going with this post ?
Think about it.
The average JW are just pawns in the bigger scheme of things.
